About Indigenous

Keeping with their mission of conscientious sourcing, Indigenous’ menu of seasonal American cuisine changes progressively throughout the year based on peak ingredient availability. Chef Steve Phelps opened Indigenous in 2011, and since then has honed his reputation as one of the region's most inspirational and educational chefs, earning a James Beard Foundation semi-finalist nomination for Best Chef, South in 2014. Indigenous has helped to put Sarasota, Fla., boldly on the map as a wonderful city in which to live, visit and dine. Inspired by Chef Phelps’ passion for food, the planet and the community, Indigenous uses perfectly executed techniques and carefully sourced local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients to give guests a unique and conscious dining experience.
