Roy's Kaanapali

We loved our server here. Not only was he great, but the entire staff seemed awesome and made the experience fabulous. We got two different streaks, and the winner was definitely the filet mignon. Both were good and had some pretty good sides. However, I did think it was a little pricey for what we got. The cheesecake was creamy and a perfect blend of ube and vanilla cheesecake.

Great place to celebrate a birthday. Wonderful meal, wonderful service, and a great time. All the dished were delicious. Thank you for an amazing dinner! 🤗

Roy's Kaanapali served us hostility masked by politeness. Arriving 15 minutes early for our reservation, we found the waiting area sparse but adequate for us all to sit once another party was seated. The restroom was clean and stocked. However, the hostess—a dismissive blonde woman with a bun—tried seating us, including our minor children, in the bar. When we requested another table, she curtly insisted none were available by the window. After clarifying that we hadn’t requested one by a window, she led us to a table near the kitchen—a few feet from a four-top table by the window sitting empty. That set the tone for the night. Service remained unwelcoming and rude. Our waiter, Michael, was mostly absent and brusque when present, cutting us off mid-sentence. Only one server, Sarah, showed any warmth and responded to us when we requested something. The food was mostly good but flawed. The mai tais came garnished with limes that were brown. My husband enjoyed his steak, though they were out of the lobster tail he wanted to add to it. My grilled au and shrimp duo arrived lukewarm, the fish dried out. Our daughter found her honey mustard short rib just "okay," while our son's ribeye was well-prepared but the plate presentation was clunky and lazy. The calamari was a hit, but the Caesar salad wasn’t worth the price, nor was the beet salad, which seemed to feature canned, diced beets. Service was slow—our entrées took over 20 minutes. Empty dishes and glasses gathered on the table because Michael was too busy standing at the pass to bother checking on us. In the open kitchen, cooks lacked proper equipment like a salamander, resorting to makeshift methods like holding food up to the broiler, leading to unevenly/improperly cooked dishes like my au. The final straw? Watching a party of two get seated at the once "unavailable" window table. We paid over $400 for average food and inhospitable service, spending the meal pointing out disparities in how we were treated. Lesson learned: we won’t return and I don't recommend it.

Every single thing about Roy’s is perfection. The customer service is top notch, the timing of each dish is excellent, and above all, the flavors are immaculate. Each and every bite of all the dishes we ordered were wiped clean- way too difficult to even choose what to order because it all sounded amazing.

Nice restaurant connected to a golf course. Tasty food. Hawaiian music in the background. Kids menu available

Wonderful experience! Service was phenomenal and the food was absolutely delicious. The Caesar salad with calamari was amazing and the speciality cocktails are definitely worth ordering.

Very disappointed. Very bright and unappealing. Felt like a hotel banquet room. Food was just ok. Used to be amazing. What happened?? We started with saffron shrimp and pork ribs (used to be one of our favorites) and they were both flavorless and just not very good. We ended up leaving and cancelling our dinner entre's. Lights were so bright and decor super stale..out of the 70's or 80's.. server was ok but not super welcoming or happy to be there. Very sad one of our favorite places has declined so much

Outstanding ✨️ service and dinner at Roy's here in Maui. Our Staff person Cindy was fantastic. Pleasant and friendly greetings. Very knowledgeable on the menu. The appetizers were delicious 😋. Main course was absolutely outstanding! Try and make room for the Coconut Sorbet ....

I love coming here when we end our trips to Maui! The food here is flavorful, consistent, and the service is ALWAYS top notch! The staff are always very personable even though they're always short since Covid and then the Lahaina fire. They have wonderful work ethics and you don't see people standing around. They help each other out and when you need something anyone will be willing to help you. Besides the service the two other main reasons I gave Roy's a 5 start rating is their Misoyaki butterfish and how accommodating they were for my daughter. The butterfish is always cooked to perfection every time I go there it's flaky and the miso flavoring is never over powering. Our server said that they marinate their fish for 72hrs to help ensure that the fish absorbs the flavor and the few times they ran out people actually left. Yes it's that good and I'm not a big fish eater too! Secondly they always take care of the keiki! The menu is small for the kids but they get a 3 course meal! It starts with veggies and a quesadilla followed by this main course and lastly followed by ice cream! Best of all our server let us modify our daughter's main course to how ever she wanted it. So she got chicken strips with fries and it was all really good! We always make it a point to make reservations before we go here and to make sure we get seated in the event that it rains and luaus get cancelled.

