This hotel is attached and promoted by the Marriott Marina SD and was extremely disapointing so I wished I had researched it before. It was a nice atmosphere, good people watching but very mediocre food. Two of us ate there, our starters were okay (mine was too large) but main course tasteless. Would not bother again in SD especially with... more

We visit alot of Roy's all throughout the US. Heck, our wedding reception was at Roy's of Pebble Beach... This one has a great view but awful parking. They will validate the little bit of parking that is avalible from the hotel, for $8 instead of $10... Gee, thanks for nothing. But the staff was considerate of our needs, since... more

Conveniently located at the Marriot Marina and Hotel where I stayed for a conference. Lovely twinkling lights after dark. We all ordered the Hawaiian style mixed plates as our entrees. A tenderloin with shrimp and Dungeness crab. A mixed fish plate,-the blackened salmon and the butterfish to die for. The best we agreed on the "wow" scale was the shrimp... more

Roy's is pretty good. The only other nicer Hawaiian Fusion place in San Diego is Bali-Hai, and Roy's is 10x better than Bali-Hai. The menu is innovative. more

After our recent trip to Hawaii, my boyfriend and I were craving some Hawaiian cuisine. We headed to Roy's because we had heard some rave reviews. In comparison to Alan Wong's in Honolulu (go there--the food is amazing. ---------------------------), we were highly disappointed. The recommended appetizer of steak sushi (yes, it was MEAT in a sushi roll alongside fish...can't remember... more
