    Butterfish and ahi tuna (half portion)
    Samantha Z.

    10/10 must sit on the patio during sunset! It was absolutely beautiful and an irreplaceable once in a lifetime experience. There's a nice outdoor bar area where you can get drinks and appetizers while waiting for your seat. Slow cooked pork belly : 20/10 must try! The crispy outside texture was perfect and the charcoal taste complemented the pork belly fat really well. Szechuan pork ribs: 7/10 Not bad, but the Szechuan flavor lacked and it tasted more like Sriracha. Half butterfish and half ahi tuna dish: 8/10 the sauces were PHENOMENAL!! I'm going to need to get their recipe for their fragrant herbaceous green sauce and the coconutty umami white sauce. The butterfish had a bit of lingering fishiness but the texture was nice with a carmelized crust and soft insides. The ahi tuna was to be expected. Watch out for the spicy wasabi brown sauce! Dark chocolate raspberry molten lava cake: 8/10 I love lava cakes and they gave us an extra cup of dark chocolate to pour on top. I wish the raspberry flavor tasted more natural though. Service: 100/10 everyone was fantastic and our server was incredibly hospitable and nice.

    If you already know Roy's, I probably don't have to say much. Upscale Hawaiian fusion with Asian influences and such a phenomenal food experience. The ambiance is chill, candle lit vibes. Plus, you're right near Pebble Beach! The staff was great and the food was outstanding. We ordered the coconut shrimp, spare ribs, butterfish, and filet mignon. Everything was cooked to perfection. Roy's is one of the best, so I'm mostly here to post the food pics LOL. Thank you, Roy's, for such a great experience. It almost felt like being back in Hawaii.

    FLAVOR (4/5): Octopus appetizer was one of the meatest ones I've ever had and it was very tender! The calamari was also decent but not as much to write home about compared to the octopus. The loco moco was a tad bit salty but I loved the fried egg aspect to the dish. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (5/5): Water front restaurant with great views! The food was presented so beautifully as well. Spacious and well kept. SERVICE (5/5): Very attentive service! Free valet parking with the hotel. TAKEAWAYS: If you come here to eat your entrance to 17 mile will be waived! Elevated hawaiian food, good vibes!

    Poke was phenomenal

    Presentation, food, flavors. We ordered miso soup, lobster, steak, short ribs, Misoyaki butterfish, swordfish, coconut shrimp, poke, sushi rolls, mai tai, pineapple martini, sparkling sake. Food very flavorful and done well, a truly unforgettable meal! I enjoyed every bite. The staff were very attentive and really made the dining experience.

    Took my wife here for our anniversary. Beautiful views, delicious food, great service. This was quite the highlight. HOT TIP: Make a reservation beforehand and they'll waive entrance fee to the 17 mile drive when you show your reservation . We made a reservation for lunch and opted for a 3 course meal. Take advantage of walking the beautiful scenery along the boardwalk. Lounge in the lobby of the Spanish Inn and have a drink. We'll definitely be back.

    Pork tenderloin
    Shruti J.

    Amazing place and views. Coming here just for the views is good enough however the food is top notch so you have to. We ordered multiple things and everything came out so good. Towards the end of dinner we had eaten so much that we could barely move . We ordered baby back ribs, octopus, spring rolls, butter fish, vegetables stir fry and pork tenderloin. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Our server was friendly and the service was fast. Drinks were good as well. Don't miss out their lava cake.

    Located in Spanish Bay at Pebble Beach, the views are incredible. You're looking out over the golf course with the ocean just beyond, and it feels upscale and peaceful. If you time it right, you can even catch the bagpiper at 5:30pm. I've been to other Roy's locations and always order the miso butterfish. This time, it was still good, but slightly off compared to what I'm used to. It had a faint fishiness that usually isn't there, so while I still enjoyed it, it didn't quite hit that usual top tier standard. We also ordered pasta for my son, which he devoured, and a steak that was solid and well prepared. Overall, the food was good, but not necessarily the highlight. The real standout was dessert. The chocolate lava cake was an absolute slam dunk. Just a heads up, it takes about 20 minutes to prepare, so ordering it midway through your meal is the move. Totally worth it. Service was excellent. Our waiter was polite and thoughtful, especially recommending we order the lava cake early, which saved us a long wait at the end. Parking is easy with plenty of self parking available, and after your meal you can walk around or head into 17 Mile Drive, which makes the whole outing feel like more than just dinner. One tip: try to get a reservation on the earlier side and request a window seat if possible. A lot of people come just to see the bagpiper, so being able to enjoy that from inside the restaurant is a nice bonus. Overall, you're coming here for the experience. The views, the atmosphere, and the setting make it hard to beat, especially around sunset.

