The Royale Room

The menu is pretty small, I had the steak frites and the jumbo shrimp cocktail. The steak was good and cooked well, but didn’t stand out. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail lived up to their jumbo name, but I didn’t particularly like either of the sauces it came with.

Wow - was really impressed with my first visit to Royale Room! The salmon belly tartare was excellent, as was the huge 8oz burger. Steak frites was cooker perfectly and even the gem lettuce salad was great with a super tasty vinaigrette. Excited to get to try more of the menu on my next trip!

Met up with my girlfriend at the bar and from there it was very nice! The bartender Mark was great! Every suggestion he had added to the experience! The spot is very intimate but the music has no rhyme or reason! It took away from the atmosphere! But overall, the food, the drinks, and the service was amazing! Thanks Mark!

They have a very limited menu. The oysters were fresh and good. The salmon belly tartare missed the mark, it was too cold and didn’t have much flavor, something tasted off. The burger was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning and had so much raw onions, the fries were crispy!

Edit: 3 months later I am disappointed. Changed review from 5 star to 2. Seems a lot has changed from the initial polish. We had to send back plates due to old product and poor taste. Quality of product has changed and the staff were not the same level of service as we enjoyed last time. Dirty Martini described as coming with a blue cheese olive. Both times with a small green olive from a jar. Will not be returning sadly. What a bummer. Original: This place is already such a gem and no they didn't ask me to leave a review. What a great date night, Friday night cocktail and dinner or romantic lounge spot. Had a fantastic Manhattan and whiskey sour (ask for egg white) and about half the menu and everything was cooked perfectly and served at temp. Lived in this city close to 10 years and am finally happy to have found a spot like this. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Good drinks and great service! Marc with a C did a fantastic job! First time there and he made us feel at home away from home!

Such a happy experience! It was so cozy and classy.. oysters were amazing and if I could have ordered a million I would have. Steak was 10/10. Honestly, so thankful to Carter for helping me navigate the drink menu and introducing me to new cocktails that I would have never tried and that were all great. He was so knowledgeable. It was honestly the happiest night!

I had an incredible time at Royale Room! The martinis were fantastic—perfectly crafted and smooth, easily some of the best I’ve had. Watching the staff shuck fresh oysters right at the bar added a unique, fun touch to the experience. The whole place has such a cool vibe. Relaxed yet sophisticated, making it a great spot for a night out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great drinks and vibey atmosphere.

Came here for a small birthday tini&oysters happy hour on Wednesday. Overall, it was great! A range of attire and amazing music from a DJ that was at the exact noise level of poppin' but not too loud that I couldn't yap across the table. This place had some notable details that I want to highlight: - Valet is discounted - The espresso martini is cold brew based and going through the hotel entrance before dinner can snag you a free one at the front - There were different oyster types and they were both so good! It came with 4 different toppings and the tangy Asian one and the green herbaceous one were my favorite. At $2 a pop, it was a good happy hour choice to get some fancy vitamins and higher quality than some $1 grocery store picks. - I've seen another review talking about only one server for the whole restaurant. Although I agree that they were understaffed, our server Carter went ABOVE and BEYOND a normal server would. He would recommend different drinks based off what we liked, ensured a nice birthday treat, and also would let us know when there was a rush in case we wanted to place another order before we don't hear from him for a while. I didn't feel rushed and had a great time due to how well the service was. I would 100% come again if I had Carter assigned to my table. - Pretty much every martini was great, but only the house martini was the happy hour offering. Some are much stronger than others. I loved this place and hope to come back with even more people!

We tried the Royale Room for dinner tonight during happy hour & it was okay. The restaurant was kind of like a club due to the music blaring, I was not expecting that walking into it but it really was extremely loud. There weren't many tables (maybe 9) so be sure to get a reservation! There was a lot of bar seating, but it filled up quickly. The oysters, crab cake, chicken tenders & espresso martini were all really good! The only problem was that the restaurant only had 1 server for the whole place, so that server had about 9 tables at once. He was very friendly and apologetic, but he was simply over worked. We waited a long time to order, and even longer for our drinks and food to arrive. When our oysters came they forgot the crackers, and we waited on them for about 15 minutes - I noticed the table next to us also didn't get crackers with their oysters and they waited even longer than we did to ask for some, but ended up not even getting them because it took too long for someone to come and check on their table. This place would be a good stop to just grab a martini on a night out! But as for tonight's dinner - overall the food was good, but I wouldn't recommend unless you have ample time to eat with no where to be, & you don't mind the club volume music while you eat. Unfortunately those 2 things made for an unenjoyable dinner experience.

Amazing crab cake appetizer, seared perfect and no filler whatsoever. Very tasty lumps of crab meat. Awesome flavor. Then had the steak and frittes. Meat was warm to cool temps, but fries were screaming hot. So kind of confused since this was to be a high end steak served. Flavors were good on the steak but with service temp being what it was, it was lacking. Also, fry grease but very slightly since fires tasted very greasy. So that item was a bust. What I can say is that service was amazing, bartender Kathryn was on it. She made good drinks, always attentive to our needs and very friendly. Between the crab cake quality and Ms Kathryn's service - this place has the five star rating, main course meal was weak and not there.

The royale room is such a perfect place for a cocktail and especially during happy hour. The place is just So pretty and sophisticated. It is part of the hotel the Thompson. Great drinks, good vibes and happy hour! The service is quick and it was not packed which I appreciated. I was able to sit at the bar and people watch. Did I mention the open the oysters right there at the bar ? Well they do. The oyster bar areas is beyond.

The most exquisite espresso martini and steak frites. Chicken tenders are always a win too!

The drinks were delish and the service was very good. Loved our super friendly, nice server. The food was good but depended on what you ordered - I loved my salmon sandwich but my colleagues weren't so impressed.

The food, service, and ambiance of as amazing!! Chloe and Carter are some of the best servers I've ever had! Derek and Kat at the bar were very quick with my drinks. The manger Blake was super sweet and took care of everything. Definitely recommend coming here again!!
