Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 23 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

    Great wait staff, nice ambiance, lovely wine list and cocktail selection. Had difficulty deciding what to order. Salad was amazing. Shrimp dish also one of the best things ever. The other two dishes we got weren't quite as special. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for the desserts that sounded divine!

    Great restaurant! Cozy, comfortable dining room. Our server, Molly, was great. She also showed us “the barn” which I requested. Very cute space also! Both apps, the spring rolls and the gambas (shrimp) were absolutely delicious. We split the paella, which included mussels, scallops, shrimp, lobster and chorizo. It was probably the best paella I’ve ever had. The rice with the slight crunch. And the most delicious chorizo ever. Go here, you’ll love it

    While most of the food was quite good, and the atmosphere was great, there were serious issues with service. Our appetizer and salad was brought out at the same time, and then we waited for our entrees for quite a long time, and one of our entrées was cold. Unfortunately, due to a lack of management presence in and around the restaurant, we were neglected throughout the night and no one noticed or checked with us to see how our entrées were. We also had a difficult time ordering wine because no one would check on our table. There were four people at the host stand doing the job of two people at the most, two of them could’ve been assisting in the dining room even if they were shorthanded I really wanted to like the restaurant, but I have to give an honest review and I’m not sure I could recommend it even though much of the food was very good.

    The food here was mediocre but the service was a 0.5/5. We personally wouldn’t recommend it or go back. We heard it was amazing but found it to be the opposite. If you do go, get the octopus! It’s fantastic. The mussels were not good at all and were tiny. It was more an onion dish. We didn’t receive bread or amuse bouche. Our wine came out after the appetizers.

    We are in Bar Harbor and this is our can’t wait to go to restaurant . The ambience, staff , food and cocktails are outstanding . It’s always nice to be greeted by the owner Mícheál and have great conversation at the bar with fellow diners . After asking me a few questions Ryan the bartender made me and my husband cocktails that were exactly what we were looking for . We started dinner with the pork belly , I had the chicken and my husband had Pescado . everything was cooked perfectly and servings were great . Dinner was soo good how could we not get the carrot cake and a peach special. Sorry i can’t remember exactly what it was but they were delicious . This is our new favorite place

    Absolutely unforgettable dining experience. Havana was a special first wedding anniversary dinner! The staff was so warm & welcoming! They offered to seat us early but we opted to go next door to their sister outdoor restaurant for a few drinks first. Highly recommend! We are from the Portland, Maine area and agreed this spot is better than 99% of the highly acclaimed restaurants there- and we’ve tried the best of the best! I highly recommend sharing a few apps. We went with the shrimp Gambas & mushroom spring rolls. Heaven!!! The Gambas sauce is unreal. For entrees my husband had the lobster Moqueca and I had the ribeye. We split the gauva crème brûlée and indulged in several cocktails & mocktails which all hit the spot. Our server was wonderful & our waters were never empty. We have been telling everyone this is our new favorite spot, a must go! We cannot wait to come back.

    Havana offered us a special evening in Bar Harbor. Our host honored out table request and the little corner table in the back dining room proved perfect! From the ambiance, the low music, great service and delicious food and wine, the experience delighted. The wine list was hard to believe and was fun to peruse so many bottles. Ryan, our server helped direct excellent choices. And all this was close to our accommodations. Highly recommend.

    We had a great experience at Havana. To begin with, we were late for our reservation time and did not see the confirmation text (my bad). As a result, they gave away our table. However, the host was very friendly and accommodating and assured us he would get us seated. After a short wait, we were seated at a lovely table in one of the back rooms. Our server was attentive and the dishes were excellent. We would highly recommend Havana for fine dining in Bar Harbor.
