Haven Tuesday Burger night is great! First the atmosphere of the restaurant is just right up my alley. Great place for after work drinks and apps. Now on to the burger night, $15 for a delicious Haven burger and a wine or beer! Great deal either way, but when you look at the quality of the meat and toppings, you really see this should be more like a $25-$30 deal. It was absolutely amazing and juicy, filled with flavor! We will definitely be back! Haven can get pricy depending on what you are ordering outside of the burger night. Just something to keep in mind. They've got delicious desserts too. We had the special that night, cinnamon and sugar dusted donuts with Nutella ice cream....pretty wonderful if I do say so myself! read more

Haven Restaurant and Bar - Half of the Haven burger on Tuesday night! Very delicious with onions, smoky bacon and delicious, juicy burger! - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Brunch today was pretty fantastic. It was my mother-in-law's birthday and she chose Haven as the meeting place for our family. When we showed up at 11:50 our table for 8 was waiting for us. Our server, David, stopped by to check in although the rest of our party hadn't arrived. He was quick to proffer coffee and beignets. At 12:30 he had our mimosas ready to go in compliance with local ordinances. David was one of the best waiters I've had in this town. He was constantly checking on our table refilling my coffee. Seriously, every time I'd drank half my mug it was refilled. I was so jacked up on yummy house roast that I had to switch to decaf. It was awesome. My eggs benedict were delicious. Kevin P.'s French toast looked more like dessert (I stole half of his whipped cream) and my mother-in-law ate every bit of her shrimp n' grits. On the way home, my husband asked me how this ranked compared to Valenza -- where we had a not-so-good experience -- and I think maybe we should give it another shot since Haven was so good. We'll be back for brunch again next time we want our family to get a classic, upscale Southern meal. read more

Came here last night for a friends birthday. Me and the wife arrived early and were disappointed with the bar service there was no mixed drink menu and the barman was unable to recommend a good mixed drink. The bar continued to let our table down during the evening when he seemed confused by exotic drink requests like a mojito. i know it's not exactly a throbbing hot night spot but a mojito should be a fairly standard part of any barmans repertoire. Food - our table of 6 split 4 appetizers; the potato hay, the yellow gazpacho soup, the tartare, and the oysters. Everything was OK nothing amazing that would send me rushing back. Me and the wife shared the seared duck breast and confit leg. The kitchen actually split our meal and served it up to us on 2 separate plates. Which was nice and meant we got a nice portion of food rather than the huge plates our fellow diners. the confit was smooth and soft, the pearl barley had flavour that complimented the meat. The duck breast was closer to raw than pink as we had ordered. Nobody else was really sharing so we can't offer opinions on the other entrees. I think Haven is probably a better date place than party place. Somewhere to linger over a bottle of wine. A solid restaurant where you can wine and dine someone out of their undies read more

We are new to town and recently tried Haven with friends. The food and atmosphere were absolutely lovely and this restaurant exceeded expectations. Service was superb and can't wait to go back! read more

I went here Friday and had a great experience. The food and service were amazing. We started with the grouper snacks which were cooked perfectly and had an amazing horseradish sauce. I had the special which was short ribs with a savory bread pudding on the side. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious. My girlfriend had the pork chop with a grit souffle. I tried both and they were amazing. For dessert, I had the Praline Creme Brulee and she had the sticky toffee pudding. Both were fantastic, really rich and decadent. Our server Rob, was very attentive and made excellent suggestions. We sat on the patio which was lovely. It didn't have the standard view of a parking lot like most places. The parking lot was obscured by vegetation which was nice. Overall, this was fantastic and I would definitely go back. read more

