Haven

Our server, David, was a delight! He was both pleasant and extensively knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. It was definitely a unique dining experience, followed by dessert at its sister restaurant, Bern's Steakhouse. Truly a not-to-be-missed location when visiting the Tampa area. We did have a good laugh, however, about the 'valet' parking which was literally steps from the door! 😂🤣

Haven is an amazing restaurant. It's definitely for a particular person. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my husband. I'd say the drinks are more on the masculine side but were so cool. The brussel sprouts salad was literally the best salad I've ever had. Our waiter was superb and didn't miss a beat. He made the night perfect, the ambience was perfect.

Attended a bourbon event here and got the chance to meet the Master Blender for Uncle Nearest. The staff was very accommodating, from the valet, to the reception desks when we lost a cell phone. I so loved this event and Haven was a perfect spot for it as they feature over 300 bourbons to choose from. The appetizers paired nicely with the two cocktails and the tasting of 1884 and 1856.

I have been wanting to try Haven for a hot minute so I decided to stop by for my birthday dinner and it was even more incredible than I imagined it would be. We sat on the patio because we intended on getting happy hour food and drinks but after seeing the main menu and the wine selection we opted for a shared bottle and some plates. There were three of us so we split the bread and fat (not pictured), beef fat mushrooms, lamb, gochujang beef, chicken thighs, and an espresso martini. Every single dish had ingredients that popped and made for a beautiful plate all while tasting even better than they looked (how is that even possible??). The mushrooms were perfectly tender and soaked in a fat/ garlic/ shallot sauce, the lamb was well-cooked and juicy with a slight mint flavor and a wild tomato hummus that leveled up the whole dish, the gochujang beef was the tables favorite due to the presentation and mouth feel- it was light and melted in your mouth leaving behind a pleasant spice and the bits of crunchies added a great texture as well. The chicken thighs were cooked to perfection with the crispy side up, the sauce was perfect and while I usually shy away from okra, it tied the ingredients together and made for a comforting dish. The espresso martini was SO good, beans included so you know they’re serious. Finally, our waiter was the best and helped us pick a tasty bottle of wine, you could tell he really knew his stuff and he even brought out a special bday surprise for me, then offered to help us find a spot in the Bern’s dessert room if we so desired (we couldn’t eat another thing but this was so kind). I will be coming back whenever I can splurge again and would recommend Haven to any food lover.

Yesterday we had one of the best dinners since we moved from NY to Tampa in Haven. My drink was the hi, boo boo, and it was so good. Their oysters are super fresh and they already have a sauce - a nice and delicious kick. Next thing was the coal grilled octopus and it was so amazing. The potatoes that came on this dish had a nice crisp outside and they were so tender inside. We also tried the duck heart with cheese quinoa. The duck heart was PHENOMENAL, it tasted like fillet mignon. I did not try the quinoa because I am allergic (bummer), but my husband tried and he said that this was the best quinoa he ever tried. My main dish was a snapper with crab dumplings. SO AMAZING. For desert, we asked for the olive oil cake with white chocolate, berries and vanilla ice cream - such a fine desert and the best way to end our dinner. I absolutely loved our host (I didn't get his name, sorry 😥) and he explained all the plates in detail. The restaurant is beautiful inside. This is a keeper, and you should go to Haven as soon as you can!!

Among the best, creative restaurants across Central Florida. Originally Sidebern’s, a way for Bern’s to create a non-steakhouse restaurant. Bern’s will always be a steak house. Sidebern’s, now Haven, allows for maximum creativity with food. The drinks, the cheeses, one of the best happy hours!! Definitely a must go to restaurant in the region.

Good not great. A little bit underwhelmed. We ordered many different dishes but none really stood out. Cocktails were good and service was mediocre. We had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful waiter assistant- Kaitlyn who was a true delight.

