We were warmly greeted and promptly sat at our table. When we got our bread basket, we had to remind the person who delivered it that we had also ordered a bottle of Lily. Both the wine and the breads were excellent. For appetizers we ordered the seafood trio of crudos to share. The tuna tartare was the winner of the three appetizers. For main course I had the black bass in tamarind broth. Superb. The dish was a version of fish Filipino sinigang. My husband had Addis York, which was awesome. I would recommend Hav and Mar and next time we are in the city we will make it a point of dining there again.","submittedDateTime":"2024-03-03T21:09:49Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"DoraA","isVip":null,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","initials":"DA","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":342,"endIndex":354,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-1259890-3821-180088271188","text":"We were so happy we picked Hav & Mar for our night out!

Fell in love with this neighborhood Gem! The food, drinks and service was amazing. Everything on the menu that was coming out the kitchen looked so amazing. We had the tuna tartar, octopus, fried rice, artichoke salad, blue corn bread (omg sooo good) and the black bass. The espresso martinis, yummy.

Outstanding! The food was delicious ,wonderful flavours. It felt such a privilege to taste and enjoy such food! The Curry Goat Gyoza and Addis York was special! This is now my favourite restaurant, shame I live in the UK! But truly thankful for the experience. The front of house team were also incredible they were professional, knowledgeable and worked seamlessly as a team. Made me smile. Really great to see. Visiting NY or a local go to Hav and Mar and experience exceptional food. Flavours I’ve never tasted in this way and just superb.

I read other reviews about this restaurant and decided to give it a try with two friends. We had a wonderful experience! The ambience, along with the music and surrounding neighborhood, sets the stage for a fantastic dinner.
The menu is a beautiful blend of different cuisines. The flavors come together perfectly.
The blue cornbread was perfectly sweetened and went really well with our cocktails.
Also tried the fluke ceviche! The best I’ve ever had
Bronzino was a very large portion, served with four very interesting and flavorful additions, including kimchi
And do not miss the artichoke and Brussel salad. I’m going to try to recreate that one in my own kitchen!
We had no room for a dessert, but there were several including a white and dark chocolate combo cake, that sound scrumptious
Enjoy!
