For years, Indigenous has been known as one of America’s top restaurants, renowned for its passion for food, the community, and the planet. Indigenous’ menu of seasonal American cuisine changes progressively throughout the year based on peak ingredient availability.

At Indigenous, we are always working our best to create a better food system.

Wasn’t great. Food was avg at best. They try to be special, but don’t execute. The triple tail was fishy and old. Our waiter was a bit of a d!ck.

We had a very nice experience. The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. The only thing that would improve the experience would be a full bar and bread with dinner.
IndigenousResponded on September 23, 2024
We are ao glad you enjoyed your evening. We wish we could have a full bar, unfortunately they are not available in the city anymore due to new rules and regulations. Thank you for being our guests.

If you like to try new things, or experience a new twist on old things It’s a must do. I get surprised every time. The creativity and attention to detail is off the chart. There is a reason its called the best place in Sarasota.

We had a great experience. We went specifically for the burgers and they did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We finished off our meal with the delicious coconut sorbet.
