    We live down the street and go there once or twice a month. The absolute best dish imho is the surf and turf (lobster). Service is good although they always seat us at the same table. I don’t know why and I haven’t asked yet…

    Creative well-prepared cocktails, excellent food which indicates great competence in the kitchen. Menu covers some very savory ground with lots of cuisine options from sushi to fish & chips with a great pub burger and more, most likely something for everyone. Will go again anytime we’re in central Kihei. Thumbs-up.

    We have dined at Roy's the last 3 years, each time it has been better than the last. Fish should be easy to prepare since it is on the menu a lot. We have had the Mahi Mahi, and butterfish and it could have been better, either overdone, or mushy. Very overdone, but this last visit we ordered scampi and the ono, superb!! We will be back.
