Owner is so stingy and petty, I ordered the croissant chicken sandwich and it’s one of the worst item on the menu. I told the owner I didn’t want it and he reused to swap for me and forced me to pay for it. The prices they charge is not on par for the quality of the food.

The perfect spot to enjoy an elevated eating experience. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. The decor is modern with a fun, eclectic twist. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The place was extremely clean. The food was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Easy listening music playing softly in the background. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place. Great food. Service is usually, but there is a short hair waitress that is usually rude and sometimes can ruin your vibe for the day.

Posh and nice inside. Servers were quick and courteous. Coffee was great. Chicken and waffle was awesome, chicken fried to perfection. Burger was a bit heavy (gravy sauce) and didn’t taste all that good - would not recommend. Itemized check received, no dumb fees or charges, was accurate. Left a 20 percent+ tip. Only docking half to one star due to below average burger. Would still recommend! 😀

I have been to The Royale 3 times now, and have been even more impressed each time.

Their breakfast offering is amazing, from the standard breakfast omelettes and benedicts, to the amazing seafood options, including etouffee and a delicious ahi tuna salad. The presentation is just as sharp as the food, too.

I would highly recommend going with a large group and sharing everything - you're going to want to try the whole menu.

Their coffee/tea/espresso options are also fantastic, as are their cocktails.

I also learned the last time I was here that they now do dinner service too. Can't wait to try it!

Eye opening food that you’ll find yourself dreaming about later - I truly feel sorry for people who don’t live close enough to dine here on absolutely every special occasion. Staff is attentive and genuinely nice - to the pint where they’re almost TOO attentive! The interior is fresh and upscale featuring dish ware that draws your eye in toward your food inviting you to eat with your eyes first.

100% of the time—the alcoholic drinks are made to make you happy…the food is prepared to taste the best…and the coffee drinks are amazing. The service is amazing, especially if you have Rita as your server. The ambiance made us try Royale but the list above made it our favorite restaurant in the bay.

Excellent experience and a much shorter wait than some other restaurants in the area. Top notch service and excellent cuisine. Only a bit too much ambient noise; otherwise, The Royale delivers royal taste and service!

This is a solid crafty brunch spot. The place is well decorated and the staff is friendly. The food was really good- I ordered the smoked salmon croissant and my son ordered the ahi salad. The salmon croissant was excellent, i would order this again. The ahi salad was good but not as exciting a dish as my smoked salmon, somewhat basic although the avocado mouse was a nice touch. The hot chocolate came in an adorable mug and the honey I asked for to use in my coffee was presented in a golden bee. Very cute touches, this makes this place stand out.
Be prepared to pay for it though. I dropped $90 on brunch for my 10 year old and me for 2 plates, side of their specialty bacon, coffee and hot chocolate.

Appetizer, salad, entree and dessert all were exemplary. The atmosphere was lovely. Presentation was top notch. Go!!!

I loved the place and the food was delicious!!! We only had one minor issue: they asked us to leave our table, I think we exceeded the allowed time 🤭🤭but otherwise everything was excellent.
