🍽️ Big Island Dining Gem | Roy's Waikoloa Bar & Grill

While Big Island's dining scene isn't vast, Roy's stands out with concentrated flavors and solid quality! 🌺✨ The restaurant boasts sophisticated ambiance with upper-midscale vibes. 🍷🌴 ➡️ Starters: Our anchovy & lettuce salad 🥬 featured fresh greens and salty fish slices - super creamy texture (loved it!), though portion was petite. 😋 ➡️ Mains: 🌟 Misoyaki Butterfish - MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH tender! 🐟💥 Paired perfectly with sweet purple rice (balances the rich sauce) + soft greens. 🌟 Short Rib Combo - Juicy beef + shrimp 🍤 + roasted carrots. Solid choice! ➡️ Dessert: The famous chocolate soufflé 🍫 was too sweet (even with vegan-ish vanilla ice cream). 🍨 ⚠️ Downsides: • Slow service (overworked staff) ⏳ • Long wait times ⌛ • ~$90 per person 💸 Verdict: Great flavors, but needs better pacing. #FoodieHeaven #HawaiiEats #FineDining #RoyWaikoloa #BigIslandBites