Went last night as part of a group...my chair facing the cook and prep area. Nice looking place, attentive seating hostess, nice waiter. App's were great, Truffle Fries addictive. Good dirty martini too. Issue was with my pork chop; one of their "best" items. Horrible. Tough, chewy, obviously preheated and dumped on top of a mound of grits covered in sauce. Don't know what I was tasting since it was just one big mess after sawing through the meat. (WTH do they stack food? It's stupid.) Worst was watching the chief and prep staff grazing off of the prep line all night. Everyone was stuffing their faces on food being passed; hand to hand, by this "chief". No gloves on, hands on his face and through hair when momentarily bored and then back to eating. Looked like when we got our filets, he was cooking extra because everyone ran up to nibble on some. (I wonder if the owners audit their supplies for food cost?) Disgusted at the free show, Won't be going back or ever recommending. Keep my mouth shut because I was part of a group and not paying and everyone else didn't get to see the show I was blessed with. Even locked eyes with the chief...whatever look back. If I'd seen hands handling my food, that would have been it. Fire the Sunday cook...he's not doing you any good. Fab deserts. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta and not just because I can walk to it. My most recent visit was last night (Tuesday) and the place was packed; good for them. We waited a little while for a table but, we were able to grab two seats at the bar. The food service at the bar is surprisingly good and they always have great recommendations on wines and will let you sample anything. You can also bring your own wine for a small corkage fee. If you are ever here on a Tuesday night you have to take advantage of their burger deal. A nice glass of wine (heavy pour) and a great burger...what more could you ask for. If it is not Tuesday then you must try the mussels for your appetizer - I am not a huge fan a mussels but, there are ridiculously good. read more

I had never been to Haven though I've been through that part of Brookhaven many times, so when my new Yelp friend Carrie Neal W suggested it for our first face-to-face brunch, I readily agreed (always up for trying a new place). Carrie and I had coordinated pretty well, so after a doggie emergency involving one pair of devastated Louboutins and a new crate earlier that morning, we met for a late brunch at the bar in Haven. The personality I'd become so fond of in Carrie's reviews was immediately evident as we started talking and swapping stories. So great! But I'm getting off track - this isn't ALL about my newest friend, it's about the venue too. Haven's a very cute little Southern restaurant that was packed to the brim on the patio and inside for a Sunday apres church services. Very warm and inviting ambiance - sort of Italian, sort of Southern, all good. When I joined Carrie at the large well stocked bar, the bartender got my drink immediately and then left us to chatter at each other without interruption. Perfect service - not too pushy, but ready whenever we were. Finally, after an extended back and forth, we glanced down at the menus, and made the dive. I ordered the frittata with sausage, mushrooms and cheddar cheese. Carrie really threw caution to the wind (it WAS a Sunday after all) and ordered the crab cake benedict (such a risk-taker!). Both of our orders came out quickly and were impressive in size - both of us ended up with doggy bags. They were delicious though; the frittata was light and fluffy and full of sausage and mushrooms with the cheddar adding the perfect bit of cheesiness to the rest of the flavors, and Carrie's crab cake looked great - a very impressive presentation of flavor piled atop even more flavor plus hollandaise. We both thoroughly enjoyed the full two hour meeting, and it was a great start to my Sunday. I look forward to many more Yelp dates in future with her! read more

