   Amazing, we went knowing nothing about this restaurant and we’re so impressed by the food. It’s also encompassed the amazing NY vibe we all secretly look for. Putting it in our rotation!

   Lovely space, great menu ideas. Food seemed pre made, bread basketballs great, collards standard, salmon dishes meh, mushrooms meh, ceviche ok. Drinks meh. Service - surface sweet, delivery sub par. I've eaten at all Marcus Samuelson restaurants, my son worked for him in one San Francisco spot. Was excited to try this. An expensive miss I'm sorry to say.

   We ordered the Chef's Menu because we couldn't make up our minds on what to order, everything sounded delicious and appealing. Usually we see a chefs menu as a great option to get different smaller tastes of the menu. The food we got was well displayed, inventive and very tasty. But be forewarned, never, NEVER order the Chefs Menu. You get a very limited menu (1-app, 1-salad, 2-entrees, 1-side and 1-dessert). AND, if you add up the individual item cost, it worked out to cost us over $30 more for the exact same items if ordered individually! How is that justified? The waitress was exceptional. We explained our dilemma and she immediately took it to her management. The management could not be bothered to stop by our table and address our concern and sent our waitress back to tell us that our servings were larger therefor the price is higher. Soon after, the table next to us received their food (not chefs menu) and either the portions were the same or, on one dish, seemed theirs was even larger (same items we had). Chef Marcus Samuelsson, this is really your tasting menu?!

   Hi Susan, We are thrilled to hear that you loved our food! Thank you so much for your kind words. Our restaurant tends to be extra lively and vibrant on weekend evenings; we understand that may not be for everyone. However, we hope to host you again the next time you are in our Chelsea neighborhood and we suggest trying an earlier evening during the week. You'll still enjoy the same amazing atmosphere, perhaps with just a little less noise. Best regards, The Hav & Mar Team

    Currently the best restaurant in NYC. The havatini and crudo trio are outstanding. The service is impeccable.
