    In 2 words Haven was absolutely fantastic! We loved everything about it: the food was delicious, the brunch dishes were amazing, the atmosphere was very nice, and the best thing was their service. Our waitress Erika was divine, very kind and friendly, and we really appreciated that she intervened in the kitchen, which was already closed, to prepare an extra dish for us because we didn't know the restaurant's hours. Overall all of their staff was very kind and friendly. We will definitely be coming back to Haven.

    We started with the Burrata which was uniquely delicious. Secondly, we enjoyed the meatballs. We split the lamb chops as our meal. They were perfectly prepared. Our waiter was very attentive, and he did not rush us to finish. It was an enjoyable evening!
