I've said it before, and I'll say it again
Eat at Roy's. If there is a Roy's restaurant near you, make a reservation today for dinner. Hawaiian/Japanese fusion cuisine that is just wonderful. Good food, nicely presented, and excellent service from the staff to boot.
Saturday, Brett and I went to see The Who at the Nokia Theater. We had dinner at Roy's on Figueroa before hand (5:15 reservation. Who fans get that). For appetizers, I had the potato and sweet corn chowder. When it arrived, it didn't look like much, but once I tasted it, it was great. Not a chunky chowder, smooth with sweet corn pieces, a lovely sweet flavor. I hope it's still on the menu next time we go. Brett had prosciutto wrapped shrimp with polenta that he loved, but he gave me a taste. Tender, and very flavorful.
Dinner. ordering from the prix fixe menu, Brett had peppercorn and lemongrass sirloin steak. When Brett eats, he has a definite eating face. He had his eating face on while he scarfed that steak. He did not let me have a taste, and he finished it off in about half the time it took for me to eat my entree. I can only assume it was delicious.
I had the grilled salmon with a crab glaze in a sesame and chive butter sauce. The salmon was perfectly prepared, the sauce didn't overwhelm the fish fish, and I slowly savored it in contrast to Brett.
For dessert, instead of ordering our usually hot chocolate souffle, we decided to try the white chocolate and strawberry cobbler. It came a la mode with vanilla bean ice cream. Wonderful, though the white chocolate was a bit scarce.
Anyway, there are pictures. Enjoy. And, again, eat at Roy's.