Great place to dine. Incredible menu as would be expected being a sister of the Best Steak house in the country Berns. The Berns filet was cooked perfectly and the macadamia nut creme brulee was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Food was really tasty! Can't go wrong with any of the steak options on the menu. Sides: cheesy Mashed potatoes & Brussels Sprout salad are winners! Great and helpful service (Floridians are very nice!) Dimmed lighting made the space feel more intimate although this is a great spot to bring a group to

After trying Bern's, I had high expectations for Haven. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good in my opinion. You should get a reservation ahead of time and expect to valet as parking is nil to non existent. They seated us quickly and the server took our initial drink orders and got us a spot at the Harry Waugh dessert room for after dinner. The restaurant is decorated in a modern motif and puts a modern spin on certain dishes like tacos, duck, lamb, and oysters, There are steaks available, which is what I got, but I'd definitely go to Bern's or another steakhouse instead, Many of the dishes are small plate style so you can order several and share them with friends and family at the table. For the cost and experience, I've had better elsewhere so I'm not sure I'd go back. But like everything, to each their own. Take a look at the menu and if it piques your interests/tastes go for it.

For the money being spent just go to Berns. Just a lot of food that we don't consume on the menu or that didn't seem appealing. Steaks here are not served with anything whereas Berns it comes with sides. The restaurant is too dark! You literally have to use the light on your phone to even read the menu. We arrived in time for happy hour and we only knew that from the menus that were sat on the table. Our server wasn't engaged with us at all, didn't bother to let us know about happy hour or even that you can get a table at the dessert room at Berns if asked. Good thing my friend let me know this prior to us going. I sat there looking at how engaged the other servers were with their tables and it made me sort of jealous. I even began to ask ours a question and he walked away without me finishing my sentence! The food was ok -- nothing to rave about or set this place apart. The shredded beef taco was my favorite, you could tell that the tortilla was freshly made. For the amount we spent on dinner, I don't get the rave. Sorry, I'll save my money and go elsewhere because I've had better food and definitely better service!

At best, OK. Will not go into individual entrees but for the most part we ordered steaks. The beef steaks (Delmonico) were good, not great. Nothing bad to say but I have had better. At better prices. The lamb was excellent. Sides were average Brussel sprouts, very salty. Our server was excellent. On board with the table but not intrusive. All in all expect to pay a hefty sum.

Came here for Father's Day weekend. Loved the space. Great service, that knew their menu. We enjoyed the wine and charcuterie suggestions. Would have enjoyed more options for entrees as diverse as the charcuterie. It seemed to go from charcuterie to steaks and heavier stuff that was a little too heavy after kind of having charcuterie as a heavy appetizer. But it was a great place for drinks and a light early supper.

Hands down of my favorite restaurants in Tampa! Always a great experience here from the hosts to the servers, to the bartenders, everyone is so kind. The ambience is cozy yet elevated & the drinks are great! And the food?! Fantastic. Every. Time. I love how they rotate their menu, keeps things interesting & you always have a unique experience. Save extra room for dessert to experience Bern's dessert room. It's very worth it!

One of the best restaurants in Tampa for sure. Made a reservation for dinner on the patio and tried: + Castaway cocktail + BBQ oysters + Ricotta Cavatelli + Coal grilled octopus + Fried brussels sprouts salad + Cheese plate (happy hour deal) + Macadamia creme brûlée The highlights were the cocktail, brussels sprouts salad and cheese plate (the Camembert in particular was amazing). The oysters, octopus and creme brûlée were also excellent. They've done a great job with landscaping the patio, enough that you don't notice the nearby traffic as much. They also get bonus points for honoring happy hour at the table (rather than bar only). Would return!

Been to Haven twice and it did not disappoint! Had a reservation at 7:15pm and was seated right away. Everything we ordered on the menu was delicious. Haven is a sister restaurant of Berns Steakhouse and has some dishes from there that give you a little taste of Berns. Service was spot on as usual. What I Ordered: - Chef's Board: daily selection of 3 cheeses & 3 meats - Shaved Beef Taco: coal roasted onion, danger sauce, cabbage, smoked paprika - Tuna Crudo: asparagus conserva, caper, citrus, aioli, herb vinaigrette - Fried Brussels Sprouts Salad: spinach, ricotta salata, orchard fruits, quince vinaigrette - Glacier 51 Sea Bass: chanterelles, sweet corn, heirloom tomato, massaman curry butter - Mac & Cheese: rogue smokey blue, fontina, broccoli, jalapeno, chorizo - Dirt Pie: caramelia mousse, caraibe cremeux, coffee soil, scotch gummy worm

