" I thought I’d give Roy another chance after a mediocre previous visit, but I still left disappointed. While the vibe is nice, the service was slow, and the food simply didn’t impress. I tried the lasagna, which was surprisingly bland. I’ll be looking for better dining options in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Roy was quite the experience. The ambiance was charming, and the pasta was extraordinary. However, I did experience a long wait time for my food, which was a letdown. The waiter was helpful, but they could definitely need more hands on deck for busier nights. Overall, I'll still recommend it, but I hope for faster service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite a few hiccups during our visit, I ultimately enjoyed our meal at Roy. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented. Even though the service was a bit slow, the staff was very pleasant and worked hard to keep our experience enjoyable. I'll consider returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm actually a fan of Roy's quirky ambiance! The decor feels artistic, full of local artwork. I had the meatball dish, and while it tasted good, the portion was smaller than expected. It was surprisingly busy for a weeknight. Overall, a solid experience, though I hope they can work on the portion sizes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable evening at Roy! I particularly liked the variety of dishes on the menu, which feature lively flavors. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. The only downside was that our order took longer than expected. I recommend the crab cakes—they're phenomenal! I’m willing to come back again for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Roy is a gem! I went there for brunch and ordered a lovely frittata that was packed with fresh ingredients. The service was pleasant and quick, making it a nice leisurely meal on a Sunday. The ambiance was cozy, making it feel like home. I highly suggest everyone try this wonderful place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Roy is always a pleasure. The atmosphere is cozy, and the decor is artistic—definitely different from your typical restaurant. My favorite dish is the baked ziti, which is both filling and delicious. Though the wait time can vary, the staff remains attentive and friendly throughout the dining experience.
