                        Very good as usual. My wife and I debated if mushy peas are served cold or hot. They were good, but I think they should be served warm. Fish and chips was excellent.

                        Fun, great service, food tasty but not quite as robustly Scottish as hoped for…no hot black tea with milk & sugar (in a pot) to with Sticky Toffee Pudding.

                        Nice energy and ambiance. Good entrees but sad they don't give free oat bread. Deserts were underwhelming. Waitstaff continually interrupted which is the biggest complaint. Drinks very expensive.

                        This is my second visit to The Haven. I was a bit reticent as I went to the former location for brunch and was disappointed. It was cramped and the food options were limited. This second time around, at their bigger location, was a far superior experience. I had the pepperoni pizza and it was truly delicious. The service was attentive but not overbearing and the noise level was fine. Plus ample parking! I will be going back again in the coming week or two.
