Review by Brooks G.

November 29, 2024

I recently visited The Royal and enjoyed a lovely brunch experience. The heart of palm arepa was a standout - so flavorful and reminiscent of authentic Venezuelan cuisine. The atmosphere is inviting, perfect for solo or group dining, and I appreciated the friendly staff's service. The cocktails during happy hour were delightful as well, though I found the outdoor seating a bit disconnected from the main vibe. Overall, a great spot to relax and unwind while indulging in delicious comfort food! 🌟
