    Food was ok, VERY overpriced for what we received. Main course and desert were overcooked. Server was outstanding, but kitchen was very slow. Roy’s, you can do better.

    Food is excellent. However, the wait time between ordering and receiving food ranges between 50 and 70 minutes which is just too long. For a restaurant that is continually serving conferences, they are routinely understaffed to manage the amount of people they seat.

    We waited for an hour after ordering and never got our food so we left. I would have rated food a zero, but there’s no way to do that on Open Table.

    Outstanding food and creative custom cocktails. The view cannot be beat. The only reason they lost a star was they didn’t wipe the table between courses.

    Worst lunch with clients ever. We arrived at 1.15pm. Appetizer arrived at 1.45 and entrees at 3.10. We were so ashamed for inviting our clients and having these huge delay. I cannot believe this. Terrible service. I had to stand up to inquire about our food. Terrible

    Not the best. Agree it was a later seating at 8pm. Food extremely slow to come out and dish was cold. Not too crowded. Just an off night I guess.
