    slow roasted lamb
    Ceci L.

    My husband and I came here to try their 3-course tasting menu for $110 a few months ago. I feel like this restaurant is popular because it's aesthetically pleasing with a beautiful bar and patio. It's a nice place to drink as their cocktails are huge. However I wouldn't recommend coming here for dinner as the food fell short. The tasting menu included 1 appie to share between the 2 of us: tempura coconut prawns: it was clear the oil needed to be changed. The batter was dark and the shrimp was dry. 2 entree's: slow roasted lamb: this is the only dish that I didn't mind as the lamb wasn't overcooked, there was a lot of sauce and the the mac n cheese fritter was a nice side. 8oz AAA New York striploin: we ordered rare and our steak was cooked medium. The server told us "it may look more cooked because you're sitting outside, but I can return it to the kitchen." I feel like servers are trained to say that, but the second steak we received was actually cooked rare and had nothing to do with the sunlight. 1 dessert: pb & j cheesecake: this dessert was disgusting. It was like raspberry jelly on top of a rock hard layer of frozen peanut butter. Not what we pictured for cheesecake. We only took a few bites and left.

    Gorgeously designed and aesthetically pleasing 5 star interiors that really enhanced the dining experience. Even the restrooms were beautiful. Had a lettuce wrapped Haven burger with sub kale Caesar salad and pbj cheesecake for dessert. Food was pretty good prob 4 stars. The menu is almost all fully sweet or with a sweet sauce/dressing fyi.

    I don't know what the hype is all about - their food and service was both mediocre. The waitress wasn't too tentative as she was busy talking to her colleague. I came here on Dec.2nd with my mother wanting to try this place when it first came out but it was just OK. Burger price is basically the similar price to Joey's slightly more!

    Pretty cool tropical themed restaurant by Willowbrook. Parking is available in the lot next to the building. I must say that the interior is fantastic. They nailed the tropical haven theme. There are plenty of trees, and lantern looking lights. Looks like most of the seating is actually in the upstairs mezzanine. Staff are friendly and professional. Food is pretty pricy here. My friends and I had already eaten, so we shared a dish of dill pickle fried chicken wings. There are some 10 wings in total. Nice and crispy, and the pickle slices add a bit of tang. Delicious. Definitely a good venue for spending an evening over some drinks . Recommended.

    Haven Poke

    Haven was just heavenly. Came here on a whim for some late night eats and everything we had was just perfect. Started off with some crunchy tempura coconut prawns. The taste was perfect and the dipping sauce had a nice sweet heat as well. The poke bowl was a little overwhelming with the sesame chips as the ratio was a bit off to how much poke there was. Either cut down on the chips or increase the poke. My favourite dish was the noodles. Bursting with flavours that was sweet and tangy. The noodles were cooked well. My only disappointment was the lemongrass chicken skewer just tasted mostly like lemon. It's missing that authentic Asian lemongrass taste. Other than that, we enjoyed the service and ambiance of the place as a perfect date spot. Music wasn't too loud so you could carry on a conversation and it was nicely decorated.

    This was my first time visiting Haven, and I was immediately impressed by their outdoor decor! The plants and waiting area with a fire pit felt very cozy and classy. Going inside, the decor felt bright and modern, with a lot of patterns and cool wallpaper. Service was friendly and attentive. As I was visiting on a Monday, it was all day happy hour, so my partner and I shared the Pipikaula ribs. I felt it was too salty, but the crisp outside and tender meat inside was perfect for me. The dipping sauce was okay for me - I think it could have done well with a little more acid to balance out the rib. The pork belly dish had wonderful hearty flavours! The sauce pulled everything together, along with the mushrooms and cabbage. The pork was tender and flavourful. The piece was very large and fatty (as it was pork belly), so we ended up taking a decent amount home. The salmon was cooked perfectly too! It was seasoned well, though I found the sauce to be too acidic and not sweet enough. I liked the charred gai lan and pea shoots garnish as it added to the freshness of the dish. The whipped potatoes for both entrées were done well! Smooth and soaked up flavours. I would come back to try more appetizers and entrées!

    I believe I gave a 5 star review of Haven a while back. I remember enjoying it so much I went again to celebrate a friend's birthday and we loved it. This was 2 years ago. I recently went back to celebrate another friend's birthday, and while the ambiance and staff were amazing, the food was sadly not up to par. Everything tasted lile something was missing. My dish was good, but it was quite plain and not worth the cost imo. My friend ordered the noodle salad and that was quite disappointing. I could see she was not pleased. The truffle fries, which I recalled being one of my faves there was also quite lackluster. I know the last couple years with inflation have probably impacted their food, but it's such a shame considering I really loved this place. I would still go here with friends and hope we just went on an off day!

    The interior is gorgeous!! We sat in the patio area, and our server was great. tempura cauliflower - good flavours, but we had to request more sauces cuz it felt a bit dry sweet potato hummus - highly recommend, very yummy nitro shaft, moscow mule - the drinks were good!

    Lamb with a mac and cheese fritter. Delicious.

    Great place. Good service, excellent food, and a great environment. Its the best place I've been to in the GVA so far.