Big fan of Haven! We had a 6:45 reservation but weren't seated until after 7. We weren't in a rush and it was beautiful outside so we weren't too worried about it. There were 3 of us but we were seated at a big table on the patio, we could have fit 5 more if we had that many friends haha! For drinks I started with an espresso martini and ordered the liquid picnic (tito's vodka, fresh strawberry, pressed lemon, truffle honey) after. I prefer my espresso martinis creamy and this one wasn't, but still great! The liquid picnic was so interesting - the truffle flavor was really prominent but I still enjoyed it. My friends both had two extra dirty martinis. The bar was apparently super backed up so it took awhile to get our drinks each time. For food, we split the brussel sprouts (my favorite brussels in Tampa), the chef's board (3 cheese + 3 meat, I only wished that there weren't any spicy options because it limited what I wanted to keep eating), and got a shaved beef taco each. It was the perfect amount of food to not feel super full but be fulfilled for all 3 of us. I also love that if you want, the server can book a dessert room at Berns for after dinner. It's sometimes forgotten that Haven is Bern's sister restaurant, so they offer a Bern's filet and access to the dessert room. Really fun perk especially if you're dying to get a Berns experience without planning months in advance to get a resi!

This restaurant is really cool - feels very classy and high end. The menu is not big - tapas style charcuterie plates and the main entree menu is limited. All very delicious. Drinks are at a premium in terms of selection. The service is really good. From the valet to the hosts to the knowledgeable waitress we had. Really good date spot - would not recommend for kids.

Me and my group of coworkers dined at Haven in Tampa and had a fantastic experience. The Delmonico steak was delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. We also tried the cheeseboard, which was amazing with a great variety of cheeses. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Haven for a great dining experience in Tampa.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tampa I love their Brussels Sprouts salad , Delmonico Steak and their olive oil cake! Great Ambiance love the decor and food is superb!

We had a great time at Haven for New Years Eve dinner! We brought my 12 yo and he had steak and they even brought him some French fries to go with it! The bread and fat was amazing as an appetizer. The olive tapenade is so delicious! I had the seabass which I highly recommend and the guys had steaks! We loved our meals. My husband and I also shared the simple salad and it was very flavorful. For dessert we shared the macadamia creme Brule! Highly recommend. Also the valet parking is 3$

The service was by far the star of the show. Our waiter was so wonderful and gave detailed explanations of the menu, popular items, where the food is sourced l, etc. We fell in love with the Charcuterie and ordered a few tapas style appetizers as well. We were not dissapointed by a single item. They have non-alcoholic cocktails as well, which is always appreciated! Beautifully stunningly decorated as well!

This was our first time back here in a hot minute. It was also my birthday dinner and I'm sad to say it was very underwhelming. We started the night with a nat in my wine and cheese missing from our charcuterie board as well as moldy grapes on the board. This was particularly shocking. Once we overcame these missteps, the board was fine but nothing special. The real miss was the main. The fish was over cooked and in an odd sauce. The Mac n cheese sauce was under salted but worse, the sauce was broken and had an unpleasant grainy texture. Needless to say we did not take our left overs home. I think it will be awhile before we eat here again.

Haven is my favorite restaurant in Tampa. I have always had great food and service here. Haven Happy Hour is a must try for everyone, get there early so you can get a seat because it fills up quick! The menu is full of so many delicious entrees and it's constantly rotating with new dishes. My favorite is their brussel sprout salad. It is SOOOOO good, I always get it when I am here. We also love their octopus it's so yummy and flavorful. We tried their A5 Wagyu beef tacos as an appetizer and it was melt in your mouth delicious. I loved the use of lettuce for the taco. The cheese board is never a bad choice, who doesn't love delicious cheese. Lastly, we tried a new dish on the menu, French onion risotto, it was creamy and so good. Haven is a MUST MUST try in Tampa. You'll see why I love it so much

The waiter we had was super helpful and kind and attentive. Same with the rest of the staff. Beef tacos deserve so much more recognition they were delicious, and the grapefruit drink was perfect, they even added more syrup since I wanted my drink to be sweeter. Cheese board was amazing the pieces were small but still worth the money knowing how much fancy cheese costs. Miso cake dessert was sweet and salty and the ice cream tasted like banana pudding it was perfect

Fantastic happy hour! TIP: you have to arrive before the doors open at 5pm to get a spot at the bar though. Service was impeccable and cocktails came fast! The bourbon peach Palmer had delicious peach flavored boba balls...first time I've had them and they were delightful. The cheese plate is a good choice for happy hour and just a preview of what you would experience with one of the large boards, but perfect for a couple to share. We were able to get a pass to go to the Berns dessert room, which was amazing -- see review.

