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 went to the Kitchen for a business dinner - 9 of us. I love the family style serving and Nicole (who was our server) did an amazing job walking us through the menu and helping us out. The carrots, and the pork belly are favorites of the team.

    Been going to Salt for over a decade. Never disappoints. This was a first date, I recommend seating in the cellar, quiet and intimate. Shared mussels, scallops, and a salad. Also split a steak with garlic mashers. All excellent. Ordered a bottle of wine from the by the glass menu and it was delicious.

    This was our first visit to Stella's Cucina and it was perfect. The food was delicious. The portions were a nice size, and the presentation beautiful. Our visit to Stella's was one to remember, the ambiance was enjoyable and the personnel so attentive. We will be back for sure.

    Absolutely love this place. Greeting at the door was warm and inviting. Atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Cannot say enough good things about the food. The pork belly was delicious, as was the roasted beef and corvina bass. Finished off the meal with the most amazing butter pecan ice cream that I've ever tasted! The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Loved the spin he puts on the cocktails (definitely knows how to balance tastes). Have been here multiple times and every visit is better than the one before. Will return the next time we're in town.
