We were trying to figure out where to grab dinner one evening as it was getting late, and suddenly…read moreremembered that it had been quite a while since our last visit to Native. That was reason enough to head downtown and check it out again. It was a lovely, cool end‑of‑summer evening, and while the interior of the restaurant has a very cool vibe and décor, the patio was calling to us. Dining outside overlooking Geva Theatre, Washington Square Park, and the bustling intersection made for a perfect setting as the sun went down. We started with the Street Corn dip. One of our diners is vegetarian, so we asked for the bacon on the side, which they gladly accommodated. The dip--loaded with queso fresco, mozzarella, cheddar, jalapeños, scallion, and served with crostini--was incredibly craveable. We couldn't stop eating it, and the portion size was spot‑on for sharing. For mains, we enjoyed the Pasta Primavera (The Pasta Shoppe bucatini, pesto, shaved Brussels sprouts, cherry tomato, mushrooms, gremolata). The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the light, summery sauce with fresh veggies and bright flavors made this dish a standout. We also had the Heritage Pork Chop (14oz bone‑in chop, Dennis cherry black BBQ, tri‑colored potatoes, seasonal veg). The chop itself was beautifully cooked and paired with a lovely sauce. It was fantastic--but the seasonal vegetables actually stole the show. They were incredible and elevated the entire dish. Service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly. Between the gorgeous patio, the great food, and the relaxed sunset atmosphere, it turned into a truly lovely dinner. We're not sure why it had been so long since our last visit, but we definitely plan to remedy that. Native delivered a wonderful meal in a perfect downtown setting.

I ate here with 3 others a few nights back, had an overall good experience…read more We sat outside and it was a lovely evening. The back deck was full so we expected good service. Our server was very good, friendly and she checked on us often. One person ordered the Sunday sauce - this was a pile of cork-screw shaped pasta tossed in the sauce with cheese; I personally would have liked a side of extra sauce and either a meatball or a sausage, but the person who ordered it was happy - pasta cooked well, sauce tasted good, portion was huge so there were left overs. Another person ordered the roasted pork sandwich with the rapini greens, cheese and banana pepper mayo. This was on Salty Grains (?) bread. We had seen this featured on instagram by an influencer and it was delicious - rich and meaty, and big! We all had some and still the person who ordered it took half home. Another person got the gochujang ribs which was a good portion. The ribs did not come with any sides but that was ok. The eater expected the ribs to be more spicy but they were actually more sweet. Not in a bad way, just not what was expected with 'gochujang' in the name. The last diner had the burnt ends. These were also good, very flavorful and cooked well (ie not dry), but they could have been 'burnt' a little more. We also had an order of calamari and an order of the cauliflower bites. These were good for sharing, and came with dipping sauces. All of the food was solid. I would get the pork sammy again or try other dishes next time. This place is also easy to find and has a big parking lot. Sorry, no photos - it was a reunion dinner and we were chatting so much we forgot to snap pics!!

We advised and showed the server what we found and she said it appeared to be chicken. (It was inedible grissel) We have never experienced that with a Pizza and was potentially a health hazard. It did appear that they have declined since our last visit.

My main course was the gnochhi in red sauce with grilled chicken. It was flavorful, well seasoned. My husband had the special - a porkchop. It was very tender and well seasoned as well.

I am generally reluctant to order lobster bisque because so often it disappoints, but this was absolutely amazing, with chunks of lobster swimming in a wonderfully balanced bisque. The bread was warm and fresh. I also had the haddock French. A great sauce with properly prepared fish and pasta. The tiramisu was delicious as well, tho I ordered it more out of curiosity than because I needed more to eat. I waddled out very pleased with the food, the service, and knowing we'd be back soon.

While planning our dinner party months in advance, the communication from Janine was excellent. She helped us develop a 4-course menu that was sure to have something for everyone, including vegan and allergy friendly options. Amy was our server for the evening, and she ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. The chairs in the Meyer's Den are wide and comfortable, the decor is dark and classy, and being in the basement away from the dining room made it very quiet and easy to converse with family. The room is rather spacious for 12 guests, but could also accommodate a few more people without feeling cramped. Out of the appetizers we selected, the Charred Octopus was very popular and everyone enjoyed it...even those that had never previously eaten octopus. The baby cauliflower dish was also a beautiful presentation, and quite large and enjoyable. The salads, particularly the Charred Hurricane salad, were nice light courses before the entree was served. As for the entrees, the filet mignon was a little on the dry side, but we really enjoyed the light and crispy spinach fritters that accompanied the beef. The salmon was a generous portion of medium rare fish, and there was lot going on with that dish - spicy cauliflower and za'atar potatoes that had some mixed reviews. Folks who ordered the duck breast seemed to enjoy the complex preparation, which had asparagus, green beans, and two pureed sauces - cauliflower ginger and cherry-rhubarb. The doughnut bread pudding with apple pieces and vanilla ice cream was a delicious, decadent way to end the meal. We left rather stuffed, and delighted with the overall experience that allowed our family to celebrate together.

For appetizers, we got the roasted beets and the bone marrow. Both were good. I got the duck breast for entree and my friends got the carrot cavatelli and lobster bucatini. We all enjoyed our dishes. The duck was succulent and roasted just enough. The Brussel sprouts that came on the side were a disappointment though. For dessert, I ordered ricotta pine nut tart with lemon sorbet. The tart was very subtle in flavor but good. My friends ordered the bread pudding which was great as well. Overall, very satisfied with the food and service. Can be back!