Had a fantastic dining experience at Haven last night! Really enjoyed the fine dining quality food in an upscale/casual environment. Really appreciated how far apart the tables were spaced inside to give privacy/comfort. Service was absolutely impeccable. Server had a great attitude and energy, and knew absolutely everything there was to know about the menu. We started with cocktails, and I went with the Old Fashioned. Done perfectly. I planned on switching cocktails (since everything looked so good) but stuck with this the whole night. The selection of meat and cheeses was crazy. Two pages of cheeses! Thankfully, our server knew everything there was to know about every one and made some spot on recommendations. The creamy Brie, spread on the bread with honeycomb, and iberico ham = perfection. The prosciutto with the espresso butter was also crazy delicious. After stuffing our faces with meats and cheeses and breads and honey for about 45 minutes - 1 hour, we decided we should order some food lol. Started with 1 order each of the oysters - 3 x pickled ramp mignonette, 3 x BBQ (chipotle, brown sugar, bourbon butter). Both fantastic, the BBQ was very different, but very good. Next, we went with the Quadrefiore pasta (pistachio, lemon, Calabrian Chili, pecorino, pea shoots). I loved the texture as it was very thick, creamy and al dente all at the same time. Then we shared the foie gras dumplings. These were sooooo good, but very rich! That sauce was to die for. I'm glad we ordered them, but also glad we shared. Next we had the crispy creamer potatoes (w lemon and truffle). Decent side. Can't really go wrong there. Finally, we had the dry aged strip. Given that haven is in the Berns family, we knew it would be great, and it was. Dessert = Berns cappuccino. Always a must when at Berns or haven, along with their house made ice cream. So good.

What a great experience we had at Haven! Went for a friend's birthday during happy hour. I ordered a burger and a skinny margarita. The burger had jalapeños and maple bacon jam. Phenomenal. What a great mix of flavors. It was cooked as asked. The valet is $3. Not bad. Especially if you decide you want to go to Bern's dessert room after. You can since Haven is a sister restaurant. Toward the end of your dinner, ask for a reservation for the dessert room at Bern's. When you've finished, you can walk to Berns and take advantage of the Haven valet. I would highly recommend a visit, especially during happy hour. The menu changes on average once a week!

Haven was a good place... Nice ambiance and vibe. Enjoyed the bar while waiting for our table, and it has a very complete cocktail list. We ordered a little bit of everything since we were a table of 9.... appetizers were all very good. Octopus, nice cheese and salumi selection oysters, etc. Everything was delicious. Main dishes were mostly on the spicy side, but luckily, most of us like spicy food... others were a bit disappointed. The crab fried rice under delivers. It is a $60+ dish, and in reality, you could skip this. It was rather bland in flavor. Short ribs were good, same for lamb hearts... Prices are on the higher side for a hit or miss kind of a menu. Service was perfect throughout the entire night.

Wow! This place is cool, the staff is incredibly engaging and knowledgeable and the food and drinks are perfectly prepared. We started with a chefs board and some grilled octopus. The sauce with this dish is amazing. I also had the tuna credo which was fresh and flavorful. Presentation is on point! We finished with the olive oil cake - also incredible. The atmosphere is loud and upbeat just like the staff and food.

Great restaurant for everything from charcuterie to a burger. They have the best drinks around and a great selection of bourbon and wine. We frequent for happy hour and sit at the bar. The food is always very good. The burger and the beef taco are always great. They also have a lot of items that you don't find other places such a kidney and liver. It's a dark lit restaurant and is perfect for a date or drinks with friends. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable.

