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.

    One of the best dining experiences - start to finish - that we’ve had. The food was outstanding: fresh, flavorful and delicious. Nice portion sizes - enough to share bites without being overwhelming. Our server was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The space is very cool and comfortable and the live jazz was awesome. Really high quality without being pretentious. We’ll be back, for sure!

    Wonderful brunch at River and Woods. Hard to find a breakfast place with French press coffee but R&W has it and it’s incredible! We celebrated my wife’s birthday today over brunch and every aspect was delightful. Small quaint place but quiet enough to have great conversation over delicious food. We’ll be back again and again!

    Going on Valentine's Day was truly frenetic, but I have to give this restaurant a lot of credit because the service was amazing and the food was spot on. The hamachi was a nice portion, and the poke bowl was a lot bigger than we imagined...and that was all we could eat. We will be back.

    Always a lovely experience! The food and service are both top notch. I appreciated that they had a prix fix menu for the holiday but you could also order the items a la carte so that’s what we did. The oysters were a perfect starter, the seasonal burrata is always a hit. The pizza was simple but very good. I also appreciate that they offer nice mocktails - the roots is my favorite.
