- JjudyGoldNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLovely location with pond view with impeccable service and an outstanding meal that you would expect at a Roy’s. We had the Golden Hour/Sunset Menu which included a trip of appetizers (seared ahi, glazed ribs, spring rolls with amazing sauces), Roy’s famous miso butterfly/black cod with bok choy and black rice (very large portion), and flourless chocolate cake — all for $55. Absolutely incredible value and the best dining experience we’ve had on Kona. Highly recommended. (Pointer: this special menu is from 4:30-5:30 and you need to ask for the menu.)More infoRoy's Waikoloa Bar & Grill$$$$• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikoloa•4.6