I had heard about Haven Restaurant located in Brookhaven for several years, but never made it over until a recent Thursday evening. Haven Restaurant had quite the crowd going on on this weekday evening. Pulling up we drove by Haven's sister restaurant Valenza and noticed it had quite the crowd as well. We decided to forgo the valet, and park ourselves across the street. The friendly hostess greeted us and gave us the option of indoor or outdoor seating. It is truly beautiful inside Haven, but it is also quite noisy, so we chose outside seating. On this, one of these last few days in May of low(ish) humidity, we took advantage of Haven's welcoming patio. We opted for the crab cake, fried oysters and with little arm twisting from Michel the other wildly popular appetizer, truffled potato hay. These are like crispy little potato sticks with some parmesan cheese thrown in. They are highly addictive and a huge portion - maybe not the best combination if you only have 2 in the party. This is a great and affordable (only $5) appetizer if you've got a group of 4 or more. The crab cake was tasty and served with some grape tomatoes as well. I thought this would be my favorite appetizer, but I actually enjoyed the fried oysters more. They weren't simply served by themselves. Nope. Haven's fried oysters come with fried pickles on a bed of creamy lemony grits. While the oysters themselves are tasty, the side dishes only serve to strengthen and compliment the dish. We put in our appetizer order but not the entree order as we were taking our time deciding what to order. Looking around at the other diners, this seems to be groups of couples and friends in their upper 40s. The one thing that struck me is how many of the diners seemed to know each other. I saw table after table of customers that at one point or another during the evening recognized someone they knew and were giving them a hug. Not to be excluded, I ran into an acquaintence myself. A true wine connesseiur, she was able to recommend a terrific Shiraz to pair with my dinner. So, yes, moving onto dinner. After seeing the mussels appetizer come out, I was actually tempted to order it as my main, but then thought I really should order some meat, and went for the duck breast. My BF ordered the Halibut, which was delicious. I loved the crispy outside texture and the flaky tender inside. The pesto broth and shrimp were nice additions as well. And I was blown away by the portion of the duck breast. It was sliced into medallions and usually when I get a duck breast it is half the size of what I was presented at Haven. Now I'm wishing I hadn't been such a glutton, and had packed some up to take home with me. The rhubarb included as a side was a sweet and perfect accompaniment to my duck. Still loving that that lemon flavor that was apparent in the grits, we opted for the lemon cheesecake with strawberries. Definitely a standout as far as desserts go, and is a big enough portion for two to share. I love the atmosphere at Haven. No wonder it is consistently on OpenTable.com's top 10 list of hidden gems. read more

This is a review for Sunday brunch only. Unfortunately, we arrived at 11:30 AM on a Sunday, so were unable to get any alcoholic drinks. Had we, the rating might have been higher. Blessed with an absolutely beautiful fall day, we were seated on the patio, where our table enjoyed the BLT sandwich, Eggs Benedict (eggs were slightly overcooked), semolina French Toast, and biscuits and cream gravy. All were well prepared (except as noted above), and portions were certainly ample. The patio was lovely, the chairs were comfortable, and no pesky birds were around bothering us. Prices are reasonable, and service was excellent. (Overall rating really is a 3.5) read more

if you like bacon (or upscale southern cooking, i suppose), you'll like haven. their food is delicious and reasonably priced. the salmon i ordered was perfectly done ... with the edges just crispy. it doesn't beat my mom's fried brine mackerel ... but what can?! my only complaint is their wine selection is crazy expensive. i think the cheapest was $40 for a bottle that costs $10 in a grocery store. the joys of dining... read more

Have always loved this place but they definitely did not deliver on my last visit. Filet was not cooked to order, twice baked potato cold in the middle (they brought another that was also cold) then took my plate away and never brought it back. Two other entrees was the same experience at our table. They comped the meal but I went home hungry and still spent about $300 for what was supposed to be a special night out for the family. Would have rather saved the cash and cooked at home. New York Prime for us next time. read more

The duck dumpling appetizer was possibly one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten. I offered Joe the last bite, as he, after all, introduced me to the amazing meal. But, he let me eat the last piece of fluffy dumpling and savory duck with a mix of vegetables in a creamy sauce that was beyond words. I admit I even dipped the bread into the remaining sauce from this gourmet take on mom's classic dish. The main entree was also very good -- I got the scallops, which came with some delectable greens and a bacon-grit type side and a plethora of scallops, so was very happy that the prices reflected ample portion sizes. All in all, it was cozy, tasty and a very attentive spot to have a wonderful meal -- so glad I had the experience here. read more

Fantastic food marred by terrible service. After taking our seat, we waited fifteen minutes while our eventual waiter visited the same three tables without greeting us. Randall finally arrived and treated us like the unwanted child when its their birthday. He didn't elaborate on the specials, merely placed the paper special menu in the middle of the table like it was our school assignment. He wasn't rude per se, but it felt like we were a burden. Every interaction was forced and awkward. He took our drink orders, appetizer orders later. Not once did he ask if we wanted more liquor, treat us a welcomed guest, or make sure our food was good. And I admit it sounds whiny on my part. He didn't get any wrong orders, at least. But if you were to see a doctor who graduated last in his class, would you want to see them? Seriously, I made an account just to post this, because even though our food was exquisite, I felt so uncomfortable around our server that I couldn't wait to leave. read more

