From the OpenTable editors: Combining his Swedish upbringing and Ethiopian heritage, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson gives New Yorkers an innovative, seafood-forward fusion spot that could only come from him. The two cuisines blend beautifully in dishes like berbere-cured salmon served with apple water and avocado that earned this Chelsea hotspot two stars from the NY Times. It's all served in a vibrant space with sculptures from famed artist and restaurant partner Derrick Adams on the walls.

    Went late evening on Wed. The place was still somewhat full. The service unfortunately was uneven. We ordered the breadbasket- great, ceviche - small portion, a little too much liquid, nice presentation but taste wasn't memorable - didn't know if it was trying to be highly refined or casual. Waited 20 minutes or more for entrees after finishing the appetizers.

    Very interesting menu offerings in an exquisitely decorated venue. Having dined at other Marcus Samuelsson restaurants, we had high hopes for another exceptional dining experience but Hav & Mar was just okay. It was good, but just okay.

    Cornbread was incredible and I’m convinced the seafood cavatelli is one of the best pasta dishes you’ll find anywhere. A lot to explore on the menu - I’ll definitely be back.
