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!
