    Fantastic experience with unique food. The menu will not robust offers a variety of food for everyone along with unique combinations and strong presentation. The server was fantastic and very knowledgeable about everything coming out of the kitchen. The drinks had a variety of options and very clear menu. The ambience was modern, but not your typical overpowering music which can make it difficult to have a discussion at the table. The entire staff was attentive, and the ambience was quite enjoyable. the dessert menu had unique takes on many different staples. overall excellent experience.

    Haven in Tampa exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and chic, especially in the bar area—it’s beautifully designed and perfect for enjoying a drink. Speaking of drinks, the Berns cappuccino was an absolute highlight, with rich flavors that were perfectly balanced. The Brussels sprouts were phenomenal, easily one of the best dishes of the night. They were so well-prepared, packed with flavor, and left a lasting impression. Our waiter made the evening truly unforgettable, delivering impeccable service with a warm and attentive attitude. They went out of their way to make my wife feel special on her birthday, adding a personal touch that elevated our experience. We’d give our server a 10 out of 5 if we could! Haven is a spot I’d wholeheartedly recommend for any occasion—whether a casual evening out or a special celebration. We can’t wait to return!
