About

Native Cave is a hit for its viral seafood boil, which many diners find to be a fun, social, and tasty experience. While the food quality and portion sizes generally offer great bang for the buck, consistency is a recurring issue. Some guests report excellent, attentive service, while others have faced rude staff, long waits, and booking errors. The basement setting provides a cool vibe, though the main floor can feel a bit dark. Overall, it is a popular spot for a unique meal, provided you catch them on a good day.
