Had the worst burger I've ever had here. Seriously no flavor at all. Do they even season the meat?Simultaneously had the best friench fries. Go figure.Overpriced for what it is.

The Chicken Milanese was amazing. Crispy gluten free breading and a choice main entree. Excellence extended to the Haloumi salad, and the ahi. Fresh, bright, and flavorful ingredients that are unfussy and not overdressed or seasoned. Only negatives were (1) the music was loud and unnecessarily profane, it marred what was an otherwise fantastic atmosphere and (2) the olive oil cake needed more air and more almond flour. But overall an excellent and very memorable meal, with an owner that cares and loves providing great hospitality.

Food was just okay & definitely trendy vs service or quality. Mimosa flight was fun though!

Everything I’ve had a Naive was so good! Their drinks are amazing, loved the Golden Hour Latte in particular. Also a fan of their Whipped Farmer Cheese and Crispy Potatoes.

I enjoyed everything I ate at Naive! The patio is one of my favorite place to hang out with lots of seating options! I love gathering friends and eating at their picnic style tables under the canopy! Makes for great photos and great memories created over sharing great food like the farmer cheese, and cauliflower!Parking: So many options for parking near by! Most of the downtown in metered now, but the area all around Naive is free parking!

Very good food, for all kind of eaters. I am vegan and have to be gluten-free, the dishes I got here were full of various taste and really worth to try. I got hummus, sweet potato puree and cauliflower. It was extraordinary and these dishes can seem to be ordinary by their names but it was really the opposite. We also ordered lamb burger with potatoes and it was great as well. Very nice and friendly staff and atmosphere. Thank you for being open till 9pm because I wouldn't be able to get so great, clean and fresh food anywhere else at this time.Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free options clearly labeled.

If you’re looking for a fresh meal with a calming atmosphere then look no further than Naive! I love coming here for a leisurely dinner- especially when their amazing patio is open. The staff is kind & happy to take the time to go over their seasonal menu with you (that’s always filled with delicious options for all dietary needs!).I always enjoy my time dining at Naive and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Nulu/Butchertown area!

I took my daughter to brunch at Naive for her birthday. It was a pleasant experience from the onset due to our server, Devin B. He was so pleasant and friendly and checked on us frequently during our meal. He even brought a birthday card out to my daughter signed by the Naive employees! How very thoughtful! The cinnamon roll was absolutely delicious with a touch of citrus on the icing that brought it to another level. The pancakes were good but could have used a touch more cinnamon and spice for my taste. The salad was fresh and the blood orange vinaigrette was thicker than a typical vinaigrette, but very tasty. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because even though the restaurant was not full, there was a lot of loud background noise of other people talking. Overall this was a very pleasant dining experience!
