Wish I can give this place a 0 stars but YELP won't let me. Owner is trying to scam us.. paying to bring a cake?? Might as well go to Applebees because that shits free. Owner tried to scam saying we can pay for a cake for $35 that we would bring !? Ridiculous . Place is a piece of trash read more

Great place if you enjoy live music & dancing. Food is from Philippine cuisine, limited option for vegetarians. They do have fish. I am not used to their way of cooking & spices but found fish dish was fine. However the reason to go again would be the music & the enjoyable line dances & the many good natured dancers who come to this venue. read more

D'Haven - a group of people standing in a ballroom - Filipino Near Me - Woodside, New York

First of, we went to this venue to support our friend who's part of a band that they were showcasing. Food was rather disappointing, the supposedly crunchy and somewhat meaty sisig was just pure fat. Texture was meh and taste was forgettable. Their pancit was very tasty though and the bangus as well. The reason I'm giving em two stars was coz of how they charged us, it seemed misleading. They want us to pay 'suggested gratuity' after already including $12.20 for a party of 4! Good thing I checked before Signing! read more

D'Haven - The misleading receipt - Filipino Near Me - Woodside, New York

I was at an event, ordered calamari for $14.95. Got like 12 pieces... so each piece of mediocre calamari cost over $1. Outrageous. Also it was cold in the venue... everyone was wearing jackets the whole time. read more

D'Haven - a plate of deep fried squid with a side of dipping sauce - Filipino Near Me - Woodside, New York

Buckle up, folks. D'havens hustle game is strong, and not in a good way. From the moment you walk in, you're bombarded with upsells, extra charges, and a general vibe of trying to squeeze every last penny out of you. Trying to charge me and my family to bring a cake we paid for like what is that!?!Security guard is very obnoxious. Feel like im being treating like a walking atm rather than a customer. They might have decent food but the way your treated is dog water. If you were to hypnotize me to coming I would never. SHAME ON YOU!!! read more

Had a great time doing ballroom and party. Great crowd too!! The owner teach me some dance tips too! I used to do ballroom dance during my younger years and this place reminds me of great memories. We are visiting from Upstate NY and this place is a great place to be if you want good vibes. There is also live bands on the other side but we chose ballroom dancing. Will go here again once we visit city, read more

D'Haven - Me, my husband, our friends jill and antonio, after ballroom dancing! - Filipino Near Me - Woodside, New York

Came here for an event and had really low expectations based on previous reviews. This is a good space for a banquet. It isn't too far of a walk from the subway and there is not much parking, but I was able to find a spot right across the street from the venue. Glad I was lucky. This is a spacious place. When I first entered, I thought the event was over but I found out that it was in the other room with a gigantic chandelier. I was able to catch the attention of a waiter and got my lumpiang Shanghai promptly. The lumpia has so delicious. It may not be as cheap as you're used to but they give you plenty and do not regret eating it. So when you're thinking of coming here and looking at the reviews, just remember to get the attention of the waiter to get your food promptly and park across the street. Oh and check the back space in case you think you missed your event. read more

This place took our reservation without warning of a $30 minimum per person plus $10 cover charge. We have been here many times before, so this was very disappointing, since we came to dance and drink. Last time ever! read more

D'Haven, it is a little hidden haven in Queens. I attended a birthday celebration here last weekend and they said there will be ballroom dancing. I was expecting a lousy lounge with a dance floor but heyyy!... I had a great time here! Indeed it was a ballroom party but non-stop fun music that makes you grove whether you know how to dance or not. They have excellent service. Really good tasty food. And warm classy ambiance. Dress to impress! And wear your dancing shoes ladies. There are two separate sections here, i guess for private functions and for everyone where live music keep you swaying the night away. Bring a date. Bring your friends! It's fun! And don't forget to try their "Apple Martini ". I would definitely go back. read more

A hidden gem in Woodside! We been here 4 times and quite honestly it is flawless establishment. We come here when there's an event such as live band and it is fun environment. But if you're into ballroom dancing and just wanted to have a good time dancing, this place is great! The service was attentive, friendly and remembered us from our last visit! Food was innovative, cooked perfectly, beautifully presented and good proportion. Ex: The crispy pata, sizzling sisig to match with red horse beer. If you want to have a good time with friends dancing, singing along to a live performer with great food and great service. Try this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

