The restaurant has a beautiful view of NYC! Parking can be difficult if it's during a busy time, so I would advise to keep that in mind. Service was very attentive and nice. Food was also amazing, the rib was very juicy and not dry, and easy to pull apart. The potatoes were slightly undercooked, but overall the plate was very good. We ordered rice cake and calamari for appetizers that were delicious! The only thing is that the plates were small so you might not get full if you're used to eating a lot. read more

I went to Haven for brunch. This establishment offers indoor and outdoor seating. The views from the restaurant where amazing with views of the Hudson River and the NY skyline. This service was exceptional and the noise level was low. There was an array of food selections on the menu. I went for brunch which offered two drink with an entree for $39. I also added an appitizer and dessert which were all amazing. I ordered steak and eggs which was cooked exactly how I asked. I'm not much of a potato person, however, the home fries were delectable. I understand what the rant is all about. I would definately visit this restaurant again when I'm on town as everything was delicious! The manager came around several times inquiring about the meal. read more

We attended a beautiful wedding brunch at this venue on 5/23/25 and decided to continue celebrating by ordering drinks at the bar (our group of three). To our surprise, we were told we couldn't be served alcohol--even though two other wedding guests, seated just down the bar, were drinking with no issue. There was no clear explanation, and most of us had barely had anything to drink (I had only one). It seemed assumptions were made based on one guest who had generously purchased drinks for others. The situation was handled publicly and unprofessionally by the bartender, which made it very uncomfortable. When we spoke with the manager, Greg, his response was dismissive and unhelpful. By then, we no longer felt welcome. I don't want to believe that in 2025 race still plays a role in how people are judged--but it's hard to ignore the fact that the three of us are of mixed race, while the others being served were not. What started as a joyful celebration ended on a disappointing and disheartening note due to the lack of courtesy, professionalism, and possibly something deeper. read more

Where do I begin.. this restaurant exceeded my expectations. Beautiful ambiance. Right on the water. Beautiful views. Elegant and romantic. Service was phenomenal. Our server Alejandro made sure my girlfriends and I were taken care of. Every dish that we ordered was exceptional. Drinks were divine and made to perfection. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. It was just lovely. So glad that we chose this place to have our Pre Mother's Day dinner! It was fantastic! I will definitely be back during the warmer months to be able to sit outside and enjoy a delicious meal. read more

Decided to come back here for brunch while back in town. We sat outside, great views of the Hudson and a nice breeze. We could hear the staff, including the manager in the blue shirt lol, complaining about the guests and their complaints surely manifested in the service we received. It was really quite crazy to hear them complaining in earshot. We first was attended to by Brian and while he stepped away for us to look over the menu, another waiter (a woman, name starts with a B) came and stood awkwardly next to our table and proceeded to ask what we wanted to drink. Confused bc Brian JUST spoke to us, she explained both of them would serve us. Then Brian speaks up and says she'll be taking over. Cool no sweat. Then i asked for straws for my water, and B proceeds to bring up two straws gripped in her bare hands and inserts it into my drink. NOT sanitary much?!?! Shortly after she starts brushing her hair with her bare hands, and EYE am supposed to drink water that's now contaminated with your hair dander... make it make sense omg. My espresso martini was super watery, NOTHING like the espresso martini I has during my past visits (been here twice). So I sent it back, the replacement was better but didn't top my previous time. He had a tequila Bloody Mary, enjoyed the tomato juice but felt his drink was watery too. I was hoping the food would stand out as it was very delicious my last visit. But it was just so so. I ordered the French toast and truffle Mac. The anglaise was incredibly runny, I was so confused. It was like my French toast was in watery soup and it got so soggy real fast. The flavors are there though, like it would've been a 10/10 otherwise. The truffle Mac was oddly bland given such a dynamic dish. It wasn't like my first experience, but it did still have gooey cheese! He had the steak and eggs, every bite was great (he cleaned the plate!). They cooked the steak to perfect tempt, the potatoes were savory, and all other compliments were delicious. Last but not least, it's inconsiderate to start setting the table for dinner service while guests are still sitting at the table. Idk what was going on today at this restaurant but everyone was off and the food and drinks was MEH. Will likely only return if I'm hitting the bar--night and day service, comparatively. read more