We did not have a good experience. My 5 y/old daughter was served (and drank) orange juice that tasted like it had champagne in it. We saw the bartender, manager, hostess, and server all sipping it and making faces, then examining the bottle. The waitress brought a fresh OJ but initially didn't provide any information about what my daughter had drank. When I asked, she said it was fermented OJ-- but the manager later told us it was just grapefruit juice (it may have been fermented, it clearly was not grapefruit juice). The cherry on top, though, was that the restaurant had the audacity to charge us for the adulterated/spoiled drink There were other issues as well- they didn't acknowledge that it was a birthday dinner, though we noted that on the reservation, did not have bread or pasta (though it was on the Kiki menu), and the ambiance just was not on par with the $500 we paid for the meal. The waitress was friendly and attentive, and some of the dishes were very good, which is why I didn't leave one star- but a child should not be served spoiled orange juice with no attempt by the restaurant to make it right.

Pricey restaurant with a casual vibe--definitely no need to dress up if you don't want to. I came for late afternoon dinner with my almost-3-year-old. She had to order a Keiki meal --$18, so not cheap. But you get an appetizer of quesadilla and celery and carrot dip before your main course (we ordered the hibachi salmon which was cooked the perfect amount--not overcooked but also not undercooked for the kiddo). And then you get a vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles, which my daughter was very very excited about. I ordered the misoyaki butterfish and the fish itself was excellent. So tender and melts in your mouth. The accoutrements were good but not impressive. For the price, I would expect more fine dining plating and finely prepared sides. Service was great. Overall it was good, but I'm not super amazed by it considering the $$$ prices.

My expectations were truly met when we came here for dinner. We'd never been here in the past because I thought it might be too expensive. Well I'm older now with more disposable income so why not. The restaurant shares the building with the golf course club. I appreciated the free parking. The restaurant is very spacious, clean, and modern inside. The server Michael from Florida was super friendly. My wife liked her Chablis wine and my Hawaiian margarita was very refreshing. The ahi tuna and Caesar salad were excellent appetizers. My wife didn't love her Au fish. My son and I ate up the blackened red snapper which was perfectly prepared. Oh and the complimentary mango and coconut sorbet dessert was the perfect ending to a lovely dinner experience.

Roy's does not fail. A local host walked us to our reserved table and provided us menus and place my napkin on my lap. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I really appreciated the view overlooking the golf course and the openness inside the restaurant. The food was delicious. I had calamari and the Asian chicken salad with the Cooler and a cab sab.

I've tried a lot of dishes here, but the braised short rib one of my favorites . It's rich, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and exactly the kind of comfort food that still feels elevated. It's the dish I recommend without hesitation when friends or guests ask where to go. The vibe at Roy's is warm and welcoming, and the service always feels dialed in without being over the top. They know how to take care of people--and that's something I notice immediately, coming from the industry myself. I always finish the meal with their signature chocolate soufflé. It's simple, classic, and never disappoints. Rich enough to satisfy, light enough that you don't regret it. Roy's isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They just focus on doing things right--great food, great service, and an experience that keeps people coming back. That's what makes it one of my go-to spots on the west side.

Haven't been here in ages but parents are in town and someone recommended to them. They were one of the few places that still had reservations for Friday so it worked out. Food was good, dad and I had the mahi and mom had the meatloaf. We shared the chocolate ganache for dessert. Restaurant is very open so you will hear those around you. Feels like it would be a good spot for a large gathering. Everyone was friendly and helpful from the hostess to the waitress to the food servers.

