Wow, Wow, & Wow!!! Last night we took our granddaughter out to celebrate her 20th birthday. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and escorted to our table. The overall ambience of Hav & Mar is spacious, yet cozy. The seating is quite comfortable. Our server, Helen, was friendly and quite knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with the blue cornbread. It was so delicious and easily served the three of us. Helen was able to tell us more info about the Japanese spice that gave the cornbread a little extra kick. We ordered Havatini 2.0, Bbq Salmon, and Farmers Market Curry along with a side of Biryani Fried. As we ate, the only thing we each could continually utter was "hmmm, wow". Each bite was so flavorful, delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, hubby ordered raspberry sorbet with vanilla bean ice cream and the birthday girl ordered Bunna Banana. Again 10 out of 10. All in all we enjoyed a lovely birthday celebration. Thank you Marcus and the entire staff for an outstanding experience. We can't wait to return. Wow! read more

The ambience is beautiful and sultry, service was great as well. The small plates were SMALL like barely shareable which was a shame but really tasty nonetheless. We got the scallops, lamb dumplings, and crudo for small plates then the addis york, sea bass, and pasta for entrees. The Addis York was the star. The pasta just felt like a seafood pasta. It wasn't bad but I wish there was more cultural influence in the dish as it's something I could order anywhere. The sea bass was good but the dish was definitely lacking. It could've used some farro or any carb - just the bass and lettuce left one of us hungry. The Addis York was delicious, loved how it had that cultural twist and it was so good. The food has good flavors but I think there could be more cohesiveness and I would've liked to see more of the Swedish/Ethiopian influence throughout. read more

Came to this seafood forward restaurant boasting Ethiopian and Swedish cuisine by Marcus Samuelsson, for dinner, with some friends. I've been wanting to dine here since opening. Upon arrival, we were led to cozy booth seating. The interior was stunning, colorful, and elegant, with a mermaid motif. There was unique artwork throughout, lots of lights, and sprawling bar area. We ordered the Bread Basket and Crab Biryani to share. Both tasted amazing! The Bread Basket consisted of an assortment of Flatbread, Injera Crisps, Teff Biscuits, Blue Cornbread, along with Hummus and Plantain Chutney. The Flatbread was buttered, soft, and topped with flavorful spices. Injera Crisps were satisfyingly crispy and well seasoned. Biscuits were also buttery and perfectly pillowy. Cornbread was melt in your mouth delicious. The sauces were wonderfully savory and complimented the various breads well. Crab Biryani was nicely crispy with a decent amount of crab and bold in flavor. For my entree, I went with the Black Sea Bass. The Sea Bass was pan seared with a sambal sauce and coconut foam, along with a rice ball. I enjoyed this dish, but when I started eating it, I encountered a few small bones, which I was not expecting. Also, the skin could have been crispier. Besides that, the Sea Bass was delightfully tender, flaky, and seasoned well. Rice Ball was mouthwateringly crunchy and quite yummy. The Coconut Foam was light and refreshing, with strong coconut taste. I was able to try the Coffee Cured Duck. The Duck was sliced on top of a butternut squash puree, with an accompanying duck salad. The sliced duck portion was way too small, however was delicious! I could really discern the coffee and the duck was cooked to perfection, and oh so succulent. Service was excellent. Our waiter was super personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were on the higher side, but on par with the area and standard for a high level restaurant. I would be open to returning to try the Grilled Lamb Chops, Hav Fries, and Ethiopian Princess Cake. read more

Arrived @ the start of dinner and I love knowing I'll get fresh, newly energized food and service! This restaurant is thoughtful, intentional, and nurturing - from start to finish. We started off with the blue cornbread (not pictured but DELICIOUS), then the Summer Salad (vacuumed). The main dishes were paired perfectly for sharing and tasting, I LOVE the mermaids in the restaurant, I love the lighting and wooden chandeliers. The ambiance gives a great touch to the space and set the tone for the lovely evening that followed. Thank you for filling our bellies and inspiring food palate expansion! read more

This was a divine dining experience. The food was amazing, and the ambiance was so moody with the dimmed lighting, and felt very posh. The service was great. Our waitress was super nice and smiley, and the food came out pretty fast. We got the octopus skewer, biryani fried rice, dumplings, and this really yummy seafood salad. Every dish was so well balanced, especially with balancing out the acidic flavors of the dish with the rich sauces on the plate. Was amazing, and have to try if you're around the area. read more

