While I am kind of burned out on Roy's for dinner, I do highly recommend their outside patio bar at the Ko'Olina Golf Club. The views of the 18th Hole are fantastic, service is great and the drinks and pupu's are very affordable during their Aloha Hourz from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. This is the PERFECT place to hang out after a round of golf at Ko'Olina. Probably one of my favorite 19th holes in Hawaii. Our table had an incredible view of the 18th Hole. We watched golfers struggle with this tough Par 4 while enjoying cold beverages and some really good pupu's. We hit the place during the Aloha Hourz and found the prices and food to be great. The gals working here were great too. Very high level of service and attention which was very nice. Click links below to view post on Roy's Ko'Olina full dinner service:

Disappointed once again at Roy's Ko'Olina. Don't know why but the food here is always worse than Roy's Hawaii Kai or Waikiki. I am pretty much done with Roy's. What once was one of my favorite Hawaii restaurants has now become old, predictable and not as good as it used to be. The meal on this visit was probably the worst ever with disconnected dishes that totally were confusing and lacking the bold flavors Roy's was once known for.

ROY'S KO'OLINA

ROY'S KO'OLINA

KO'OLINA HAWAII

After massive amounts of appetizers at our friends Ko'Olina condo, we went across the street to Roy's which is part of the beautiful Ko'Olina Golf Club. The restaurant overlooks the 18th green and is adjacent to the Pro Shop. As always, the staff at Roy's was fantastic. Truly amazed how Roy keeps his service level so high at all his restaurants. We were seated at a great table overlooking the golf course just as the sun was setting in West Oahu. Complimentary Soy Beans and a Quesadilla were brought out immediately. I shared a Beet salad with my wife. There were not too many Beets on my plate. While the dressing was good, I thought this salad really missed the mark on presentation and flavor. For my entree, I tried the Filet Mignon. This was a beautiful cut of meat cooked to perfection medium rare. Only problem is that it had no taste. Totally under seasoned. Not really worth eating. The Risotto served with the Filet was hands down the best I have ever tasted. Rich, creamy and so delicious. I passed it around the table and everyone said it was the best. The Risotto saved my meal. My wife tried the Braised Wagyu Beef served with Shrimp and Scalloped Potatoes. She liked it. I tried a bite and preferred this beef over the Filet. Our friend had the Fresh Swordfish. This was a thick and meaty piece of fish. I took a bite and loved it. Tom was going all vegetarian so they prepared him a dish of fresh vegetables that he said was delicious. This was a wonderful meal with great friends and great service.
