    Shrimp firecracker and calamari
    Kay M.

    I came for Mother's Day. Normally we go out in Saturday due to the Mother's Day crowd, but yo my surprise though it was packed I'm glad they gave mercy on us for being 30min late. Either they were running behind or just held our resy. Either way traffic from nyc to nj was horrible. 1/4 of our party was there on time to hold the resy. By the time they texted us the table was ready we were just pulling up to valet around 7pm. The service was quick or waiter was super friendly. We had the Mother's Day prefix menu. We had the shrimp firecracker which was really good and mother had calamari which had a really nice presentation. We all had steaks which were all good. As for sides I feel like they fell short on the crab fried rice. Not much crab and the rice was Al dente and not much flavor. I should've gone with the Mac n cheese or mashed potatoes (those were good). Desert we had cheesecake and the brownie. Both were great no complaints. The best part of the his place was the waterfront views especially at night. I would definitely come back to try their full menu or just for a nice day to sit on the water for brunch/dinner.

    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.

    Kumamoto oysters

    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
    Leah A.

    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
    Iyanla M.

    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
    Evelyn M.

    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!

    Hiromi T.

    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!

    Went for brunch and it was delicious! Great value with the prix fixe menu, and a gorgeous view of the manhattan skyline. The service is attentive, but not overbearing. Will be back!

    Casual, smart casual

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

From the moment we walked in,…read morethe level of service was nothing short of exceptional warm, precise, and completely effortless. Not a single detail was overlooked. The attention to every meticulous element, from pacing to presentation, created a dining experience that felt truly special. The meal itself was extraordinary. Each course was not only beautifully executed but deeply flavorful and thoughtfully composed. The Mushroom Cappuccino was a perfect start rich, earthy, and comforting with incredible depth. The sweet potato with madeira reduction was a standout, balancing sweetness and richness with elegance. Le Royale was indulgent and refined, while the blue prawns were cooked to perfection delicate and bursting with flavor. Le Tropical brought a bright, refreshing contrast that tied the progression of the meal together beautifully. Even the bread service deserves recognition often overlooked, but here it was exceptional. Paired with the Winter Harvest Highball and the No. 3, the beverage program matched the food in both creativity and execution. What truly elevated the evening was having the pleasure of meeting Chef Christophe and touring the kitchen. He was incredibly down to earth, and his philosophy about food thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in passion clearly shines through in every dish. Every bite was delicious, every detail intentional. This is dining at the highest level refined, memorable, and truly deserving of its Michelin star. I can't wait to return.

The setting is contemporary with a touch of French flair, highlighted by large floral arrangements, and the service was attentive and flawless over the course of our three-hour meal. Two of us chose the 4-course tasting menu and two went for the 7-course, and the kitchen executed both formats seamlessly at the same table. Two diners opted for the wine pairings, while the others enjoyed cocktails and additional glasses of wine, all thoughtfully matched to the dishes. The evening was spectacular from start to finish, with no weak courses. Standouts included the sashimi, frogs' legs, scallops, beef cap, and squab, each beautifully prepared and memorable. With tip, the total came to about $1,800 for four, which we felt was good value for the quality, service, and overall experience. Surprisingly, most guests were dressed business casual, so the atmosphere felt relaxed rather than stuffy.

It's definitely a more elevated take on Mexican coastal cuisine. Fideo Seco (4.5/5): The highlight of the night. The creaminess paired with the lobster was great. Grilled Octopus (4.25/5): cooked just right and paired with a unique, crispy sweet potato which made it fun to eat. Baked Clams (4/5): Delicious, though $21 for only 5 pieces felt a bit steep. Fajitas Nortenas (4/5): The steak could have been more tender, but the flavor was great--especially when paired with their excellent corn tortillas. Tacos de Langosta (4/5): A solid taco, but not exactly a "must-order." For $28, getting only two tacos felt a bit steep for what it was Skip the Drinks: Both the Watermelon Margarita and Passion Fruit Mojito felt overly strong and lacked a unique flavor profile Save Room for Dessert: Surprisingly impressive! The Chocolate Molten wasn't overly sweet, and the Strawberry Flan featured rhubarb that paired perfectly with the custard. A great spot for a high-end seafood dinner, though the drinks didn't quite live up to the food.
