Fodor's Expert Review Goat Island Cafe

This open air café at Sadie's by the Sea Hotel overlooks Pago Pago Harbor and has one of the best beach views on the island. At this restaurant, open throughout the day and night, you can dine indoors, on the terrace, or under the big fale (a partially open-air section). The menu caters to all tastes, offering American favorites, Chinese dishes, and seafood. Try the prawn and papaya salad, fried calamrai, or the crispy ahi rolls served with wasabi and soy sauce. More substantial items include grilled T-bone steaks, and there's a weekly umu (a banquet at which food is cooked in an underground oven). A band plays on Friday nights, and during the day you should watch for the turtles that swim in the shallows just beyond the café.
