Shogun is a teppan steak and sushi fine dining restaurant. This restaurant is just as much as about entertainment as it is about great cuisine. Here, diners sit at tables that are attached to a large flat hibachi grill. Once patrons make their order, their own personal hibachi chef cooks up their meal right in front of them, complete with a few tricks to keep it fun. Shogun features several robust and flavorful appetizers. Guests have their pick of items like chili-spiced edamame, chicken yakitori, calamari rings served with sweet and sour sauce as well as deep fried pork dumplings. For entrées, guests can either order something from the hibachi grill or try one of Shogun's many sushi dinners. If guests want the best of both worlds, there is always the option to order a sushi roll as an appetizer before moving on to the grilled courses.

    Europa delivers a truly immersive dining experience from the moment you arrive. The music starts in the parking lot and carries throughout the beautiful Spanish-inspired restaurant, instantly transporting you to another place. Nancy greeted us warmly at the front, and Executive Chef Hani personally shared the inspiration behind the menu, which made the evening feel extra special. We sat on the back patio overlooking the vineyard during harvest season — the views were absolutely stunning. Our server, Logan, was outstanding and guided us through the Spanish-style cuisine with great recommendations. We started with tapas, and every dish was incredible. The crispy Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze were delicious, and the croquettas stuffed with manchego cheese over savory short rib were easily the table favorite. We finished the evening with churros and warm chocolate cake while watching a beautiful sunset. The entire staff was attentive and welcoming, especially Kevin, who made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. An unforgettable experience with amazing food, atmosphere, and hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!
