- MMicahTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoOur 4 person group started off at the outside bar while waiting for out table. The cocktails were just ok. Nothing outstanding but they also had a good wine selection. The baked oysters were very dry and hard to remove from the shell. Not juicy at all but very dry. The fried green tomatoes and pork belly were a big hit. The dinner selections were tasty. I had the pompano dish and it was great. The native chili was dry as well. It was meaty but also very dry and lacked moisture or sauce. The desserts were good except the whisky butter cake with blackberries came with 1 blackberry and it was cut in half. I wish it had more berries or some blackberry compote to go with it. Overall nice meal with some improvements to be had on some dishes. I would recommend this place especially with the nighttime ambiance.More infoUlelePrice: Expensive• American• Tampa•4.8
- LLaurianCharlotte •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agoThe cocktails were outstanding, and the food was good but not great. Had the lobster on potato, and I didn't think it was worth it as the garlic butter was a bit scant.More infoCW's Gin JointPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Tampa•4.7

- DDwayneTampa / Central Florida West •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 12, 2024Haven in Tampa exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and chic, especially in the bar area—it’s beautifully designed and perfect for enjoying a drink. Speaking of drinks, the Berns cappuccino was an absolute highlight, with rich flavors that were perfectly balanced. The Brussels sprouts were phenomenal, easily one of the best dishes of the night. They were so well-prepared, packed with flavor, and left a lasting impression. Our waiter made the evening truly unforgettable, delivering impeccable service with a warm and attentive attitude. They went out of their way to make my wife feel special on her birthday, adding a personal touch that elevated our experience. We’d give our server a 10 out of 5 if we could! Haven is a spot I’d wholeheartedly recommend for any occasion—whether a casual evening out or a special celebration. We can’t wait to return!More infoHavenPrice: Expensive• American• Tampa•4.7
