    Everything was fantastic. From the moment I made our reservations. All the way through dessert! Our server was new, but you would not have known it. She was on top of everything.

    Here I am as a full grown adult to write a rave review about chicken strips and fries. 😂 I never order them anywhere but they’re SO GOOD at Native Son I can’t resist. And the musician last night was probably my favorite I’ve heard there. 10/10 experience last night and every night!

    Limited but adequate menu choices. Excellent food. Seating is a bit too cozy but we were there for a special event so not a big deal. The best service anyone could ask for. Definitely will be back...