I really want to like this place, but it is over hyped! I was looking forward to trying this place because of Marcus and I love seafood. I got the oysters and pasta. The oysters didn't taste fresh. The pasta was meh. I didn't enjoy the overall flavors of this dish. I told the server that I can't eat tomatoes but a light sauce is fine. He definitely took it to heart--maybe a little bit too much. After that, I wasn't able to order anything else aside from the pasta. At one point, when the person next to me offered me some chicken katsu skewers, he said "no!". I had to reassure him multiple times that it will be fine. It got pretty annoying! Spoiler alert--I ate it, and I survived! I appreciate the caution but it was overbearing. read more

My boyfriend and I have tried several restaurant week deals and this was our favorite. 4/5 stars because it was quite pricey for what we got, but the majority of it was worth it. The bread basket is a must-order - sadly not on the restaurant week menu but worth the price. For starters we got the gazpacho and the swediopian. Swediopian was good but nothing crazy and 3 small pieces of fish. The entrees were our star of the menu - Nordic forest curry was so flavorful and surprisingly filling, and my bf loved his chicken ramen. The dessert was a little disappointing. The banana tiramisu had an only a couple of pieces of banana, but the pavlova dessert was tasty. The service was truly excellent and our server was very attentive and kind. read more

This was a special tasting w/ restaurant Yakitoro Kono (chef atsushi kono) A mixture of hip hop sounds in the atmosphere from Chef Atsushi backgrounds of breakdancing, but the food has chef Fariyal, Marcus, and Atsushi hands all over it. the decor have me great gatsby, love the artwork by Derrick Adams a fellow baltimore native and being able to see the entire kitchen was a cool concept. The food covered every taste bud you have from sour, sweet, savory, umami, and more. Also touching various regions like European, African to Asian. The FOH held the service down, bar tender was attentive and resourceful, providing me with laughs and knowledge of the menu. This was memorable moment for me and my crew, now I have to come back for Hav & Marv staple tasting to see how they hold up beyond the collab The food that stood out to me the most were: - blue cornbread, tuna tartare, Kawa, Addis York and Ethiopian Princess cake - they were chef kiss This tasting was a build it yourself different from the usually preorder ticket, but it was great splitting with friends and sharing the food; still got filled by the shared portion plus had leftovers. I highly recommend this restaurant as a must go to if you haven't been and if you have been come again read more

I am not going to try to hide that I had really high expectations going in to this visit. I had read a lot about the restaurant, and I've been wanting to visit for quite a while now. The marriage of flavors and techniques across what looks like completely different cultures intrigues me. Spoiler: they did not disappoint! From the greeting at the door through the entire evening the staff was impeccable in their service. Adjusting tone, familiarity, and professionalism as the conversation called for. We felt like visiting a family member, while at the same time being cared for as a professional. Amazing night. The cocktails are divine! They are fun plays on ingredients and culture, without going overboard and just becoming weird. They're layered and complex, while still almost crushable. Food is almost impossible to describe. There are so many flavors and cultures meeting here that I can't do them all justice. To say "great Ethiopian" or "modern American", or "French techniques at their best", or "fun twist on a Swedish classic" while true also diminishes what they become as a whole. Don't take my word for it, experience it yourself. My only recommendation is to go as a larger group, so you can order _everything_ on the menu and share bites; because that is my only regret from my visit - not being able to try it all. read more

If you're looking for a place to warm up in this cold weather, Hav & Mar is the place for you. Not so much because of the indoor temperature, but because of the incredibly warm and welcoming staff. Rarely have I encountered this combination of true professionalism combined with joyfulness and warm hospitality. Even if the food wasn't as great as it is, I would come back just to be around the people! Food-wise, I'd especially recommend the lamb dumplings, but the octopus, black cod, and Nordic forest (mushroom) curry were also great. We had the chocolate tart for dessert, which was both delicious and just plain fun to eat, with great flavor and lots of fun textures between the crispy crust, creamy topping, chunks of cake, and airy foam. To add to the coolness factor, Chef Marcus Samuelsson was there that evening, not only expediting but coming out to greet a few tables. I highly recommend giving Hav and Mar a try. I'm confident it will put a smile on your face like it did mine. read more

