Tell an Islander that dinner is at Kyo-ya, and you get a long drawn-out "Ooooh," acknowledging both the restaurant's reputation for quality and its top-flight prices. As to authenticity, suffice it to say that you're likely to run into members of the Japanese consular staff. The menu is complete with teishoku (combination meals that include salad, soup, sides, and rice), very fresh sushi, noodles, grilled dishes, and hot pots prepared at table. Kyo-ya occupies a striking building with a contemporary teahouse design fronted by an Asian garden.
