Native Fields

I have passed by this plaza so many times in my life, but did not know a place like this existed here. I was able to discover this place from Yelp when I tried to look for different food to try around the area. Great to see that this place has options for people that are Vegan or Vegetarian. The food here seems to be quite healthy and note that it is fused with other types of cuisines. One thing to note is that it could get quite pricey, but you get what you paid for. Food So I ended ordering a few dishes for me and my family. Korean Braised Brisket- This dish was a bit underwhelming. Don't get me wrong but I just felt like there needed to be some sauce or something more for this bowl. The Beef brisket had the flavor in it's fat but was lacking on the meat itself. Just have higher expectations for a $18 bowl. Kids Grilled Chicken Tocino Bowl (I believe this isn't on the menu, great to have it suggested to us, since we have a kid that has an allergy to egg) - The chicken is excellent, and it was a great mix with the cauliflower! Broccolini and Mushroom Sandwich- This was a pretty good sandwich but also just probably needed a bit more sauce or something. One thing you HAVE to get is the potatoes, it was packed with flavor, and crispy. Thought the place looked cool, liked that they had a huge outdoor patio, it was just a bit hot the day we went, and the patio top can only shield so much of the sun. Overall it is a great place to try, and maybe if I am around in the area again, I can try some other things on the menu. Until then!

First let’s get this out of the way: this place is expensive. If it was in West LA, no one would bat an eye. But for this area, it’s pricey. Here’s the thing, there isn’t anything like this around here. This a high end gourmet farm to table spot set in a really hip space with fantastic service. When they opened shortly before the pandemic, I was really concerned they had missed the mark. I didn’t think enough people would value what they offer to make it successful. Thankfully, my fears have been assuaged. At 10:00am on a Thursday the place is at full capacity. I had the avocado and smoked salmon toast. It’s delicious. Thankfully enough people value a great restaurant experience and are willing to pay for it. Hats off. HIGHLY recommended. P.S. Great soundtrack in the background and an excellent, eclectic wine list too.

Many food options in their menu using avocado which was awesome. We came at 1pm on Sunday, waited almost 1 hour which is fine and waiter said they don't have Peruvian chicken & calamari. Ok, no problem. We ordered Smoked salmon avocado toast, Dungeness crab avocado toast & Lamb meatball shatsuka. Few minutes later waiter came back. They don't have Lamb meatball. We replace it with Dungeness crab avocado toast, so it's 2 Dungeness crab avocado. Few minutes later he came back again and said they are out of avocado! And only 1 out 3 menu can have avocado. Mind you it's only noon on a weekend! After waiting for 1 hour we were all hungry, and settle with 1 menu that has avocado and replace the other one with something else. They have refrigerator like farmers market style filled with veggies & tomato. I wonder why they don't have avocado in their shelf instead, considering they have many dishes with avocado in their menu. As for price, not too bad,, we spent $144 after tax & tips for 6 dishes.

Went there last night with my best friend, we were invited in by the friendly and gracious owner! It felt like such a VIP experience. We had excellent squid ink pasta with shrimp and lemon, and my friend had the pork belly with rice and marinated eggs. This place is a truly positive experience which will make you say, "Damn, that was worth the money!" The beer is excellent, the food is superb, everything is locally sourced (including the alcohol), and they even have a section upfront with quality olive oil, cheese, pasta, and heirloom tomatoes. To top it all off, the service is legendary (thank you Cameron, you are great)! If you want a superb and intimate experience, please take the time to visit this hidden jewel.

Really enjoyed my visit to Native Fields! I was surprised such a quaint little restaurant. Food, service, and ambience were excellent. FOOD: We got the ricotta cheese pancakes which were very fluffy and not too sweet. We also got the breakfast plate which was probably the better of the two. Potatoes were crispy and cooked perfectly as well as the eggs. For two people, both of these dishes were more than enough food to share. SERVICE: Everyone was very kind and gracious. Our server was kind enough to go through the menu with us. PRICE: A little on the pricier side but I believe the food was well worth it!

Rarely do I leave reviews but we just had such a negative experience here w family on a quiet Sunday morning I just had to comment. For starters, we waited forever to be seated despite plenty of empty tables (it didn’t seem to matter that we had a toddler and two seniors in our group). When we were finally seated we ordered immediately because it had already been so much time- and then we waited an hour for the food to come out. We were literally about to walk out when the food finally came out. The irony and sad thing is that the food was pretty decent, but we weren’t in a mood to enjoy it at that point and left without finishing it. Either hire more staff or train them to be more prompt and attentive. Regardless, we won’t be coming back.