    Mudslide dessert. Chocolate and Oreos ice cream cake.

    You can't beat this beautiful view from their outdoor dining area of the coast. The food was delicious. The ambiance was loud and expected with golfers getting dinner after their rounds on the courses.

    Tempura shrimp salad
    Heather M.

    We enjoyed lunch at Roy's. Great views and service! The drinks were also great- Pebbletini and MaiTai. The chicken Thai noodle bowl was ok. The chicken was overcooked a bit and it just had okay flavors. The beef bowl with veggies and glass noodles was great! Loved the flavors but again the meat was a bit overcooked. The star was the tempura shrimp salad. HUGE tempura shrimp perfectly cooked on a bed of greens dressed in a cilantro vinegarette

    Mango cheesecake
    Laura M.

    Our dinner was absolutely incredible! We were so sad when the Roy's by us closed so any time we are near another one we have to stop in. This one is exceptionally beautiful and the ambiance is breathtaking and lovely. Our service was impeccable and the food was beyond delicious! We ordered: sushi, sashimi, duck, filet minion and swordfish. We also had the lava cake and cheesecake for dessert and truly everything was delectable with a stunning presentation. This might be my favorite restaurant ever! Thank you for an amazing night, Roy's at Pebble Beach! We will be back for sure!! I was so busy eating I didn't take many pics until dessert but trust me this food is to die for!

    Aloha punch, zero proof
    Mike C.

    Long on my bookmark list, this restaurant is the only to my knowledge that's still owned by its founder that's on the mainland. Booking a Sunday brunch reservation in mid-September, we arrived a little early so we walked the back of the resort towards the beach and enjoyed the sights and sounds. When we returned and checked in at the hostess stand, we were seated at a long table past the hostess stand and near the window facing the beach. As we studied the menus, we saw a mix of our favorites from their flagship restaurant on Oahu as well as several different menu items. Since we were driving home after this meal, everyone abstained from alcohol but the non-alcohol beverages were interesting. I tried the Aloha punch (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=qHBaziiMBGkQXXnAoEswkQ), passionfruit-orange-guava puree, Sprite, orange juice, which was delicious. We each ordered entrees while adding several items to share. Here's what we had: Appetizers, shared: 1. Nori-wrapped scallop (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=7u_tMPwH80ITd6aGko8lvw) - Miso yuzu beurre blanc, saffron aioli, shiso pesto. Tasty and a great starter. 2. Shrimp tempura & salmon roll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=hgaHArXIAwIbPaJjQRVdZw) - Spicy maguro, avocado, sea salt, Sriracha aioli. Enjoyed this too. Main, shared 3. Big Island Loco Moco (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=xC904b9SWWc1FtfHD25L0w) - Fried egg, crispy onion, oyster mushroom sauce. This was a miss for me as the burger was cooked well done as the egg was also on the done side ( no runny yolk). Most importantly for me, the gravy was not memorable. Main 4. Roy's Bento Box, Japanese-style misoyaki butterfish (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=jt8Bswr7nobtfEM9w49v9w) - Furikaki rice, sashimi of the day, daily appetizer, salad, miso soup; the miso soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=YRQlvSSHEEnEykz1fINVIg) was a generous bowl and extremely tasty. The appetizer was fried fish for my meal which was just okay. The butterfish for the bento is grilled, more similar to the Oahu version but a step below flavor wise and in freshness. Two of our fellow diners ordered the meal version of the butterfish which is prepared differently, seemingly steamed and coming with a dashi broth. I would likely order that over the bento one when visiting again. Dessert, shared 5. "Melting Hot" Chocolate cake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=iuXdoxrXB2SjCZfRwV63ig) - Served hot from the oven with raspberry-vanilla swirl ice cream. This was delicious and there was no mistaking the cake was oozing and gooey with chocolate. Surprisingly, our party enjoyed this even more than the one at Hawaii Kai. The dining room was only about a third full, mostly couples enjoy the beautiful view of the beach and ocean, while many chose to dine outside with the beautiful late summer weather. Big thanks to Jesse who tended to our needs and offered menu suggestions. The gals at the hostess stand were very friendly in taking our group photos by the entrance. This was a great way to close our trip and glad to enjoy the view, atmosphere, and friendly service along with good food. Just temper your expectations if you're comparing it to the flagship in Hawaii Kai.

