    Although we didn't book a patio table, we managed to get one as one cleared on our arrival. I liked that the service was attentive without being too much. Very friendly and patient as we were waiting for a friend to join us before ordering. The food was yummy. We shared the Nachos Cubanos, Pulled Pork Enchiladas, and Pescado tacos (added an extra). The bill was split 3 way perfectly. The patio did get loud at it's peak dinner time and slightly chilly with less people blocking the wind. Would return with friends and family, especially at Happy Hour next time.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner last night at this restaurant. The server, Justin, was excellent and timed the meal perfectly without rushing us to make it to the theatre. We loved the chorizo croquettes (as good as any we have had in Belgium)and the seared tuna was tasty. Complimentary glass of bubbly was really special.

    I love the patio at Havana on a sunny day -- great food & service -- fantastic margaritas -- and nice people watching spot too. Great place to catch up with friends.

    Food was very good. Service was non existent, quite bad. Could’ve easily walked out without paying $130 as no one was paying any attention.

    Great staff, good variety on the menu. Portions and flavor lacking for brunch. Enjoy the dinner menu more.

    Thanks so much, Jacquie! We love that you enjoyed the breakfast chorizo hash (it’s a team favorite) and that our décor and staff made you feel welcome. We really appreciate your visit and hope to see you again soon! Cheers, Liam

    A great experience at Havana. The hostesses and servers were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating. My friend and I remarked to each other on how caring and dialed everyone was, they all went the extra mile to be really sweet and helpful. Awesome team, amazing patio, top-tier vibes. Thank you, Havana!
