Ahi Tuna Wonton
Nothing says summer like the fresh, clean taste of seared ahi tuna paired with bright, tropical flavors. Our Ahi Tuna Wonton is a perfect appetizer to start your meal.

The combination of the succulent crab with the creamy, spicy toppings creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is both satisfying and refreshing. The crispness of the tostada adds a delightful crunch, making it a perfect summer starter.
Rotisserie Chicken & Avocado Salad
Salads are a summer staple, and our Rotisserie Chicken & Avocado Salad is a standout. This salad combines organic greens with creamy avocado, roasted corn, grape tomatoes, almonds, dates, cornbread croutons, and goat cheese, all tossed in a creamy bacon dressing. The rotisserie chicken adds a smoky depth to the salad, while the avocado and fresh vegetables provide a refreshing contrast. It’s a hearty yet light dish that embodies the flavors of summer.
Honey Chipotle Shrimp Tacos
Tacos are always a crowd-pleaser, and our Honey Chipotle Shrimp Tacos bring a vibrant twist to this classic dish.