HAVEN Riverfront Restaurant & Bar - View from the patio seating. - New American Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

While visiting the area for a show across the bridge, I wanted a nice restaurant with a view close to my hotel (Homewood Suites) and located two options. It rained the Saturday morning I went to Haven Riverfront Restaurant so I wasn't too disappointed when I called an hour prior to wanting a table in the main dining area. The hostess did inform me that they had bar seating available on a first-come first-serve basis. When my partner and I arrived a little after 1PM, there were quite a few tables available in the bar area. It was a nice option to do the pre-fixe brunch for $39 which includes one brunch item and a choice of (2) mimosas, bellinis, or bloody marys. I ordered the American Breakfast which included your choice of eggs, bacon, potatoes, (3) mini pancakes, and a salad. The portion size was perfect. The potatoes were very delicious. The bacon slab which very thick but had a lot of fat so I picked off the extra fat. The mini pancakes were yummy and included a small carafe of syrup. What was missing was some salad dressing for the small salad also on the plate. We ordered (1) of each mimosa and bellini. The service was very good but the bill was a little bit of a surprise. When I saw pre-fixe for $39, I was expecting to see a $39 charge for each of our meals and that was not the case. My partner ordered the steak and eggs brunch item and was charged $47 while my American Breakfast was priced at $39. So with the drinks having a price of $9 each, we were not charged a pre-fixe price. We were charged the menu price of our meal plus 2 drinks each which is fine but it's not what I was expecting. read more

Came here for brunch on an insanely rainy Saturday which did not ruin the vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I did a prefix menu and ordered the pulled short rib Benedict which was incredibly delicious. The pulled short rib sat on what I can only describe as the 15 hour potato in a slice that mimicked a slice of toast which was insane and crispy and creamy all in one. This was so genius! The meat was tender and topped with caramelized onions and then had two poached eats on top. The dish was great as a whole and I would absolutely get again, but I knocked a star off because the yolks of poached eggs were filled cooked like hard boiled cooked. While it did not ruin the dish, for an eggs Benedict they should have been runny. The mimosa were good that was part of the prefix but they were nothing fancy. Would definitely come here again for the food and atmosphere especially on the summer as their outdoor space looked quite lovely. read more

Came here several times for brunch and for dinner, the restaurant has a great River view and it's just really lovely to sit outside during the summer time. Servie is always good. I do think the food is pricey and I don't like they have customers pay for the credit card transaction fee. I honestly think the credit card transaction fee should be restaurant's responsibility. This is the reason that I took 2 stars off. read more

I came here for a baby shower, and it was around brunch time on a Saturday. They had a la carte or a prix fixe menu, which included two drinks. The place had coatcheck, which came in handy. The place has a nice view if you're sitting by the waterfront. The server that we had was really nice and efficient. He asked the table if we wanted drinks, and I asked for mocktails. I had two, and others had a few on the list, too. It was very tasty. I had the American breakfast for my meal. In it were the smoked thick cut bacon slabs, mini buttermilk pancakes, two eggs (your way), crispy hash browns, and served with house salad. It's a typical breakfast, which I hardly have at home. For dessert, I ordered the salted caramel & vanilla ice cream sundae. This was really yummy. It's a large dessert enough for two people. I would go back to try out their lunch or dinner menu. read more