What a treat it was to enjoy another Marcus Samuelson restaurant in great company to kick off the new year! It was over a decade ago when I first dined at Aquavit when Samuelson was at the helm. Now in 2026, I was glad to share another memorable dining experience at another one of his restaurants. Hav & Mar is a beautiful restaurant with an inviting bar area that welcomes you as soon as you walk through the doors. With a reasonable happy hour menu, the bar was a great spot for mingling before you sit down for your meal. The dining menu was definitely globally-influenced in a good way. There were starter options such as ceviche and entree options such as a Nordic Forest curry. With a group of six, we wanted to try many of the items on the menu. Therefore, I suggested we opt for the chef's table option and leave it up to the chef to curate our culinary adventure for the evening. That turned out to be one of the best decisions for the new year (so far)! We were first greeted with the Fluke Ceviche that we were planning to order and got three plates to share among the six of us, along with some amazing warm dinner rolls. The ceviche was refreshing, with just the right amount of acidity. Then came a salad dish that might have been off the menu, with chopped kale, fresh figs, grapefruits, etc. that offered various textures with each bite. When it came to entree time, we got the following three items: Nordic Forest Curry, D & D Salmon (2 portions), and Havatini 2.0 (2 portions). We also got three portions of the Hav Fries, which included yucca and sweet potato fries with shiro hummus and awaze dips. The curry and salmon were delicious and complex in taste. Although not a fries person, I also enjoyed the fries a lot. On the other hand, the Havatini was on the spicier side that even my Korean friends stayed away from the dish after a couple bites as the spicy aftertaste was a bit overwhelming. For dessert, we got three portions of the orange Pavlova, which was just the light approach we needed to tie a bow on an incredible meal. In terms of service, the entire team was friendly and responsive to our group. Kudos to that! read more

I had dinner at Hav & Mar with my husband and some friends on Saturday, and we enjoyed our meal. Our friends had been before and were happy to return; I had had the restaurant on my list for a while and was excited to try it for the first time. We shared quite a bit of the menu. We started with the Hav Bread Basket (assortment of teff biscuits, warm blue cornbread, injera crisps and flatbread, served with shiro hummus, honey butter, and seasonal jam). Our friend who'd been before insisted on the bread basket. I'm not normally a bread person, but she was right - the bread basket of all bread baskets. That shiro hummus?! The plantain jam?! Next, we had two of their raw and cured dishes: Swediopian (cured salmon, sliced and served with fresh sea buckthorn, a light fennel salad, a spiced mustard sauce, and topped with a coffee injera crumble) and tuna tartare (hand-cut tuna in a flavorful miso with a walnut oil drizzle, accompanied by a citrusy avocado crema and crispy injera chips). They were both fine but not memorable. I was surprised that I didn't get many of the flavors listed on the menu. I didn't taste the sea buckthorn or spiced mustard or coffee on the Swediopian, and I didn't get the citrus in the avocado crema (which I thought tasted a bit underseasoned) in the tuna tartare. Next, we had the lamb dumplings (tender lamb folded into delicate dumplings, finished with spicy red curry and injera crumble), which were very good, very flavorful. Then, we shared several of their entrees: Nordic Forest Curry (mushroom medley and seasonal vegetables in fragrant coconut curry with cilantro rice); Havatini 2.0 (campanelle pasta with a mix of shrimp and crab, served in a right white wine uni butter sauce); Addis York (flavorful fried chicken with bold Ethiopian doro wot stew topped with ayib cheese and accompanied by a soft-boiled egg); and coffee cured duck (served with a crispy duck salad, earthy roasted carrot, and rich duck jus). Of these, I thought the Addis York and coffee-cured duck were great. The veg curry and pasta dishes didn't do it for me (the pasta in particular stuck out like sore thumb from the rest of our meal - just a flat dish). For dessert, we had their Orange Pavlova (a crisp meringue topped with vanilla bean whipped cream and refreshing blood orange sorbet) and their chocolate tart (rich chocolate filling in a crisp crust, finished with an airy black tea foam and bright candied lemon). I preferred the orange pavlova, which was a good dessert. The chocolate tart was a little ... bland? I hardly even tasted chocolate. My husband had a couple of cocktails, and I had a couple of glasses of wine. Our friends stuck to an NA drink that was really refreshing. The restaurant is beautiful - sophisticated but still very comfortable. And the service was excellent - friendly, helpful. I didn't love every single dish, but I loved some a lot (bread basket, Addis York, lamb dumplings, coffee-cured duck). And the experience - especially the service - put the meal over the top for a four star experience. I'd definitely check it out again. read more

