We had a wonderful experience on a Monday night. The service was very attentive, and our server was familiar with every menu item. She made the best recommendations for wines to accompany our meals. Dinner here was much more than just out to dinner, it truly was a dining experience! We will definitely be back

In a word, Exceptional!! From the deliciously hand-crafted martini's with the most amazing hand stuffed blue cheese olives (any place who serves them should take note, because there a lot of posers out there and it makes a huge difference in the martini). The professional and friendly service was outstanding and not rushed, which is important when you are out for a nice dining experience. We began our food journey with the appetizer special of eggplant rollatini which was superb and flavorful followed by perfectly prepared rack of lamb and salmon. We will definitely be back and you should mark this one down for your food journey. Great ambiance as well!!

Hard to say if the food or service was the best because they were both outstanding. So glad we ventured outside of our normal spots to try Haviland, we’ll definitely be back.
