Anniversary dinner at the chefs table was outstanding. Chef Kevin is a maestro in the kitchen - keeping things calm and fun. We ordered the “Maize” course and each dish was a delicious surprise. First time there but definitely not the last. Servers, hosts and kitchen staff checked in with us throughout the night - what service!

Habana Restaurant - SoCo

My son and grandson took me to Habana for Mother’s Day. The weather held and we were able to sit in the bamboo garden as planned. We all enjoyed our entrees immensely, but the portions were so generous we had to ask for to go containers. Later that evening, I converted my pork dish into shredded bbq and had enough for two sandwiches — delish. Our waitress was delightful, and at the end of the meal she presented me with a beautiful long stemmed rose. ‘Twas a wonderful Mother’s Day!

I’ve never seen more pleasant waitstaff as what we experienced at Justine’s. Our waitress was so pleasant, she seemed to be having a great time waiting on us, and she was very helpful with our meal and wine selections. Another young lady brought vases and water for the flowers my daughter gave me for Mother’s Day, and all our food came out at the same time! The experience was all wonderful! Way to go Justine’s!!!

The food was delicious. We tried a lot of things …meatballs, grilled artichokes, mushroom soup, various pastas, and salads. All outstanding. Super great waitstaff and chef as well. We felt welcomed and appreciated the extra attention we received. Great experience.
