The halibut was AMAZING! We also had 2 kids and the kids meals had the most generous portions. The drinks at Haven never disappoint! Bri was our server and was very attentive and helpful with making wine and food selections.

Flies on the patio probably can't be helped ... Charceuterie board was great, so were the egg rolls, Brussels just ok
Andrea
Everything was wonderful, from the service to the food and drinks, and we had a great time. The steaks were amazing and some of the best we've had. We would highly recommend the basque cheesecake and the icewine also. My husband and I will definitely be back to try more on the menu.
Cheryl
We did not enjoy the mac and cheese other than that we enjoy yourself. will return again just won't order the mac and ch

Have a great time as always when we go to the Haven we went for their larceny barbecue event, which is something you absolutely have to go to such a great unique touch on barbecue, which they would do it more often but when they do it, it's a must attend

As a long time patron of Bern's we have looking forward to Haven's once a year BBQ night- so much that we drove three hours one way, got an Air B&B and made the trip solely for the one night only event. We arrived and were promptly seated for our reservation. Our server was great, and that is where the good experience ends- we ordered the Southern Bread plate, the breads all were cold- as if there were sitting in a cooler, plated and severed. Ok- not the end of the world, maybe that is Havens take on breads to accompany BBQ- I can get past that. We ordered brisket and pulled pork, both of which arrived quickly, along with mac and cheese, elote, and summer squash casserole. Our meats were warm at best- no worries the wife and I both used to work in the restaurant industry- things happen, we will just ask for them to be warmed up- no fault of our server. She takes the meats back and few minutes later they reappear. This time maybe a few degrees warmer- if at all. We opted to not say anything and just moved on with our evening- but honestly it was an absolute let done. For brisket that is $75 a pound, I expected Bern's quality and taste given this is their other restaurant and brand. Overall beyond disappointing.

Fantastic experience at Haven. Quality beef from Bern's purveyor and service is top notch. The restaurant is a little loud but that was my only very small complaint. Loved everything.
Linda
Great experience! Everyone was friendly, the service was flawless, and the food was fantastic. I would recommend to anyone.

We loved the vibe of the restaurant. The atmosphere was a ten. The food and drink selection was fantastic as well. The service we received was some of the best we have ever had at a restaurant. We ordered from an extensive wine and drink list. The charcuterie chef's board was excellent, and we found it to be a great value. We ordered the sides of potatoes and also mushrooms. The potatoes were good, but the mushrooms were incredibly salty. Almost inedible. We had a strip steak and halibut for dinner. Both of these were very heavy handed with salt. It made it difficult to finish each dish. The vibe was great and will try it again, but hopefully we will have a better food experience.

Cool place and fun vibe overall. Service started out a bit slow at first but improved torwards the end. Tequila drinks were amazing, especially the one with mezcal. Oysters were a bit disappointing for several reasons but the octopus saved the day, would highly recommend it.
From the moment we sat down, we knew we were in good hands thanks to our server, Bri. She was warm, attentive, and effortlessly made us feel like VIPs the entire evening. Bri had that rare ability to strike the perfect balance—checking in without hovering, knowledgeable without being pushy, and genuinely friendly without ever feeling scripted. She guided us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations (all of which were spot-on), and even remembered our dietary preferences without us needing to repeat them. The food was excellent, but it was Bri who elevated the whole night. Restaurants are lucky to have staff like her. If you go, ask for Bri—she'll make your dinner feel like a special occasion, even if it's just a random weeknight.

I usually don't rate restaurants but this was one of the best experiences I had in Tampa. I will be back. Food, service, and scenery was top tier.
Tina
Good was great. Loved looked of place. However it was very loud, hard to have a conversation

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Haven in Tampa! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was stylish yet welcoming. But what truly made our night exceptional was our server, Jensen. She was knowledgeable, personable, and attentive — striking that perfect balance. Jensen guided us through the menu with great recommendations and clearly knew the ins and outs of both the food and drink offerings. Every course came out perfectly timed, and each bite was better than the last. Also have to give a shoutout to the bartenders — the cocktails were creative, well-balanced, and made with real skill. You can tell they take pride in their craft behind the bar just as much as in the kitchen. This was one of the best dining experiences we've had in Tampa — Haven is a must-visit, and if you're lucky enough to get Jensen as your server, you're in for a treat!

We had a gift card but new it would be expensive. Everything is a la cart so everything is individually priced. Food was very good expect for one dish we didn't care for. Our waitress was awesome. So was the girl who made sure our table was always clear.
