    Had a wonderful dinner with my elderly mom. Looking for a quiet place, we were seated outdoors away from the bar. It was perfect. Ordered the brussels sprouts app. They were delicious. Most of us ordered the burger. They were done perfectly. Very good but not the best I've ever had. The ground beef blend needs a bit more fat for flavor. One of our party ordered halibut and reported that it was outstanding. Highly recommended.

    Menu is short and simple but tge food is excellent. Price point is medium. Location is in a mixed business/residential neighborhood. Nice patio option for dining regardless of weather. Parking may be a little challenging, however, parking is available on the street for a fee or free on the residential streets or free in the small parking lot in the rear of building.

    Thursday's area great night to enjoy the entertainment. Grose, Hill and Blackwell will do their very best to play requests, and always carry on a lively colloquy with guests in the delightful covered outdoor patios. Service by Randall was surprisingly outstanding, given the size of the crowd and the partying with the band. I applaud his good memory in recalling multiple orders and in the entire staff chipping into ensure timely and excellent service. So many menu items are worthy of dining at Haven anytime. The short rib I enjoyed last night is one of the more spectacular offerings. I can always go for the carefully crafted and unique salads too. Desserts are not to be missed. Finally, there is no better bar program in the area.

    Our only complaint was the restaurant was out of sparkling rose, which is our favorite! Had to settle for a regular rose. it was fine, but not what we'd hoped we'd have for brunch.

    We enjoyed a Mother’s Day brunch, but were surprised to have booked reservations so early, yet seated in what felt like the overflow area off the parking lot. Food was good, as always. Service was just okay this time—maybe it was again, where we were seated. Ambiance also not quite what we are use to there, as there were only a couple other parties seated where we were and we didn’t experience the normal lively scene you get from the covered outdoor area or inside the restaurant. Lastly, the sun was hitting my husband very strong in the second half of brunchand he ran out of water at one point; not a great combo. We will of course return, since we love this restaurant, but hope for a more typical experience in the future.

    We came for dinner on a Thursday evening, the food and service was excellent, however they have live music every Thursday. The band was good, but was way too loud, we couldn’t really hear the server nor could we socialize amongst ourselves at the table, despite being as far from the band and speakers was possible. We spoke with three different staff members about the volume, and our concerns were not heard. I will be back to haven, but I will avoid it on Thursday evening as the band takes away from the enjoyment of the evening.

    This is the restaurant in Brookhaven, maybe the whole city. The service is excellent, the food is on point (try the shrimp & chicken gumbo!) & the ambience is fantastic. I go at least once a month. Also, try the smoked pulled pork quesadillas. Another personal favorite.

    This has been a go-to place for us, but was terrible last night. Completely disengaged server who actually avoided eye contact, (my friend and I made jokes about it while he passed our table 6-8 times without acknowledging us), took about 20 minutes to flag him down to take an order, then when we said "we will make this easy for you, 2 burgers" he said "we are out of burgers, just sold the last one". Made no concessions, appeared to be bothered. Follow up: manager called me and offered a very generous makeup giftcard. Husband and I dined there last night and had an excellent experience. Very impressed that he did so.

    A favorite for many reasons- atmosphere especially on the porch is incredible, food is always excellent, servers are professional and wonderfully trained, and it just has this lovely vibe that you are being treated to a special evening on someone’s terrace or dining room. We love coming here. Make a res or you will have to be patient for a possible table or seat at the bar. I never get bored with the food, menu or spending a little more $$ to be treated so well!
