The total price was $44 inc a pitcher of iced tea. The amount was on the high side, but we found that was the case for Boracay in general. First of all, the pulpo was nicely grilled. However, some pieces were a tad mushy. In addition, the accompanying sauce was too much. Secondarily, the scallops were fresh. But the parmesan dried the texture out. I dipped them in the garlic butter to remedy the dryness. Lastly, the prawns were excellent. They were large, plump and bursting with flavor from the sauce. The dessert was only okay bc the ice needed to be shaved better, and it was missing flan. Regarding the ambiance, its casual here like all the beachfront restaurants near our hotel. The staff was friendly & warm.

We enjoyed it so much, we actually had dinner there twice. The food was the best that we had on Boracay. Over the two meals we had there we ate: chicken adobo, Tortang Talong, mung beans & roast pork, fried chicken, & pancit bihon. All were very good, but the fried chicken was a bit salty. Portions were nice, not huge - - but we still had enough leftovers to wrap up and give to some of the locals who hadn't eaten dinner both times. Enjoy.

It took us more than 20 minutes to get our food and it was really really hot inside the restaurant. Not ideal for a quick to-go meal but it was quite yummy.

You enter from the ground level, but most of the seating will be in the larger dining area upstairs. Lots of different seafood and other offerings to satisfy your cravings! GRILLED PULPO: Pretty decent serving size, although this came out towards the end and we were getting pretty full. I wish the octopus pieces were larger but not a huge deal. SCALLOPS: The perfect little bite-sized flavor bombs. Comes with 12 scallops so great for sharing! SHRIMP BISQUE SINIGANG: Rich and tasty without being overly sour! Large serving size. AKLAN ADOBO WINGS: I was really craving fried wings and was hoping that's what these would be, but I guess it makes sense that they weren't since adobo isn't usually deep fried. The sauce was tasty, but for some pieces the meat was a bit dry. GARLIC RICE: Simple but delicious and really helped round out the meal. Serving size is also pretty big - definitely don't order one per person. I think one order is good to share between 2 or even 3 people if you don't want a lot of rice. Service was top-notch! Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. The oysters usually come with 4 per order, but they gave us an extra one for each order because they saw we were a group of 5...so generous! The restaurant was spacious with plenty of fans blowing to keep us cool. Overall, a great option if you're craving some seafood. Serving sizes are on the larger side so you'd probably have the best experience coming with a group of 4 or more so you can try more dishes.

Sadly, they didn't have oysters and kilawin during our visit -- we wanted to try their baked oysters. I got their Chicken Tikka Masala and calamansi lemongrass iced tea while my friend ordered their tomato soup and mashed potatoes. LOVED my order and it definitely satisfied my Indian food cravings. The portions were big and the dish was so flavourful with a kick of spice. Had to order a side of pita bread to scoop up all that sauce after finishing my cup of rice -- hey, gotta indulge, I'm on vacation! Hahaha! The iced tea was lovely too as it seems like they make it in-house but the lemongrass note wasn't too noticeable. Loved our meal here and a great start to our vacation here in Boracay.

We came here before and had the worst experience even though we didn't get to try their food. We were a group of nine last year and once seated, they didn't t attend to us even after waiting thirty minutes. Then the rain came so we left since we sat in the outdoor tables. This second time, only a group of three, we were able to be seated right away. Gave us our menu's but we had to flag them to take our order. We sat by the bar and they could see us but didn't think after us looking at them constantly that we wanted to be served? They need to work on service. We ordered: Daiquiri- super strong and no real flavor to it ; not for the lightweight 4 stars San Miguel light - order 2, get one free 5 stars [Happy Hour!!] Caesar salad with bacon -I asked them to make the bacon crispy 5 stars Epic Salpicao- comes with bread but was a little salty; would have been better with rice 4 stars Beef Tapa breakfast- good 4 stars Pork bbq plate - hubs took his bro's egg to make it better - 4 stars Place would have been better if service was on top of it. Even asking for the check took a long time. That put my stars down. Maybe if we have the time, we can try this place again but for now, we will see. [26R,2025]

We ordered the nachos and have to say the presentation was impressive. Haven Bistro definitely took some pride in the food prep. And of course being in the Philippines, the nachos had diced mango. :) The calamari was pretty good and while Kare Kare is not my particular favorite, again, they out did themselves on the presentation. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and again ...gotta love the Filipino twist with diced mango. The portions were bigger than expected so pleasantly surprised. What I also really liked was the drink options. Most places have the traditional banana, pineapple, mango or coconut flavored shakes but Haven Bistro adds a twist with either cilantro, mint or basil. The pineapple basil shake and mango cilantro shake were pretty good. Of course they were fresh with real ingredients. The service was very good. Our order took a little time but no worries when you know it's being freshly made and being in the cool restaurant was a nice break from the heat and humidity outside. A noticeable difference was when they served us water, it actually had ice - a significant difference from just about anywhere else. The service was very polite & courteous - but have to say that is the normal in the Philippines. Also, the restaurant was exceptionally clean...sometimes hard to maintain with the sand from the beach.

The tacos were to die for. The location was perfect, only because my room was right above the restaurant. You get alot for what you pay for. Since my room was upstairs and the restaurant was part of the Club Haven (Boracay Haven Resort/Suits), I got free breakfast delivered every morning. I ordered a cheese french toast one morning and it was, again, to die for. Their pancakes were delicious too. The employees were great. Very helpful and always with a smile. At night, the place turns into a buffet. Never got to try it, but the food they were cooking looked equally delicious. The private beachfront right in front of the store is cleared and chairs and tables are set up. Live music is playing and they also provide hookah.