I'm hitting up their perfectly curated Mermaid Hour that'll absolutely leave you wanting more. I went in thinking I'd just grab a couple bites and somehow ended up cleaning every single plate. I started drinks off with the Sorrel, topped with a slice of blood orange and clean mint. She was supper flavorful, refreshing, with hints of ginger for a bit of tanginess. For my first bite I had to get the fried olives and as someone who normally does not like olives... these had me questioning everything. Crispy, salty, a bit sour, but dangerously addictive and paired well with the spicy mustard. Up next we have the FISH CRUNCHWICH and I'm not exaggerating when I say I was literally licking my fingers after every bite. The fish was perfectly crispy, the Yuzu Tartar sauce was insane, blending everything together seamlessly. Lastly I had the Hav Smash and this was definitely my number 1. The burgers were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and I just never knew how bad hot honey and burgers need to go together. I had to finish everything off with a lemon drop martini. Perfectly sweet, refreshing and the perfect way to end the meal. The portions were small, but really good especially for one person, and every dish actually felt worth ordering. Safe to say I will absolutely be back for Mermaid Hour. read more

Ordered: Tivoli Gardens (~$16): Swedish aquavit with raspberry, pineapple, hibiscus, and fresh mint Ka-Shasha Fierce (~$17): cachaça infused with fresh herbs, floral orange blossom, and earl grey tea Hav Bread Basket (~$21): assortment of teff biscuits, warm blue cornbread, injera crisps, and flatbread served with shiro hummus, honey butter and seasonal plantain jam Addis York (~$35): fried chicken with Ethiopian doro wat stew topped with ayib cheese, and a soft-boiled egg Restaurant Week Menu (~$60pp) - Fluke Ceviche: chilled fluke cured in citrusy yuzu with carrot and fresh cilantro - Swediopian: cured salmon, sliced and served with fresh sea buckthorn, a light fennel salad and a spiced mustard sauce topped with a coffee injera crumble - Second Course: Havatini 2.0: campanelle, shrimp, crab, uni butter - Third Course: Orange Pavlova: vanilla bean whipped cream, blood orange sorbet Aya's take: Hav & Mar is a Swedish & Ethiopian restaurant which is a fusion concept you just never hear about! It's a seafood-focused restaurant so we leaned into that with our orders. We stopped by for Restaurant Week 2026; they offer a 3-course meal for ~$60. I tried 2 starter dishes, the Fluke Ceviche and Swediopian. It's certainly smaller than what it would be a la carte which I wish was made clear on the RW menu. Not my favorite but both were fresh, citrusy, and bright. I'm so glad we got the Hav Bread Basket; that is a must for the table! Every single bite in that basket was delicious. I can't decide what I liked more - the teff biscuits or the blue cornbread. The injera crisps were so creative and each of the dips paired well with the breads. For my main, I went with the delicious Havatini 2.0. This is probably the same as their a la carte portion. The uni butter is rich and luscious. There was a good amount of shrimp and crab, and the campanelle was such a unique pasta choice and paired well for this dish. We also added on the Addis York since that is one of their classic dishes. The fried chicken was sweet, smoky, and fried well and the doro wat stew was bursting with flavor. I've also never had a soft-boiled egg cooked to perfection like that. It's a stunning dish, and honestly, it's a shame they didn't include this on their RW menu. We ended with the Orange Pavlova and had a few cocktails which were strong & nice to sip on. The space is elevated, chic, and modern. We also had the pleasure of seeing Chef Marcus Samuelsson himself! Good experience overall! read more

Great vibe, music and service. Modern inside with lovely mermaid art. Enjoyed most of the food and drinks. Started with fluke ceviche and curry goat dumpling. Both were good except the portion for the ceviche felt pretty light. I think it felt stretched in a plate too big for its size. The black bass was cooked perfectly light. There was some kind of crispy ball with it. Honestly have no idea what it was but it was delicious. Dessert was ok - tried the chocolate tart. Nothing wrong with it but nothing to highlight. Espresso was just right to cap the evening. read more

Overall wanted to like this restaurant more than I did. Unfortunately we had cases of food poisoning from this restaurant I think from the Addis York which was extremely disappointing. We started with the bread basket which was great. Small for the price though. The goat dumplings were very gamey. The spring salad was also average. The sauce was quite greasy but the cook on the dumplings was good. The salmon seemed a bit under but ok. No one liked the mussels rice cake underneath. The mushroom curry was the crowd favorite and had great flavor. The grilled chicken was cooked well but tasted average. The Addis York tasted weird but ok until we realized that caused the food poisoning due to process of elimination of who ate what. The service was awesome. The vibe was beautiful. But unfortunately the food did not meet expectations. read more

