Upon recommendation, we celebrated our son’s 21st birthday at Native Rochester. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. We will definitely be back again!

Delicious food and an amazing waitress! I’d tread lightly if you have food intolerances, allergies or sensitivities. Requests for food to be redone lead to a meal coming back after the rest of the party had finished eating. Fantastic waitress, “steamed” steak was burnt, overall a mixed bag.

Waited 2-1/2 for dinner only to be served an entire not ordered. Management was called over and we were told we ordered off their summer menu. We were given these menus when seated. She then asked if the enter was good? We ordered pork and was served beef. Asked for our bill and told her we would pay for our drink and salad but that would be it. She told us they had a very busy night and promptly walked away. In 68 years we have never had this experience at a restaurant.

Went to Natives last night in DownTown Rochester. Again with the amazing menu. My goal is to have 1 of everything eventually. Never a disappointment, my wife and I did our Gender Reveal here but just the two of us. Nothing crazy and will always come back. Definitely a special place for us.

If I could give the service 0 stars. I would. I have never had such a poor experience with a waitress. We arrived to Native at 7:00pm for our 7:15pm reservation. The hostess was incredibly unfriendly and not welcoming. We sat at the bar while we waited for our table. The bartenders were great, very attentive and the drinks were good. We sat down and our waitress did not come to our table for 15 minutes… and that’s a generous statement. When she finally came over, she was also unfriendly. We ordered the Burrata and Seafood dip as an appetizer. The apps took 45 minutes to come out and they were cold and quite frankly disgusting, the presentation was awful (pictures for reference). The entire time we waited for our appetizers, our waitress did not check on us once or come over to apologize for the wait. It is important to note, the restaurant was not busy. We were finally able to order our entrees and we waited another 45 minutes for our food to come out. The entrees were cold and the food was inedible. We ordered Confit Chicken that was over cooked and crunchy. A midtown burger that was clearly a frozen burger. And the Short Rib Ragu which was so unappetizing. Our bill was $145 for disgusting food and the worst service I’ve ever received at a restaurant. I will never be back and I will be sure to tell others about this experience. Incredibly disappointing and disgusting. 0/5 stars.

New place to my knowledge. Stopped in for a holiday party. We had a good amount of wine, nice selection and ate the crab cakes. Those were very good. Saw a cocktail made with smoke. Smelled amazing. Staff were great and the overall ambiance was good. I'd go back just to try more of the food.
Stopped back in again , great experience again ! Amazing food and cocktails. Worth a stop in !

Phenomenal outdoor seating and even indoor when the doors are open. Loved the menu options. Food was really well made especially the pizzas which come with a crisp sourdough base. Definitely go for lunch in a beautiful summer day.

Fun place, especially on nice nights when they can open the walls to the patios and create an indoor/outdoor feel. Cocktails and bar choices are great, and menu variety makes this very flexible dining option - from salads and pizzas to steaks and seafood entrees. Great for pre Geva theater. Also one the few good places open for lunch downtown. A dependable and respectable option, good for date night or client entertainment.

Went here for a work event for drinks and appetizers. The area was really nice and the outdoor seating was perfect for the warm weather. The drinks were well balanced and prices comparably with other nice resturaunts. I only had appetizers which were hit and miss. The sliders were overcooked, mini pizzas were pretty bland, but the falafel was perfect. I would go back to try dinner plates and grab a drink.
Native is awesome! Their cocktails are fantastic, first of all. I definitely will need to try some of the different ones they have next time. They had one of my all-time favorite appetizers - whipped feta! So delicious! And the food was amazing too! An amazing atmosphere - they open the walls up on nice days - and amazing food! Great service too! Such fantastic employees. I can't wait to go back to try more!

The wife and myself didn’t feel like cooking one night after work so we did a google search for good restaurants near us and found Native. We were delighted by the delicious cuisine we were served. The waitress went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was great! We will definitely be returning for another fantastic meal in the near future!

The food was incredibly fresh and delicious! However, the 40-minute wait for our meals was a bit excessive, especially during our lunch break. It would be beneficial if the restaurant could be more mindful of our corporate lunch time constraints, as many patrons had to opt for takeout due to time limitations. Can't wait to try it again!
