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 that you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

We don't take ourselves too seriously at Jax Fish House. Two things we do take seriously? The freshness and sustainability of our seafood. You know fresh fish when you see, smell, and taste it-and thanks to modern delivery technology, we bring in that freshy-fresh seven days a week. Sustainability is a little more complicated. Not all commercial fisheries are created equal. That's why we work closely with our suppliers and science-based organizations to ensure that every single thing we serve is responsibly sourced. We consider the stocks of the species we source to prevent overfishing and we work with suppliers who harvest in ways that have minimal impacts on marine environments.

    Jax is an outstanding restaurant . The food and service were superb. My wife is especially picky about the freshness of fish and the way it is cooked. She raved about her Cod dish. I had a Tuna dish that was very tasty . The asparagus was notable in that thin stalks were chosen and cooked to perfection. The waiter was attentive, but not overbearing. All sauces were delicious .

    Always a lovely experience! The food and service are both top notch. I appreciated that they had a prix fix menu for the holiday but you could also order the items a la carte so that’s what we did. The oysters were a perfect starter, the seasonal burrata is always a hit. The pizza was simple but very good. I also appreciate that they offer nice mocktails - the roots is my favorite.

    Once again, our experience was amazing sitting at the Chef's Counter. The chef's know their stuff in this kitchen, and it's a learning experience too when the chef's describe the ingredients and process for each dish. These chefs are passionate about their food and the ingredients used. The cocktails are very creative and perfect. We will be back again and again.

    The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. I felt a bit rushed in the beginning as a few items arrived quickly about the same time, but then it all smoothed out and I was quite content with the entire dining experience. Everything was beyond delicious! Thanks you Stella's Cucina for a special dining experience.
