We went for a Saturday night dinner. I did not know what to expect because it was so new. I was thrilled with the great service amazing ambience, and excellent food. Our filet mignon was perfectly done. I did have to send my salad back because it was overdressed, but The waiter was gracious and quickly responded. I’m so glad to have this restaurant in our neighborhood. Also, the bar is large and very welcoming.

Haven is hands down one of the best views of New York City while you’re having an incredible meal. We typically for dinner but I’m sure other meals that they offer is just as good. It’s definitely one our favorite places to treat ourselves for a nice occasion.

The food was amazing. I had the squid ink with shrimp and my husband had the Berger. We also had oysters and clams from the raw bar. It was all delicious and better than expected. We’d love to come back.

WHat a great additional to the Upper West Side, which used to be a place of good but ordinary food of many often ethnic types. Elea is a game changer. I ate there several times outside during COVID and had no idea the inside is so elegant and un-Upper West Side (if you've lived here for a long time you know what I mean--before the bazillionaires moved in). Anyway, a first-rate restaurant in every way, and the noise level is bearable, as opposed to unbearable, as it is in so many nice restaurants. Thanks.
