Dramatic, dark surroundings set the stage for dishes like tuna poke with inamona jus, truffle oil, avocado and cucumber, while a good selection of wines and sakÃ© encourages experimentation. The same is true of the menu, which dips gratifyingly into fish, is creative and supports a range of notable dishes. For fun, try the dim sum-style canoe appetizer with four tastes of Roy's specialties, or go for the crunchy, golden lobster potstickers with togarashi-infused miso butter sauce. The mixed plate (grilled salmon, blackened ahi and Hawaiian-style misoyaki butterfish) is a sure bet for an entrÃ©e, but we also have enjoyed the Alaskan halibut with chili-kaffir lime vinaigrette. The bar area at the front of the restaurant has become a hot-spot to meet after work, in part because of the extensive selection of wines by the glass and $5 appetizers (offered Sun.-Thurs., 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.). Thereâ€™s a gluten-free menu for those in need. Meanwhile, sweet finishes are familiar---as in molten chocolate soufflÃ© and pineapple upside-down cake---but that doesnâ€™t mean they arenâ€™t good.
