This was our second time coming to the Royce; the 1st was about 10 years ago. We had the charred octopus, Caesar salad, the Hamachi, a kids meal, and two steaks. The appetizers were incredible - chef clearly has a handle on sauces. The steaks were just OK. Certainly not the showstoppers they were 10 years ago. For the price paid, it was not worth it. The Prime New York was undercooked and bland, and the Wagyu Ribeye was very thin - esp disappointing considering it was $128.00. After delivering the food, the waiter didn’t check on us as he should’ve. Had he, we may have mentioned the issues with the meat. Probably why he didn’t come back. All that said, the inside of the restaurant is beautiful & I’m sure during the day it offers great views.