We usually love Roy's having been to several locations over the years. My wife still Loved the food. Her butterfish was excellent. I had the spare rib app which was good but not excellent as we were used to I had the steak and mashed potatoes It was ok. I was disappointed with it. I thought the service was a little lacking. It felt like we were an afterthought.

You can never go wrong with Roy's, especially the Maui one! Located on the 18th hole of the Kanapali golf course, this is a great restaurant with an even better view. The complimentary edamame to start is always so addicting! I always enjoy the blackened ahi appetizer with the spicy mustard dipping sauce. The butterfish is what they are known for and is so good. The fish just falls off when you barely touch it. The macadamia crusted ono was also a table hit, as it was paired with a rosemary lobster bisque which was great. We asked to substitute our white rice for the garlic fried rice and highly recommend this. Now this location does not have the pineapple upside down cake but be sure to check out the ube cheesecake.

I am a huge fan of Roy's Restaurants, but this one is different. It doesn't have that same flare as the other restaurants, the menu is much more limited (no crab cakes, no chocolate soufflé, no pineapple upside down cake, no dim sum style canoe appetizer, etc. The misoyaki butterfish was very salty and the sauce just wasn't the same as the Original Roys.

My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary here. The food was amazing, our server Christine did everything to make this night really special. Thanks to our great friend Cherie who recommended that we come here years ago.

Our server Christian was fantastic, but seemed very busy with a lot of tables. Even the food runner seemed a little flustered being so busy. Calamari and seared ahi were fantastic. My filet was very good. My wife's fish was just OK. She had the butterfish. The decor is very outdated. Felt like I was in a hospital dining room from the early 90s. I'm from vegas and we used to have 2 Roy's that were excellent. Miss them.

Everything we ordered was excellent. Service was good also which made for a nice dining experience. It's more of a laid back, casual ambiance but nice being on a lovely golf course. Happy we ended our trip to Maui eating here. Mac Nut mahi mahi was amazing! Can't wait to return next time we're here!

Not what it used to be. Needs a complete remodel ~ for $$$$ you get very dated decor & furniture, no Hawaiian vibe, nothing upscale. A few tables overlooking the golf course. Too expensive for standard entrees. Tiny portions. Nothing creative. Left unsatisfied for taste & belly. Service ~ cordial but no hospitality energy to excite our group to dine. Highlight ~ seeing old pro golfer photos on the wall that have visited in the past.

Right on the golf course in Kaanapali! Very similar menu to other local restaurants. High end vibe inside. The server was kind but not very attentive or personable. It was absolutely freezing inside which made it hard to enjoy. The food was good - not a miss but also nothing we were super wowed by. I got the short rib and I would give that 5 stars if I could! Quote pricey, could probably skip next time.

We went to Roy's to celebrate our 45th anniversary last night. We had gone maybe 10 years ago and remembered it fondly. Had a nice table seated right away. Service was good but not exemplary. When an expediter serves a party of two they should know who gets what. Also they didn't acknowledge our anniversary with a dessert or verbal congratulation. Our dishes were amazing. Hubby got Cioppino and I got the butterfish.

This was one of my favorite restaurants. I am so disappointed. I will likely never return. We ordered drinks. My partner ordered an old fashion. It came with a maraschino cherry. I understand that Luxardo cherries are expensive, but if you are going to offer old fashion on your menu you should do it right. The ambiance in the restaurant felt like Denny's. Gone are the low lights, now it is bright and cheap feeling. We were celebrating a birthday. They brought a bowl of ice cream. In the past when I came for an anniversary dinner they brought a piece of cake with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate. It is the little things along with the big things that make a restaurant special. Sadly, I think Roy's is no longer special. I will say that the waitress was great! I do t remember her name.

