Asian Tapas style - we encourage sharing these “small plates” of delicacies with good wine or cocktail.  These items will be brought to your table immediately as they are prepared fresh from our kitchen so that you can share among friends and family.  We recommend ordering a few small plates accompanied with wine or cocktail to share among friends and family whether you’re relaxing on the patio or just lounging…
