A new Hawaiian eatery is planning to debut in Santa Rosa. 

Coming to 4618 Old Redwood HighwayHapa’s On the Mainland will land near establishments such as Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, Machado Burgers, and Starbucks.

“Hawaii is a melting pot of ethnic cultures and nowhere is this influence more profound than in its cuisine: a fusion of Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Filipino, and Chinese influences,” the concept shares on its website.

The introduction continues, “Hapa’s will merge the attraction of Hawaiian-inspired cuisine, the warmth and hospitality of the aloha spirit, and beautiful island design to transport our guests to the Big Island.”

“Featuring a modern tiki lounge with craft cocktails and an extensive rum and sake selection, Hapa’s will be an elevated but approachable dining experience fit to become a neighborhood favorite.”

What Now San Francisco reached out to the concept’s co-owner, Dennis Tussey — who is also the restaurateur behind Sweet T’s in Windsor — to inquire about the upcoming eatery, but he could not provide additional information before publication.

An opening date has not been announced yet, so stay tuned for updates.
