Tsunami

Here is one of tonight’s specials: Seared rare tuna on mango-jalapeño sauce, with spicy black bean purée and to***co onions.

Weather is beautiful! Come by and see me if you are in the neighborhood!

Here is just one of tonights specials: Tequila and lime cured salmon on herb salad with sweet mustard vinaigrette and crispy wonton chips.

Here are two of tonights specials: Wasabi deviled eggs and Key lime pie! Perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day☀️

It’s hot outside🔥
How about cooling down with one of our favourite wines on the list: The Vinos Marinos ‘El Neptuno’ Albariño. Would pair well with our Barramundi special with Thai red curry.

Summertime and the living is easy…..
Heirloom tomato and burrata salad with pesto, toasted challah and lemon-smoked pepper vinaigrette ☀️

For those of you missing our Thai red curry sauce, tonight we are featuring it with macadamia nut crusted barramundi with jasmine rice.

It’s hot enough outside, so we’ve got some chilled items on our Chef’s Specials menu to cool down your core temperature. First off, the Asian nachos are back by popular demand. They’re cold, but they’ll bring a sweat to your brow, which will cool you down. We also have a pickled shrimp and watermelon salad with basil aioli and a watermelon-mint gastrique. This dish just screams Summer in the South. It’s totally chill. And you will be too after eating it. On the entree side we’ve got a roasted salmon on heirloom tomato salad (hand selected by yours truly at the Agricenter Farmers Market just this morning) with smoked salt, pecorino cheese and a Thai basil vinaigrette.
Speaking of cool, we also have a brand new 5 ton air conditioner unit piping cold air into our dining rooms. Come on in and see for yourself.

A whole new set of small plates for the weekend! Trout amandine doesn’t happen often at Tsunami, so get it while you can.

Feeling a little nostalgic for San Francisco this week and the years I spent there. Maybe it’s the current weather, I don’t know. Anyway, I decided to recreate an iconic San Francisco dish: cioppino. This hearty tomato and fennel based stew is chock full of seafood: grouper, sea bass, tuna, shrimp, calamari, mussels, all cooked to order and garnished with sourdough garlic crostini. Just the thing for a cool, rainy, foggy night.

Wow it has been a long week. It's time to treat yourself to everyone's favorite sea bass!