Haven is dimly lit, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere for dates. It's also a nice spot for ladies night. It's not the perfect location for business dinners because the event room is right beside the kitchen. So you can hear "order up" quite frequently. A little distracting if anything. The bartenders are attentive and friendly. Parking lot is $3 valet or if you're lucky you may find street parking close by. Their Quadrefiore pasta is delicious! Their simple salad is beautifully and uniquely presented with delicate flowers atop. The blue cheese was very complementary. I didn't try the poached shrimp but was told it's nice. The Roasted Red Snapper was decent. If the skin was crispy, it would improve the dish in my opinion. I did it without the andouille. Unique dish but I would try something else next time.

Among the best, creative restaurants across Central Florida. Originally Sidebern's, a way for Bern's to create a non-steakhouse restaurant. Bern's will always be a steak house. Sidebern's, now Haven, allows for maximum creativity with food. The drinks, the cheeses, one of the best happy hours!! Definitely a must go to restaurant in the region.

Wonderful experience at Haven. We ended up sitting at the bar for the whole meal. The two ladies at the bar were wonderful. Gave great recommendations and were attentive and extremely friendly. We started with a charcuterie board and a bottle of Rioja. For my main dish I was craving Red snapper but it's preparation was made spicy. Our bartender offered to make the same fish but with a different preparation, with the lemon & garlic pierogi, spinach, sorrel, smoked roe. It was fantastic. My friend had the Bone Marrow Fried Rice: aged beef ribs, red chilies, hon-shimeji, soy pickled egg. They have $3 valet parking available. Recommend you make a reservation for a dinner table. They have limited hours: Tuesday-Thursday 5-9PM and Friday 5-10PM and Saturdays 5-10pm.

We stopped by for a few quick happy hour bites last night and OMG...what an experience! We started off with a truffle sheep milk cheese, which was bursting with creamy truffle flavor. It came with a side of bread and grapes, and the plate was beautiful! The main dishes consisted of a Berns dry-aged beef burger, which was huge and so delicious! The fresh mustard, pickles and unions really made the burger so delectable. The side of lobster mac n cheese was full of creamy pasta, broccoli and chorizo, and came with a hefty serving of lobster. All-in-all, the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and I will definitely be back to try the chef's cheese board and another delicious burger!

If you're in Tampa and looking for a nice place to eat, try Haven. The valet parking is helpful and gets your visit off to a great start. Start your meal with their curated cocktails. You'll love trying the unique flavors of their vodka based Boots With The Fur cocktail. The best dish we had was the Bern's Filet. The steak is juicy and cooked just right. The side dishes are great too. The menu is seasonal but everything we ordered was delicious. We also loved the BBQ Oysters seasoned with chipotle, brown sugar, & bourbon butter. The Shaved Beef Taco isn't as exciting as some of the other menu items but still excellent in taste! After dinner, ask the host about The Dessert Room. If you get a reservation, you'll find lots of delicious desserts to choose from. It's honestly why we chose Haven for my birthday dinner, because it was a busy Saturday but I wanted The Dessert Room. Haven is must visit. You can make reservations online, and it's in a great location. It's a the perfect place for a fun and simple night out.

For some reason, the photos taken in August have disappeared, or I forgot to upload. I found a few, to add to the post.

The happy hour is a winner. Old fashions and Tropical Lemonade quench even the biggest thirst. The pig ears. I hate pig ears but I felt like posing a challenge. You know, like on TV when they give a chef beets or something and then they have to make it great. Surprisingly great! It was more orange chicken like than pig ears, divine. Spam Msubi- I need to talk to the crazy chef that put this on the menu-I loved it. Reminded me of Hawaii but better. It's a huge piece of spam. If you don't know, you must try it. Chicken liver mousse. I carved the fat off the top and dug into the meaty spreadable deliciousness on a crisp so buttered, the butter dispersed in every bite. Cheese plate: everyone loves a cheese plate, don't be stupid. I wish I could tell you it was pricy but on happy hour, this was one of the most affordable meals I've had in a long Hyde Park while!

