" I’m not usually one to write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience at Roy. The atmosphere was quaint and charming upon stepping inside. I opted for the steak special, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy and tender! The garlic mashed potatoes were a delectable accompaniment. The service was excellent—our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll definitely return for another round of Roy's amazing cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! Finally, a place that respects the ingredients! The crab cakes were some of the best I have ever had, so full of flavor. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I'll be back soon, and I encourage anyone looking for authentic cuisine to check out Roy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Roy holds a special place in my heart! The ambiance is always welcoming, and they provide an impressive selection of wines. I highly recommend their homemade pasta; it transports you straight to Italy! The staff is prompt and polite, making dining here a relaxing experience. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Roy offers some excellent food as well as a cozy atmosphere. However, during my last visit, I encountered issues with slow service, which put a damper on the overall experience. The food was still great when it finally arrived, but the long wait made it less enjoyable. I hope they can improve their efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I finally visited Roy with a few friends. The vibe was great, but sadly the food didn’t live up to the expectations. I had the seafood pasta, which was good but not fantastic. Service was fine but a bit slow, especially for a weeknight. I think I'll explore other options in town before coming back. Maybe I just hit them on an off night. " (*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.
