    Lox Avocado Toast
    Lisa C.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    Sweet Potato Tacos

    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!

    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!

    Chef's Island Ranch Salad
    Valerie A.

    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.

    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.

    So impressed with this gluten free restaurant. The food was so delicious, ambience inspiring with live plants everywhere and an amazing staff! Highly recommended this hidden gem in a busy shopping center.

    Loco Moco
    Lindsey C.

    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.

    Inside decor
    Melanie R.

    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!

    Lynda L.

    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!

    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.

I especially liked that the menu has enough variety for different tastes without feeling overwhelming. The location is also convenient, and the dining room has a comfortable, relaxed feel. Even when it was busy, the experience still felt organized and the staff seemed to handle everything well. Prices are a little higher than a basic casual restaurant, but considering the atmosphere, service, and food quality, I thought it was fair overall. Overall, South Fork Grille is a dependable spot in El Dorado Hills if you want good food, friendly service, and a nicer atmosphere without going somewhere overly fancy. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu.

Once we all looked over the menu for a bit we ordered the following: Drinks: Spicy Mango Margarita Appetizers: Bread Kung Pao Calamari Filet Mignon (x2) 16 oz Ribeye Dessert: Hazelnut Cheesecake Drinks were first and then came the appetizers. Both were really good and I really enjoyed the spicy Margarita. My partner paired wine with her Filet Mignon dish. I had the 16 oz Ribeye, I ordered it medium but it was more medium-well/well overall. But the thickest portions were for sure medium, so it was still enjoyable, but a little more cooked than I'd prefer. The desserts were good too, my father got the Hazelnut Cheesecake and my partner got the Blueberry Cheesecake. Overall: Glad to have finally dined here, and enjoyed our food, the seating out on the patio, and our service from our waitress. All made for a really nice Father's Day dinner with family!

I ordered spinach sub, instead of the asparagus, due to dietary restrictions. OMG my first fork full brought me back to Honolulu, HI! The macadamia nuts were candied on top of the sea bass, making this the BEST sea bass with macadamia nut dish I have ever eaten outside of HI! My mom took one bite and decided to order this plate for herself because it is THAT rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced with the flavors of the spinach, rice, and sea bass. The sea bass is extremely flaky, to add to why this is my new favorite dish in Land Ocean! My parents gave me their roasted chicken leftovers to take home, since this entree is with generous portions, so I was spoiled with Land Ocean for a meal at home the next day. The chicken and mashed potatoes are so savory to the point that I ate every piece of meat I could from the bone! My parents came from out of town to visit.

It was a nice shaded corner and it gave some privacy from the plants that were decorated along the entry way. The menu was small and interesting. First hour is happy hour $2 off drinks and $10 off food. I'd say this place is perfect for drinks and apps. There isn't a big variety for entree's. But those appetizers were the show! Our Order: grilled riblets, garnish shrimp pieces, watermelon tomato salad beef sliders French fries and the blackened salmon. The ribs-10/10 fall off the bone seasoned well with some kind of green sauce at the bottom. The garlic shrimp- 10/10 in chili garlic oil with focaccia bread. Watermelon tomato salad- 10/10 feta cheese always takes the show! Beef sliders- 10/10 us just being greedy but so good. French fries- 9/10 decent portion! Blackened salmon- 8/10 compared to how flavorful the appetizer's were it made the salmon lack in taste. Something was missing but it was still good loved the coconut milk flavor in the jasmine rice! All in all 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

    We had such an uncomfortable experience here that we won't be returning or recommending it to…read moreothers. Between the awkward service and 1.5+ hour wait for food, this celebration didn't go the way we'd hoped. We had a 6:30 reservation for a party of 7 to celebrate my engagement with family visiting from out of town. We placed our order right away but didn't receive our food until after 8pm. To make matters worse, one plate was missing entirely, and that guest had to wait an additional 20 minutes for it to arrive. The server was apologetic about the wait and offered to comp our desserts as a gesture of goodwill, which we appreciated. When the final plate arrived, we were quietly discussing the $3 avocado upcharge among ourselves, since the tacos came with barely a sliver of avocado. The server apparently overheard us, because she returned moments later, silently set down a small plate with extra avocado next to our food, and walked away without a word. The gesture felt pointed rather than helpful, and it left the table feeling uneasy. The food and drinks themselves were decent. But by 8:45, we didn't want to wait even longer for the comped desserts, so I asked if we could have our drinks comped instead, since a couple of the cocktails were priced similarly to the desserts (which ran up to $16). The server seemed uncomfortable and said she could only comp two desserts, offering 10% off the bill instead. This wasn't what had been discussed earlier, but at that point we just wanted to wrap up the night, especially since my parents had a long drive ahead. Given the service, we'd quietly decided as a table not to leave an additional tip, only to find a 20% automatic service charge already added for large parties. This came as a surprise since it wasn't disclosed anywhere on the menu. It's a shame, because it's genuinely a charming space. Unfortunately, the service that night fell short, and it really affected what should have been a special evening.