I had a friend in town and we were looking for a brunch spot. Another friend said her and her husband had eaten dinner here and it was good so we decided to take a chance. Man, am I glad we did. I made a reservation just to be safe, but we ended up getting there around when they opened so we had our pick of where to sit. We chose to sat outside as it was sunny and warm...a gorgeous Sunday morning in Brookhaven. We both ordered the french toast and let me tell you -- it had to be some of the most amazing french toast I have ever had. The bread had this excellent crunch and the combination of the berries and the cream was amazing. I wish I ordered a second batch. I got grits as a side and they were quite tasty as well. They made me want to order the shrimp and grits next time around, but I doubt I would want to deviate from the french toast. My friend ordered the home fries and they were OK. Pretty standard but not horrible. Our service was also excellent. I forget our waiter's name, but he was attentive and funny and never let my coffee dip down too low, something I appreciate on a Sunday morning. read more

Nom nom nom nom. Food makes me so happy. My bosses decided to hold our company Christmas dinner here (12/9/14) and it was not a disappointment. My date and I had whiskey (his was on the rocks, and mine was with ginger) to start. Those things are not hard to mess up so I'm glad that the bartenders at Haven didn't mess it up. They were also consistent with making sure we were okay whether it was with water or drinks prior to ordering any appetizers. I didn't feel rushed as we looked at the menu in awe of what to get. My boss ordered the Southern cheese selection (basic but good since I love cheese), the Blue Hill Bay Mussels (good but pretty different; I would never guess a chipotle flavor with mussels. It's usually a butter based sauce) and the truffled potato hay (which were shoe string french fries with truffle oil and parm over them; they're stacked extremely high). My date ordered the Smoked Chicken & Shrimp Gumbo (all tender and full of flavor!) while I ordered the Braised Colorado Lamb Shank (robust all over; sometimes too much as I couldn't finished it all. Thank God he could!). Please note that despite it being a Tuesday, the place was filled to the brim. Elbow room at the bar was a minimum. read more

It was so refreshing to sit outside amid trees and well-dressed friendly folks. People were striking up chats with other tables on the patio, so Southern, so amiable. Food was good, very good. But I have had some transcendent dining experiences lately. This was not that. The best thing was the wilted or charred Caesar salad, great idea. Salmon with kalamata olives and grape tomatoes on couscous was dandy, but not thrilling. Our server was good, but the "how is your meal?" guy was flat-out intrusive, not cool. We were visibly celebrating and having a momentous intimate conversation. It called for discretion, which our waiter had, but not that guy. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely place and I'll be back--just not in its highest form that night. read more

Went on a date here last Tuesday.They have complimentary valet and a nice outside area for when the weather is just right. We opted to sit inside though. It was burger night and though the burgers looked delicious I instead went with the Spiced Roasted Springer Mountain Chicken and my date ate one of the aged steaks. I wasn't expecting to get a whole chicken but in front of me was in fact a whole chicken on a bed of potatoes and carrots. It was delightful! My date really enjoyed his steak. We then got dessert, I the brownie and my date the banana pudding. Our waiter informed us that everything is made from scratch in their kitchen, so we were excited to give our taste buds a nice sweet treat. I loved my brownie with (I believe) the hazelnut ice cream and he enjoyed his banana split. i did try it, I for one was not a fan but I do have quite a sweet tooth. Overall I enjoyed this nice little restaurant and am interested in trying their sister restaurant as well as their newer ones that will be built quite soon. read more

