    The interior is very nice
    Norm W.

    It's been around a while, and for some reason we didn't stop in. We did so today and have to say we are conflicted like so many others, and in many ways. It's a stunning space, maybe the best in Langley that we have seen. The entrance is physical, with a wallpaper you'll never see, the shell shape is a statement. The hallway to the washrooms requires some attention with the light and to the reality of the place. The service was top notch, with the two staff members taking care of all of the tables with a well choreographed movement of product. The food, we wish, had reached the level of the service. The best item that we had was the Polenta fries with real Parmigiana Reggiano and a spicy Calabrian chili mayo and chive ash was in our mind fantastic! We'd come back for that alone. My Falafel pull apart sandwich had good flavour, but the corkscrew fried pickle was underwhelming and greasy. I don't know how they made the fries so dry, but they weren't good. The lovely K had the Spicy Peanut noodle bowl, which needed far more peanut flavour, more acid and maybe a little heat. The menu is quite eclectic, but might be a little too much so for some diners. That said the Polenta fries will bring us back, and we'll be trying to copy them at home.

    slow roasted lamb

    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.

    Peanut noodle spicy $17 happy hour vs $23 regular
    Henry C.

    I arrived at 9 pm and was lucky to catch happy hour, which starts after 9 pm. I ordered the HAVEN BURGER for $19 (regularly $24.50) and the spicy peanut egg noodle salad $17 vs reg $23, along with a glass of Coke (free refills). The total came out to be $43.50 plus tip. Fries were plentiful. The restaurant is nice and clean (although I did send my water back due to some dirt or dust in it). The wine list on "copier paper" was wrinkled with food stain on it. That was ghetto considering this calibre of restaurant One cool feature is that you can adjust the lighting at the table by pushing a button on the lamp. Parking is free. Google Maps takes you to parking lot. You may think it's wrong but it's right. Just park and go to east side of building. You'll find door there. Opposite side of building has resto called Camp Beer The service was good, and the atmosphere was lively with a nice crowd. Besides the food, I think it might be a great spot to hang out at the bar for drinks. There was a crowd starting to form at bar. I do encourage others to support this buisness vs the chain resto's of a similar calibre

    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.

    Absolutely delicious dishes here! Cooked to perfection. Beautiful, great ambiance. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable servers Will definitely recommend and come back! Too Notch

    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
    Tri Q.

    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.

    Char siu salmon entrée
    Ashley N.

    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!

    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.

    Lamb with a mac and cheese fritter. Delicious.

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.

    TIKI DAVE from TIKI DAVE'S TERRIFIC TRIPS absolutely loves this place!…read more After searching for the best Tiki Bar in Vancouver (what???), I absolutely had to leave the family at the airport hotel to check this place out. As Son of TIKI DAVE would say, I didn't need to go, but I wanted to go. Yes, yes, Alec, I wanted to go. And the reviews lived up to the hype. What a wonderful spot halfway between the airport and downtown. I left it up to the bartenders to choose my drinks... Against my better judgment, I went with the bartender's recommendation to try the Painkiller because they touted it better than the Soggy Dollar Bar in the BVI. Well, I've been to the BVI but never the Soggy Dollar Bar...yeah, I know. But this drink, that I would normally think too sweet for my taste, was amazing. Now, I have to go to the freakin' Soggy Dollar Bar to compare but I'd bet this one was better. For my second, I again, left it up to the knowledgeable bartender to guide me the way. And he served me up with this perfectly amazing and glowy amazingness that is the Rememberer? Which is off menu. It was amazing. And did I mention it glowed? Ambience and service is amazing. I showed up on a Saturday night at 10 and I was worried after reading about it that I'd have trouble getting in but it wasn't a problem at all.

The cocktails are generally on the sweeter side, but they're also surprisingly strong. We ordered the Zombie (3 oz), and there's a reason it's limited to two per guest. It tasted sweet and tropical, but it definitely sneaks up on you and can get you tipsy pretty quickly. The drink prices are quite reasonable, especially compared to the food. While the food is decent, I'd say the cocktails are the real highlight here. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and full of tropical vibes, come for the drinks and the atmosphere rather than the food.

For dessert the Plum with Fig Leaf, Miso Honeycomb and Thai Basil Sourdough was good. No arguments there. The shiitake was fine, palatable. The cabbage and potato were very bland and made me question why the Acorn is so hyped. It was so bland i didn't finish it. Keep in mind SERVING SIZES ARE TINY. The ravioli were practically inedible the chicken of the woods was beyond overly salted and the pasta wasn't cooked. We joked that al dente was at least touching water. This pasta has never heard of water. Easily one of if not THE WORST PASTA I've ever had at a restaurant in the past few years. Thank goodness the plum dessert was yummy. Very good. But truly I don't understand why people rave about The Acorn. I love food. Im a vegetarian but it's hard to comprehend why it's so hyped. Maybe there was a new cook? Maybe it was an off night? Crossed off my Vancouver bucket list. It took me a while to write this review because I frankly was in shock the contrast between the actual food vs the lore it has around town. The highlights were a basic sourdough and a well balanced dessert. That just feels so wrong.

The Forager's Martini was actually super refreshing. It was ice cold in a carafe and I felt that it was more of a 50/50 martini. It was botanical forward and had a lot of complexity. I still prefer other cocktails but it definitely changed my mind on martinis. Another stand out to me was the Gimme S'more. It was a seasonal drink so they might not have it when you go, but it tasted just like a mix of s'mores and champurrado (Mexican hot chocolate). The drink had the pumpernickel toasty flavors of rye, and mixed with the cocoa, amaro, and cayenne gave it complexity and a hint of spice at the back of the palate. The graham cracker foam on top added the s'mores vibe since it tasted exactly like a graham cracker. Another non-seasonal drink I really liked was the Fantasy Island.