    Complimentary Desert

    A Spectacular Luncheon with Views to Match! We celebrated our 20th anniversary with a weekday lunch at Roy's at Pebble Beach, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Located at The Inn at Spanish Bay, this spot perfectly blends an upscale ambiance with the relaxed, warm spirit of Hawaiian-fusion hospitality. The Vibe & Service From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly. We were seated outside, and the views were breathtaking--you truly can't beat looking out over the Pacific Ocean and the lush golf course while you eat. The Food The Pacific Rim cuisine here is top-tier. Here is what we enjoyed: * Lakanilau Roll: This was a standout! The combination of seared domestic Wagyu, spicy Dungeness crab, panko asparagus, and avocado was easily one of the best rolls we've ever had. * Miso & Cream of Broccoli Soups: We tried both. While the miso soup originally came out a bit lukewarm, the staff didn't hesitate to fix it. They were happy to take it back and brought out a fresh, piping-hot bowl immediately. Great service! * Fire-Grilled Honey Mustard Beef Short Ribs: These were fabulous. The ribs were so tender and flavorful, paired perfectly with an awesome potato patty and broccolini. * Big Island Loco Moco: A very filling and sumptuous dish. The beef patty with the oyster mushroom sauce and fried egg was pure comfort food elevated to a gourmet level. The Sweet Ending We finished with the "Melting Hot" Chocolate Cake served with raspberry-vanilla swirl ice cream. It was divine--rich, gooey, and "too good" to put into words! To top off the celebration, the staff brought out a complimentary anniversary dessert with a sweet message written on the plate. Final Verdict Between the stunning views, the incredible food, and the attentive service, our anniversary lunch was perfect. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion in Pebble Beach, Roy's is a must-visit.

    Classic Trio
    Caitleen N.

    We made a reservation here for a birthday dinner during our visit to Monterey, and it was remembered that we were celebrating a birthday until they gave us the birthday greeting card of the completely wrong person HAHA no harm no foul. Everyone working was really nice and made sure that we were well taken care of. We were seated outside, and it was gorgeous to be outdoors overlooking the water. It did get a little cold at night, but there were plenty of space warmers outside to keep us warm. We both ordered the Tribute Pre Fixe Menu but one with the Classic Trio and one with the Truffle Crusted 8 oz Wagyu Ribeye Steak so we could try everything! The Roy's Haleakala Roll was good and had a real nice crunch. The Kuliouou Salad was refreshing! The Classic Trio was okay - I felt that they were on the drier side, but I enjoyed the variety on the plate. The Ribeye was juicy, but I felt that the truffle was very strong, and it became filling very fast. We were surprised with a birthday message with the "Melting Hot" Chocolate Cake, and it was so yummy!

    Ask the Community - Roy's at Pebble Beach

    Are jeans allowed as long as they are nice and we are dressed nicely?

    Absolutely no problem

    Can we wear our golfing outfit if we are dining straight after playing, or will we need to change into a nicer outfit?

    Of course, wear your golf clothes. Roy's is a nice, but not a pretentious restaurant. You will be totally comfortable in your golf attire.

    Is the patio dining dog friendly?

    Yes, but make sure to call and check how long the wait is, as they don't take reservations for the patio and it does fill up on weekends due to the gorgeous view. A couple that was behind us with a dog was told it was over an hour and a half wait on… 

    How often can you get a table by showing up without a reservation?

    We showed up at the restaurant midweek around 2 PM and there were only 2-3 other tables occupied. We did not have a reservation. Cannot comment on peak lunch hour or dinner time.

    What is the dress code?

    Resort casual

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes. Ask your waiter & they'll either give you a paper one or tell you. I believe they have cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, pb&j

    Lobster roll in the menu?

    There's a lobster sandwich on the current (updated July 1) lunch menu. It's not on the dinner menu.

My family and I arrived around 8:30 PM and were seated immediately. The menu was interesting, though I was a bit disappointed there was no dedicated kids menu. When we asked our waiter, he mentioned they did have two kid-friendly options available: a cheese quesadilla and chicken & rice. We ordered both of those, along with calamari from the starters and a Thai chicken rice dish. Unfortunately, none of it landed well for us. The cheese quesadilla came with nothing but melted cheese between the tortilla no sides, no sauce. The chicken from the kids menu needed salt badly, and the sauce that came with it wasn't to our liking either. The calamari dish was especially disappointing -- just 5 strips for $15, which felt like a rip-off, and the sauce was watery and not good. The chicken bowl came with plantains, chicken, beans, and rice, but the beans caught us off guard, they didn't mention this in the menu. Overall, we didn't enjoy any of the dishes, and the food-to-price ratio felt way off.

We started with the coconut shrimp which were soooo agood and easily one of my favorites. The scallops were huge and cooked perfectly, the salmon was seasoned really well, and the lobster ravioli was delicious. The garlic bread was probably the only miss for me, it was just meh. The drinks were good too! I ordered an espresso martini and liked it so much I had to get a second one. My hubby had a Bloody Mary, which was okay, but nothing special. Customer service was great, and everyone was welcoming and attentive. The restaurant isn't very big, and it filled up quickly while we were there, which definitely says something.
