                        Great burger! Sticky toffee pudding had great flavor but a bit dry- needs more sauce, should be very moist! Other than that - first time there and loved the ambience, service and food & beer!

                        This was our third visit to the Haven, one of my favorite restaurants. HMy husband and I came with our extended family this time to celebrate our anniversary. I was a little nervous how everyone would receive Scottish food but everyone enjoyed their meals. Fish & chips, burgers and hunter’s chicken all came to the table nice and hot (always a concern with this crowd.) The only complaint was from my father-in-law who didn’t quite understand the concept of mushy peas served cold. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert was delicious but served without the sticky toffee sauce. Service was attentive. Definitely a winning experience overall!

                        First visit after moving to the neighborhood. Loved the fish and chips, shepherd's pie and salmon we ordered. Sadly they were out of the haggis - next time!

                        The Haven is the best Scottish restaurant in Boston and also one of the best restaurants of any kind. The food is delicious -- consistently great -- the atmosphere is chill and unfussy, and you can get anything from a perfectly-affordable beer/cocktail to some of the world's highest-end whiskies. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We really love the food, the vibe, and the people.

                        Last time I went to The Haven was several years ago at their old location and loved it. I had just come back from a trip to Scotland and wanted to relive the experience. I was so glad to read about the new Haven, as I sadly thought The Haven had closed. The new restaurant is large, tall ceilings very impressive woodwork, decorated with lovely artwork and a charming outside patio. Elegant and modern but at the same time comfy. A friend and I recently went for the brunch. Everything was excellent! We did not order the haggis though - ha! Had the smoked fish cakes and fish sandwich (delectable)! Fries were superbe, followed by a rich Scotch creme brulee. All really delicious. They also have a litany of beers and whiskies of all sorts. The waitress who served us was lovely and very patient - I could not make up my mind as to what to order! Definitely going back. Thanks to all!

                        Wonderful as always - love this little piece of Scotland in my backyard! Great whisky collection too! Only thing I’d love to see is maybe more IPA’s from Scotland and maybe a few more Speyside selections
