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.

Description:
This Japanese pub and restaurant will make you feel like you are in Tokyo. The atmosphere is lively as patrons convene over the fine food, enhanced by the Japanese beer and sake. You're going to want to order something with your sake—that's what the "kappo" are for. Kappo are appetizers that are meant to be eaten while drinking. If you want something more, try the fish entrees or the filet mignon. The menu doesn't have many conventional wines as most people are imbibing beer and sake.
