Our waitress was a no linger let's get the show on the road girl. I liked it. Put in the drinks, answered all questions without having to go and ask, told us the specials and had great suggestions. Quick service, drinks, and food. Now for the food. The salmon was done perfectly and she made sure to ask me exactly how I wanted it done. The salad was good, delicious Asian teriyaki dressing. The steak was virtually uneatable. Tough, and chewy. Had to discard almost all of it, discretely, since we were with another couple. Hence we never told our waitress. Great beer, cocktails & wine selection. I had the red cab Ross and it was very nice. I will try this place again. Love the location so many quaint shops are g and beautiful to walk around the canal.

The bar was definitely the best part. Bar tender was on the job, bar was crowded with March Madness fans watching the TVs and she spotted us right away and asked over the heads of the people lining the bar if we needed drinks. She was really good. Ithaca Nut Brown Ale on tap gets a thumbs up. For food I got a fish fry (Friday during lent) and wifey got a burger. Both were good, but not great. Same with the chicken wings. Nothing to complain about, but I've had better versions of everything other places (Angry Goat!).

First time visiting this restaurant and I'm a little surprised it's not rated higher. Making…read morereservations for 1pm on Mother's Day, we were immediately greeted. Requesting if the outdoor seating is available, the staff happily obliged. We started with a few appetizers which include their lobster bisque, potato skins and crab cakes. The lobster bisque was fantastic, and I was pleasantly surprised to see chunks of lobster meat throughout the soup. The crab cakes were packed with crab and had a crispy exterior and tender interior. Although I personally prefer my crab cakes pan-fried and these were deep fried, I actually found them very enjoyable. As for the potato skins, these were pretty standard and nothing to write home about. For mains, I opted in for one of their Mother's Day specials which was their prime rib. I found this to be incredibly tender. I did however find this to be under-seasoned and 30% of the prime rib to be pure fat, but nevertheless this was tasty. For dessert, I opted in for their vanilla creme brulee which was tasty. The consistency of the custard, I found to not be as smooth as I'm used to, but again nevertheless it was tasty. I have to point out the service and hospitality from Audrey (our Server), and Declan (helper) was impeccable. Audrey was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Both constantly checked up on us and made our experience even better. The atmosphere, along with the great food, and along with the great service, we'll definitely be back.

The cheese was melted too long because it was hard on the chips when served. Definitely not worth the $17 (no meat). We saw, we came, we will not come back.

From the moment we were seated, the service was very good. Our server/bartender was especially accommodating and even customized my cocktails to suit my taste. The food was equally enjoyable. The calamari was good, although I was disappointed that my favourite part -- the tentacles -- was missing! The eggplant, pizza, and meatballs were all very good and made for a great Happy Hour spread. For cocktails, I definitely enjoyed the Mama Picante much more than the Milan Mule. The Mama Picante had more of the flavour and personality I was looking for. Overall, a very good Happy Hour experience with accommodating service, tasty food, and some excellent cocktails. I'd definitely go back. Saluti.

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 asked to have bacon for the burger and tater tots very crispy came perfectly as ordered. As burgers go it was hand pressed and very tasty. My companion ordered the Pourman's Platter with a side order of the bacon, cabbage, Brussels sprouts hash. She liked it very much. My friend wanted to play the quick draw and was told very rudely by the bartender that he doesn't do anything with it, It's all done by a machine and brusquely pointed at the machine. When she went to check her ticket on the machine, it spit it out and sent an error message. Again ask the bartender for help to retrieve our her winnings, he said he really didn't know how to do it and he tells people just don't play. When she said the machine was sending an error message. He then took the card from her and suddenly knew how to check the ticket and give her the winnings. So why the subterfuge?? There was no need for the rudeness, and she felt disrespected. The surroundings are typical tavern vibe and seemed clean and ordered. Beside the bartender everything else was fine.
