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!

My wife and I especially enjoyed the fried mushrooms. My grilled salmon was a little bit salty, but otherwise well cooked with a nice outer crust. My wife thought the chicken alfredo was ok. Not the best she's had, not the worst. However, it was served almost boiling hot. We both enjoyed the New York cheesecake. The service was very good, and the atmosphere is warm with lots of rich wood finishes.

Our experience was exceptional. The restaurant was lovely, perfectly clean and most pleasing. Our drink, appetizers, meal and desert was more than what we cold have hoped for. We totally enjoyed ourselves. Our waiter, Madeline was professional, attentive and very friendly. We will be back again and again. Pricing was extremely reasonable. I absolutely give a well earned 5 ⭐️s to 111 Palms.
