We had a wonderful lunch at Native + Nomad today. We were greeted and seated right away. The inside is very inviting with beautiful plants. We sat outside. The server was friendly and helpful. The table was very pretty with nice cloth napkins, dishes, silverware and water glasses. I enjoyed the aesthetic. We ordered oysters to start which were delicious and served with a refreshing citrus dressing. We ordered a burger and pulled pork with slaw on the side. We shared both items. Everything was very tasty and fresh. I'm not usually a fan of gluten free as I bake my own sourdough but I have to say their bread was exceptional. We found the prices reasonable for the high quality. Can't wait to go back.
Very nice place to have lunch with a friend. The outside tables are dog-friendly. Service was good. The mahi mahi tacos were well filled and delicious. My dining companion.was happy with his chicken tacos. They brought out a water bowl for our canine family member (the day was hot and sunny.) The server was attentive checked in on us throughout the meal.
This is our second trip to Native + Nomad and it is wonderful on every level! It is a bit pricey but comparable to other places in the same location. The service was warm and friendly. The vibe is serene. We would gladly pay double for such amazing gluten free food. Both my daughter and I are gf and it is priceless to be able to eat anything on the menu! We will return.... Many times!
1/22/26 We really wanted to like this cute restaurant that we bookmarked a few months ago! It's got a great menu full of fusion options. We stopped in at 11:30am on a Thursday thinking we're beating the lunch rush to try to maximize our lunch hour visit. Staff were so friendly which we appreciate. There was only one other table in front of us. It took awhile for our food to come out. We ordered the Hawaiian plate and the chef's ktown bibimbap. Our plates came out at 12:10 giving us only 20 mins to eat and head back to work. :( I was able to try my lunch date's Hawaiian plate had a yummy green sauce and my fave was the broccolini and the prawns. The meat was either salty or too sweet. I think the coconut rice flavor addition was too much for this plate with the various flavor profile combinations. He should have went plain rice IMO! As for my Bibimbap- there was way too much pickled options (house Kim chi and suno mono) in my chef's ktown bibimbap plate that I wasn't able to finish it. I really liked the mushrooms. I did ask for quinoa mixed with rice. An overall 3.5 rating from us for this visit. I had to rush out back to work so left my lunch date to cover the tab. I'd love to come back and try loco moco and their happy hour menu! Until next time.
I've been here before and honestly had an attitude about the small menu and that it's fusion and seafood based (I am not a big fan of fusion or seafood). But the ambiance is lovely, so many plants, beautiful! The staff is very nice also. I didn't want to come a second time but I was in the area while my car was being serviced so I walked around. It was early in the day and not much else was open. I noticed their menu outside and that they have a BLT, great for my simple tastes. I sat down and wanted some juice, she recommended a mocktail of blended juice and it was friggin amazing. Also it was so well presented, cute as h*ll. I ordered the BLT and the flavors complimented each other so well. The aioli was amazing and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The avocado, lettuce, and tomato were super fresh. The bread was an almost biscuit consistency and fell apart pretty easy. And the sandwich itself was hard to bite since it was so tall. I ended up using a knife and fork but thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. It comes with a side of Mac salad or slaw. I chose Mac salad as she advised me the slaw has onions. I'm not a huge fan of Mac salad but the noodles were well cooked and the dressing had a bit of a kick, I feel a Mac salad liking person would really enjoy this. I haven't explored the drink menu yet but I think I will come back to see about the cocktails since I know I can be boring with my ordering.
Visited this place with my guest during lunch and so glad I did! While prices are a little on the higher side for the smaller plates they serve, the quality was on point and the flavor was great! The service was excellent and the flavor of the food was excellent. The chicken was so tender and the coconut shrimp made a little different than what I'm used to but overall really good. Will definitely be back again! The ambiance was great downtown small and intimate atmosphere. Very cool place to enjoy and have a nice quality meal.
Such a cute restaurant in El Dorado Hills and townCenter. I finally tried this restaurant that my friend has been recommending and I'm glad we tried it yesterday. I had the coconut prawns and my husband had the Hawaiian barbecue plate both were super delicious and tasty and they felt so fresh and clean to eat these meals. I definitely recommend this restaurant with the amazing service, delicious food, and wonderful views
