Food and drinks are always good. Elder on tap. Loved the Haven + Eagle Rare Bourbon collab.
Unfortunately the curse of blind pig has struck another. Cocktail quality and selection is 5 star, food quality has plummeted.
We went for the annual Pliney the Younger pour, and got the full flight. It was missing a few of my favorites, like the funky foeder, but it was still a pretty strong selection. The wife and I split it, and it worked well. She likes IPAs, and I like sours. Brunch was also excellent. My chicken and savory waffle hit the spot, and my wife always gets the duck confite chillaquillas . I want to try everything on the menu. The whiskey list is extensive, and everybody found a nice digestif.
Great old fashion cocktail
Food excellent, craft beer (Russian River on tap) excellent. Service, not so good. Our waiter was slow and looked sleepy. I would also rather he not hover while I decide how much I should or should not tip when closing out my bill. Brussels Sprouts (got it without the pork), half chicken was surprisingly good but could not substitute the polenta, pappardelle pasta dish with a red pesto I have never had before a nice touch and flavor. Pliny the Elder on tap, Pliny the Younger served until 5 pm. Cheers! Vegetarian options: Removed meat from our order of Brussels Sprouts and had excellent flavor and crispiness. Kid-friendliness: Burger was eaten rather quickly by my daughter, and it must've been very good and to her liking.
Most of these reviews must be fake because Haven is awful! We went here many years ago and had not been back since but couldn't remember why so we decided to give it another shot. We were so disappointed...and a bit worried it might make us sick. The halibut was mushy and the second he placed it in front of me it didn't smell right. Halibut should be firm and flakey. I tried to eat just the veggies on the side and they were undercooked. I sent it back and swapped it out for the pasta with chicken. The chicken had the oddest texture too. My friends ordered steaks and 2 of them said their steaks were rubbery and if it hadn't been for me already sending my meal back they would have sent theirs back too. To top it off the service was severely lacking...I had to ask numerous times to get the tiny little water glass refilled. And the place is so loud you have to yell to talk. My voice was tired after leaving this place. We will NEVER be back to Haven.
