Yelp.com Review - by Justin W.

4.0 of 5 stars. Very fresh and diverse fish menu. If you are not a seafood fan this may not be the place as the chicken and steak options are scant. The appetizers and desserts are also excellent.

2.0 of 5 stars. Roy's is one of many restaurants in Orlando offering a themed ambiance and menu. It felt a bit like a tourist trap and the emphasis placed on Roy by the founder's menu and servers was over the top....

4.0 of 5 stars. Good Asian Fusion, and it's a nice restaurant. You do get the chain feel from the food. They have some good seafood, and good tropical drinks. Not spectacular but worth going at least once.
