As a melting pot of so many cultures,
this menu is the most exciting for new customers, regulars and me!. It's a combination of so many different cuisines blended into my own recipes.
The highlight of this menu is the option for a Surf and Turf or Sea Grill. Meaning the option to do a Land or Sea option OR a Land and 2 Sea options served on the plate or platter style to share at the table with your friends and family.
All portions are lighter but equal to a full course + the addition of appetizer, salad and dessert.
3 Courses are also an option