Berns sister restaurant and surprisingly much more modestly priced. Haven is a nice spot and it's within a walking distance of berns , i also found it much easier to get a reservation here than berns. Ambiance - it's nice , dimly lit for a cozy experience and definitely a spot to have a date. Food - broccoli rabe pretty good 7/10 Happy hour burger what an insane value at ten bucks I was expecting a little slider or smash burger no this was a thick patty cooked to perfection 9/10 considering it's great value. Carbonara pasta - I felt it could've used more salt it was okay 6.5/10 Macadamia ice cream - tasted like coffee to me , I didn't really get too much macadamia flavor but there were some macadamia pieces inside 7/10 Olive oil cake - now this was excellent , the cake is the perfect mix of dense and fluffy and the smoked ice cream on top made it even better. 9/10 Bbq bourbon oysters - I've confirmed with this that I am not a fan of liquor in my oysters I prefer it to be more subtle because there was major bourbon going on here. If your a fan of bourbon and bbq this would rock your socks off 7/10 Cheers everybody

First time here, had to make a reservation a week in advanced to get indoor seating. They do have lots of outdoor space but not for me at this heat. My husband have been here before but not me. They have the same owner as Bern's and if you want their steak, you can get it here. Unfortunately I don't eat steak, so cannot comment on that. We ordered two mocktails, they can make any you want, both sweet great. I love when places can make from scratch some non alcoholic drinks. We had bread&fat, bread was amazing! Tapenade was good, my husband loved it, but I just in general don't like olives so not a big fun of a tapenade. Spicy butter was ok, didn't love it. Bread was out of this world. Absolutely amazing. Simple salad was fine, but it didn't say that it had spinach and unfortunately my husband got pain from eating it. He cannot eat spinach, he is not allergic but cannot tolerate it. We specifically ordered this one to avoid spinach but after he ate it he thought that flowers were giving him an issue, but I actually found spinach inside and it all made sense. Crispy creamer potatoes were great, very unique, I believe had some nuts in it. Absolutely enjoyed those. We also had some melted cheese (forgot the name), seemed like Brie but wasn't Brie cheese, it had nice mushroom with it, super delicious. Snapper for the main, comes with very spicy sauce. We were warned, so they put it on the side, but honestly I believe it should have been mixed it. It was spicy but not super spicy. So I think we could have handled it. Dessert had no options that we liked, so that was the end. Service was pretty good, we enjoyed the experience a lot. I would say, it is a pricey place. And to be honest we've had better food in the area, so it wasn't amazing and wow. Overall we enjoyed it and would recommend.

This place was so delicious, we came in twice in one week. So impressed with the quality of food and the ambiance. I have been a fan of Bern's Steak House since 2015, however, we have never eaten at their sister restaurant. Last week was our 1st time visiting Haven. It was our son's birthday and we decided to try this restaurant featuring New American small plates, wine & cocktails as per recommendation of my friend. Tuna Sashimi, Hamachi Sashimi, Shaved Beef Taco, Seared Foie Gras, Cheese platter and Coal Grilled Octopus as appetizers were all 10/10. As for the main course we opted in for Glacier 51 Sea Bass (O.M.G.), Arctic Char, 8oz Filet Mignon (perfectly trimmed) and 10 oz Dry-Aged Strip. Drinks, 'Margarita', 'Lemon Drop' and 'Moscow Mule', were good as well with the exception of the 'Duck Duck Jeep' (it was an odd one). We did not try their desserts (both times) as 1st time visiting we brought a cake for our son's birthday, however, we were never super impressed with Berns' dessert room. I know it may sound weird to many as they are known for their desserts, but truthfully, we have had desserts at other local restaurants that we prefer over Berns'. Service by Madeline K. was on point, however, she accidentally forgot to place the main course item for our birthday boy, so he ended up getting his filet about 15 minutes after everyone else received their meals. It did not spoil our night as she brought out the cake with large candle with sparkles and it was fantastic! Our son was so surprised and I was able to capture some awesome pictures of him with his cake and candles. Overall an excellent experience by everyone: valet guy, bussers, food runners, hostesses and the wait staff. We also appreciated the fact that we were seated at a larger table/couch with brighter lights vs more of a romantic, darker tables. Our second time we requested to sit outside which was nice as it was a pleasant evening. Haven's tacos are my husband's favorite in Tampa and we ordered 16 of them that night. If you are not up to dressing up in your best outfits, but would like a nice quality meal, Haven is your spot!

