ROYS 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION - HAWAII KAI, HAWAII

ROY'S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION

HONOLULU, HAWAII

Wow......what a magical evening of fine food, wine and great people. We were very blessed to enjoy the 4th of July at Roy's in Hawaii Kai. The evening was capped off with a huge fireworks display right in front of our table which was on the lawn fronting Roy's restaurant. It really does not get much better than this. We dined on a wide variety of finger foods that were presented at food stations both inside and outside of Roy's. There were Lamb Burgers, BBQ Ribs, Crab Cakes, Shrimp Skewers, Lobster Hot Dogs, Soft Shell Crab Burgers, Grilled Oysters, Corn on the Cob and lots of other great dishes. There was also Cotton Candy and Carmel Apples for the kids. Plus fresh Lemonade and Root Beer Floats. Roy himself was there to meet guests and enjoy the evening. Roy is a very humble and relaxed man. I have never seen a restaurant owner this relaxed and at ease with his customers. With 39 Roy's Restaurants all over the World, he is a true celebrity chef and accomplished businessman. Roy's staff is remarkable. Hard working, polite and gracious at every level. I cannot wait until next year. We will be there early to get the eight person table under the tree on the front lawn. This was a private oasis over looking the bay. Back to the food. The Ribs were fantastic. My wife loved the Soft Shell Crab Burgers. Think she had at least two. Our friends truly enjoyed the Grilled Oysters and just about everything else.
