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.

    This is our third time eating at Black Cat Farm and the experience is always lovely. We were greeted at their beautiful farm with flutes of champagne and hot apple cider in tea cups. There’s warm wood fire stoves running everywhere and it’s so beautiful. Food was stellar and we even got to chat with the chef at the end of the night. Highly suggest for a special evening!

    We ate here about a month ago and weren't impressed. But, to their credit they invited us back to try again, and things were much improved. The food was excellent and service pleasant. Our only comment is that sitting at the table just inside the door was chilly with the door opening every time someone came or went, plus a bit disruptive with customers being greeted there. But, compared to our first experience, we were delighted this time and will definitely keep this restaurant in mind for future occasions!
