Roy's Description:
Despite its proximity to a mall, Roy's in La Jolla's Golden Triangle is not a typical chain restaurant, but rather one of Hawaiian chef Roy Yamaguchi's fun yet sophisticated outposts. Inside all is abuzz, especially the popular full bar that boasts an excellent wine list. Dinner service is a bit slow, but once you sink your teeth into the artfully arranged food, you will grant forgiveness. Besides a full sushi menu that includes daily creations by chef Evan Cruz, the menu also offers cooked seafood such as miso-glazed butterfish, opakapaka with red curry, and seared halibut in an Indonesian shallot sauce. The filet mignon we ordered was good, but lacked the intense flavor of the slow-braised beef short ribs. Although desserts range from the decadent flourless chocolate soufflé to the restrained tropical fruit cobbler, our pick is the mango-macadamia nut bread pudding.
