Wonderful little spot hidden in the neighborhood. Safe, clean, and very beautiful interior. Service was excellent. The host and waiter were very attentive and polite. The menu is smaller and lacked options in my opinion. The meals also don’t come with any sides so you have to order additionally if you want. They are gluten friendly but not completely gluten free (also lacked options in this space). Over all it’s a good place to go and would recommend it for lighter eaters.
This place is beautiful on the inside, such a calm and relaxing presence. It is full of light. Service was also really amazing as well fast. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu. It's important to note, that I went for burger week. I had the beet margarita and the lychee cocktail, both were fine. The beet margarita tends to be the sweetest on the menu, but it is not sweet in my opinion. But please know it has a nice depth in flavor and the beets shine through. If you like spirit forward cocktails, then you will enjoy them, but if you like an overly sweet drink, then I don't think their cocktail menu is for you. The burger and fries were really delicious and the sauces were so yummy. Their seasoning tends to run a little simpler in my opinion, so my palette craved more. I would still get it on the regular full priced menu. I had both the cake and brownie dessert options. The brownie almost had a fudge texture, the chocolate is a very natural flavor, so it may not be for everyone. As for the cake, I only really liked the chocolate Ganache topping and found the cake to be overly firm for me. I would not get it again.
This restaurant was one of the best dining experiences I've enjoyed. The Zen inspired outdoor patio set the mood for a wonderful relaxing date night. The service we received from Sophie was top tier. She was the perfect combination of helpful and attentive and friendly. Can't say enough about how much she added to the evening. And then there's the food! Absolutely the best meal I've had in Louisville this year! And probably the healthiest options you'll find anywhere. We started with the mushroom sliders (one with a garlic toasted GF bun) and WOW! Loaded with so much flavor. I ordered the chicken yakitori with a side of General Tso's cauliflower. The chicken was tender and savory. The cauliflower had some sweetness to it and was absolutely mouth watering. My date had the Tuscan Kale Salad with salmon. He was equally impressed. We both indulged in some of the crafted cocktail offerings. Between the two of us we had the following: Berry Funky Collins, Butchertown Southside and Beet Margaritas. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but probably would say the gin Butchertown Southside was the most refreshing. We almost never get dessert but since we were on a roll, ordered the Chia Parsnip Cake. It's GF and like everything else at Naive was delicious! I was over the moon with this experience. Thanks Naive for making the drive from Etown worth it. I will be back!
This was my first time dining here. It was the day after Labor Day. We were the only people in the restaurant. The service was excellent, very helpful and friendly.
We ordered two items off the menu and then a few minutes later the server came back to tell us that those two items were not available.
The soba noodles were not seasoned properly. You can use more miso to add body to the dish. Very plain dish.
The cauliflower appetizer was very bland.
The sauce to go with it was more like a ponzu sauce and didn't help make it any better
The fries are from a bag and they were all frozen together top it off. A place like this you would expect them to make their own fries.
Having a front of the house line up with management to discuss what's available from the kitchen is key, BEFORE you open your doors.
That way the servers know what is on the 86 list and they can inform the customers before they get their hopes up only for the server to eat crow afterwards.
Overall it is a nice place but the food needs some work.
Fantastic place. Food was great had the breakfast burrito. Eggs were so light and fluffy. Loved the mix of flavors they had. Timing on the food could improve. Some of the food came out warm while others you could tell thry sat for a bit. Other than that is was all great.
What an awesome experience! Went here for Burger Week to try their Not Your Typical Burger made with grass fed beef, yuzu koshu aioli, basil relish, and mozzarella, and fries. Taste was excellent! The service by Kate was great as she was very friendly and outgoing. Also loved the decorative, modern and laid back feel of the place.
We so loved our visit to naive. There were 3 adults and 2 children. Our food was absolutely delicious and was served very quickly. The staff were courteous and attentive. And the atmosphere was excellent. We will definitely be back.
This place was so amazing, we came for dinner 2 nights in a row. The staff say it’s “vegetable forward,” which is a perfect way to describe it. It’s not super busy on a week night, which is great. We ordered as much as we could between the two nights, but the best thing, hands down, was the General Tso’s cauliflower. I’m going to have to figure out how to make that back home. Also, the fried mushroom slider has a unique combination of textures and tastes that was like heaven in your mouth. We had both the salmon and the bass - both were incredible. Whenever we come back to Louisville, we will definitely be back here.
This place is super cute and I love how allergen friendly it is! The cocktails are also fun. The food wasn’t amazing, it was kind of bland. My friend said the risotto needed a thicker sauce to avoid being rice.
I ordered 2 trays of the Cornbread Stuffing. One tray was full but the other was practically empty. Thank you Naive for reaching out & explaining what occurred with my order.