Great views, great service, but, most importantly, great food! My wife and I decided to come here, along with our little one, for our wedding anniversary lunch and everything was absolutely PERFECT. We chose to do a weekday lunch here because we figured it would not be busy and we were spot on as there were only a few tables occupied by the time we finished our meal. I have to admit, we wish we could have come for the much more robust dinner menu, but, honestly, wouldn't change the great experience we had. First, arriving here. You might think parking could be a challenge, but nope. You can easily find parking at an indoor parking lot around the corner on Somerset Ln ... for FREE! Yes, free parking, believe it or not! We arrived for lunch at 11:45am and were promptly seated indoors by the window. It was an amazingly nice, warm day for November, but we decided to sit indoors just in case our little one got cold. However, DO sit outdoors and take advantage of the lovely view of the Hudson River and Manhattan if you are presented with the opportunity. The lunch menu isn't huge, so, in a way, it worked in our favor because with large menus I will literally read through it like a book and change my mind on what I want to order every 10 seconds. I know I'm not alone there - you know who you are. I won't pour through the details of everything we ordered and what was good and what wasn't because just about EVERYTHING we ordered was really, really tasty. The lone item that I would say we would teeter on ordering again were the Creamy Lobster Risotto Croquettes, which were a bit on the dry, stickier side, instead of creamy. However, other than that everything I list here was 100% DELICIOUS and a MUST, MUST order: - AROUND THE WORLD OYSTER TASTING (4 ATLANTIC, 4 PACIFIC, 4 KUMAMOTO) - CREAMY LOBSTER RISOTTO CROQUETTES - CHAR GRILLED WAKAME OCTOPUS - Yes, absolutely order this. The octopus was perfectly cooked. - CRAB PUPPIES - GRILLED CHURRASCO SKIRT STEAK - Can't go wrong with their skirt steak. Nicely cut and perfectly seared. - GRILLED COLORADO SHORT RIB - We had our reservations about ordering this, but it was also on the dinner menu, so we figured it had to be really good, and MY GOODNESS, the sauce was so tasty and the short rib was ridiculous ... I mean RIDICULOUSLY tender. This was our favorite out of all of the dishes we ordered. - WARM CHOCOLATE BROWNIE - BAILEYS IRISH CRÈME BRULEE What else can I say? We couldn't have picked a more perfect location for our anniversary lunch. We rarely have date lunches or dinners these days and HAVEN was the best possible spot we could have picked for our special day. read more

Came here for lunch today... We walked in and was greeted by the hostess who had the most cheerful disposition and wonderful smile! It was rainy and gloomy outside, so we weren't in the best mood, but she turned it around quickly! We were seated at a table that overlooked the view of the ocean and even though it was cloudy outside, it still was a serene view! If you do happen to dine at this restaurant, please get a table where you can take in that beauty! Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu, and because they changed up the menu there were some dishes that they no longer had available. But he was able to offer us great alternatives which was great! We decided to order a variety of appetizers so we could taste a a few options. We ordered the pan seared sea scallops, the short rib bruschetta, the southwestern chicken spring rolls, and the truffle mac & cheese. The seared scallop dish was the best I've ever had! The scallops were cooked beautifully (in my Gordon Ramsay voice) the dish was perfection. It was to die for! and whatever the sauces that accompanied the dish blew me away! My only negative is that I wish I had much much more! All of the dishes were extremely delicious, and you can tell that the chef goes the extra mile to make sure that each plate that comes out is no less than perfect! I truly cannot wait to come back to this establishment! Please do yourself a favor, and if you are ever in Edgewater, New Jersey, run, and do not walk here! You will thank me later! #chefskiss read more

Went with my family for post Christmas lunch and let me say, I expected way more. The food was okay, little bit bland for my taste and I wasn't even drinking. Between my party, we had the burger, skirt steak, filet mignon, and the salmon. The only dish that was seasoned properly was actually redone. We ordered the filet mignon medium rare for my mom. It came out well done. My mom was this is tough and when I saw it, I immediately had it sent back. I end up sharing my salmon with my mom until her steak came back which was almost when everyone was almost finished with their food. The filet when cooked to the right temp, it was the best of the dishes. It tasted like it was aged. Fries was fresh and hot. Overall, 2nd try was perfect. If only it came out right the first time. As for the salmon, it was cooked well. It was a very small piece though. At $20+, I was expecting at least maybe 6oz. It is probably 3oz at most. The skirt steak was underseasoned and needed more sauce to help its flavor profile. I didn't get to try the burger but my family said it was good. Lastly, I wish they post signs that parking anywhere that doesn't sat resident is okay. We had trouble figuring out if we can park around home goods. By the way, it is safe to park there since the area is considered like a mall area. It's definitely not very clear if you aren't a regular of the area. Overall, would I be back? Eh, maybe just for the view when it's warm and maybe happy hour. It left much more to be desired. The 3 stars are mainly because the staff were great and the place was clean/ nice ambience. read more

Came to Haven for a date night and we were not disappointed! The price point for the quality of the food and location was a pleasant surprise. Both of our proteins were cooked to perfection and the flavors were on point. Loved the ambiance and even with the open concept of the restaurant, it still felt like we had our own space. The staff were nice, but do seem to need a bit more training! read more