D'Haven - Buy a bottle instead of shots - Filipino Near Me - Woodside, New York

Celebrated a friend's birthday party, and the atmosphere was ok. I don't think it was worth the 1.5-hour drive to this part of Queens. Food was mediocre at best. Had better Filipino food elsewhere. Portions are small and nothing special. Absolutely NO PARKING in the neighborhood. Had to drive around for over 40mins, and finally found parking 4 blocks & 2 avenues away on a Saturday night. Very annoying as it's so inconvenient.. It isn't the safest of areas with shady people hanging out on several street corners. Some side streets were very dark and creepy... Stay alert! Don't think I would go back... read more

Im from Colorado and just moved here in New york a year ago, my friends and I went to D'haven to have fun! But then the security ruined our night by not accepting my Colorado ID as proof of my birth date! He keeps asking so much questions and ended up into an argument, my ID isnt fake or expired either! Same security who disrespected my friend in Kusina Bistro. (he is not a Filipino)! read more

Love this place. Nice vibes, a great band, good dancing with paid dance instructors, and delicious food. The only downside is the waitresses require patrons to order $30 worth of food without announcement. read more

I love this place! We were here to celebrate my daughter's 14th bday. Because she wanted to have ballroom dancing. The manager Clarence is very helpful and just so happy to have us. Everyone was attentive of my party of 14 where most were teenagers. We had a fantastic Dance Instructor who entertained our guests all through the night. And the food is just divine! It was truly a very memorable night for all of us!!! read more

Security was very rude,he did this to us second time.My friend who visited used her Colorado I.D which is legit but the security refused to let us in because he said she should use N.Y I.D coz we're here in N.Y which is very ridiculous.He was actually yelling us in front of the guests and dropped my friend's I.D rudely. read more

Had my daughters 18th birthday party here and I have around 150/guests. The place live up to our expectation . The ballroom elegance and class really "wowed" my guests. The bathroom is well kept and maintain. The owner Miss Meteck Hernandez is first hand to respond for sudden changes like additional tables and chairs, wine glass needed. Etc. she's very helpful and accommodating. During the party The security keeps coming to us making sure we're all ok. Waiters are polite. The Only downside are the foods and drinks. How I wish they refill the buffet faster and won't leave the trays empty. Coz my guests needed to wait for food to be refilled and has to go back again to their seats Coz foods and drinks are ALL gone! And when they refilled it my beef kalderetA were changed to menudo Coz there's no more beef kalderetA. Although all the foods taste delicious and my guests liked it, how I wish it didn't happened. If this issue didn't occur I will give them 5 stars. But all in all my daughters party is a success at D'Haven and I will definitely recommend it to other people. read more

Beware of excessive padding of bills such as adding an extra line in your bill like "party of 4" or party of 8" with corresponding amount. If you are not careful you could just easily be adding more tips at the end of the final amount. I have no idea how many times I've been duped in this scam at this place. read more

A great place to hang out at any age! I can bring my parents, me and my sis and have a good time with drinks and dancing. The menu is delish...Love the sisig and pancit. And they have different rooms to host parties in. The owners Metek and Evelyn are very accommodating. Def come through! read more

We came here on a Friday and we loved Geo. He is so funny and a good singer! The food was ok. The place is nice and they have lounging chairs, which is ok if you just wanna drink and watch people perform. read more

Finally! A new Filipino Lounge I can enjoy. Me and my friends stayed here till 3am last Saturday. This place has two huge sections (the lounge room and the ballroom) and also a karaoke room in the back. We stayed at the lounge and there were live bands that was performing that night. The Lounge also has a dance floor which is a plus. Me and my friends had a blast and will be coming back this Friday. I heard they're going to have a Luau theme with some free shots. SOLD! Lolz, we definitely in there! So I guess they try to have different events on this place which is pretty cool. The food is great. I would recommend you trying their Menudo, Bami Noodles and Sisig. My mouth is getting watery just by thinking about it again. Service is pretty quick. One of the chefs (which is the son of the owner and a friend of ours) hooked us up with a free dish, he calls it the Seafood delight. You have to order this when you decide to go. Bottle services is available. They have foreign and domestic beers. I even saw Red Horse beer there. Price is decent just make sure you bring cash because they're still working on having to take credit cards. No ballet parking but we never really had a hard time looking for one when we decide to drive up there. I hope this review will help out the readers out there who wants to check this place out. Cheers! read more