Living in North Atlanta, we frequently go out on the weekend for brunch. Sometimes with friends, sometimes just my wife and I, we have tried a good number of places from Five Points to Cumming. Not wanting to go far this past Sunday, the two of us decided to give Haven a try. The restaurant is clean, well decorated, with both inside and patio seating (we did not have to wait at 11:30am on a Sunday morning, which was a bonus). We chose an air conditioned table inside, and were seated by a very nice hostess at a 2-top in the center of the dining area (more on this below). The menu was relatively simple. We chose an appetizer of Biscuits'n'Gravy; my wife had the Eggs Benedict; and I had the French Toast with a side of bacon. Please note that I specified a 'side' of bacon - Haven's brunch menu is pretty much a' la carte. If you order French toast, you get a couple slices of homemade french toast with some whipped cream and a few (5) blueberries on top.... and that's it. Eggs Bene? same thing. No protein, no grits, no side of fresh fruit - nothing. And I think this is one thing about Haven that bothered me: They don't make COMPLETE meals with perfectly partnered/balanced sides; rather, they make individual components and let the patron choose IF they want anything else. Now, the food quality was good! The Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked - as was the French Toast - As were the biscuits. Everything was TECHNICALLY perfectly cooked...... however, technique is only part of the puzzle, as nothing was really 'memorable'. The taste of the french toast was good. Not great, but good. Same with the biscuits. Same with the Eggs. (see a trend?). Service at Haven was excellent. While there appeared to be a slight mix-up on who our server was, everyone was very attentive and seemed surprised when I thanked them for filling my water and coffee (has Brookhaven really become that snobby?). The table we were sitting at was right in the middle of the restaurant. While this might be awkward in some restaurants, the tightness of this dining area made it awkward AND uncomfortable. This center path serves as the primary walkway for servers and other diners. This made for a constant watching of elbows and holding drinks to make sure people having to squeeze by each other didn't accidentally bump the table. Additionally, other diners were directly facing us, not any further than five feet away, which made it difficult to have a private conversation. Given all of this, I think Haven deserves a solid 3 stars. The service was excellent, the food was good, and the restaurant was clean. However, the lack of complete dishes seems to drain some magic out of eating out. You aren't able to experience the chefs creation of a meal, but rather only parts of it. This combined with nothing memorable that separates it from the drove of other brunch locations really gives us no reason to go back. Overall meal cost: $52, including tip (2 coffee, Biscuits and Gravy, French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Side of Bacon). Pros: Clean restaurant, good location, good food, great service, no wait (for us). Cons: Incomplete plates, seating can be cramped, nothing 'memorable'. read more

Great service, great food, great drink! Awesome experience. Had reservations - seated immediately upon arrival. Waiter was very knowledgeable about menu and specials with definite recommendations based on our request. Food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious. Every one of the six of us thoroughly enjoyed our entree's. Dessert and after dinner drinks were outstanding as well. If you have the opportunity to visit Haven - go! read more

Loved the food but surprised that a Southern food restaurant that has boiled peanuts for an appetizer doesn't have Sweet tea?!? Come on! :-)

