    Bar menu
    Shelly M.

    Waterfront restaurant. It was OK. The service is great, the menu is OK. We went for restaurant week and that was a wonderful way to try many dishes. We decided to stop by the bar for happy hour on the way out. I preferred that menu. Maria was our waitress by the bar and was great. If I read in the area I would return, but I wouldn't make the trip otherwise.

    I love the ambiance at Haven. The view is great, especially during night time. The hostess is always friendly. I've had good service here every time, Calum and David were great! Sorry I can't remember all the other servers' names. The food is superb as well. If you're a fan of oysters, go for the kumamotos. They are so buttery and creamy, a guaranteed orgasm in your mouth. The bakkafrost salmon is perfect, their filet mignon was also cooked to perfection. If you're going for brunch, the spicy crispy chicken sandwich was hella good. Hopefully they switch up their menu from time to time, I go there so often

    Haven is one of my favorite restaurants and bars in Edgewater, NJ. Their lounge area is nice and welcoming - I recommend their happy hour including mocktails and cocktails! Also their restaurant area is beautiful with a NYC skyline view and amazing food and service! Today, we went there for date night and had again Alejandro taking best care of us! He made our evening out tonight special! We should have taken more pictures of the delicious and beautifully arranged dishes.

    Recently I have been to haven for their brunch menu. The brunch was simply delicious. I'm quite a fan of eggs Benedict and they did not disappoint. Our server was the best. She took so many pictures of our group. The view from the restaurant is also another highlight. I'd definitely recommend stopping in when in the area.

    Braised short ribs with roasted potatoes and green beans

    I had a lovely birthday lunch, sitting on Haven's covered outdoor patio. It has the perfect ambiance, and the view of NYC is beautiful. The braised short ribs were fork-tender and delicious! The burger was a sizable portion and served with perfectly cooked fries. In addition to a variety of cocktails, beer, and wine, they offer thoughtfully crafted mocktails. The indoor dining room is also very classy, but I was most impressed with the cloth hand towels and hand lotion in their restroom. For outdoor seating, I would recommend making a reservation. Several people who arrived without one were unable to sit on the patio.

    Sat bar side and had multiple apps. Our bartender was friendly and great! The pork belly was a little on the tough side. Spring chicken roll lacked a bit of flavor. It was a nice environment overall and would give it another try.

    Drinks: expresso martini  Food: Yellowfin Ahi Tuna Tacos, Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Shrimp Tempura Crispy Rice Bites & Truffle Mac N' Cheese

    Came to Haven for a late lunch and had such a great experience! The service was impressively quick especially considering the kitchen closes at 3pm--and our waiter, Thanos, was an absolute delight. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit even better. Drink: Espresso Martini - rich, smooth, and just the right kick. Food: * Shrimp Tempura Crispy Rice Bites - My absolute favorite. Perfect texture and flavor. So delicious! * Truffle Mac N' Cheese - Creamy, rich, and full of that deep truffle flavor. A comfort food dream. * Yellowfin Ahi Tuna Tacos - Fresh and beautifully presented. My second favorite. * Pan Seared Sea Scallops - Cooked well, though the bacon definitely took center stage flavor-wise. Overall, the meal was flavorful, well-paced, and the vibe was relaxed but elevated. Definitely recommend for a lunch date or catching up with friends over great food and drinks. I'll be back!

    This is the Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass the fish was delicious the dish definitely need a lil bit of salt and pepper

    This place is always a ten out ten for me. I came here on Saturday and had the Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass and I was surprised it was like a ramen noodle soup just needed a lil bit of salt and pepper but I will definitely have it again

    I recently hosted my bridal shower here and from the moment I reached out to book the location all the way through breakdown of decor, they were amazing. Fiona assisted me on the booking side of things, ensuring we put together the best brunch option for my guests. The day of we had plenty of time to be able to set up and decorate the private dining area. Our servers were helpful, friendly, and attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals and many commented on the beautiful space and location. Huge thank you to all of the Haven staff for ensuring we had a wonderful event!

    This place never disappoints! View from the restaurant is perfection and I'm obsessed with their brunch selection. Their mocktails are also very delicious (currently pregnant so it's a great alternative). Server was attentive and overall experience was great! Their happy hour is also pretty good too. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good location with a view and food!