Good chill.place, if you want to go drinking with fam and friends dhaven is good. If you love ballroom you can go here as well. The place has a friendly vibe and party vibe. read more

I'm not from Queens and I'm not sure how a restaurant or a venue for a gig should be. We waited outside for half hour because they change the opening an hour late!People are lined up outside as good citizen following their instruction. But when we get to the door, the hospitality that filipinos bragged about ended right there.We were brought to our table and to our surprise we don't have chairs.We patiently wait for a server and one of the staff asked us how many people in our party and he said the table is reserved for 6 or more people so he will take the table away and will give it to people who are 6 or more in their party!We just looked at him and gave him a gesture of "whatever"!This is unheard of!!! read more

music and food is amazing here.. they have ballroom dancing, live bands and karoke...they are open through the week.. its Filipino fusion restaurant... weekends are so much fun!! read more

Arrived on time for a 1 pm lunch birthday party and it is freezing inside to what they say function room. I ask the owner and said the heater has a problem. The guests are all in winter coats. read more

Came in to a holiday party, the restaurant was not coordinated, there was only 2 waiters and they knew there was an event. We were not served with our orders, my boss was not happy, I left without getting my orders.... I just ate appetizers. We were there 7pm, I left at 9:30pm. I felt bad for the waiter, I guess he was overwhelmed. They could have made alot of money with us, since we are 25+ people, we could have gotten alot of drinks, and food... alot of staff were complaining. I could not recommend this restaurant to my friends. read more

I went to an event recently and one of my friends got so sick at the last minute. I was not informed that its non-refundable, I do understand that but at least they could have offered me to order food or drinks for the amount of ticket that I paid which was $50.00. But instead gave the appetizer of calamari & lumpiang shanghai which is not even worth $20.00. It is very disappointing to come to this kind of place to watch music bands perform or for ballroom place. I will never ever come to this place ever again! And i will spread the words to friends & family! read more

I'm giving it 2 stars coz of SECURITY ISSUES. The place is good, nice & clean. Food is good. Manager is very nice, even with all the issues in our room, too cold, that we wore our coats almost the entire night, tv not working & took awhile for them to figure it out how to use it. The servers are nice & fast. We went to celebrate christmas party & birthdays, so we want to have a good time, food & drinks. We did not bother anybody nor cause problems. When we were about to go home, we paid our bill, went out the room & stayed in the lobby near the exit doors to chill while saying goodbyes. Then some of our friends went inside the ballroom area to check out the place. While we were sitted outside, the Security guy came to us & pointed at 1 of our friend that he can't go inside coz he's too drunk in a rude, loud & angry tone of voice. We were shocked at the attitude he gave us. 1st we are about to leave, 2nd we're far from the ballroom area, 3rd we did not even attempt to go inside nor peak at the ballroom area. So we don't get it why he acted such way. He's suppose to be responsible for the security of the place & the guest & not instigate a fight. We are Filipinos, we talked a lot, laugh a lot coz we are happy people. Since majority of the guests there are Filipinos, we suggest they get somebody who understands our culture. The Security guy just freaked out coz of misjudgement on his end. None of us there acted like a drunk person who cause problems & fights with other people.Why attack somebody who sits & laughs with friends saying goodbyes, even talks to the owner thanking her for the good service they gave us. We were curteous & respectful even to the servers. In other places, if they think you had too much drink & causing a scene that's when Security people go to you & ask you to leave. But if you had too much drink, & just sitting there, with lots of friends surrounding you, not causing a scene or bothering other guests, then there's no reason for the security people to push you out & cause a scene. Get someone else with proper training especially with knowledge about cultural differences. read more
