The BEST part of our evening was Logan taking care of us! Like always we loved the meatball appetizer & bolognese to share. I loved my grilled branzino, my son loved the chicken parm & my daughter loved her short ribs. Only downside was the scallops were a little fishy. Overall a great experience!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Habana! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere great and inviting, with a perfect balance of fun energy and sophistication. The food was exceptional—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit unforgettable, though, was our server, Beto. They were incredibly attentive without being overbearing and made us feel so welcomed. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made my husband's birthday celebration seamless and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Habana enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience!

Food and service was excellent this time around! We were given the “holiday menus” for a mid-week lunch which had dinner prices, but were lucky to overhear another diner ordering off the regular lunch menu - turns out you have to ASK for the lunch menu to order from it. A must since it’s almost double the price!
