Food: Innovative, not palatable enough
Haven Craft Kitchen+'s food offerings display a balance of creativity and freshness. The pork rillette, pommes frites, and roasted squash spaghetti showcase their originality and the quality of their ingredients. However, they have a penchant for over-salting dishes and offering small portions. The value for money aspect is also a letdown with overpriced items on a limited menu.

- 3

Vibe: Cozy yet overly vibrant
On the bright side, the ambiance at Haven Craft Kitchen+ makes up for its shortcomings in the food department. The interiors encapsulate charm and trendiness, creating a lively setting that dining patrons appreciate. Their drink selections are equally impressive, with customers lauding their range of craft beers and quality cocktails.
Great Drinks
Extensive, unique selections of craft beers and quality cocktails praised.
Okay Ambiance
Ambiance is warm and cozy but can be noisy and uncomfortably dim.
Bad For Dates
Excessive noise levels disrupt the intimate setting for couples.
Perks: Underwhelming perks hinder experience
The dining experience is further hampered by issues with the restaurant's perks. The decibel levels can reach extreme highs, making conversation near impossible. Customers with dietary restrictions may find the menu inflexible, and families with kids will be disappointed with the absence of a children's menu during dinner. The quality of service also leaves something to be desired.
Great For Pets
Staff very accommodating to pets, with special menus and friendly service.
Okay To Park
Street parking may require patience, but sufficient space is often found.
Bad For Kids
They don't have a kids menu during dinner which is inconvenient.
