SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Tomorrow, April 25, Springfieldians will get a new cultural dining experience to enjoy.

The restaurant is called 65° Tapas and as its name suggests, it will focus on Spanish tapas. Tapas are small-plate creations similar to hors d’oeuvre.

Area restaurant blogger 417 Foodist visited the restaurant during a soft opening, where he was able to enjoy menu items such as bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese topped with honey lemon chili, char-grilled oysters in herb butter and grilled lamb lollipop with parsley pesto and port wine reduction.
