Tonight join us at Roy's:

"“Close your eyes and you’ll think you’re in Hawaii” enjoying “a fantastic meal” of “innovative” “upscale” regional cuisine at this River North outpost of “one of the best high-end chains out there”, where “beautifully presented” “signature dishes” featuring a “unique assortment” of “extremely fresh seafood” are enhanced by an “interesting and good-value wine list” and a “fun cocktail menu”; veterans of the Honolulu original, however, lament “like all branch restaurants with nonresident chefs, the food suffers from the separation.”" - Zagat.com

"Dramatic views and dark décor set the stage for dishes like misoyaki butterfish and yellowfin tuna poke, while a good selection of wines and saké encourages experimentation. Roy's restaurant is tabbed as Euro-Asian, but frankly it is more contemporary American laced with Asian influences. That being noted, the menu, which dips deliciously into fish (note we did not say seafood), is creative and offers a nice range of notably enjoyable dishes. For fun, try the dim sum-style canoe appetizer with five tastes of Roy's specialties, or go for the silky-spicy blackened ahi with soy-mustard butter. Seared halibut and the mixed plate (grouper and short ribs) are both sure bets for entrées, but we also like the roasted macadamia nut-crusted mahi with caloric lobster-butter sauce. The hot chocolate oufflé is really a flourless chocolate cake with molten center and softens up to the vanilla ice cream accompaniment. The bar area at the front of the restaurant has become a hot spot to meet after work. There's an extensive wine list and wines by the glass." - Gayot.com