Once again Yelp, and a local principal, came through with a great little restaurant! Very tropical feel, and the ladies there are super nice! Hawaiian flair food. The homemade spam was excellent, could use a bit more rice to go with it. I had pork belly tacos and they were good. My daughter had the poke' nachos, and they were good, but she wished they were on won ton chips instead of tortilla chips. All in all, we would go back for sure! Oh and they have cool drinks for happy hour!
Hard to believe that this was my first time eating here. Came with a friend for lunch and was so glad we did! The vibe is so beautiful, very hip, lots of beautiful plants and decor while remaining clean and inviting. I knew it was all gluten-free but hadn't realized the Hawaiian spin but I love it. It's all kinds of food I love to eat. I was tempted to try the Cloud Poke (and I will come back for that!) but once I saw the Chef's Island Salad that someone else had ordered I knew I had to get it too. It was incredible - lots of avocado, carrot, lettuce, perfectly dressed and an enormous portion of the huli-huli chicken, which was so tender and flavorful. I couldn't begin to eat all of it so I took some of it home. The prices aren't cheap but for the quality and the portion I thought they were completely fair. Our server was super friendly and helpful too and she added to the great atmosphere. The place is small so make a reservation but don't let that stop you from checking it out. I can't wait to come back.
Had dinner at Native & Nomad with a friend, and it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The fish tacos and mushroom tacos were both outstanding, the poke bowl was incredibly fresh, and the sweet potato & avocado bowl (not pictured!) was just as delicious. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service was friendly and attentive, and even the mocktails were creative and refreshing. If you're looking for a place with amazing food, a great atmosphere, and excellent service, I highly recommend Native & Nomad. We'll definitely be back!
Small portions. It used to be I could say bang for your buck. But quality, quantity, and service has all gone down. We were so hungry by the time we got our food that we forgot to take pictures not that they would've been worth it. We are going to wait a few few months to go back to see if there are any improvements if not, it will be our last time going. We used to go at least twice a month.
Came in for an early dinner after a hike and swimming. Dining area was all but empty when we arrived, but features lush house plants and reggae vibes. At a prior visit we had this awesome server who told us the place has grow lights keeping it lush. Gives it a hipster vibe reminiscent of Portland pre-covid. The outdoor patio was more extensive than the two small tables featured out front of the store. It wraps around the side of the restaurant. I think we will sit outside next time. The Loco Moco is always a hit. It comes with a salty, heart brown gravy over a thick burger patty and meaty maitake mushrooms and rice. 10/10. The gravy with the mushrooms and the beef is a great combo. I think I'll try it with coconut rice next time. The POG and Maverick Margaritas also hit, and are upscale pretentious cocktails. The Maverick is some kind of classy clarified Margarita over a very large ice cube with salt rim. The POG is passion orange guava juice with lime and a tajin rim, not too sweet but flavorful. I tried the Miso Mahi Mahi with Coconut Rice today to switch it up. It comes over a bed of carrots and caramelized red onions. It was quite good. My favorite is still the Loco Moco. We tried the coconut prawns and they were not what we anticipated. They are not the traditional friend panko and coconut you'd expect. This is a coconut shrimp cocktail. No breading, just lukewarm limp shrimp with a coconut cream based sauce poured over and some type of slaw. I prefer the traditional serving, but I applaud the creativity. Stick with the signature cocktails and Loco Moco and try the patio.
I've had this place on my list of places to try in the area, and I am really glad I did! It was really easy to make a reservation. The ambiance inside is delightful- clean, open, bright, tastefully decorated. We ordered cold brew coffee with coconut cream which was delicious. We also had the Poke Nachos which were phenomenal! Crispy tortilla chips, incredible fresh poke, avocado, cucumber, mango, and the sauces complimented the toppings really well. The ratio of chips to sauce to toppings was perfect, which is surprising difficult to find! Overall I will definitely be back here and can't wait to try one of their delicious looking cocktails!

