The menu offers a variety of local and ethnic foods, including: ahi poke, inari and maki sushi, main course items such as seafood potpourri in a basil snowflake sage sauce, chicken breast with tomato apricot chutney and sherry glaze, and mahi mahi with lemon basil caper beurre blanc, and apple strudel with cinnamon custard, chocolate mousse in glass with open fruit tarts.
