From the OpenTable editors: Combining his Swedish upbringing and Ethiopian heritage, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson gives New Yorkers an innovative, seafood-forward fusion spot that could only come from him. The two cuisines blend beautifully in dishes like berbere-cured salmon served with apple water and avocado that earned this Chelsea hotspot two stars from the NY Times. It's all served in a vibrant space with sculptures from famed artist and restaurant partner Derrick Adams on the walls.

    Excellent restaurant. The food and drinks are exceptional. I decided to do the chef’s selection and was disappointed in the selections offered. I understand you cannot have everything but should really think about offerings. I have done numerous chef tasting menus, this was the least inclusive. For example, a bread basket that allowed the table to sample biscuits and blue cornbread would have been logical. Additionally, long waits between courses. In short, Food great but would have been better off ordering 4 entrees.

    Dear Charles, Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback and for your kind words about our food and drinks. We’re delighted you enjoyed the overall experience, but we’re truly sorry that the chef’s selection did not meet your expectations. We understand how important variety and pacing are to a tasting menu, and we regret that we fell short of delivering the exceptional experience we aim for. Your suggestions are incredibly valuable, and we’ll use them to refine our offerings. We hope you’ll give us another chance to impress you, and we’d love to welcome you back soon for a more seamless and satisfying dining experience. Warmly, The Hav & Mar Team

    We dined for the first time at Hav and Mar for their Thanksgiving Jubilee Buffet. The dining room is deceivingly intimate for being such a large space, helped by the lighting, artwork and music. We were made to feel immediately welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. The buffet had a generous variety of offerings that had us back for seconds to explore and enjoy more of the unique dishes (I can’t remember the names but the porcini curry dish and the sea bass we’re outstanding), and admittedly a third visit for more of the corn bread. We look forward to coming back again where we can enjoy the full menu and another one of their clever cocktails. Thank you for a great Thanksgiving meal!! Brenda and John
