Dramatic views and dark décor set the stage for dishes like tuna poke with inamona jus, truffle oil, avocado and cucumber, 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 gratifyingly into fish (note we did not say seafood), is creative and supports a nice range of notable dishes. For fun, try the dim sum-style canoe appetizer with four tastes of Roy's specialties, or go for the lobster and black truffle risotto with vanilla saffron vin blanc. The mixed plate (grilled salmon, blackened ahi and Hawaiian-style misoyaki butterfish) is a sure bet for an entrée, but we also like the blue crab swordfish with pineapple fried rice and togarashi, too. The bar area at the front of the restaurant has become a hot spot to meet after work, in part because of the extensive wine list and selection of wines by the glass.
