Naive Kitchen + Bar

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 Marga

Great place to grab a brunch or lunch. The ambiance is very open and relaxed, and the waitress was helpful and friendly. The breakfast burrito was excellent, and while I got normal eggs, they have many vegan and gluten-free options to choose from as well. Nice menu and overall enjoyed my experience here.

We were the first people in the restaurant with a 5 pm reservation. It took about 20 minutes for our table to receive 3 cans of High Noons after being told the flavors we picked were not available. We ordered the sour dough and general Tao cauliflower. The appetizers were the highlight of the night. After an extended wait we received our entrees. 2 people ordered black bean burgers, 1 ordered salmon crudo, 1 ordered chicken yakitori. The burgers were very dry and unseasoned and the avocado on one still had the skin on it. When we asked for condiments, they asked us to check under the bun on the burgers in front of a server to prove we had no condiments, and it took 20 minutes to be told that they did not have mustard as an option. The salmon was not prepared well. The pieces were not completely cut through and appeared to just be thrown onto a plate. At first the chicken appeared to be the only dish that was acceptable. I am now writing this review solely because my friend who ate the