We usually eat at Roy's Waikiki so we decided to try this location since we were in the area. I got a reservation the same night which was great. We arrive a little early and the place didn't appear very busy. The food was good but the wait time in between courses were long. My husband and I got the Prixe Fixe menu and our kids got the chicken tenders and butter pasta. Our kids always enjoy their appetizer of cheese quesadillas, veggie sticks, and grapes. I noticed around us, there were 3 other tables of also waiting for their food. All of our meals for our tables came out at the same time. The blackened ahi caesar salad was delicious. I should've just gotten that as an entree because I loved it so much. The entree consisted of tiger shrimp (2), braised short rib, and Yukon gold potatoes. The meal was good but because we waited quite a while for it to come out, the crispy calamari appetizer tamed our appetite so I was forcing myself to finish my potatoes. Overall the food was ok. The service was ok. The ambiance is not the same as Roy's Waikiki, Roy's Ko Olina, and Roy's Hawaii Kai. It felt more casual.

Roy's has long been one of our family favorites. We have been to the restaurants in La Jolla, Carmel, Las Vegas and Kaanapali. This recent experience (Febrary 10) was not up to par. We made reservations thinking it would be hard to get a table, but there were very few diners. Only the tables on the perimeter of the room were occupied. The food was good, not great. Biggest disappointment of all was the chocolate souffle. It was available, but only cold. The server explained that they have less staff in the kitchen and are unable to prepare it hot, however it is the same recipe, she reassured us it would taste the same. Nope.

Been wanting to try this place for many years. Finally did and it was delicious! Got the spring pre fixe meal. Probably the best Caesar salad I've had in a very long time. Had the braised short rib and chocolate ganache cake. All delicious! Beautiful views of the golf course and excellent service!

We had lunch after playing 9 holes of golf and had a delicious meal. I ordered the short ribs (tender & flavorful), my husband ordered the day's catch and said it was INCREDIBLY well prepared and perfectly balanced. My son had the kids pasta and he actually finished most of it. I tried it for good measure and thought it was very tasty -- for a kids meal. We also shared a chocolate mousse for dessert, because why not?! Overall the food gets a 10/10 and the location is super convenient. I don't know why people are complaining about the decor, I think it has a cool retro vibe. The servers were also fantastic, and no detail was missed. I Also noticed that people were complaining about the cost, which is understandable since times are tough for many, but I don't believe it's fair to negatively judge a restaurant solely on how they price the food. I think they source high quality ingredients and you can taste the difference. IMO, if you have the opportunity to enjoy one delicious meal while you're in Ka'anapali, you should have this place on the list.

The food shines at this establishment...however, what lacks is the environment. Money from the high cost of the drinks/meals needs to be reinvested into the building. This place is extremely outdated. If you are looking for fine dining in a nice establishment-this location has more of the feeling "1970's prom in a gymnasium". Sadly, Applebees has a nice interior than Roy's....that should sum up the price in comparison to the location.

My family and I visited Maui for 8 days and ate at many different restaurants. Roys was hands down the best meal I had. The appetizer, main course and dessert were all absolutely delicious, will definitely return without hesitation.

Roy's Kaanapali is a five-star gem! As I was wowed by the upscale yet relaxed vibe overlooking the golf course. The staff was welcoming, and service was impeccable. I started with flavorful Szechuan pork ribs, followed by the Misoyaki Butterfish--melt-in-your-mouth perfection paired with Roy's Cabernet. Dessert, the Melting Dark Chocolate Soufflé with raspberry coulis, was divine. Chef Roy Yamaguchi's Hawaiian fusion shines with fresh ingredients and stunning presentation. Though pricey, it's worth it for a special night. Roy's Kaanapali is a Maui must-visit! Can't wait to return!

I thought this was a nice fancy place, esp with the prices, but the first thing you see when you walk in is an island bar with a TV on both sides (one was playing sports, the other playing Simpson's), which is an instant mood/vibe-killer for me because I felt like I was at a sports bar. In terms of dress code - people were dressed up nicely for this place, so it overall felt like a fancy sports bar. The food itself was ok. The coconut shrimp and blackened ahi were great. The misoyaki butterfish was way too salty and sitting in a bath of soy vinaigrette. The beef short ribs was just two chunks of meat, no bone/rib (I personally like having the meat still on the rib bone). Looking at the menu now, I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave us the "boneless braised short rib" from the kids menu.

