   My experience at Hav & Mar was a delight. I was able to celebrate a truly special day (my mother’s birthday) with my family and enjoy very delicious food at the same time. The staff was very welcoming and polite. Our servers, Helen Axel & Alexander did an excellent job at recommending drinks and food. We had one designated server but everyone touched base with us and made sure our needs were met at all times. Our table was very well kept and clean at all times by Harold and Lorenzo, they kept a good pase in between setting up our courses. Overall we were treated with so much love from the staff and kitchen. At the end, our reservation note was honored and we were surprised with candles and sparklers in celebration of my mother’s birthday!!! Truly an amazing experience and delight. Thank you Hav & Mar for your hospitality. 10/10

   It was disappointing that an item on the menu (fluke crudo) ran out so early in the evening. We were dining quite early, but by 6:30 it was no longer available. The food we had was excellent, however.

   The food flavors burst in your mouth. So creative and yet not overly complicated. The ambience is fun and festive and the service was remarkable. Can’t wait to return.

   The dining experience went south when the host Luis kept on reminding us that we had one hour to complete our meal. We were very excited to try out this fusion cuisine by the renowned chef on our trip to NYC. Alas! We were let down by the impolite attitude by Luis. We had to rush through our meal and not really savor it :( Very disappointing and unexpected from an establishment of this stature!

   Summary: the food was not good. The bread basket: anjero is oily and flavorless, the "hummus" tastes like cold vegetable soup. Otherwise, the dish was fine. The crudo sampler: the tartare was great. the ceviche was pitiful with the smallest sliver of fish constituting the dish and a one dimensional vinegar flavor profile. the salmon was good. Octopus a la plancha: the absolute worst octopus I've ever had. Incredibly overcooked. Like chewing the bottom of a shoe. very disappointing. Pasta 2.0: delicious. Definitely the best dish of the night. Asparagus side: cold, to the point that the hollandaise sauce was solid. seems like they use premade hollandaise which is embarrassing for a restaurant of this purported caliber. Chicken thing: chicken drumstick was overcooked. really chewy. The thing that accompanied it was tasty enough. I would not go back.

   The beef and grits was a little tough. I also didn’t enjoy the flavor.

    The food was amazing. And our server explained everything and was so helpful. From our cocktails to the bottle of wine we chose, the whole meal from small plates to large was fantastic. We will be back. We came with two of my sons. Looking forward to planning my next family dinner there.
