Roy's restaurant in Santa Barbara seems to have received mixed reviews from its customers. While some praised the delicious food and friendly service, others were not impressed with their experience. One diner mentioned that the steak sandwich was overcooked, but they chose not to send it back. Another customer found the food to be inedible, particularly mentioning a pasta dish that was drenched in alcohol. On Thanksgiving, the restaurant offered a fixed menu for $75 per person, but some guests were disappointed with the quality of the dishes, including bland mashed potatoes and insipid vegetables. Despite some negative feedback, there were positive comments as well, with one reviewer mentioning that the house salad and handmade pasta were delectable. Overall, it seems that Roy's has room for improvement in certain areas such as food quality and service efficiency, but some customers still enjoyed their dining experience.
