Savory
Spinach & Artichoke Dip

this savory appetizer and see if he disappears)
$7.95
Grilled
Shrimp Satay with Two Sauces

(We call it a Satay because
calling it a shrimp kabob would make you think we didn’t know any fancy words)

Ahi,
cucumber, avocado and onion with a chili soy Hui sauce
(We only serve poke
tuna because the fast ones get away)

tried)

Scott’s
Favorite Pasta
sautéed broccoli, roasted walnuts and

Stacey’s Favorite
Baked Shells & Cheese

help you that much)
