The name Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian and American cultures. Like our name, our food reflects this dynamic combination. The menu is based on traditional Japanese cooking fundamentals which are then amplified, muted, or mixed with influences from many different styles of cooking until they are something completely new: they're Hapa. We have stretched the boundaries of creativity to develop dishes that defy all the rules while holding true to our roots. We hope you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun!

Guard & Grace knows how to do it right! The tables are far enough apart that you're not bumping into other patrons and you can hold a conversation. The service couldn't be better with professionalism and friendliness. The food is delicious. Only criticism is the music is a bit loud.

Tavernetta was great. We were seated in the “chefs table” area so we could see the kitchen action. Our servers were not as attentive as I would have expected and drink refills were slow. I also thought the portions could have been a little heavier for the price but taste was fantastic. Would absolutely come back again.