We had so many positive comments from the people that attended. I would definitely recommend them and use them again! read more

Haven has theeee best location!!! Right on the water with outdoor seating is absolutely beautiful! The service from the valet to the hostess to the waiters was top notch. The restaurant is pretty expensive so I expected everything to be amazing. Our drinks were cool, however the appetizers were abysmal. Expensive, small portions, and lacked flavor equals a star subtraction. Our entress were pretty tasty and flavorful but also a small portion. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at Haven, but the appetizers need some work to get the full 5 stars. I do recommend this restaurant to others! Check it out, you won't be disappointed:) read more

When we decided to come here, I couldn't remember why this place sounded so familiar and then I realized it's because several of my Yelp friends raved about this place over the years. We had a great time and enjoyed delicious food at Haven. There is a main dining area with beautiful waterfront views. However, we didn't make a reservation and were given a choice of a table off to the side or at the bar. We chose the table off to the side (no view). The table was spacious, like the type you see in old school steakhouses. We ordered the short rib bruschetta to start. For entrees, we ordered the lamb shank, one of the steak dishes, and the shrimp pasta dish. We also ordered a side of mash potatoes and a side of Parmesan truffle fries. The short rib bruschetta was ok but I would have preferred it with some tomatoes. It was my least favorite of the dishes. I had the shrimp pasta dish and it was very good. There were several small tomatoes bursting with flavor. It made the dish very tasty. It came with 4 very large shrimp and a burrata. The dish all came together nicely. The Parmesan truffle fries were so delicious! They're addictive and had great flavor. I didn't try the other dishes but were told that the steak was outstanding and that the lamb shank was one of the best that we've had. We also ordered the dessert sampler for 2. It comes with 12 morsel sized treats ($28), 3 each of key lime pie, white chocolate cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut mousse and apple tartlet. All were delicious and had its own burst of flavor. It is a bit pricey so be prepared to splurge. Portions are not large. Expect entrees to run from $30-$74, with most entrees around the $40 range. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening with my girlfriend, we had reservations for indoor dining and were seated as soon as we arrived. Service was good overall we had a hectic day that day and had to change our reservation 3 times and was accommodated without any issues. Our waiter was super attentive, views were amazing and great music selection and volume was perfect for conversation. I would have to say the calamari is the best calamari I have ever tasted. The pretzel crust definitely hit in a way I didn't expect. Crab puppies and the dragonfruit salad was great as well, the crab puppies had a bit of a spicy kick to it and the dragon fruit was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. For the entree we ordered the ribeye (not pictured) to share, which was also enjoyable and cooked to perfection. We also got the lychee martini (not pictured) and I believe its called spicy marg. Drinks were not watered down at all and I also have to give credit to the bartender who was working alone that evening. For dessert we ordered the churro cobbler which took about 15min to make but definitely worth the wait. My only complaint was that they served only one piece of delicious complimentary bread and butter, or maybe im just greedy lol read more

You can also mix and match so I tried one Bellini and mimosa - pretty good! I got the haven burger - it was perfect. Quality meat, seasoning was great, and cooked well. Views are the best! I have to mention the clean bathrooms too - washable towels to dry your hands! read more

Beautiful restaurant nice view apps great entrees need work baileys creme brûlée was fantastic

Service is very basic at this very nice river view restaurant. After two years, the food isn't better and definitely worse based on my brunch dish. So, I went for brunch and it was surprising to see what they put on your plate. My potatoes were bottom of the pot, super over cooked bits. It's like reallly chef!?! And I ordered chickens n waffles. Not chicken waffles and salad with two sauces one including a very out of place Asian bottled chili sauce drizzled over the waffles, chicken and poached eggs. It's again, why chef. Then a load of ketchup and syrup on the side. Some rethinking is needed. I couldn't enjoy it the way I wanted to with all the extra sauces. And the amount of chicken/waffle was a bit lacking. I'd rather pay more than $22, for a better serving of food. Mimosa was great and I love the wine list. read more

