Naive

Really enjoy the food at Naive. The majority of the items on the menu are marked as gluten free. The pickle plate, the cauliflower, the cheese plate, the sweet potatoes, and the salmon were all delicious. Lots of vegetarian options. The servers and the manager were very friendly. The food comes out tapas-style, so you have to be a little patient. The only complaint I have with Naive is the way the bar works. Every time I have been there, the cocktails and drinks have come out extremely slowly. I don't blame the bartender because I think it's been a different one every time. They just have a weird setup that overworks them and means we only get to have one drink during dinner instead of two. That being said, they do have good cocktails. Overall very good experience.

Excellent food and drinks. Menu items were clearly marked as GF and the server was knowledgeable about celiac. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant. I will definitely visit the restaurant the next time I am in Louisville.

I did not get sick, which is the most important thing. However, it took over ten minutes for our drinks and then another 30 minutes for food. The sweet potato hash was AMAZING but everything else was sub par.

Went here for brunch and it was so so good! The waffle was really good. GF waffles are typical dry or floppy. The lattes are pricy but delicious.

Knowledgeable server, the menu was clear about gluten. The dessert was a bit sweet for my personal taste, but I didn’t get sick, so I’m not about to knock the restaurant for that.

This restaurant was amazing! Their menu has a gluten free symbol so it’s easy to determine what is gluten free. I also have an egg allergy, and I could easily determine what I could eat because of the vegan symbol on the menu as well. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer for the sweet potato fries, and they were also able to assure me that there were also no items with eggs in that fryer. So I was able to enjoy excellent sweet potato fries without worrying! The gluten free buns had eggs, so I got the smash burger with a lettuce wrap. The burger was amazing, even without a bun! Probably the best I’ve eaten. They even brought me a gluten free, egg free brownie for dessert because it was my birthday! Wonderful service and excellent food. We will definitely be back!!!

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

Staff is super knowledgeable and the menu is marked clearly. I’ve eaten here 20+ times and the food is always good. I did have a reaction once, but it must have been an uncommon cross contamination issue. Try the General Tso cauliflower and the caveman breakfast sandwich.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are super careful. I get sick very easily! Haven't gotten sick here yet. They even have donuts! Haven't had one of those in years!

I’ve been here many times with no issues. We recently did takeout and ordered the curry chicken salad sandwich with GF bread. I just got a Nima sensor, so I decided to test the bread just to make sure. Thank goodness I did, because gluten was found. Super disappointed, as I had assumed this place took serious precautionary measures. I will now be Nima testing anything I get if we return.

I ate here a month and a half ago. I spoke with the manager prior to visiting and was assured that everything would be safe and advised my safest bet for choices. I usually test food with my Nina tester but I was out of testers on this night. Ended up sick for 3 weeks. I won’t be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Large selection of unique dishes that are gluten free and very tasty. Amazing GF donuts, GF biscuits,and so many other yummy dinner selections.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
