Swap the color palette for the taste palate at Tzeva Restaurant
The Mediterranean and Israeli-inspired menu evokes diverse influences by Executive Chef Ken Shiro Lumpkin. Amusingly, being raised in a traditional Japanese household steeped in generations of old family recipes influences Chef Shiro Lumpkin’s technique. Each dish collaborates cultures into a unique, communal experience, much like the art you’ll find throughout Art Ovation Hotel.
Tzeva Restaurant states, “Like the frequently changing local art featured throughout its surroundings, Tzeva’s menu reflects a culinary artistry that shifts with the seasons and features a style of dining that encourages sharing and the passing of plates to create a sense of community around the table.”
At Tzeva, indulge in signature dishes like Moroccan Chicken (spiced spatchcock whole chicken, kataifi nest, herbs, crispy garlic), Wagyu Skirt Steak (traditional tare, lentil dahl, miso mustard sauce, black garlic gremolata, chermoula toum), and Grouper Shashlik (smoked tomato chutney, fennel-orange salad, kabocha purée). All the flavors and influences of the cuisines make for a playful wanderlust on your palate.
