We had an incredible time at Haven last night. The corn bread was perfectly warm and flavorful, the Gold Rush cocktail was spot-on, and the OG burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. Their beer selection was also outstanding. Great cozy vibe.

We wrapped up a busy convention with a business dinner alongside a few colleagues. This restaurant was the perfect balance after visiting several more formal spots—offering great food, excellent service, and a beautifully designed interior. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I'd also highly recommend it as a great choice for a date night!

We had a nice experience. This was our 3rd time here. I would just say that even though there were available tables outside, they would not seat us out there. Reason we wanted to sit outside was the inside noise was over the top loud and at times hard to hear somebody sitting directly across from me. Food and drinks were great as always however.

Food was excellent and on a Friday, the place was nicely packed but service was prompt! That was a nice surprise—kudos to our waiter. There was something for everyone at our table to eat so it was a win-win. Noise level was high but honestly, we were ok with it because it just made the time with our friends more lively.

The restaurant looked great and had amazing reviews, so I decided to stop by while passing. I sat alone at the bar, but the two bartenders didn’t take my order for over 10 minutes — they were too busy talking with other staff. It wasn’t even busy, yet no one seemed to notice me. Hard to believe a place like this has such good reviews. Not a good spot if you’re dining alone at the bar. Really disappointing experience.

My family was here once before for Chapman University move in day. We had a nice time the first time around. Drinks and food were good, nice ambiance and good service. What happened this time? The server. We never got his name. He didn't introduce himself but he treated us rudely from the start. When I asked for a particular glass of wine he told me “we're out of that” and when I asked for a recommendation he said brusquely “yeah the one you ordered but we don't have” so I asked him to take the other orders while I chose something else. When he came back to me I said “do you have a topo Chico?” “Nope” then he left. We all looked at each other like what the heck. He walked by us and my husband asked if they have any kind of club soda/sparkling water and he said rudely “yeah just not what she wanted” but he didn't offer what they were. He left again and eventually brought my husband's drink and daughter's drink and I still had nothing offered or nothing suggested. I asked everyone at the table if it was me or is this guy super rude and they all replied “no he has problems”. We decided then and there that this wasn't going to be the nice evening we planned taking our daughter out for dinner during parents weekend so while we were sitting there, my husband called Bosscat. They said they could take us in a half hour so when the rude server came back and asked rudely again “what about food?” My husband asked for the check for the two drinks and he replied sarcastically “great! Perfect!” And ran over the bill. The manager showed up right around the same time even though we didn't ask for him and we told him what happened. He apologized and told us we didn't need to pay for the wine and sprite but we paid anyway and left. I have never been treated so rudely at a restaurant ever and I am 56 years old. We will never be back there. We got the most amazing service form Bosscat's Tony at the bar. He went above and beyond for us. We left him $100 tip on a $150 bill.

We went for afternoon happy hour, and it was amazing! Highly recommend both the Brussels sprouts appetizer, which was a perfect blend of spicy, sweet & crunchy. The cornbread with hot honey butter was also amazing, but the life-changing level of spectacular was the compressed watermelon & pork belly salad. While not a combination we'd considered before, it was absolutely delicious! Service was an ideal combination very friendly & helpful with suggestions, but not intrusive.

Food was great! When we came in they had just sat several tables so the servers were weeded so it was a slow start to get our drink order in. It is definitely not a low volume restaurant, so if you do not like loud environments you may want to pass. Overall the experience was great and I would visit again.

The food was spectacular, the drinks well made and the service was great!
We stared off strong with the cornbread, and mac & cheese. We still talk about how amazing the cornbread with the honey butter was. Our main dishes were delectable, and ended off the night with the toffey pudding. We all agreed that it is a hidden gem of a dessert, it is decadently sweet and just perfect with the ice cream scoop. We will be coming back to this establishment to try out more of their amazing food.
Went here for lunch with a friend to catch up. Very quiet during the weekday. Parking, unfortunately, was terrible but the restaurant was very good. Service was attentive but not overbearing. The avocado/hummus plate was really tasty. I imagine it gets busy at night and weekends but was perfect during the week and no pressure to leave.

Always an amazing experience at Haven! This time we tried two newer items that we have not yet had and they were both super delicious. The Chopped Salad was perfection and so was the Potato-Chive Agnolotti with Flat Iron Steak. Excellent drinks and Service. Can't wait to go back.
