I prefer Fancy sushi (for sushi), but this place has s a higher end atmosphere and some great Japanese fusion entrees, but it comes at a higher price too. Cool overall place to go.

Best Pizza on the Island, but a little pricey compared to places like Papa Johns which delivers. They didn't take credit cards a few years back so check before you go.

A Southern local chain with good food and great (free) fresh baked bread like jalapeno cheddar, cinnamon, and another one I can't remember. If you're into southern cooking, it's a pretty good venue

Can't vouch for it, but it's highly recommended, and in a nice area. Let me know if you recommend it! Unless you like reheated frozen food, don't eat at the Italian place on Centre Street -Terrible!!

A Very Close 2nd best sushi on the island, but the real draw is the hibachi which is as good as any I've been to, and yes they do the volcano! Good venue for kids.
