    Smash burger was great, but it’s $25. Drinks were great, but $15+ for a drink. The buratta app was missing sea salt. Overall, it’s a good restaurant that charges great restaurant prices. The service was excellent!

    Haven in South Tampa delivers an exceptional dining experience with creative and flavorful dishes. The Cheese Monger board and Brussels sprouts salad were standout favorites for me, showcasing bold, balanced flavors. My husband couldn’t stop raving about the perfectly cooked 24oz bone-in steak and the fresh, vibrant Brussels sprouts salad. With impeccable service and a cozy (albeit loud) atmosphere, Haven is a must-visit for anyone craving elevated American cuisine.

    Great quality food and beverage choices for those who love the dining experience of sharing small plates. Our waitress was very helpful in guiding us on dishes to choose. The proper gin and tonic was a delicious choice as well as the red sangria that was fruity but not too sweet. For food, the meat and cheese combo was delicious, as was the ham croquettes and steak with a delicate mushroom foam sauce. Beware that the noise level can be very high and tables are crowded so if you are looking for a quiet place for conversation this may not be the best option, but we enjoyed our lively night out with friends.