I'd heard about Haven for a while, so I was excited to finally try it. We were quickly seated at a table near the kitchen, which I love. There's no better way to get a glimpse of what the kitchen has to offer and I have no compunctions about asking the waiters what they're bringing out as they go by. We started with the crispy gulf oysters, which many have been the best thing we had all night. They, and the cornichons, were lightly breaded and sat atop a lemon flavored grits with a remoulade sauce that was so good and played off the saltiness of the cornichons perfectly. We also had the beet salad, which was not only delicious, but really huge! We could easily have shared just that one starter and been fine. For entrees we had the grouper and the salmon. The grouper was perfectly cooked with a nice sear and tender center. It sat on a bed of sautéed vegetables that really complimented the fish and, while it was not what you might call exciting, it was definitely satisfying. The salmon was another matter. It was advertised as coming with cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and feta, so in my head I thought it would be something like a fresh tomato sauce with some olive oil, lemon juice, olives, and some crumbled feta. Not so! The perfectly cooked fish came with a glop of something the size of a softball perched on top. The topping, which consisted of a fairly dry ball of cherry tomatoes, olives, and large chunks of feta completely overpowered everything else. After sampling it, I pushed it off to the side, recovered the tomatoes and olives, and focused on the newly revealed salmon peeking through the debris. I wasn't thinking too highly of the food at that point, but fortunately we had the good luck of ordering the fig tart, which was just amazing. They mentioned they were changing up the desserts, so I'm not sure if they still have it, but if they do--order that first! The crust was flaky and moist in a way I rarely see with pastry doughs anymore, and the filling was sublime--ever so slightly chewy and not too sweet. The lemon sorbet, which I wouldn't have normally paired with a fig tart, worked really well and the tartness of the lemon really perked up the flavor of the whole dessert. I probably would have been tempted to give Haven 3 stars but for the friendliness of the staff. They were terrific and we really got the feeling that the people who work there like doing what they do. If there were split ratings, I would give the food a 3 and the staff a 5, so I'll average it to a 4. I do hope they have some other 4-worthy entrees they're working on... read more

We ate at Haven last night and really enjoyed our dinner. I had the Lemon Ricotta Tortellini with mushrooms, asparagus, and peas. The dish had a nice light balance of flavors and was perfect for patio dining on a mid-70's evening. The other three people in our party ordered the Applewood Smoked Bacon Wrapped Trout, the roasted scallops, and a shepherd's pie made with lamb (the special of the day). Everyone enjoyed their food and the dishes seemed very "fresh". We also ordered two wines for the table (one white and one red) that our waitress was very helpful picking out. For dessert we each ordered something different so that we could all try more than one. The four of us ordered the blueberry doughnuts (with a hint of cinnamon - yum!), the pecan praline creme brulee (very good, but it didn't taste that different than normal creme brulee), the espresso chocolate brownie (also good, but make sure you like espresso before ordering), and the lemon cheesecake with strawberries (good, but if I had to pick probably my least favorite of the four). In summary, we all enjoyed our food (and the portion sizes were filling enough), the wait staff was effective and the ambiance was nice. read more

This is a great neighborhood restaurant, the food is great and the staff is friendly and attentive as well. They don't have "neighborhood" prices though. I've been several times and always liked my meal; I even had a six course tasting dinner celebrating a birthday and it was wonderful. They have another restaurant (Valenza) that's good and in the same shopping plaza. read more

Go on Tuesday (Burger Night). You get a gourmet burger and fries paired with a wine of your choosing for $18. Can't beat that. They have live music on weekends usually. Do yourself a favor and sit on the Patio. It's clean, classy, and refreshing. Great atmosphere, staff, and food. Only wish they had a little bit more extensive beer menu. read more

Wow, as I was just about to write this review, I happened to read the review by Alison B. right below. She had mentioned the Tuesday night burger and wine special, which I had as my entree at Haven last night. What my server forgot to mention (or maybe it was my fault for not reading the entire special menu) was about the WINE that came with it?? I'm like thinking.... where was my wine?? lol. Anyways, like I mentioned above, I had their burger which wasn't anything spectacular. The fries were soggy and over cooked. But I was able to get a taste of their Roasted Georges Bank Scallops, Ashley Farms Chicken n' Dumplings, Homemade Lemon Ricotta Tortellini, and their Applewood Bacon Wrapped Trout (courtesy of my friends). Out of those, the scallops would be my favorite and then the trout a close second. Since it was a birthday celebration dinner, we couldn't skip dessert. I'm tempted to say that the dessert may have been the best part of the meal, but I don't that would fair since I did enjoy some of my friend's entrees. Our Peach Cobbler with Blueberry Ice cream was heavenly! And also, the Warm Chocolate Brownie with Espresso sauce and Vanilla Ice cream was a winner as well. I loved the feel of the restaurant. Space was a bit small so the room filled up rather quickly though there actually wasn't that many people inside. I did notice that most of the people were more of an older crowd. My friends and I couldn't help staring at the gigantic artwork of a lady's face. Glad that she was attractive though. Service was relatively good though our server left us hanging for about 15 mins before he took our dessert order. Their very casual white shirt and jeans attire kind of threw me off though. I wouldn't mind coming back here. read more