This was my first stop on my Lahaina vacation, as Roy's was near my hotel! They have a very beautiful sunset view. When I dine I like to ask waitstaff their favorite foods. Both the hostess and my waitperson said the Misoyaki Butterfish was their favorite. When I tell you that fish melted the second it hit my mouth. WOW. The miso flavor is offset by a bit of caremelly sweetness that doesn't overpower the light fish. It was so, so goood! I also must highlight the ahi tuna in butter sauce. It was fresh, some of my favorite ahi I've had here so far, actually. But the butter sauce is flavorful and delicious, all while enhancing the ahi. Thanks for my first meal in Maui, Roy's!

Rudest lady front hostess. We were there for a golf outing. She was not attending her desk then treated us like garbage cause we walked in and casually sat down with our friends who were already dining. She does great at making anyone believe that Roy's Kaanapali is not what Mr Yamaguchi wanted it be - but instead a county course burger and wing joint. What a pity.

We went to Roy's as the one splurge meal we were having on our Maui vacation. The food was very good. The ambience was underwhelming. We have been to the Roy's in San Diego which felt so much more upscale. We had a cocktail and a craft beer that were good. The edemame was complimentary and was well seasoned. We had the crispy calamari and ahi tuna appetizers which were both above average in terms of flavor, presentation and textures. We shared the 12 ounce ribeye entree. For only an up charge of $3, we had two plates with a good amount of mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium) and the sides were tasty. I did clean up my plate. It was a very good experience but not a great one for our one expensive meal in over a week.

The Roy's restaurant franchise/chain is my favorite restaurants to visit whenever I visit Hawaii. Find reservations online is challenging so staying nearby I physically visit to make restaurant. On the occasion, Junior took care of me. He made my restaurant and later greeted me when I arrive for my restaurant. Nice personal touch. My wait person made recommendations per my request but opt for my favorite dish, braised short rib. I must admit I was sticker shock . It's been a few years since my last visit and the price had gone up significantly. But I went for it and hope to have space for dessert. A reoccurring thing to have sweets to conclude my meal. There were two honey mustard glazed short ribs with steamed vegetables and three cheese potato gratin. The latter I truly enjoyed and would love more. The star of the plate was savored and ate only one piece to save space for dessert. Always the honey mustard glaze was outstanding. Next the dessert, chocolate toffee mousse cake. Again, my waiter had other suggestions. If you like chocolate, this is it. Overall, I very pleasant and nice paced meal.

Located on a golf course with great views of the sunset. Food style is more old school but well done. The potatoes with the short rib is buttery and crisp. Friendly service, fun twirling of spoons. Kid friendly with crayons provided

My wife and I were excited to go to Roy's. When we got there for lunch, there was only us and a table of eight that came over from the golf course. The waitress was friendly, but not very efficient. Our food sat under the heat lamps for a good period of time. We could see the food but had to ask the waitress to go check on it. For a Restaurant that is so highly thought of, the food just wasn't that good and the service was worse. We live in Kula, which is a good drive to Kanapali looking forward to a real treat for lunch. Disappointing and not a restaurant we would return to.

A very nice, old-school-country-clubby restaurant. Our server was terrific, told us about various dishes and drinks. We asked who Roy was and he gave us some history of the restaurants he's created in the last few decades. Food and drinks were consistently great. Was surprised when the bill was less than I was expecting, being used to LA prices. Recommended.

