   I would have given 5 stars but the steak did not keep up with the rest of the meal. This will not stop me from going back. Everything was excellent, delicious and the service impeccable. Highly recommend

   It opened in August and we just discovered it. We loved the open design of the place. Savanah was our server and very attentive. The menu is fairly simple but sufficient in variety and they have many hearty dishes, all organic and well prepared. I have mixed feelings about writing a review since I hope it stays available to us on short notice, but I am sure it will become swamped over time.

   This is a welcome addition to the Encinitas dining scene. The architecture is interesting, the seats comfortable and the buzz lively but still accommodating of conversation. The menu is brief and interesting; the wine list creative. We had halibut and spare rib; both were well-cooked, tasty, and generous in portion. Service was friendly and efficient. We'll return.

   This was our first visit. As others said, the architecture is fantastic—like nothing around here! The mountain lodge and hops decorating is a bit odd, yet attractive. The menu changes seasonally. The fresh catch was line caught SD Halibut. We shared bread and (two types) butter (also two blends), Washington Oysters, and red beet hummus. All interesting and tasty. I had a “Pilsner” which was tasty, though (as I was warned) much hoppier than typical. My wife ordered a Napa cab blend; a bit delicate but nice. My entree was an absolutely delicious seared lamb loin. Perfect portion. My wife raved about the beef short rib. Only disappointment was my Espresso…chilled by a cold cup and not that great. We will be back!

   The location and ambiance are great. The service we had was wonderful. However the menu was somewhat limited, and everything seemed a little overpriced... not outrageous but similar food and drink options can be found for far less. That said the pawns were outstanding, and I enjoyed the entire meal.

   Haven’s architecture is beautiful. In a winter month it reminds me of a lovely Lake Tahoe or Colorado lodge. The metal tables inside might be good in the summer months but quite cold for a December evening. Next time I’d request a wood top table. The food was tasty especially the catch of the day which was local line caught Seabass on a bed of risotto. The mole pork belly was flavorful but would have enjoyed on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or even spinach with sauce on the perimeter. The food could have been hotter temperature. All in all a 4 star rating.
