Upscale spot for Hawaiian fusion cuisine. High-end chain serving notable chef Roy Yamaguchi's Hawaiian fusion fare in a contemporary setting.
We went late on a weekday, around 8:40 pm, and decided to grab a few appetizers and drinks at the bar. This place is fantastic!! The staff was super friendly. They accommodated us and didn’t make us feel rushed at all, even though we were there close to closing. Our bartender walked us through the drinks and menu and gave us some great recommendations. He also let us sample the pineapple used for the famous Pineapple Martini, which is soaked in vodka for two weeks before being used in their drinks! ? I would highly recommend the Pineapple ? Martini, I literally could only drink one! All of the food was fabulous, and I would say that the egg rolls were my favorite out of all that we tried. We will be going back for sure!
My family and I dined here on Christmas day and got to experience their Christmas menu. We were greeted by the hostess and were immediately seated (we had made a reservation online). We were seated where half our table could see the lovely view outside. Next time we may ask for the patio, because it looked beautiful out there. I ordered the Szechuan Spiced Pork Ribs for my appetizer. The ribs were insanely good and filling. I ordered the 14oz USDA Prime New York Strip as my entree. The steak was medium rare instead of rare, but other than that it tasted great. The mac n cheese that came with it was just okay. For dessert the whole table ordered the Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding which was very good. My sister ordered the Thai-Style Seafood Bouillabaisse as her entree and it was freaking amazing! I will order that next time we dine here. Our server was Kristen, who was awesome. She checked on us regularly and always made sure we were goodbon drinks. She was really helpful with menu recommendations. We parked in the hotel's parking lot and had our parking ticket validated at the restaurant.
Really nice restaurant facing the marina behind the San Diego Marriott Marquis. Went here for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. The food was excellent. Had the Canoe sampler, a salad, and Chilean Sea Bass. The staff gave us a complimentary lava cake for dessert since we were celebrating, took our picture and gave it to us in a card! That was very nice and unexpected. We will definitely be coming back!
The food is great, the drinks are great, you will leave feeling satisfied but your wallet will leave feeling empty. We ate there mid afternoon during comic con and they seated us within 20 minutes, but we also sat for long periods of time. We were all really happy with what we ordered, but the price seems higher than what it was worth. I think the cheapest entree was $48.
This place is Truly amazing. The server was amazing, the food was incredible. I never had sushi that tasted like surf and turf at the same time. Sounds strange but it came out amazing. Highly recommend!
My wife and I were in San Diego for two reasons, a Michael Buble concert and to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have been to Roy’s in various locations and have always enjoyed their Asian cuisine. When we located a Roy’s in San Diego we knew where we would enjoy a great anniversary dinner. This location sits behind the beautiful Marriott Marquis hotel right on San Diego’s waterfront harbor. We were seated at the window row of tables overlooking the harbor and the numerous boat’s moored. We decided on a dinner of appetizers, always a treat at Roy’s. The restaurant atmosphere is quiet and casual. The service is attentive and the items come out of the kitchen fast and hot. For dessert we were treated with the chocolate lava cake accompanied by vanilla ice cream for our anniversary. A sweet surprise! So if you are in San Diego and looking for a great place to dine with a spectacular view, I would highly recommend Roy’s as a restaurant to spend a quiet evening with great food with a view.
Just ok. I get it. Others love this place. The food is good and service ok but overall, at lot of hype and quite pricey. If there was a significant difference in seafood quality or service, sure, but for us, just ok when cut through to the core. Our experience was that the service was rushed. It was not individualized. It wasn't busy either. Our special occasion which they made a big deal about on the phone when we reserved was completely missed. And the plating a bit messy and sloppy. The highlight? The Mai Tai. Delightful.
This was my first time visiting Roy's and will definitely not be my last. The service is unparalleled! Starting with getting a cool glass of water as soon as you sit down and it being refilled constantly without asking. The server was amazing letting us know how long the desert was taking that night in case we wanted to order it, so we would not wait too long after our entree, the busser offered us coffee as well and we gladly ordered it with our desert. The food was incredible definitely worth your penny, every single staff member was very attentive, I would highly recommend this restaurant, we made reservations for 7:30 and it was the perfect time to see the sun set down in the marina. 10/10. ????? The only small downside was that the Marriot parking lot was full (which is not their fault of course) and we ended up parking in the seaport village parking lot, the hostess gladly offered us a validated ticket anyways in case they could honor it, but we ended up shopping at seaport village and getting validation in one of their stores.
