A '''[[restaurant]]''' is a type of location in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]] that allow Sims to eat out at [[community lot]]s without having to cook for themselves. They were first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'', and later reintroduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]''. ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'' and ''The Sims 4: Dine Out'' allowed Sims to run a restaurant in an owned [[business]], managing its staff, menu, and pricing. In these games, players are able to see inside the restaurant and direct their Sims around as usual once inside.


Unlike other worlds, a land connection does not exist for every lot, necessitating the use of [[boat]]s in order to get around. Boats can be purchased in [[buy mode]] by the player in a similar fashion to purchasing [[car]]s, and require a boat trailer to be docked at. Sims can also build a [[houseboat]], a type of [[residential lot]] that can be moved around on the water. A taxi boat service is available for Sims who do not own their own boat. Isla Paradiso's oceans are deep enough for the [[Kraken]]—a giant sea monster—to appear, and may attack the boats of Sims if they stay out in the water for too long.
Restaurants in general consist of at least three employees—a host that seats customers; a server that delivers the food; and a chef that prepares the dishes. The restaurant will also require a podium for the host to be stationed at, a stove for the chef to cook with, and a sink or [[dishwasher]] for the servers to wash the dirty dishes in. In ''Hot Date'', restaurants also required a [[Refrigerator|fridge]] and a preparation surface.


129 Sims appear in Isla Paradiso, including one returning Sim—[[Edward Dregg]], who first appeared in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' and ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' as a pirate captain ghost.
Restaurants appear in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' as [[rabbit hole]] locations that players cannot see into. Sims can choose to eat at a [[diner]] or a [[bistro]]; the latter is more expensive, but can trigger events that will not occur at a diner. Players can direct their Sims to stay for dessert after the meal, but otherwise cannot choose what their Sims will order, and cannot see their Sims eating inside the restaurant. However, a venue from [[The Sims 3 Store]], titled the [http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:67573 Business as Usual Bistro], features a working restaurant, complete with the ability to assign a chef, set the menu, and decide the opening hours for the restaurant. If a Sim owns the restaurant, they can also profit from it.

A view of Isla Paradiso.

Isla Paradiso is a world featured in The Sims 3: Island Paradise, consisting of a town located on a tropical archipelago with many different islands. It was designed to highlight the many new features introduced in the expansion pack, such as houseboats, diving areas, resorts, and hidden islands. The world bears some resemblance to Sunlit Tides, but has more of a Spanish-Caribbean theme and places more emphasis on interacting with the water.

Unlike other worlds, a land connection does not exist for every lot, necessitating the use of boats in order to get around. Boats can be purchased in buy mode by the player in a similar fashion to purchasing cars, and require a boat trailer to be docked at. Sims can also build a houseboat, a type of residential lot that can be moved around on the water. A taxi boat service is available for Sims who do not own their own boat. Isla Paradiso's oceans are deep enough for the Kraken—a giant sea monster—to appear, and may attack the boats of Sims if they stay out in the water for too long.

129 Sims appear in Isla Paradiso, including one returning Sim—Edward Dregg, who first appeared in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and The Sims Castaway Stories as a pirate captain ghost.
