I took my daughter for a pre wedding celebratory lunch. It was amazing, special - superb in every way imaginable. The owners are a delight. Atmosphere festive and cozy simultaneously! Love !!

Atmosphere is cute and the food and my margarita were good, however as I’ve seen others mention the portions are quite small for the price. I finished my meal and was not full when we left. Maybe an appetizer would have helped.

I also did just want to mention as this is not the restaurants fault by any means, but more for a heads up for some who are not super familiar with the area. It was a rainy dark night and I parked to the left of the restaurant on the Main Street infront of a house. We were only in the restaurant for 45 minutes and I got a $45 parking ticket. I looked everywhere around my car for signs and when circling back around the block again I finally found the small sign on the telephone pole that said you could not park there between 5pm-10pm on a Friday. Just be mindful that there are parking restrictions during certain times!

No vegan on the menu...under new management

Naive is bright and modern, with plants everywhere and big windows letting in soft daylight. I ordered the grilled salmon bowl—light, fresh, with a punchy citrus vinaigrette. The staff felt calm and professional, offering quiet recommendations without hovering. A great spot for a laid-back but health-conscious lunch.

Naive offers tasty Latin-inspired dishes absolutely worth checking out. We went for the fried zucchini flowers, Chile relleno, and grilled hanger steak. For dessert we had the Nutella Flan. The kitchen cooked and prepared everything to perfection. Highly recommend if you're in the Nulu/Butchertown area!

Hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Louisville! The staff is super friendly & knowledgeable, the food is delicious & arrives quickly, and the drink menu has both cocktails & mocktails that are tasty!

The brunch menu wasn’t veggie forward, which was what we expected based on how they described themselves.

Cute interior/atmosphere and impeccable service, everyone working there was kind and welcoming. Very artistic beautiful plating, with each element of the dishes being intentionally crafted to create robust, memorable flavors. Main and a cocktail along with splitting an app and dessert was $58 which I feel like is reasonable considering the high quality. I especially liked the seared hangar steak and will definitely return in the future to try more menu items!

Popped in for lunch on a Monday. It was so chill, food came out fast and everything was delicious. I got the pambazo sandwich and shishito peppers. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back for dinner

My husband and I had an exceptional experience. We went for brunch and got the breakfast burrito (with green pork chili on top) and the sandwich. They cut each in half so we could split both. They were both so good, IDK which one I liked better! Also the carajillo (akin to an espresso martini) was DIVINE. Customer service was excellent. We will be back!
