- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •3 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoDinner and drinks were fantastic! I got the “Slim Thicc” to drink which was a gin drink with aperol, peach, and elderflower! It was so yummy. For my dinner I got the duck confit and it hit the spot! The flavors were well balanced and the duck was cooked to perfection. My friend got the burger and it was also fantastic, great flavor profile and the pickled red onions complimented the burger well. Overall the ambiance was great, the place was lively, and had great music! Service was prompt and enjoyable.More infoHaven Craft Kitchen + BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Orange•4.5
