“Great for Romantic Special Occasions”

My wife traveled to Tampa for our anniversary. We chose Roys for our anniversary dinner from the ratings on TripAdvisor. We were thoroughly pleased with our choice. It's a beautiful building, the ambiance is very nice, upscale and trendy. The service was friendly and as good as we expected. The food was great, be both had the butterfish (black cod) and it was like butter. My wife had a glass of champagne and I had a bottle of sake, 2 orders of sushi (excellent) and their specialty dessert (chocolate soufflé) our bill was $111. I recommend Roys for any special occasion in the Tampa area.

“Expectations”

Roy's Restaurant

Coming from Philadelphia I have experienced some of the best food you can find. I dined at the location there several times and had the same expectations for the Tampa location. I came to find that the "Chain" label they are given is much undeserved. Completely different scene and style. The chef is fresh from the Philadelphia location but it is not at all evident. At first I was a bit disappointed in the volume of business and wait. I then realized that unlike in Philadelphia this location is the place to be, and they have earned that reputation. Once seated our server came over. He didn't go about it as we're used to, instead he asked what we like, then made selections based on our likes rather than suggesting dishes blindly. Everything from the Hawaaiian Martini, then the appetizers, entrees, and that Hot Chocolate Souffle was stunning. There are a ton of seafood restaurants in the area but it's quite obvious that the chef goes to extra lengths to make sure his quality is unrivaled. The managing partner was a really cool guy to talk to and actually took some time to talk to us on a really busy night. The chef even came into the dining room and talked to everyone about their food. I will admit the service is better than up north, but Roy's service is outstanding. Strong recommendation. If possible ask for Tony, he is the most knowledgable server I've ever had.

Went to Roy's the first night during a visit to Tampa...liked it so much went back again the next night.
Food was excellent, very high quality, expertly served.
Try the prix fixe menu, you get your choice of an appetizer,entree and dessert for a reasonable price. And save room for the chocolate souffle....

I have lived in tampa for 3 years and ever since i found out there was a roy's restaurant here, me and my family have been going at least once every two months. the food is delicious and the presentation is awesome, the service is good. price is justified by the food quality and taste, for a group of 5 w/o wine $400 if you want wine which is the best way to go up to $520 one person meal $85. if you haven't you should visit roy's
