    Food was delicious as was my gin & tonic--it wasn't watered down. My two friends and I found the music to be too loud for easy conversation. One friend waited an exceptionally long time for her dessert, but said the warm banana pudding brulee was very good. Friendly, attentive staff. Overall, we had a lovely time and we will be back.

    We love Native Son. The food options, creative drinks, and welcoming services is unlike any other in our town. We had the redfish & steak with chicharrones and olive salad apps. Everything was excellent.

    Make sure and get a reservation for this quaint gem! Everything we ordered was superb, from cocktails to dessert. Hummus with grilled sourdough was 10/10, then we ordered four different entrees so we could try each one, again 10/10. Lastly, the banana pudding brought back my childhood. Owners were such a pleasure to talk to. We will be back!

    Had the pleasure of sitting at the bar for the New Year’s party and was not disappointed. We tried everything. I mean everything. I am craving the hummus still. Great family restaurant owned but some pretty good folks trying to do something great for their community and the dedication shows. Thank you for the amazing night and chef, thank you for filling us up! You nailed it.