    Around the World Oyster Tasting

    Fidel and his team made tonight's dinner unforgettable!! Haven is located in a corner area of Edgewater with breathtaking views of NYC. When you arrive, they have $10 valet- super convenient since it's in an area with barely any parking. The restaurant is beautiful and has a great vibe, they played some of my favorite songs but in the instrumental version and it was lovely. I originally requested a seat with a view, since we were joined by out of towners from Toronto. They did a decent job at accommodating my request, especially since the restaurant was busy. For appetizers we tried the oyster sampler and it was fresh and delicious. We also got the octopus, which was cooked perfectly (a pet peeve of mine) and came with a nice mixed salad. I ordered the lobster pasta, which could've used some more seasoning, but still good nonetheless. My date got the ribeye, which he raved about. He also added the loaded mashed as a side and enjoyed it. Our out of town guest went with the branzino and side of lobster Mac and cheese, which she took home for lunch the next day. For dessert we tried the crème brûlée and paired it with espressos for half the table. A very fresh dessert and not too sweet of a bite. I tried the espresso martini, which wasn't my favorite but I still finished it lol A bottle of white wine, four cocktails (including the espresso), two appetizers, four meals, and two sides ran us a little over $500 without tip. If you're looking for exceptional service, beautiful vibe/views, and decent food with a little cash to spend- get dressed up nicely and check out Haven :)

    What is the dress code?

    Casual, smart casual

    I'd imagine so, if you give them advanced notice obviously. There was a gentleman who proposed to his girlfriend when we were there, & the staff helped & made a whole production out of it for them.

    Are small dogs allowed in the open sitting area?

    I was there for brunch a few weeks ago and noticed a small dog silently sitting under a diners chair.

    Do we need to make reservations for saturday or sunday brunch?

    Not required, but I would recommend it. They are on OpenTable, so making reservations are pretty easy.

Usually BYOB spots struggle to create the right ambiance, but this place has something special going on. We may have had a bit too much fun because we literally closed the place down with the staff. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend ordering a few appetizers and sharing them at the table because that is what we did and everything was deliciously decadent. The burrata was packed with flavor and the basil foam was impressive. The octopus with potatoes hit perfectly. I already know I need to go back for the crab empanadas and the short rib croquettes soon. For our mains, my wife and I shared the short rib yucca gnocchi and the lobster and ricotta ravioli.

We were left ignored for over 20 minutes after seating. Finally when the waiter arrived for a drink order we had asked for a coffee to start. That didn't arrive until almost another 25 minutes and were told the bar area was busy. The food itself wasn't amazing or memorable. Ordered the cauliflower app- the sauce was too watery and didn't coat or stick to the cauliflower. If it was thickened it would glaze the cauliflower and you could actually appreciate how good it was and the dish would be so much better. For the mains we ordered the salmon burger and lemon ricotta pancakes. Both were ok but nothing amazing. The worst part was the speakers playing a happy birthday song that was extremely loud that even 2 other tables looked confused and disturbed by it. It played for well over a few minutes. I can appreciate a party being celebrated but not at the expense of the patrons in the restaurant. Also just a heads up- they add a 2.5% service charge to the bill. Only noticed this because the table seated next to us shared this and were upset by it.

    Took the family to The Grand Feast yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Just the four of us. I did…read morenot tell the restaurant that it was my birthday, because I prefer things low key. We had originally wanted to go to Jacob's Pickles on the UWS, but surprise, no reservations available. I decided to find a new place in the general neighborhood, and I saw that the Yelp and Google reviews for TGF were uniformly excellent. So we gave it a try. The photos online are very flattering... IRL, the vibe comes closer to "hole in the wall" than upscale casual dining. There are only about 40 seats maximum in the whole restaurant. The kitchen is tiny- they could only handle one table at a time, although to be fair, we didn't have to wait very long for our order to be ready. But in retrospect, I understand why they maintain such appearances... because the food at The Grand Feast is so freakin' great, if they made the decor any more attractive, they would have lines down the block and there would be no way for the kitchen to keep up. The wait staff could not have been nicer or more attentive. Menu was varied and interesting and reasonably priced. Portions were generous. We started with a mushroom truffle risotto and Caesar salad, which we shared around the table. Both were delicious. The risotto was perfectly al dente, fragrant and cheesy and gone in about twenty seconds. The salad was crisp and fresh, and the dressing must have been homemade because it put store-bought versions to shame. For our main courses, I had the duck l'orange. Cooked a precise medium, tender and expertly seasoned. It was served with a butternut squash puree (my only complaint was that there was not enough of it on the plate), crispy tasty Brussels sprouts, and a sweet tangy sauce that made me want to lick the plate clean. My son had the lamb shank- it was HUGE, and fell off the bone like it had been slow cooked for 14 hours. My wife and daughter shared the dinner special- a tomahawk chop. It could easily have fed three people (and possibly four). They were rhapsodizing about it, so of course, I had to try it for myself. I say this without hyperbole- I have dined at virtually all of the best steakhouses in NYC. This tomahawk blew all of them out of the water. It literally melted in your mouth. You could effortlessly cut it with just a fork. The ideal blend and saturation of salt and pepper. Served with two sides- a gigantic bowl of crispy french fries and those yummy sprouts. Even with two people sharing, and the other two picking, fully a third of it made its way home with us. And then... the surprise. I'm not sure how it came about. Again, I told no one at the restaurant that it was my birthday when I made the reservation. No one in my family called ahead- they didn't even know where we were going. Someone must have overheard our table conversation, or it was some arcane magic that was responsible... but a crème brulee with candles was brought to the table, and Happy Birthday was piped over the house speakers, and I was serenaded by the staff and patrons. I really did not expect it, and I was so touched by the gesture. It was a gift. Oh, and the crème brulee was divine. As was the carrot cake and chocolate mousse that we ordered for dessert. Even my coffee was great, LOL. A fantastic way to end the meal. Now I know why TGF keeps things so low key. I'm sure that the residents of that particular neck of the woods must know full well about The Grand Feast... and I'm sure they hold this knowledge close to the vest, because why would they want to risk having this neighborhood treasure overrun by outsiders? In fact, pretend you didn't read this review. Because I want to be able to go back to The Grand Feast again, and again, and have it be as amazing as it was tonight.

