    Delicious, house-raised food in a beautiful, lively setting. Haven holds true to its commitment to the finest local produce, and my meal was unforgettable. The root veg hash was cooked to perfection, rendering the roasted parsnips and sweet potatoes just tender enough and caramelized, but not mushy as is often the case with over cooked veg. The local prawns were outstanding, in an incredible, lightly spicy wine/butter sauce that made you grateful for the home-made focaccia so you could lap up every drop. Great service, great fun!

    Wow, So late to the table.. Amazing truly farm to table in Leucadia . Luca was the best part of Haven. Luca helped us through the menu, cocktails and wine. Chef was spectacular and thats alot coming from me. We started with the patio pounder cocktal ( dont Judge) will come back just for those on tap.. Prawns were the best I have ever had. My prefered protein. We went with the house salad loved everything , but the hops ( Sorry order without) .. The house dressing was to die for. Bread and butter unbleivable and the shortrib was divine . So happy to wirte this review for Haven. In our neighborhood... Luca made the night. I would ask for him...

    Very good, locally grown food in a very nice setting. It's a loud space, so they should be mindful of allowing guests to hear each other talk.

    I love Haven! It has a cool vibe like you're on vacation or you're in a ski chalet. Luca, one of the team memebers is so personable and remembers us everytime we dine there. I want to try the prix fixe menu next time. The culinary presentation and attention to detail is on par. The chef is extremely creative and knows how to not over cook fish! I love the prawns, but honestly every dish is amazing, creative and so fresh. The craft cocktails are bursting with favor and so unique. The entire staff has always been so professional and welcoming. It's kind of a food desert in north county so I really appreciate this gem. It's a great addition to Encinitas.

    Haven is a beautiful venue, and I very much appreciated That so many menu items are sourced fresh from the farm the restaurant overlooks. Food is good, but not excellent. It feels as though the staff still need to work out a few kinks and prioritize flavor over presentation. For example, there is a dessert, which while in itself is delicious, is inexplicably paired with flavorless chewy popcorn. Just no. Some work on the menu could make this a true “haven” among restaurants, but at the moment it just misses the mark. Exorbitant prices do not help.

    We had a great experience. The food was delicious & our service was exceptional. We chose to sit on the side by the fireplace but unfortunately by. A speaker . We were still able to hold a conversation but would have preferred a lower level. We did not ask for them to lower the sound level though. You’ll enjoy FHF.

    Meredith our server was amazing , she made great suggestions , gave great service and was very personable. I Was confused entering the property - a large staircase to the entryway . I found an elevator thru the back of the store downstairs - it was closed but the door was unlocked . It was kind-of weird

    Overall we really liked the restaurant. The view over the farm outside is quite beautiful. The service was really good! The menu is a little limited for picky people though everyone did find something. Dinner was served too quick after getting our salad at the table. Also, $12 for bread???? A little outrageous. The cocktails were all very good! We will be back.

    We had dinner here the other night, and I would sum up our experience as a work in progress with high potential. The ambiance of the restaurant is exceptional. I could absolutely see it being a great place to grab a glass of wine in front of their large, centered fireplace. The hostesses were pleasant and we secured a nice table. The waiter seemed nice enough, but entered the steak meal when i had ordered the short ribs. While he apologized and I appreciate we all make mistakes, I had to wait roughly 15 minutes while my fellow diners ate (at my insistence). The food was good, consistent with what you would find at a similarly priced coastal restaurant. It happened to be one member of our groups birthday, and they were kind enough to bring out a biscuit like dish w a candle. However, the dish was just not very good and it cost $15. I would have expected, given the wrong order fiasco, that Haven would have either comped the desert, waived one of the two $30 corkage fees or perhaps even discounted the late meal, But unfortunately nothing. In summary, we had a nice evening and I believe Haven will continue to improve.
