"The Pawnee House feels like a dinner party you actually want to be at. You’ll find everyone from farmhands to fashionistas, with a menu full of things like whipped feta sourced from the island’s Mermaid Farm, and mains like vegan curry pot pie and Korean jackfruit tacos. The owners clearly care—not just about the sourcing and quality of the food, but also about making dinner feel like a special event (complete with a table-side wine stand) even if it’s just a random Wednesday night. Whether you’re on a date or out with friends, it’s one of the island’s most reliable dinner spots." - Morgen Schroeder
