I did the vegan tasting menu and my husband did the meat tasting menu and they were both incredible. You cannot share because the portions are small but the flavor is worth it. We added on the wine pairing and it was all very well thought out!

We really liked the atmosphere and the service was all EXCELLENT. Like 5 stars. We really liked everyone and felt well taken care of. The food presentations on both menus were absolutely tasteful looking, stunning and beautifully executed …some of the best I’ve seen..… but we found the food to be a bit too salty on a few dishes and many of the complex combinations just didn’t come together on the palette. Sometimes less is more and the main ingredient can get overpowered by too many other ingredients. Although we appreciated the creativity, service, ambience and presentations the flavors just didn’t match everything else being offered.

A little over priced. The ambiance of this place doesn’t support the prices. I didn’t have the wow factor

We've been to Nature several times and did the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing, for my partner's birthday. She selected the vegan option, while I chose the courses offered with meat. Both were out of this world! Each course was paired with a specially selected wine and were unbelievable! The dishes, while small in size, were absolutely delicious and by the end, quite filling. Each course was a little culinary masterpiece bursting with a variety of flavors that you would normally not expect to go together, but did so perfectly! This is probably why we keep coming back! There are also very few places offering vegan options, so Nature is a "must go" for foodies who want a beautiful experience and incredible dishes!
