People here love good food, but are very selective about which restaurants they patronize. A universal favorite is the Thai restaurant Sawadty, at Island Center on the corner of Miller and New Brooklyn. A reservation is a good idea if you don't want to be stuck waiting among the Buddhist sculptures at the entrance. Sawadty has an extensive Chinese menu as well. This outwardly unpreposessing concrete-block place is ranked by a lot of people as the best restaurant on the island.
