Located in the beautiful Bowers Art Museum, Tangata provides a fantastic ambience, Spanish style patio and courtyard, bright flowers and a swanky sky-lit inner room with high ceilings. Once you are peacefully nestled in your seat, order from a number of delectable Californian dishes. In true Californian style, tapas and sandwiches are on the menu. These sandwiches have a punch, like the Roasted Butternut Squash and Manchego Cheese with White Truffle Oil. If you want something a bit more substantial, try the Oven slow-roasted Half Chicken instead - it comes with Basque jus and Tangata garlic fries. The restaurant also organizes banquets for special events and what better place to have a private party or a wedding reception surrounded by beauty and art. You can bring your own alcohol but corkage applies.
