We took friends tonight that had never been to Native Son and they loved it as much as we do! We had the strip and the red fish, always delicious! The service was great and the vibe was big city fun yet intimate. If you haven’t been, just GO!

Everything was fantastic. From the moment I made our reservations. All the way through dessert! Our server was new, but you would not have known it. She was on top of everything.

Here I am as a full grown adult to write a rave review about chicken strips and fries. 😂 I never order them anywhere but they’re SO GOOD at Native Son I can’t resist. And the musician last night was probably my favorite I’ve heard there. 10/10 experience last night and every night!
