I recently hosted a rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiance at Native Cafe. What a pleasant experience. What a cozy and comfortable private room we enjoyed. The attention to detail and the friendly service were much appreciated. The portions of food were quite generous and all the guests seemed to enjoy the ambiance and wine. The service was friendly and efficient. We filled their banquet room with 58 guests (max. is 60) and the set-up was lovely. I was invited to review the setup the night before so I would be comfortable with the room and how and where my quests would be seated. Individual menus were provided with several entree choices for my quests. I always felt that my budget was respected and my permission solicited to serve, clear, open wine, etc. throughout the evening. I was in control of my event and for that am most grateful. It was a memorable evening, with many compliments from guests. Not formal, but friendly and casual just as we had envisioned. Renee and Ron, the owners were personally attentive to our needs. We provided CDs of personally selected music - but the activity in the room (talking and chatting by the guests) drowned out whatever was playing. I would recommend the Native Cafe for events and would love to have one in smaller numbers in their front wine room. That room holds 30 or fewer guests, would be quieter and a little more intimate. It's difficult to get too intimate with nearly 60 quests but we had a lovely time and memorable time.
Pros: This is a great value for a group event in a special environment
Cons: Food for 60 took a little long to bring out but we were having such a good time it was not a problem
