First, you must know that I love Roy's. Any time I travel and am near a Roy's, I go there for dinner (I've been to at least 8 and many of them more than once) - because every restaurant is so incredibly consistent and wonderful - until La Jolla. My husband, my 18-month-old daughter and I arrived at 5:30 without... more

Not a great experience at this Roy's. We were disappointed b/c we've always had a great experience at the Newport Beach location. First, the hostess placed a family with 4 kids (childrens b-day party)right next to us and that was the start. Who takes a 5 yr old and his friends to Roys for their B-Day? Roy's food is always... more
