Welcome to Roy's Ka'anapali! Since opening "the original" Roy's Hawaii Kai in 1988, I have set out to explore "new directions," blending classic European cooking techniques with unique influences of Asia and the Pacific. Guided by the freshest ingredients and my own sense of freedom, the menu is constantly evolving.

    We sat near the kitchen even though I asked to move to open tables that were available. Food was not hot, and overly salted. Staff was ok. Food took a long time to arrive. We go to this Roy’s every time when in Kaanapali, but not a great experience this time.

    We’ve been to Roy’s several times. This time was disappointing. My husbands’ ribs were way too salty. My macadamia encrusted Ono was quite dry. The atmosphere was meh. But the wait staff was quite cheerful. I’m going to chalk it up to a bad night, sick chef, or perhaps it’s just the Kaanapali location. I want to believe in Roy’s so this is only one strike.

    THIS IS NOT THE ROY’S YOU ARE THINKING OF. Apparently some locations split off and are independently operated? This one is crap. Food was subpar, prices still high, and the location is a converted golf club?? AVOID.

    We had a great time and our server was very attentive and kind. Only hiccup was my wife’s dinner was cold. But the server and team immediately rectified it, she loved her dinner, and we continued on with a great evening!

    The food was great; our waitress wasn’t the best for such a high end restaurant. Had to ask for water several times and my friend asked for a specific vodka and she was supposed to check withe the bartender to see if they had it in stock, but she never got back to us.

    Having been to Roy’s in other destinations, this location did not meet expectations. The service was meh but the food lacked flavor. We’ve had amazing meals from Roy’s and heard this location wasn’t favorable but we decided to make our own opinion. Turns out, the advice we were given was correct. Best part of the meal was the appetizer(blackened island ahi). Was looking forward to their signature cocktail (Hawaiian Martini) which was listed online, but apparently can’t be served in Maui. Entrees chosen were the misoyaki butterfish and the grilled au & shrimp duo. The cook on the fish was done nicely but the flavor of the dishes left you desiring more. Very bland compared to our experiences from other Roy’s locations. We’ve had amazing experiences at Roy’s but this location was not it. We tried it, will go elsewhere when we are back.

    Food was excellent, but the main course was not hot. Only the plates were hot, the food not. The service was regular.

    The renovation was stale and restaurant was very bright. The tuna appetizer was great as always but entrees were not great. Menus printed on paper and just seemed like a restaurant opening for the first time. We have eaten at Roy’s probably 100 times over the past 20 years and this was our first mediocre experience.
