Tangata

Tangata (or "mankind" in the tribal Maori language of New Zealand) features Southwestern decor enclosed by glass walls and a ceiling framed with stuccoed beams and large windows to allow ambient light to illuminate the main dining area. Located in the Bowers Museum's mission-style courtyard, the 160-seat restaurant dedicates half of its available seating to al fresco dining on a large patio area. The patio area opens into the mission-style courtyard that is perfect for romantic weddings or evening receptions. Tangata is open solely for lunch Tuesdays through Sundays and serves a diverse menu of California cuisine "colored" with Chef Joachim Splichal's award-winning French signature style.

GREGG WIELE Executive Chef - Tangata Forsaking crowded skies for a crowded dining room, Gregg Wiele has been a part of Patina Restaurant Group since he left the U.S. Air Force Academy. Spending much of his time cooking at the San Francisco Opera House, he was quickly absorbed into the vast culinary diversity around Northern California. He considers cooking to be an art form, saying "some artists work with paint, others with clay. I create art on a plate." His cuisine is Californian, with European and Asian influences. Wiele enjoys eating and serving small plates so people can enjoy a variety of tastes, textures and flavors.