Ordered pickup from Haven's special menu. Everything was cooked to perfection! They gave up so much food we had leftovers for two days!!! Thanks for the high quality meals!!! We are a big fan!!!! read more

Met a mixed group of friends for dinner. Haven accommodated a last minute addition to our party which was appreciated. Our group of 9 had an enjoyable and memorable experience. The menu was diverse and catered to all tastes providing a delicious meal from start to finish. The small plate selection was great for our group to share and have a taste of everything. The yellow tomato gazpacho was a standout as was the corn pudding and shrimp ceviche. Our selections were brought out incredibly fast and were prepared just as they needed to be. Our waiter, although soft spoken, was attentive to our table and our requests. The bf and I shared the tenderloin, which was amazing. The scallops and trout looked equally appetizing and were ordered several times throughout the table. The dessert menu provided a delightful end to our meal. The banana pudding was presented in mason jars(nice touch) and was creamy and full of flavor. The tart was ideal as was the Creme brûlée. The noise level was a bit high but it was also a later in the evening on Saturday...not the best time or place for a large group ...all in all, our evening at haven was heavenly. read more

We were seated promptly when we arrived for dinner on a Wednesday night. At 7p the restaurant was already more than half filled. Ambiance very nice, open kitchen (we like that) and a terrific server (David). Three of our party of four each had a different fish entree; the fourth had the tortellini. All raved; mine (the grouper) was under seasoned IMHO but tasty. The appetizer Haven "haystack" was terrific. A foot-high stack of thinly shaved French fries with truffle seasoning. Excellent and PLENTY for four folks! We brought our own wine so it was excellent :) with their $20/bottle corkage fee.. For dessert we shared the banana pudding and the sweet potato doughnuts (don't laugh). Both were very good. The only negative was that our table was right next to the divider between the dining room and the bar. Bar patrons lean on that so the ladies had frequent elbows near their ears. No damage.. read more

Haven is a restaurant on our normal rotation, so we go quite often. Food is consistently good and menu has some variety if not a lot of choices. Service is consistent and attentive. Good drinks and wine list. They have valet parking which is needed because the parking lot is small to handle the three eating places in the building. I really like their gumbo; however, last time I went it was not on menu. I do not give 5 stars because it is cramped and noisy. When the patio is open and weather is nice, it is a better experience. read more

Was a regular when I lived in Buckhead, last night was the first time back in close to 10 years. The service, food and experience were as good as ever. Some classic items still on the menu plus some great new ones. You'll definitely enjoy! read more

I live in the neighborhood and have been eating at Haven for years. Lately the menu has gotten better and the specials are lovely. Try the new okra and gold rice hushpuppies. It's an inventive and delicious dish of rich hushpuppies, flavorful wild shrimp and a horseradish creole broth Easily a light dinner and delicious. I eat out alone a lot and really appreciate waiters that respect the fact that you are having an evening out, even if you are a single diner. Haven is always great about this. I often get a booth to myself, instead of an awkward table in the middle of the room or near the kitchen. And they do not rush me out in order to make room for a larger group that will mean more revenue. I have also brought big groups here and had wonderful service. read more

Love love love this place. Always so comfortable. Great service. Food tastes like home. Recommend here for a lazy brunch.

