    Starters were fine. Main course three had sea bass which was dry and overdone. Other guest had a risotto with scallops and king prawns. There were no king prawns which we told the waitress.

    Food was simple but nice and hot and tasty. Staff welcoming. I will return but didn't feel it had an authentic Italian vibe.

    Thank you so much for your kind review and we appreciate your feedback. Just so that you are aware Roy's is not an Italian Restaurant. We base ourselves on modern, contemporary cuisine. Our chefs were trained at Leith's Food & Wine Academy so their expertise of cooking ranges from International and British dishes that offer Seafood, Grills, Pasta & Pizza and much more.

    We decided to try this restaurant as we had liked the previous incarnation. We were pleased that we did as everything about it was exemplary. My only but very minor and personal issue was that the menu had not many items for people that do not like spiced food or fish. There are pizzas and burgers but a plain steak would be nice. Other than that niggle everything else was superb.

    We arrived Saturday evening and were greeted with a smile. Forwarded to our table we were given our menus and asked if we would like water. a little while in we were asked if we wanted drinks which we ordered and were promptly brought to us. The group was in good spirits. Food was ordered a came promptly and hot. The service was excellent and care was taken in the surroundings. All in all a lovely evening provided by the courteous staff Thank you Roy’s

    Went for my sons birthday. Attractive table decoration reflected this, nice touch. We felt there were many tempting food options on the menu, but those we chose were all enjoyed. Wine list was varied although no choices by the glass were priced on the menu. Service was exceptional - well done to the young people who waited our table. Overall the restaurant is a great addition to the high street and we will be returning.

    We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Roy's to celebrate a birthday. The menu choices were very good - lunchtime specials being very good value for money. The pizzas were amazing, one of the best I have ever had! Overall a very enjoyable experience. I would recommend a visit if you haven't already been - you won't regret it.

    Roys Restaurant, is part of the Stylish London within Hertfordshire. It provides a warm, friendly atmosphere. The menu offers a very variety of different crusines, and when the meals arrive, they are hot, very tasty and very filling. Deserts match the main course, in that there is good variey and very tasteful. The cost was very resonable and the staff were very professional in their approach to ensure our visit was enjoyable and memorable. The restaurant is highly recommended

    A welcome newcomer to Welwyn. Good choice of dishes in a varied and imaginative menu. Sound cooking and very personable ( if rather slow) service. Range and choice of wines, particularly by the glass, needs to be improved.

    The food was ok, but a lot was fried or overly rich and the pizza was quite stodgy. Dishes weren't particularly authentic as far as Italian food goes and food and drink was overpriced for the quality. We were shocked at the price of an Affogatto at £7.90 seeing as a shot of espresso is £2.75, that means one scoop of ice cream was over £5. Staff were nice and friendly and helpful though it was dead in there. We won't be back in a hurry.

    Second time here - absolutely loved it! Our only feedback would be that it was a little louder last night, but quite natural being a Saturday night but can be hard to hear for a quiet family meal! But overall loved it, will definitely be back, maybe just with friends on the Saturday!