Hav & Mar - $2 oysters - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

Liked it but didn't love it. Easily made a reservation for 4 people for dinner on a weeknight and tried: + Dirty Hendricks martini cocktail + Holy molé cocktail + Biryani fried rice + Hav Bread basket + Addis york + Winter salad + hamachi with black ceviche + bbq broccolini + Birria branzino + Hav fries I really liked the martini, and the best dishes were the hamachi, bread basket (biscuits were particularly amazing) and hav fries. Winter salad was also great. The branzino was supposed to be the showstopper, but it was a letdown / really fishy. Service was good. Overall probably won't be back because it is in an awkward area / not necessarily worth going out of the way for. read more

Updating on the summer menu! The fluke ceviche was great (use a spoon and get the sauce!). The octopus a la plancha was very good- use the sauce sparingly so it doesn't overwhelm the flavor.

Dinner for 3 on Saturday night. This is my second time dining and I'm a fan. It's a bit out of the way if you're in BK but it worked for where we were heading after. It's the perfect spot to eat after a Thursday gallery night! Both times, the Havatini was to die for! It's a must order. The broccolini was so crunchy and so flavorful to offset the richness of the havatini. The hake entree was also a winner. Had to get the Hav yucca fries too. The sauces on all the dishes were so flavorful. Apparently, the chef is Swedish-Ethiopian and the dishes are inspired by both cultures. My Swedish friend also tried the aquavit (infused-spirits) and said it was authentic. The dessert was to die for - we shared the Glogg Poached Pear with rosemary pavlova, orange chutney and maple whipped cream. Would return just for this. Ambiance is modern, mature, and stylish. read more

Came here for Restaurant Week as I was intrigued by the concept of Ethopian-Swedish food. I was surprised that I could get a last minute reservation (and was able to shift it when I was running late) and sat at the bar. I was seated by the POS system and got a lot of attention from the staff, particularly my server Carlos. Since I'd arrived 15 minutes after I originally planned, I was worried about having enough time to get to my show. When I told Carlos I was on a bit of a time crunch, he was immediately on board with helping to expedite things. I particularly appreciated how he offered to get my dessert brought out with my entree so I wouldn't have to eat up time waiting for my third course. What a mensch. I opted for the Swediopian berbere-spiced salmon, the wild mushroom curry, and the chocolate cake. Carlos recommended the perfect white wine that was able to pair perfectly with both fish and mushrooms. The salmon was fantastic, but I wish I had had a spoon for the apple water broth surrounding it. The mushroom curry was perhaps the best curry I'd ever eaten. It was earthy with the perfect amount of heat. I wish there had been a bit more liquid for the rice and one of the potatoes was a bit underdone, but otherwise perfection. The chocolate cake was decadent and perfectly made. I'm still thinking about the varying textures of each layer. It was an excellent value. The noise level was a bit too much for me, but sitting at the bar and being face to face with the servers made it easier. Highly recommend, and compliments to the chef! read more

What a beautiful evening at Hav & Mar. We wanted to snag a resi at a nice restaurant on a recent trip, and a local friend suggested this. We arrived early for our reservation so we sat at the bar for our first drink. I got a Hav & Mar Martini and my friend got the Express yourself which is their version of the espresso martini. On a saturday night at 8 pm the bar was packed and the restaurant was full, it was a total vibe. I love how it feels to be in a bustling restaurant. We sat down at the high top table facing the kitchen. It was such a cool experience and view. For dinner - we couldn't decide what to order but the "can't decide" option caught our eye. For $95 pp you can let the chef decide what to send out. We're all adventurous eaters so we let our server know about dietary restrictions and she asked us what things caught our eye and let her and the chef do the rest. It was AMAZING! We got sent: +biscuits +hamachi with black ceviche +Autumn Salad +Banana Leaf Snapper with coconut rice +Havatini: a pasta with shrimp, crab and uni butter. +Brussel Sprouts: +Tiramisu and Pumpkin Donuts for dessert That list looks like a ton of food but it was A TON of food. They sent out two of each entree as well as two hamachis. In my opinion, it was actually too much food as we could barely eat dessert. We are three girls who can definitely throw down and eat a lot, but we couldn't make it through all the dishes. My suggestion would be to perhaps send out one entree per person versus 4 plates for 3 people - so you can try three different things and have some room for dessert? Regardless, the experience was amazing and interesting to be surprised - I just hate to waste food. I loved the meal and vibe of Hav & Mar. If you're looking for a spectacular dinner, make a reservation here. read more
