We always go to this fantastic restaurant and truly recommend it: seafood bowl, steak, lamb OMG - so unique, fresh, amazingly marinated! The staff is very attentive! We can’t wait to come back.

This is a unique germ-the food is marvellous! A seafood bowl is to die for, steak is so delicious and we also tried a whole tilapia fish, which takes 45 minutes to freshly cook and it was divine! Thank you to the whole team and to the owner!!!

Had a pleasant experience here. My partner and I went here for a weekend date. We had a reservation and were promptly led to our table on arrival. The team were nice and friendly, offering useful advice on the menu. We had the seafood platter with the large lobster, which was great, but very almost impossible to finish. We also took some peppered meat home to try, and it was amazing. I will definitely visit again.

The lady who served us was completely uninterested in us being there. We sat down and were given 2 menus for the 4 of us. 2 minutes later she asked for our order, we asked for drinks and she twisted her face. We ordered food anyway to avoid any confrontation. Warm bottles of Stella and cans of coke came no glasses or ice for coke 2 Starters missing we reminded them, they came eventually 1 main and a side missing we reminded them, they came eventually. Steak was supposed to be medium was well done at best, salmon was cooked to within an inch of being a block of coal. Seafood boil was great although I had to share a fish picker with my friend as they had ran out of them. how can you share a fish picker man!! They also ran out of warm Stella so we had warm Bud and had no tiger prawns. They were busy all day apparently.. We nearly finished our food and they started clearing the table. The bill was presented 30 seconds later. Looks like we did not want deserts or coffee.. We paid and left a pretty much empty restaurant at 845, table was at 730 Such a shame!! We won't be back..

We were at Native cave for my fiancées birthday, the food was amazing and so tasty. The service was fabulous, very attentive and when the waitress found out it was a birthday celebration they brought out a whole lobster free of charge. Played happy birthday for us and then brought us a huge slice of chocolate cake. The whole night was special and we will definitely return next time we're in Newcastle.

Booked a table for 6:30 and was not seated until after 7pm. Another 15 minutes later and we still hadn’t had our drinks order taken. We placed our food order only to be told that 2 of the items we’d requested were out of stock. We left before the drinks had even arrived. Thoroughly disappointing experience and won’t be returning.