This weekend a large group of us dined at Haven in the private "Chef's Suite" room to celebrate a friend being in town. I made the reservation that same day and Natalie was the one who assisted with making the reservation. She was wonderful and very helpful in getting everything finalized. When we showed up, we were super surprised to see that the room actually had curtains that revealed a glass window that allowed us to see into the kitchen! Our server Dan was amazing. We were there to have fun and he made it such an enjoyable experience for us. The food was good (like always) but I really wanted to highlight our experience in the private dining room! I only discovered that day that they even had private dining available and would definitely recommend booking it for any event with a large group as the room accommodates up to 20 guests!

My husband and I can't figure out how it's possible, but Haven continues to exceed our expectations with every single visit. Last Saturday we celebrated yet another milestone with our favorite people at Haven. Just like our last anniversary celebration with them, they managed to make our evening one of the most special to date. From being greeted by name by the general manager, to the lovely visits from the sweet staff while we were dining, paired with the company of my amazing husband of 23 years- It was truly another flawless evening. We strayed from our usual board, appetizers, fried brussels sprout, salad, and dessert programming.... And my husband enjoyed a ridiculously perfect steak, well, I had the best piece of snapper I have ever consumed in my life. We had to get the bread and fat as an appetizer. It is truly a celebration in and of itself. Being surprised with a champagne, toast, amazing, desserts, and the best cappuccinos in Tampa only added to the 15/10 experience. We just love this place and the people who make it special!!!! Extra special love for this wonderful evening to Maddie, Brie, Matt and Jenna!!!!

Date night was fantastic! Ambiance (especially outside) is wonderful! The service and food is amazing and being Berns sister restaurant you have some of the same cuts of steak as an option! The Sea Bass was absolutely amazing; possibly the best I've ever had! I highly recommend it and Haven!

Their menu is pretty eclectic. Charcuterie was really good. Both scallop dishes were just ok. Love the decor of the restaurant. The staff were really welcoming and the vibe was nice. Great date night spot. As always, the dessert at Berns was amazing.

We had a reservation initially for 2 but last minute one of our friends decided to join. We notified the hostess and even though they were busy they were still able to accommodate. Our sever was attentive by making sure we were satisfied and constantly refilling our water. The service was exceptional. The food was great, the BBQ oysters and the Dirt Pie were definitely the show stoppers of the night, I highly recommend. The oysters had the sweet bbq sauce with a slight spicy flavor which I think was extremely we'll balance. The Dirt Pie is not only very creative but delicious. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I am excited to go again. Till next time!

We went for a quick happy hour and it was amazing. The service was great from the hosts to our waitress! Food was tasty we loved the Berns steak, however the crab rangoons were a little disappointing. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back!

Very interesting menu! Saw some unfamiliar dishes like from duck hearts to rabbit kidneys. My group and I got there during happy hour and I will say their happy hour deals are phenomenal - good prices and sizes of meals! Ordered: - whipped feta (delicious!) - berns dry aged cheeseburger (good and for only $10 it was a steal) - cheese board (nice mix and price) - BBQ oysters (excellent and unique - oysters are really small though) - Hamachi Sashimi (tasty but small for the $ price tag) - Dirt Pie (sooo yummy and creative) Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some other stuff on the menu!

I went here for my birthday and I hate to say, was very disappointed. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but I was not impressed with the food. Ambience was also a little strange, the waitstaff was wearing jeans and just seemed to be dressed very casually for this nice of a place, but oh well. To start we ordered 3 cheeses, which were good but $6 for a single ounce of cheese is outrageous, even for a "small plates" place. Unfortunately that was the only thing I liked though. Then we had the Brussels sprouts salad which was literally just over-charred Brussels leaves mixed with some other ingredients. Tasted like the kitchen tried to make a salad out of leaves that fell out of the pan onto the burner lol. However, my entree was the biggest disappointment. I ordered the Pork Collar on recommendation by the waiter, because my interested was piqued by the morel mushrooms and shaved truffles. Unfortunately the sauce was so salty and strong that it completely overpowered any of the delicate mushroom flavor. The pork collar itself was very fatty, and seems to be a cut better served for use as a component and not the main star of the dish. Imagine if your main entree was a large hunk of bacon, that's what I'm talking about. The waiter was kind enough to take it back and not charge us for the dish thankfully. Unfortunately though, my mom also didn't like her entree, the sea scallops, which arrived mostly cold and was just a weird combination of flavors (cold feta cheese, middle eastern chickpea salad, and scallops?). The Mac and cheese we ordered as a side was also below par, barely warm, and honestly tasted worse than Stouffer's. Thankfully my dad liked his entree (the red snapper) so the entire night wasn't a flop. Our waiter listened to our concerns and tried his best to make my night better which I appreciate :). I know Haven changes the menu often so maybe we just got unlucky with what we picked, but I probably won't be coming back to try it again at the price point.

