Sailor's knot pastry. This is the best thing ever! (If they are all sold out when you get there, get a Morning Bun. And set your alarm to wake up earlier the next day to get the Knot!)

This is 5-star dining but in a casual, not uppity environment. You could come to dinner in a dress or all decked out and not be out of place. Excellent food and has vegetarian options.

Island Kitchen
1 Chins WayRight around the corner. Good options for vegetarians.
Super casual and has outdoor seating (picnic tables). My favorite is the tuna burger, which is served on an English muffin. If you can, order the What a Watermelon beer to go with it. And don't forget the truffle fries!