Amazing gluten free menu. Amazing and delicious food!!! Cute little establishment in the El Dorado Town Plaza. Size of a little cafe maybe. A couple tables outside. Small little bar for some drinks. Server was very nice. First time I had them was for take out and I like it so much that I had to go back and dine in! Grilled oysters were good, but I didn't like the Parmesan that was in it, I think?. Yuzu mahi was sooooo good! I ate the entire plate and could have licked it. They actually ran out nothing sauce and used an aioli sauce that paired very well. Mahi fish is like the steak of the fish to me, so it was very filling. Coconut rice has coconut shavings in it and made it ten times better. The Hawaiian bbq was sooooo much better fresh in person. I had it as a take out and it was good, but so much better fresh. This will now be a go to restaurant for Me. read more

The food was uhhhhmazing. The service as incredible. The vibe is super chill and inviting. My hubs is not a gluten free guy but he thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails, the appetizer (coconut prawns), the entrees (loco moco and Kona Melt on focaccia bread with the Mac Salad side ... were ALL incredible), and the complimentary birthday dessert was the icing on the cake! read more

If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I would! Service: amazing. Food: clean, perfect portions, great prices, and most important of all, tastes so good! High recommend getting any bowl with the coconut rice and the coconut-limeade with or without alcohol. Ambiance: great music, boho vibes, perfect for a nice lunch out. The greenery really tops it off and makes it more lively! 10/10 would come here again. read more

Visited Almighty this week and it was amazing! Had one of my favorite dishes, Mahi Mahi, along with a Mai Thi and it as spectacular. The staff was fantastic and guided us through a few things in the menu. There were plenty of people there but the service as spot on and fast. Check it out! read more

Had a great lunch here, Ono chicken 8/10 Beef Kali Ba 9.5/10 Super excited to try out more on their menu! Food is really high quality, but you do pay a bit of a premium for it. $50.41 for just the two meals before tip. Ono chicken could have used a sauce in my opinion, however it was very tender and flavorful read more
We thought to drop in on Saturday night to try more Hawaiian fusion favorites! Locomoco is a favorite, asked for extra gravy which was so much more enjoyable! Mac salad was seasoned well and had a nice texture! Chicken teriyaki was so tender and easily shredding with each bite, great flavor! All dishes were so delish! This place never disappoints! Service is always on point with friendliness and efficiency! I also enjoy the interior decor: light fixtures and many varieties of plants! Super cozy and also serves creative cocktails, wine or canned beer! Yum!! read more

I had the peanut curry and all the veggies tasted fresh and amazing! The coconut rice is a definite to get item! The mai tai was great! Will come back! read more
I came in because I saw the positive Yelp reviews, and Almighty Bistro did not disappoint. As someone with a gluten allergy, I LOVE fact that the entire menu is gluten-free! I ordered the K-Town tacos (Korean bbq inspired asada - grilled beef) were fantastic! It comes with 2 for $15, which is on the pricey side, but each comes with a hearty portion of meat. I added on the cucumber side for $3. I would order this again. 9/10 I also got a cocktail that was Yuzu Gin Margarita (Happy Hour) that was not too sweet and quite strong, $9. 8/10 Would probably opt for something fruitier next time just because of my preference for sweeter cocktails. Excellent service. The waiter left the large glass bottle of water on our table for our convenience, but she was so attentive and would refill our water glasses -- even while the restaurant was full. Really felt welcomed and comfortable here, thank you! 10/10 The space has such a cute and cozy atmosphere with cushioned chairs, wicker lamps, and lots of plants decorating the restaurant. Will definitely come back to try more food and drinks whenever I'm in the EDH. read more
Ben here a few times and has been absolutely spot on each time. Leaving a review after dropping in and sitting at the bar. Great experience with Gabby making drinks, laughing at our jokes, and good happy hour tasty chow hitting our bellies. Gluten free menu... check it out before you go. If you like poke bowls, the almighty is amazing!!! Quick friendly service in a great spot!! Love the location and atmosphere!! read more
This place is a fantastic addition to this area! They were lacking something that wasn't heavy or American!! This is so fresh and delicious! The staff is wonderful, and the ambiance is insanely cute. And transports you to a tropical environment! The food was yummy and felt very clean and refreshing! I would absolutely return and recommend to others! read more
My 2nd time here and it's absolutely amazing.... the food is so clean tasting and great flavors!!!! The place is beautiful inside and the service was wonderful. Wish we lived closer but will definitely continue to stop in when we r in the area! read more

What kind of gluten-free flour is used? I'm allergic to nuts and tree nuts so I need to know what bread dishes to avoid.
Do you need a reservation or do they accept walk-ins?
Walk ins only and first come first serve. Reservations are for 4 ppl from 5:30-7:30 and 6 ppl from 7:30-8. The restaurants is smaller and that's why reservations don't work.
