From the OpenTable editors: Combining his Swedish upbringing and Ethiopian heritage, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson gives New Yorkers an innovative, seafood-forward fusion spot that could only come from him. The two cuisines blend beautifully in dishes like berbere-cured salmon served with apple water and avocado that earned this Chelsea hotspot two stars from the NY Times. It's all served in a vibrant space with sculptures from famed artist and restaurant partner Derrick Adams on the walls.

    Nice restaurant with some interesting food choices but it doesn’t have a wow factor. The tuna tartar was very good but our pasta and chicken dishes were less than impressive. The cocktails were also good and interesting mix. This is not the place I would go regularly.

    Not as impressed as I thought I would be. Food was pretty good. Service was not great. We were there on a quiet Sunday so should have had more attentive service.

    The fish wrapped in banana leaf was our favorite dish - the green sauce on the fish was incredible. The rice that came with it had a good taste but was overcooked. We also had the Piri Piri Hake - the lentils were great, the fish was nice (tho spicy!) but overall lacked depth and taste. The half chicken had a really good juice, but it felt like a whole lot of chicken with very little depth to the rest of the plate and the sauce was so liquidy that it was hard to pick up. The carrots seemed a bit under-cooked. The lobster fried rice was also great. The crunchiness of the tiny fish eggs really gave the plate more life, and the taste made it a great accompaniment to all 3 of the main dishes we ordered. We ordered everything "gluten free" as I am celiac, and the server was very knowledgeable and open to double-checking when she had doubts. Overall the ambience was great (great music, not too loud but awesome vibe for a Friday night), the servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and appropriately lit. We will definitely come back!

    Hi Erika, We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Banana Leaf Snapper and the Crab Fried Rice—both are standout dishes, and we’re glad the flavors and textures impressed you. Your comments on our other dishes are incredibly helpful, and we’ll share them with our kitchen team as we work to refine every element. It’s wonderful to hear that our team provided attentive and knowledgeable service, ensuring your gluten-free needs were met with care. We’re also delighted that you appreciated the ambiance, music, and overall vibe of the restaurant. Your kind words mean so much to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another great evening! All the best, The Hav & Mar Restaurant Team