Maui is in our thoughts and hope everyone is safe from the fires. Maui no ka oi = Maui is the best. 2/13/23 Updated with pictures!! Took 8+ months, but I was finally able to download my pics from the "cloud". 5/31/22 *See SF Japantown Yelp - pictures to be uploaded if I can recover. My daughter's favorite brand, she has so so many positive memories with this brand - Her favorite location (before it closed ) was in Las Vegas; yeah I know, different ownership as well. Although I am NOT an Oahu guy, my favorite Roy's is in Waikiki beach, sipping pineapple martinis at the bar on the beach, need I say more? Quality/Quantity - Good. Complimentary Edamame - So good. Great flavor. We wanted another bowl but our food came out fast! My daughter got the Lava Flow - she actually finished it on her own, LOL. It was very light. Meatloaf - I am NOT a meatloaf person, but this was good! Also loved the onion rings on top. My daughter loved the rainbow carrots, see pictures. Macadamia Nut Crusted Au - Really enjoyed the sauces on this plate. The fish is very soft and a different texture than most fish I normally eat. Jade Pesto Steamed Mahimahi - My daughter just wanted the udon. $65 for udon, what can I say... Cheesecake - Lilikoi. I think we are just ordering everything lilikoi at this point... Complimentary Panna Cotta - As we were celebrating a special event. Yelp check in = free Lava Cake; Melting Dark Chocolate Souffle - Always good. This was the favorite out of all desserts. They also offer prefix dinners (4-5pm)... Or should you call this the early bird special? Happy hour from 2-3pm. Atmosphere - I am glad that you kept the very spacious table settings. This location was always spaced well, but now I feel we have the whole place to ourself. Open kitchen, kind of. On the golf course, so it is so convenient if you are a golfer. Sadly the sun was right at the windows, so the shades had to be drawn covering the beautiful view and not being able to watch the golfers finish their round since the restaurant is located on the 18th hole. Plenty of free self parking. Service - Good. Price - $175 + tip

Service was fantastic! Food was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the butterfish and the sauce was heavy soy based but the fish was delicious. The sides were plain steamed rice and bokchoy. My guy ordered the short ribs which were fabulous! He cleaned his plate!

June 2024... My husband and his dear friend ordered Calamari... They both got very intense food poisoning. Both men had to seek medical attention and take RX drugs to get well. That took just over a week. We called Roy's immediately and were told they had not had any issues like that. One week plus, 2 men terribly sick, and ruined our Maui vacation. Took antibiotics by mouth and received IV treatment for 2 days and returned slowly to normal. The women didn't eat any seafood at Roy's Kaanapali and did not get sick. Heartless to not even want to know, so they could throw out the food which caused the illness. Didn't want a phone number to have a manager call us to discuss the horrible and traumatic illness that both men endured. Very sad as we have always enjoyed Roy's.

From the moment we sat down, our waiter was fantastic. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the various items on the menu but still, even recommending his favorite. I ordered a mocktail which was refreshing and possibly one of the best I've had. My partner doesn't like fish which given it's Hawaii, he's been limited to some variation of steak. They had meatloaf which tasted like "comfort" according to him. I ordered the butterfish which was also comfort food yet light. The price point some have complained about highly varies depending on where you live. I believe it is similar to other Hawaii possibly slightly higher but not by much. We come from LA so for us it isn't a difference so mileage may vary. The atmosphere is calm and a nice contrast to the busy area near the resorts. Overall I'd recommend!

Food was delicious Service was nice but a little slow, probably understaffed due to Christmas Day Had a view of golf course, but was quickly blocked by shades. Overall not as impressive as other Roy's I've been too.

I told them we were there celebrating an anniversary and they didn't acknowledge it in any way. Why ask in the reservation? They were out of the filet mignon and didn't tell us until after we ordered drinks. That was what everyone was planning on ordering so that was inconvenient. The ribeye for one of our party members was overcooked. They offered a new one, but waiting again for one person would have meant the rest of the food would be cold. It felt like the waitress abandoned our table. For an empty restaurant, it was weird. The atmosphere here felt like a buffet room/cafeteria. It feels like there isn't AC inside. It doesn't feel like what you're paying for.

Wow!! The food is amazing. The blackened Island Ahi was one of the best things I have ever eaten. We had the Mahi-mahi as a main course and it was delicious. Cindy our server was delightful and provided exceptional recommendations

Please remodel this place. It's still stuck in the 80s to the point where I don't care how good the food is ... I didn't even want to sit in there and spend that type of money when the atmosphere is so desperately lacking.

