The new executive chef has curated a delicious menu with tasty twists on old favorites. The Cajun fritters with ricotta appetizer was an upscale take on southern comfort food. The fig and prosciutto flatbread blended salty and sweet with a little tang from the pickled onions. We completed our meal with the bread pudding which was made with apple cider caramel and was, by far, the best we ever ate! Our server, Hannah, was friendly and efficient. This was a delightful meal and we will happily be back!

I am officially a big fan. I’ve now visited several times and had a fantastic experience each time. This trip I brought my sister who had never been to Naive. We had great drinks, great meal, great service at the bar, and an all around good time.  I highly recommend Naive Kitchen and Bar.
