About Native Son

Native Son is a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, from breakfast plates like gravlox to pork chops and charcuterie boards. The food is generally well-received, with the salmon and pork chop being cooked well, and the charcuterie board being standard but good. The service is described as welcoming and attentive, with staff catering to customers' specific orders, particularly noting Adriana's friendly and knowledgeable service.

The location is contemporary, beautiful, and sophisticated, with real plants adding a nice touch. Customers have been pleasantly surprised to find this place in this part of California and plan to return, perhaps even spending a weekend in the nearby hotel to enjoy the restaurants in the neighborhood. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with great music playing, making it a great place for drinks and friendly conversation.

Customers have praised the amazing food and the cute atmosphere. They highly recommend the spinach dip and have enjoyed unique drinks like the banana matcha and the Carmel latte, which is said to taste like fall. The "Wind Down Wednesday" offering of a selected glass of wine and a mini charcuterie plate has also been a hit, contributing to an enjoyable experience that encourages many to return.

Here are just a few of the issues we experienced. But first I want to compliment the valet service. They were outstanding. The shining light in this. It was a pleasure to tip our valet handsomely.

I reached out to the coordinators that were present at our daughters request to insure the wedding was correctly set and to friends who pitched in at the last minute because of the lack of attention from the hotel and event staff and learned about issues they handled .

Love the rooms and the staff. The food at the cafe is also awesome. Especially the burger.

Wonderfully remodeled in 2021. Very upscale for Merced! We will stay here again