Roy's is at the golf club in Kaanapali so it really is not an easy find which made it more fun to track down and enjoy. The meatloaf was something I had heard was good... it was actually amazing and a high recommend! We had a Malbec to compliment our food which was a good recommend by our waiter.

Thank you Roy's for making dinner tonight! I seriously had so much fun on our girls night out. Speaking of which, this was also my first time dining at this location so thank you for making it a delicious one to remember. Even my boyfriend is drooling over all the pictures & is wanting to experience the deliciousness for himself. So I'll definitely be back & I'm excited to try some other items I didn't have room for this time. Also kudos to our server & bartender, thanks for participating in my mini photo shoot. Xoxo, ChelsieFletcher

We've been to Hawaii seven times. Been to Roy's on every visit. Even went to Roy's many years ago on an anniversary when we had one in Austin. Hands down, tonight was the worst experience. Awful. My wife hates seafood but I drag her to Roy's every visit because the butterfish is by far my favorite seafood dish. Well, it *was*. What I got tonight was NOTHING like what I've been served in the past. Tonight we also ordered the potatoes gratin for the first time. Really liked those. Waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Wife got the ribs (very dry) from the appetizer menu (gratin was her side). For two mai tais, one beer, one salad, a rib appetizer, the gratin and my butterfish our bill was almost $200 after tip. We've been here almost two weeks. Started at the Four Seasons for a week. Spent a night the night in Hana at the Hyatt. Moved on to the Westin Resort for several nights, before extending our trip for a week at the condo we currently inhabit. We've had maitais everywhere on this island (Spago, Duo, Maui Brewing, Monkeypod, first class flight on Hawaiian airlines, Leilani's, etc), including Joey's on the way to Roy's which, sorry Joey, looks like kind of a dive-- Joey's have been the best and Roy's the worst. Hands down on both fronts. Roy's Ka'anapali looks like a Pizza Hut turned into a Lion's Club banquet hall, the menus were black ink laser printed on white paper, there's no decor to absorb the diner chatter, baby crying and other noise so it's really loud. Roy's has fallen mightily from what it once was. For $$$ the value is absolutely subpar. Looking forward to Joey's this weekend.

Reservations were made months ago for our wedding anniversary. We were escorted to the north 40 the very last table in the very last corner facing the emergency exit. There was no music or ambience. We passed by five beautiful tables On the rail. We were brought back to Christina's section I believe they just needed to fill her section. I spoke to the hostess and the waitress and eventually we were offered a table which was literally one table over from the overflow section but still in Christina's section. Christina was very nice and knew what she was doing however no attention was given towards our long-standing reservation and special occasion. Calamari was excellent. Caesar salad was overdressed. The recommended macadamia nut red snapper was beyond marginal. Over cooked in old oil and the macadamia nuts were indiscernible. They took these entrées off of our bill. however our experience at Roy's was so poor we will never go back again. We have owned a place in Lahaina for 25 years. And I am writing as a career food server.

Great menu, great food. We go every Valentine's Day. Atmosphere and location are awesome.

Very disappointed. Very bright and unappealing. Felt like a hotel banquet room. Food was just ok. Used to be amazing. What happened?? We started with saffron shrimp and pork ribs (used to be one of our favorites) and they were both flavorless and just not very good. We ended up leaving and cancelling our dinner entre's. Lights were so bright and decor super stale..out of the 70's or 80's.. server was ok but not super welcoming or happy to be there. Very sad one of our favorite places has declined so much

We wanted to sit at the bar and order pupus and drinks. However, due to a labor shortage, there is no seats at the bar. We did manage to snag a walk in table for 2. I wish the calamari was the rings and tentacles. Instead it was the frozen food service battered ones with a lot of sauce. The ribs were good and so were the drinks. I also liked the soufflé. This used to be a favorite place to go for me. Unfortunately, this time we were disappointed.

Enjoyed dinner at Roys! We enjoyed the misoyaki butterfish, very good. Disappointed that Roy's didn't have a pastry chef on site and didn't serve the chocolate soufflé but they are so well known for. We had the chocolate cake which was good.
