The owner and his wife are usually there working and they're both so warm and welcoming. They always take the time to stop by each table to say hello and make sure everyone's happy, which really adds a personal touch you don't find often anymore. The food is consistently amazing, one of my absolute favorites is the fried burrata with honey drizzle (trust me, it's a must-try!). The cheeseburger, pasta dishes, and chicken are all incredible -- everything I've had has been a solid 10/10. You can really tell they put care into every detail, from presentation to flavor. Whether you're coming for a date night, dinner with friends, or just a nice meal out, Haviland Kitchen & Bar never disappoints. It's one of those local gems you'll keep coming back to. Thank you for the outstanding service, each and every time.

When our party of 6 finally arrived they greeted us with such care, understanding and seated us immediately. Service was superb the owners kept stopping by to check on us. This along with a wonderful dinner and cocktails will make us return very soon. I highly recommend Haviland

Our server Alex was extremely helpful and friendly. Our food was cooked perfectly, octopus, steak sandwich, potato poppers, waxed beans for a side and delicious cocktails.

Some of the breweries on tap at the time included Oxbow, Drowned Lands, Threes, and Monkish. Interest cocktail menu. Solid selection of whiskeys too. We picked up a large takeout order. Everything was packed neatly and there were no errors. I had the fried chicken sandwich came with potato poppers. Came with pickles and aioli on a brioche bun. Pricey at $21. Chicken was crispy and juicy. It traveled fairly well on our 10 minute trip from the restaurant. I also tried the periogies as well as the stuffed pepper and fries which came with a couple different entrees. All in all, definitely a tier above nearly all tavern food. Staff was very personable and accommodating while we waited for our order. Modern yet cozy atmosphere. Sleek bar with a huge counter. Large communal table by the bar. Good spot for groups of nearly any size.

We sat at the bar on a Friday. The ambiance wasn't anything to write home about. The staff were…read moreattentive enough. We had calamari, lamb chops, shrimp, fries, and a few drinks (the names escape me). The drinks were somewhat tasty. The lamb chops were overcooked--I asked for medium and they were more than well done, so they were dry and lacked flavor. The calamari was very bland. The shrimp had way too much sauce. They also have automatic gratuity at the bar (see pics). Try at your own risk.

We ordered the wings, meatballs, popcorn and 1 mocktail and 3 seltzers. Our bill came out to be $85? Can someone explain to me why? That means they charged regular price for the mocktails and about $8-9 for a seltzer water? Honestly I'm disappointed and won't be returning.

On Thursday (04.02.26) it was a random date night! Which are the best :)! Also, it's been a while…read moresince I've been here. For the appetizer, we ordered Philly Cheesesteak Rolls with cheese sauce and it was deliciousssssss!!!! For our main course we got a Bourbon Bacon Burger (added egg) with truffle fries and the Carne Asada Tacos. The burger and truffle fries was so flavorable, can't wait to have that again! To be honest, there was something missing in the carne asada so it tasted okay. Not only did we enjoy ourselves, but there was also a sip and paint with Bluemoon the same day we were there. That was a pretty cool little event! First time doing one! The hostess Gwen gave us two Bluemoon glasses and we painted them while we ate. I can definitely say I'm no artist but I tried my best lol! So definitely want to come back and try other dishes!

I've never gone just to sit down and have a meal.......but I probably will when in the area. I saw a bunch of people ordering different variations of burgers......and I must say, they looked quite scrumptious.

Overall great experience!…read more It was my first time visiting this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The ambience was very comforting. Good music very nice crowd. Awesome drinks! The alcapurria was not greasy at all! The Bistec Encebollado was done medium and actually came out flavorful and medium! Fresh onions, and the arroz con gondulez were not salty or hard. from the bottom of my heart, this was a very at home meal for the culture! I heard they do a karaoke night! I 100% will be back! Thank you Raices Boricua! I found my new favorite place! 10/10 I definitely recommend! Bring a friend bring a date bring your family!

The Connecticut lobster roll is very good, warm with butter and lemon and no mayo. They have other types of lobster rolls but I haven't tried them. The kids fried shrimp meal is pretty good, with fries, fried shrimp, and a juice box included. It's pretty kid friendly especially if you come on the earlier side. The line is long, but they do try to move things along and let you drink your drinks while you wait in line for the food. Then they have you sit and eat and coordinate that for you and bring the food to your table. Drinks are served at the bar. I've also had the hot pretzel which is just average. The white wine sangria is also just average, but the tequila cocktails are quite good. Highly recommend!

We love Lazy Lobster!…read more My partner had come here years ago and kept talking about it so I finally said it's a nice night let's go. We got there a bit before the dinner crowd hit and were able to get a spot right away. The location is technically within a marina but across from the water. You still get the breeze and a beautiful view! This is definitely more of a casual spot. You order drinks from the bar and food from a separate food truck. You cannot pay for drinks and food at the same time but the system just...works? My spicy margarita was delicious, the frose looked good, and my Key West sandwich was yummy. I also got an order of sweet potato tots for us to share and they were great! My partner had the burger and he enjoyed it. Live music pretty much every evening. We headed out by the time they were done with sound check but before that there was a great playlist of music over the speakers. There is staff to help take away finished plates and drinks, there is also garbage if you prefer to do it yourself. Plenty of seating between high tops by the food truck and picnic tables closer to the bar.
