- DDanAtlanta Metro •11 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 3, 2025**Fantastic Food and Service!** We had dinner at Havana and were thoroughly impressed with our experience. My wife enjoyed the seafood paella, while I opted for the pork chop dish. Another guest had the shrimp appetizer and salad, and one ordered the duck. Each dish was beautifully prepared with fresh, local ingredients and packed with flavor. The seafood paella was among the best I've ever tasted, and the pork chop came with a delicious broth-based sauce, turnip greens, chickpeas, and local vegetables. The highlight of our evening was our server, Harley. His positive attitude and keen attention to detail made our dining experience exceptional. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the attentive service throughout our meal, we felt feeling appreciated and full! I highly recommend Havana!

Our server was very professional (can’t recall her name) & very menu knowledgeable - only issue was that the noise level made it difficult to have a good conversation! We’ve been there many times over the years & it is always the highlight of our visits to Bar Harbor!!More infoReading Room Restaurant at The Bar Harbor InnPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Bar Harbor•4.7
