Invited a large group of customers to have a nice dinner in a private setting. Ordered many different cocktails and everyone was pretty happy. I ordered some kind of steak (hanger?)with creamed spinach - steak was still undercooked and underwhelming overall. Loved the fact that we had nice conversations. Dessert-creme brûlée.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Nice relaxing environment, not overly lit. There was a nice variety of drinks and food on the menu. Super friendly and attentive staff with timely service. Food came out hot and was delicious. One neat fact; is that they open up some glass walls when the weather is nice to give that outdoor dining feel and some fresh air! Will definitely be going back.

Our dining experiences at Native have consistently been exceptional. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a diverse range of options that cater to all preferences. Every dish I’ve tried has been flavorful, made with high-quality ingredients, and served in well-balanced portions. The service is equally impressive. The staff, including both servers and bartenders, are attentive, personable, and professional. I've particularly appreciated the engaging conversations with the bartenders while enjoying their expertly crafted cocktails and beverages. Their warmth and skill significantly enhance the overall dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is both comfortable and contemporary, making it suitable for a variety of guests—from families with children to couples on a romantic evening out. The space is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully organized, reflecting the high standards of a professional establishment. Native continues to be a favorite, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience.
