Food, atmosphere and service 10/10. The chopped autumn salad and saffron coconut rice pudding are a must. Special shoutout to Annie for being an incredible server! Excited to be seated with her again in the near future.

Had dinner as a party of 8 for my partner’s 50th birthday. The meal was wonderful from appetizers to desserts, there wasn’t a single item not enjoyed. I originally chose Blu due to the diverse menu and they delivered great food across the range from sushi to chicken parm.

Brunch with a dear friend. I drove 2 hours to meet at Haven. It was so worth the trek. View is incredible. Especially at sunset on the Manhattan skyline line. Food is for true foodies. I have allergies. The chef catered and adjusted for me. My meal was phenomenally fantastic. All the staff is attentive, kind, helpful. Wonderful experience. My second time here
