   Food is exceptional and creative, service is excellent and attentive, even on an unusually cold night outside seating was fine.

   I hadn’t been here for a few years and was happy to see that it’s just as good as it’s always been. Three of us enjoyed delicious meals. The Parmesan beignets were amazing! One in our group raved about the mushroom soup. Also – I always recommend getting their homemade ice cream for dessert.

   We had a nice dinner at Indigenous. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant offers a nice setting for an intimate dining experience. We were surprised that the menu only offered fish options from half way around the world: salmon from New Zealand and kampachi from Hawaii, when we are literally a few hundred yards from the Gulf of Mexico. How about using fish from local fishermen? This being said, the chef did a great job and the food was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the green curry fish dip even though we were not sure where that fish was from…

   The food is good not spectacular. Ambiance is nice. The disappointment is having to give a credit card to hold a reservation with the threat of a fee if needing to cancel. Another example of corporate greed over personal customer experience. Because of that probably wouldn’t recommend to others.
   

   IndigenousResponded on December 17, 2024

   We are not a corporate restaurant. The fee is only charged when you do not call or cancel yourself within 24 hours of your reservation. Happy Holidays Jonathan.

    Sitting by the hvac system on front porch was louder than desired. Other than that, food was good and service was excellent.

    We are sorry that the AC unit outside was interfering with your experience. We have not had any problems with that before, but we will look into seeing why the noise was so loud. We hope to have you dine again with us, and we will be sure to address your seating arrangements.
