One visit should feature a selection of bold wines to help you taste the incomparable selection of cheese at Haven, followed by a small dessert and digestive. You won't have room, or appetite, for anything else.The second visit allows you to select small plates of well-considered dishes with flairs of creativity. Pork belly a little soggy for me. Eschew sweets for a couple of the cheeses for dessert. Go early while the professional wait staff still have a lot of energy.Hello 4masei5,Thank you for providing us with feedback about your experience. I will make our chefs aware of your feedback about some of the small plates offerings you received. Happy to hear you enjoyed our wide variety of cheese offerings as well. Sorry our staff didn't have enough energy during your experience, but will make sure to brew an extra pot of coffee and speak with our staff about continuing the exceptional service through the whole night. We look forward seeing you again in the near future to try some of our new small plate offerings and new cheese options.Sincerely,Maka'ala Kuewa

Real neat place but the Cuban sandwich and crispy fries were horrible. Absolutely disgusting actually. The pork must have been from an old boar. The fries were cold and crispy...crispy as in stale like the ones you find in the backseat of a minivan that your kid dropped when he was two, now heâs 10. If the whole meal was $4 I probably would have just written it off and not made a comment. But it was overpriced, the service was mediocre and my Cuban and crispy fries were bad. There was a lady next to me who ordered the same thing and had the same opinion. 0 for 2.

This was my first trip. I went for restaurant week for the $30 deal. The Brussel sprouts were great and crispy. So many places don't cook them enough and these were not the case. I put the red sauce on it that came with the tasty bread and it was even better. I think had the short ribs which was tender and tasty, it came with white rice that is cooked perfectly and some veggies, the only complaint is too much broccoli and not enough other veggies. The chocolate mouse was dense and chocolaty. I also tried the key lime pie which had lots of lime flavor. I would for sure go back. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive.
