    Good healthy food. Lots of choice. Excellent service. Too noisy inside but on a nice day the location on the drive is the coolest place in Vancouver.

    I had made a late reservation for lunch with 2 elders who were about 40 minutes late - and the staff were very welcoming and relaxed about all that. We had a lovely lunch & a good visit and I was grateful because, in their 80s - it is a big deal for them to venture out - to drive and to park and etc etc. The gracious welcome and understanding and the thoughtful service was much appreciated all around. I hadn't been to havana for a long time because it is often busy and so I also appreciated having enough quiet to have a conversation without shouting... Happy to share this good experience and send thanks once again to staff for thoughtful and generous work in that space.

    Food was not great, super disappointed as it was our 24th anniversary too. We ordered paella and out of clams but didn't add extra seafood to replace. Service was bad, our server barely came by to check on us.

    The drinks are the best at Havana! Liam is an incredible manager as well! He helped move us to a beautiful spot on the patio and he is fantastic with engaging with guests. Great experience!!

    Great Food. Wonderful service. Lovely location. Music was a bit loud so that could be lowered a bit.

    I love Havana and I go there almost exclusively for the Mussels Espana. On my last visit, they were sub-par. The tasted strong and there was very little chorizo in the dish. The portion size was also smaller. I’m used to them being crazy good with every mouthful and it was so disappointing. I hope it was just an off day.

    Good spot to share plates with friends while having a bevy or two. Service and food was pretty good for casual get togethers.
