Haven - Tampa (FL)

5 /5 Art: I brought my parents to Haven to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, and the entire evening was exceptional. When I made the reservation, I mentioned the occasion, and the team went above and beyond—my parents were greeted with a thoughtful, handwritten anniversary card signed by the entire staff. It was such a warm, unexpected touch. The food was outstanding. The Bern’s filet was cooked flawlessly, and every dish at our table was equally impressive. The standout for me was the fried Brussels sprouts salad—truly unforgettable. I’d return for that alone. Service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and every staff member we interacted with was gracious and accommodating. An all‑around fantastic experience. I’d recommend Haven to anyone looking for a memorable meal in Tampa.

5 /5 Rob Watkins: We dropped in early on NYE without reservations and we were able to get seats at the bar. The Chefs board with assorted cheeses and meat were very tasty, with good accompaniments of mustard and horseradish sauces, with grapes, almonds and bread. With it being NYE they were not offering normal happy hour, which was not a surprise. We had cocktails, Cosmo for her, dirty martini for me. They were mixed well, my only knock was for the service. There were 3 bartenders, 2 working the bar and 1 working the well for the rest of the restaurant, it took several minutes to get service. Once drinks were brought we ordered food, and it came quick. We asked for more bread and honey comb to add with chefs board but it was never brought. Im not sure what a normal crowd is like but the bar wasnt full for an hour after we sat, and the well bartender was handling the restaurant fine. The 2 bartenders would disappear and we had to wait for second round. It was good and I will definitely go back, Im taking into consideration that it was NYE but I know other bartenders that could have handled the bar alone

5 /5 AMPed Up: Very hipster, food AMAZING full of flavor, we had the charcuterie chef pick and the 3 cheese was amazing my favorite was the goat cheese one we also had the octopus best one we tasted and for the entrée we had the lamb shanks which was so delicious melted in our mouth we didnt even had to chew 5 stars all around and out service was amazing too!!! Will recommend to everyone

4 /5 Jodi Revalee: I was looking for something modern, calm, and upscale — and Haven absolutely delivers on that atmosphere. The vibes were immaculate. The decor is stunning, the wine cellar is a showpiece, and the combination of greenery and outdoor seating makes it feel both elevated and inviting. That said, we were unfortunately disappointed with the food. While the ambiance feels very high-end, the dishes didn’t quite meet the same standard. We tried the frog legs, crab croquette, hamachi, olives, and taco. The hamachi was excellent — beautifully prepared and full of flavor — but the other dishes missed the mark for us. The frog legs had an unappealing texture, the crab croquette lacked flavor, and the taco was dry and underwhelming. We really wanted to enjoy everything, but aside from the hamachi, we didn’t finish any of the plates. Overall, Haven is a gorgeous place to enjoy wine with friends in a stylish, relaxed setting. However, for us, the food didn’t reflect the same level of care and quality that the space itself does. I truly wanted to love this spot, and I hope the kitchen evolves to match the incredible atmosphere — because the potential here is undeniable.

3 /5 Lam Mi: We decided to check this place out since it’s a sister restaurant to Bern’s Steakhouse. The service was amazing, huge shoutout to Riley who was super friendly and gave us great recommendations, especially on the cheese. We started with the hamachi sashimi, which was fresh but a little fishy and the sauce was kind of plain. The charcuterie board, though, was incredible, probably the best part of the night! We tried a mix of cheeses (brillat savarin, goat gouda, moliterno al tartufo, and maybe fiore sardo) with summer sausage and Lady Edison country ham, plus honeycomb and truffle honey. Every bite was perfect. For mains, the Piri Piri chicken thighs were really spicy, so spicy it covered up the yogurt sauce, and they came out a little burnt. The marinated cucumbers were also too sweet. The Maine bluefin tuna had good flavor, but the salt wasn’t spread evenly, so some bites were way too salty. On the other hand, the filet mignon was excellent, super tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Definitely the best entrée we tried. We finished with the Milk Chocolate Tahini Bombe. It was creative with sesame wafer and pomegranate, but that combo reminded me a little of soy sauce. The chocolate and ice cream in the middle, though, were delicious. Overall, we loved the vibe and service, and while not every dish hit the mark, the charcuterie board and filet mignon are absolute must-orders.