For the 2nd…read moretime in my life, my family and I went out to eat for Thanksgiving dinner rather than host a feast with friends or travel to be with extended family and we were not disappointed. The 4 course price fix dinner was really tasty and a great value. After the delicate salad with avocado and baby greens, you chose from 3 or 4 options for courses 2-4. I chose the butternut squash soup which was yummy although my son raved over the fried calamari (a customer favorite as I was told). My turkey dinner was everything I could have asked for. Large portions, a nice variety (roasted root veggies cooked to perfection (parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots and Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy) and I appreciated that I was able to request all dark meat. I don't eat sweets but my family had one of each and had a hard time choosing their favorite. The waiter was very good and the manager, whom I've seen before was as friendly and accommodating as the last time. He helps give the restaurant that neighborhood charm I appreciate. If I had to come up with a picky negative it would be that when the runners served the food he had to ask who had what. As an ex-waitress back in the day, it stood out; especially when everything else was so lovely.

    Loved the Happy Ending Sushi roll, definitely the highlight for me! The drinks were decent…read more.. I really appreciate that they serve clams since not many sushi spots do. Banana soufflé was delicious! Our waitress was also super nice and the staff were very accommodating. Great views

    We returned to Drift the other day to enjoy the food and have a classy meal. However, there were…read morecertain aspects that did not live up to our previous experience. The service was still professional and friendly, but the food left something to be desired. Though it was a Thursday evening, the weather was not great, so it was not overly surprising that the restaurant was not very crowded. Because of that fact, the gracious hostess offered us our choice of a few different tables, from a larger booth to a two-top near the window. We opted for the booth that would give us a chance to look out into the restaurant AND to still see the Manhattan skyline. We decided to order some drinks, and I opted for an Espresso Martini, which was not typically something I would have gotten before dessert, but I wanted the extra caffeine! Plus, their version included a caramel cold foam, which enticingly made it extra creamy and delicious. In fact, it was definitely one of the best espresso martinis I had ever had. We were deciding to skip any starters, so we asked for some bread while we waited for our entrees. The plate of focaccia was decent and hit the spot, but we were charged $2 for it, which was not a big deal but also not appreciated. For my entree, I went with the Lobster Bouillabaisse. The broth was flavorful, but there was not much of it. In fact, the dish came with three sweet rolls to dip into the soup, but I could have lived with less given the limited amount of liquid in the bowl. The included blue prawns were good, but the Hokkaido scallops and lobster were chewy. There was also supposed to jumbo lump crab, which seemed to have been replaced by gritty clams. There were also leeks and Yukon potatoes that were sliced in small cylinders and looked fairly similar to each other. The potatoes were bland, cold, and under-cooked. Overall, it was not very impressive for $48. My companion's Prime Filet Mignon was of an unknown size on the menu, but arrived looking smaller than the typical 8-ounces. It was also over-cooked. He did like his mashed potatoes, though. For dessert, we decided to get the Apple and Pear Bread Pudding again, since that had been excellent last time and would hopefully be a redeeming feature of the meal, which it was. The sweet, caramelized brioche had been infused with cubes of fruit, baked, and drizzled with a sea salt caramel. We replaced the designated companion creme fraiche gelato with a scoop of passion fruit sorbet, which was less of an appropriate pairing, but more of an appealing variety to us. While Drift truly offered a stunning space with incredible service, they really could improve their culinary preparations.