Long-time customers here. We really enjoy the style of food the chef's prepared at Haven. Their menu is not like any other in Tampa. A lot of their dishes are served tapas style for sharing. Their charcuterie boards are what really stand out. If you order the chef's board, it will basically be items the chef picks out, some of which will not be available to build your own board, for example, our favorite cheese: the rattlesnake cheese This is a spicy cheese that they have offered for a while, and it is so delicious, and I recommend it. They also have gluten free crackers for your board by the way. Service is always great at Haven. Their indoor setup and decor is very nice. They also have a great patio with a garden where they are growing herbs and flowers. Parking is valet o ly. There is some street parking and free parking available in the parking garage across the street.

So glad we stuck with this reservation. After a long day, we almost cancelled and stayed in, but the food made the visit all worth while. Our initial entry was not as welcoming as I would have liked. She was not rude, but not pleasant. The ambiance is nice with a large open floor plan. My only issue with the ambiance is the table we were at had poor lighting. It made a difficult read while reviewing the menu. We ordered the steak and snapper. I hate I did not take pictures, but when I say the snapper dish is absolutely delicious, just believe me. I had no intent to return, but I must have the snapper again.

We went to Haven last week for a little celebration . We had the Chef's Board...which is always amazing and so much bigger than I remember. We then shared the Sweetbread Carbonara and Broccoli Rabe. Both were delicious and just enough after the board. I would say the best part of the whole experience was our server. He was so friendly and helpful. We talked at length about cheese and which ones we love and his suggestions. He was definitely the best server I have ever had. It's been a week since we went, and now I can't remember his name. Haven never disappoints, but this visit was really wonderful.

Food felt fancy for the sake of being fancy. Overpriced. Definitely much better options. Service and cocktails were good.

Last night was my first time trying out Haven and it was such a wonderful experience. It's a unique dining concept in the heart of SoHo w/ charcuterie, craft cocktails, an extensive wine and cheese list. I definitely recommend sharing several small plates within your group in order to try all the options. Pro Tip: happy hour is where it's at & they are able to secure you a reservation to the dessert room at Bern's following your meal. (might only be weekdays, i'd double check!) What we ordered: 1. Chef's board: daily selection of 3 cheeses & 3 meats 2. Spicy Mac & Cheese: rattlesnake cheddar, sour cream, chive, crispy shallot - absolutely phenomenal 3. Raw oysters: pickled tamp mignonette 4. Bern's Dry Aged Cheeseburger with fried chorizo - the juicy flavor of this burger was unmatched. dessert room: 5. Vintage Chocolate Lush Sundae 6. Strawberry Shortcake 7. Salted caramel bread pudding Everything we had truly was phenomenal, a 10/10 meal!

Haven was a pretty good spot. We went there for Valentine's Day and they had a set menu and also offered a wine pairing. The ambience is really nice. Very dim restaurant makes for a sexy time. The food was really good. The only qualm I had was that the short rib was a little dry and lacking sauce. The bartender and service was very good. Everyone had a great attitude and make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I will return to try the regular dinner menu sometime soon.

What a beautiful restaurant with an incredible menu. We arrived 5 minutes after opening and the bar was nearly full for their happy hour. The happy hour menu is a fantastic deal and changes frequently--I'm already planning my next visit. $6 wines, and $8-10 appetizers. The chicken liver mousse was recommended by the bartender and was incredible. We also had the happy hour cheese plate and octopus off the full menu. It all was delicious and service was perfect.

The absolute best happy hour in all of Tampa-and just the best in general! Octopus is amazing, large cheese selection, fabulous service! Our go to for anniversary's

Haven took me on a food journey that brought joy to my soul! The bread to start off was great including the sauces paired with it. The sea bass was buttery and flavorful. The crème brûlée was one of a kind creamery yet not too rich . Service and atmosphere was top tier
