"My husband and I had the Lobster Tail, Salmon, and Shrimp Skewer special tonight. We really enjoyed it and left stuffed. The salmon was especially good along with the brussel sprouts and fried green beans. The price was good for all that came with it. We sat at the table in the bar area and the bartender served us well. We will become a regular for sure. Thanks for a nice night. There were a lot of customers with only one table being open. Great job!"

"I had the prime rib with the asparagus and it came with a side salad. The prime rib was probably the best I had in a long time if not ever. I sat at the bar, the bartender was very knowledgeable and polite. She never kept me waiting. The atmosphere was gorgeous, food was amazing, service was friendly and outstanding. I will definitely be back. Sadly I don’t have a pic of my meal."

"The food was microwaved. Sub par. Prime rib was microwaved. Brussel sprouts were room temp. I didn’t ask for comp because it was our first visit, but no comp was offered and I sent half of my 8 oz prime rib back with request it be shown to manager. Really disappointed. Party of 4. None of us will go back. Very sad. I see my review got a lame apology and standard dismissal of “well we do better if people complain to the right person”. I brought this to the waitresses attention while there and she stated the manager was present and she let them know. I’m not buying excuses. We were there at 430 pm, only 5 tables had guests. For added context: moms prime rib was grey and although leaner it was also cold and rather tough. Dads prime rib was much the same as mine. The salad greens were fresh but were served swimming in dressing. (Stick with ranch as the blue cheese isn’t very good.) Their sides were room temp. The Bloody Mary was good. Beer was cold. The waitress was friendly and quick. The smash burger was good after removing items that were requested on the side and the fries were not hot. The Manhattan was strong but cloying with juice or sweetener added. We did not order an appetizer. The bill was a little over $130 which would not be bad at all if the food were good."

"Great place. Great food, very pricey tho."

"Native is a great addition to The World Shooting Complex. It's a little out of the way but the lobster risotto is definitely worth the 1 1/2 hour drive from home. The food & service was excellent both times I've eaten here."