    Haven has that strong positive,lively party vibe in a quite family friendly way. There are two floors and a patio inside the restaurant. Decor is great, wallpaper and pictures on the wall adds the glamorous touch to everything. Food wise the variety is abundant. Good mix of American and other cuisines. Drinks menu is also full fledged. Great place to hangout and I must say that patio is very private so amazing choice for a small get together or Christmas party. I will definitely visit again as I want to try more stuff. Two dishes we tried were outstanding. Cod fish was so fresh and I highly recommend the cocktail called zombie for rum lovers. Spicy peanut noodle bowl has just the perfect broiled flavour of peanut. Nothing too strong but yummy. Parking is plenty

    Equivalent to a Cactus Club, you'll find tasty menu items such as coconut shrimp tempura, poke, and noodle bowls; lively music and trendy vibes, and great service from all the workers.

    Sweet potato hummus

    Really beautiful location with terrific service and great ambience. I had a non alc coconut lime marg and it was fantastic. We tried the sweet potato hummus which was delicious with the crispy chickpeas and chilli oil. I had pork belly for my main and although the bitter greens weren't my fav, the mash and yummy broth/sauce brought everything together so well. We opted out of dessert as we could not justify paying $17 for a piece of cake, hence the one star loss. Overall it was a great experience!

    Had dinner here the other night for the first time. Based on this experience, it certainly won't be…read morethe last time. We started out with some warm bread, and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the crispy exterior with the sea salt on top, and the inside was so pillowy and buttery - then topped with the blue cheese butter... yum! So good. For my entree, I ordered the truffle tenderloin steak and my dining partner had the ahi tuna. We also added the Brussels sprouts and Brie mashed potatoes to share. A really cool feature is they bring over a selection of steak knives that you can choose from. I really love this concept and whoever thought that up is a genius. I chose a gorgeous, elegant-looking knife with a handle that looked like mother of pearl. The steak was easily one of the best steaks I've ever had. They shave black truffle directly on the steak when it's served, which adds such a nice richness. The sauce is also one of the better sauces I've had on a steak. It was so tempting to want to lick the plate! It was a cooked to a perfect medium rare and so tender. It's been a long time since I was really blown away by a great steak, but this just hit the mark in every way. The Brussels sprouts were great, but there was something in the dish that was a bit odd - almost like wasabi or something. It wasn't bad, it just had a kick that I wasn't expecting and made me cough a little bit. The potatoes were creamy and buttery but I did think the Brie flavour wasn't coming through enough. Maybe because all the other flavours on my plate were pretty strong. I didn't try the tuna but it looked beautiful and apparently tasted just as good. We finished off with a couple of desserts: the beehive pavlova and the crème brûlée, the latter being my typical go-to dessert. Unfortunately, I didn't really care for the salted caramel flavour here, but can't really put my finger on what exactly I didn't enjoy as I normally love salted caramel. One bite was enough for me. It looked amazing, though. I did enjoy the pavlova, but it wasn't a traditional style as it had ice cream inside instead of whipped cream. It was more like a baked Alaska without the flame. The flavours were good on this dessert, but I probably wouldn't order it again as I was really craving the more traditional pavlova. Service was good, but we did wait quite a long time after being seated before placing our order, and then waited again after dessert before getting our bill. We weren't in a hurry, but I think we were there for over 3 hours. Still a very enjoyable meal and I would definitely return for the steak alone.

Started with 1/2 price oysters and 2$ off scotch ale happy hour. They also brought complimentary homemade chips and French onion dip with our drinks. Delicious! Ordered the cioppino. Highly recommend! They bring bread and blue cheese butter with the meal. Care is taken to get you all the appropriate utensils for a seafood dinner and shell bowl. Our table was constantly cleaned and water filled. Warm wet towels for after dinner clean up. Our server Julie was friendly and very attentive.

Every time I come here I try something new and I even hear they have a secret menu of drinks you can ask your server for. If I had to give one complaint- it is that this place is very busy. I wish they could expand or have another location given the demand to get in. Odds are slim on a weekend night with a group and no reservation. That being said, this is a must-try place in Vancouver.

    5 stars for this revamped (new management + menu + staff), retro, tiki bar…read more I saw that they had their opening night this past weekend so I dragged a large group of my friends here to enjoy some tiki cocktails. We came in a little before 8 and there was no one there. I had to double check with the staff to make sure they were open. Lucky for us though since no one else was there we were able to get a table for a group of 9 right away. Our server Becca was awesome. She looked after us and made sure our drinks were always filled. We decided to get the punch bowl to share. I'm just going to say that we ended up ordering 3 of these bowls and I woke up the next morning with a Top 5 hangover. These tasted like juice and I just remember my glass never being empty. I also remember having a taste of their mojito, which was delicious. As the night went on the place began to fill up and by the time we left it was packed. A musician came in at some point in the evening and performed some island tunes, which added to the fun island tiki vibe. Overall, the Tiki Bar was a ton of fun and it was a Saturday well spent. I'm so happy that we could be part of their opening night. I'd love to come back to try some of their different cocktails soon.
