Specials for 8/22 & 8/23 2008!

EVERY WEDNESDAY - $2 OFF ALL MARTINIS

EVERY THURSDAY - $8 SUSHI APPETIZERS

EVERY WEEKEND - PRIX FIXE MENU



This weekend I have a couple of truly special treats. Friday, I am able to offer Hawaiian Blue Prawns (so named for their brilliant blue shells). Sweet as lobster meat, but as tender as Snapper, these very difficult-to-get delicacies are the ONLY shrimp/prawns in the world that are considered so pure that they are sashimi graded!



Saturday, we are offering wonderful rabbit, that was locally-raised at the Rare Hare ranch. The rabbit is certified organic and humanely-raised; the quality is the finest I have ever seen. Slow-braised, so that it is so tender it falls right off the bone, I am finishing this with Tuscan black truffle “gravy” and fresh morel mushrooms from Oregon. Now how can you miss out on that?
