    Great experience at next door. We got a shrimp tempura roll, 10/10, very fresh, and the pork gyoza 7/10. Gyoza was a little too salty. We split the ribeye and branzino and a half order of the truffle Mac and cheese, all 10/10, so flavorful and delicious. Ended with homemade vanilla ice cream, also 10/10. Sat in the room off the bar. Great date night dinner!

    The atmosphere was Lively and vibrant with a wonderful diverse group of diners and patrons. We were checked in immediately and brought right to our table where we were greeted by our server (Erin) and the person feeling the water glasses. Service was spot on the food was amazing we all had something different the shrimp penne was done perfectly my pork chop was both tasty and cooked to perfection and our other friend had the salmon, it looked beautiful and she loved it .. cocktails were spot on and the Hand stuffed blue cheese olives for my slightly dirty martini were welcomed! I was so happy to see how Lively and healthy business they are doing and looking forward to going back. We frequent Label quite often because it's close to home but happened to be downtown for an event so Native was the perfect choice!

    Flight West was my first choice for our anniversary dinner. Such a cool vibe. Intimate seating. Even when the place is packed and it is noisy it feels like you’re alone with your significant other. Gigi was our server and she is fantastic. She suggested options for cocktails and dinner that we enjoyed very much. The burger is always top notch and so are the wings so you can’t go wrong with either.