This was terrible and poor value for the money. Have you ever sat at a bar and smelled that sour odor? That is a result of poor cleaning habits in the bar area. To minimize this it must be cleaned properly every night. Secondly the tenderloin was over cooked and the carrots were over seasoned with a chemical taste. The thing that put the dissatisfaction over the top was the sautéed spinach. The stems were not removed so it was very unpleasant to chew and frankly a rookie move. Not much quality control which is disappointing, as the ambiance and location is on pointe. read more

My second time here. First time was a business dinner that went well. Since the food and service is good, I have decided to take the family here as well. So here we are on a Sunday with a 6:30Pm reservation. We arrived on time and took advantage of the free valet. Valet was professional and very prompt. Door opened for the missus and kids and we are on our way. Nice warm evening and we spotted quite a few diners enjoying the patio outside. Patio had a garden setting, nice, spic and span. I think I saw a ceiling fan as well. Regardless, it look very inviting and comfortable. Note to self: Good brunch place. The hostess was very nice. Very young and for a minute I thought she would be a ditz. However she turned out to be very welcoming and very thoughtful. I had made reservations and noted I needed a booth and she remembered everything. Took us to a booth and it was the best seat in the house. So far, everything is going splendid. Both kids and wife felt good. Our server. David. David was great. Ask for David. He will take care of you. We had the following and it did not dissapoint. 1. Fried Oyster. Fresh with some kind of tartar sauce that was not over powering. There is also the fried sweet pickle that came with it that was very refreshing. 2. Mussels. Ahhhh.. this place does it right. There is not to say. Its good and it portion is huge. Sop up the broth with a crunchy toast. 3. The duck. A confit, ala confit du canard on a bed of barley. Very flavorful and done correctly in medium. Went very well with the red cab. My 12 year old pronounced it the best duck he has ever had. If my 12 y ear old says its good, you know it the unadulterated truth. 4. The halibut. I liked it but I think it was a tad overcooked. 5. The gumbo. Sausage and shrimp. Loaded with spicy goodness. Both my kids loved it. Here's why David excelled. The restaurant does not have a kids menu. Its a grown up kind of restaurant with plenty of 'foodie' types around. David was kind enough to accomodate our request for splitting the gumbo into 2 plates. In a place like this, I may have met some snobbish attitude but David was good. 6. Creme Brulee Praline. Pretty darn good. I was handling the check and in a blink of an eye, it vanished. Guess the kids really liked it. 7. The wine. Guess what. There is good selection and on SUNDAY, a lot of the bottles are marked down at 50%. That was the bonus of the evening. Go on SUNDAY and get a great deal on the wine. Finally, I recommend you make reservations. On a Sunday nite, the place was packed. read more

One of my favorite, most memorable meals. Love the farm to table concept and the fun, relaxed vibe of this place. Great service. So many unique innovative dishes to choose from. Finally settled on my Indian brunch, which left me realizing how far you can really go with putting a twist on some of the same things that my family has been eating for generations. The banana raita was especially a star. read more

Great Tuesday burger and a drink deal here. But try to get a local dish sourced from local providers. That's the heart and soul of Haven.

Haven is a great experience across the board. The outdoor space is inviting and comfortable, the bar and dining room are equally nice. Today our server was Hannah. We were greeted at first by her trainee who was already on top of things, when she took over, things stayed on track beautifully. The staff and leadership at Haven have a strong attention to detail that is not overbearing in any sense. Gordon stopped by the table as well to welcome us back remembering us from the last time we visited. The food was great off the brunch menu too. Haven secures a spot in rotation for Sunday Funday! read more

Finally, a restaurant in Atlanta that serves a good grilled salmon not saturated in butter! The Scottish salmon, cooked to a perfect medium rare, was deliciously paired with couscous, tomatoes, olives and cucumbers. The parmesan tater tots are heaven...like a lightly fried pillow of mashed potatoes- you must get a side order of these to share with the table! The icing to the night of good food- the dessert! The sweet potato doughnuts with Nutella and caramel sauce was absolutely decadent and will put you in a happy sugar coma. Service was attentive; decor and ambiance was modern, sleek and a little quirky (pop art type of paintings, glass blown light fixtures, ceiling high wine rack) at the same time. Slight upscale, through comfortable and casual at the same time. read more

Quickly becoming our go to spot for Sunday brunch. Great food, great service. Reasonably priced. Beignets are a must as well.
