Roy's Restaurant Jacksonville Beach

Food was good. I had the chicken egg rolls. It had a Asian taste to it; very tasty and different. The outside tasted like veggie spring rolls. The inside wasn't a flavor I expected bc I thought of a prepackaged egg roll; this egg roll tasted very authentic. It was really packed with flavor. I also had the lobster bisque which had a buttery taste. Not too thick and not too thin. It was served with the right amount of lobster. Croutons were also served on top of the dish and that gave it extra flavor. I ordered the Salmon, well done, and this dish came with red potatoes, sautéed spinach and asparagus. The Salmon was great. It wasn't dry, the was not an after taste, it was grilled and well seasoned. This spinach & asparagus could've been sautéed a little more, they were lightly sautéed; this made the spinach a little difficult to grab with the fork and the asparagus was a bit more challenging to eat because it was crunchy and there were multiple pieces the fork just wouldn't go thru. Overall the food was really good, the bill was reasonable. The staff was nice. I sat at the bar. Even there, she was attentive, pleasant, helpful and courteous. The environment was quiet and positive, you could hear laughter here and there but not too much to interrupt a meal. The seating was spaced out. It was not crowded; I live that this place has a lot of space. Even at the bar, a party could sit and still be socially distanced. The design and set up definitely fits the comfort level needed during this pandemic.

This place is very nice fine dinning restaurant. We always enjoy our food here. This last time we came to eat, we celebrated my wives bday. It took over an hour to get our food, it was delicious but both my wife and I complained to each other how the food was barely hot. That was our only negative complaint. Everything else was good. We went on a Wednesday night, it wasn’t that busy so we were also confused why it took over an hour to get our food. We like this place so we will back in future and hopefully food will be hotter & quicker. Our check total was $130 for reference
