Through a series of minor set-backs here and there and mostly other activities, we realized that we had only one more evening at Hawaii (before going to Kauai) and we had yet to go out to a nice restaurant. I was very disappointed that I was not able to get reservations at Roy’s. However after wandering around for over ½ hour or so in the Kings’ Shops mall, we came upon Roy’s and tried to see if we could get in. They accommodated us! We may not have had the most desirable table in the house but the service was so good that you would have never known that our table was just outside the kitchen (which I normally would not accept). Yes the meal was a little expensive, but it was worth it.
I will start with desert since that is always my favorite part of dinner. I ordered the house specialty: chocolate soufflé. It is scrumptious! The chocolate concoction is appropriate for the Volcano Island since the hot chocolate center could be compared to hot lava (not in taste but consistency)! And of course the raspberry sauce was artfully arranged on the plate. The only part I didn’t like was sharing it with my husband. But for most "normal" people, the desert was definitely big enough for two (I just hate to share good deserts!). When I was surfing on the web, not only did I find Roy’s web site, they actually publish the recipe for the soufflé! For recipes By the way, the desert has to be ordered when you receive your entrees in order to give the chef enough time to prepare.
My entrée was macadamia nut encrusted white fish (I can’t remember which fish). Not only was my meal excellent tasting, the chef had done an excellent job with the presentation: you could have taken a picture of the plate since it was so pretty. Bob’s pork tenderloin was very tasty.
I was so happy that we were able to eat at Roy’s! You can also view sample menu entrees on the web. In looking at the menu, the entree choices were a reasonable number but boy was it hard to choose since so much was tempting.
The cost for dinner for two (including entrees, desert, one coffee, few beers, tax and tip) was $82.00.