My sister and I selected Haven for our post-half marathon brunch. A few friends had recommended it, so I was looking forward to trying it. It was finally a sunny Sunday, so we lucked out with getting a table outdoors. Absolutely gorgeous views of the city and it has a fair amount of shade, which is a plus! My sister and I loved our entrees. She had the prosciutto and burrata toast and I enjoyed the brioche french toast. Perfect portions, loved the potatoes accompanying the toast, and the bacon was delightfully crispy. Definitely wish there was a little less sauce on the French toast, but it was delicious. Now, Haven advertises a weekend brunch 11-3 with a prix fixe menu. This includes 2 brunch cocktails. We wanted to toast our success with some mimosas but were told by our server that we couldn't be served until noon. Odd, since the brunch advertisement online and outside of the restaurant makes no note of that for Sundays, but I respect there may be a regulation they're following. However, as we're enjoying our food, we notice at least three tables around us are being served brunch cocktails and it was at least another 15 minutes until noon. This lack of consistency in honoring the brunch menu definitely soured our celebratory meal a bit. I guess to be on the safe side, I would make a noon reservation next time to fully enjoy the brunch experience. read more

First time here and had a nice experience. I went through a lot of reviews and was a little skeptical as there were some poor ones there. Let me say we had a very nice experience and I would come back. Beautiful views of the Hudson, nice landscaping, very clean, modern sleek look. The bathrooms were clean and well appointed. The staff was courteous, attentive and did a good overall job. As I'm picky there were some small things to improve on although no deal breakers. They have a nice brunch menu that is fairly priced at $36 which includes 2 mimosas or Bellinis. A few of us had Bloody Marys and they were included. For appetizers we shared the Shrimp Firecracker, creamy lobster risotto croquettes, and the char grilled Wakame octopus. For the main course We ordered the South African lobster eggs Benedict which was $49 instead of $36, had the grilled Free range chicken over salad short ribs and eggs Benedict. All of the food was good although we found the eggs and chicken salad to be a little salty. For me the best part was the warm chocolate brownie which was served with white chocolate mousse, peanuts, toffee caramel swirl, Oreo and cocoa nib crumble topped with vanilla chocolate gelato. This was the highlight of my dinner. We also had the chocolate croissant bread pudding. This had vanilla sabayon and Kentucky bourbon sauce. Overall nice experience, good value and portions, would be great for the outside seating during the summer. I'm sure it's a romantic spot at nights with the views of Manhattan. I would recommend them and we had a fairly attentive wait staff. read more

Decided to visit this place for our anniversary! (We usually visit the chart house but wanted to try something different this time and this place has been on my list of places to try) Upon arrival, we asked the host if we can get the window seat and she said she will try her best. As she walked us to the main area, she gave us two table option of where we would like to sit. This place is pretty but their best seating is definitely in the back corner by the window. Other than that, the other window seating is just okay. For appetizer, we ordered their oysters (one of each) and it was so good! And the crab puppies? They're like crab cake and it was alright. For our entree, I ordered the brisket because it was recommended by our waiter and she specifically said, "our brisket is really good and it will melt in your mouth." Let me tell you, it was so dry and did not melt in my mouth at all. My husband ordered the squid ink spaghetti and it was okay. It was good but not all that. (Maybe I already have high expectation because my oyster was so good) For my drink, I ordered the lychee lychee (I believe that's the name) this was also recommended by the waiter when I asked her I want something sweet and can't really taste the alcohol. And this drink is definitely straight up alcohol. I couldn't drink it at all. I gave it to my husband and even he thinks that the drink was so strong. As for desert, we got their bread pudding and that was good too. Nothing special about it though. read more

Somewhere between a 3 and a 4 but there were some service hiccups that were at odds with the overall feel of the restaurant and what they're aiming for. They do a pre fixe brunch course with your choice of dish and two of mimosa, bellini or Bloody Mary - I suspect the drinks are more juice than alcohol but it didn't stop some of the tables from belting out happy birthday renditions. Just know that if you come for weekend brunch, it's going to have that sort of vibe. The volume tends to get loud, not helped by the glass windows. (Yes, the view is stunning but if you're sitting indoors, they only have a few tables right by the window. The other tables have "partial" views, which are just all right.) I liked the short rib bruschetta as a starter, while the octopus could have come off the heat maybe a minute earlier - had that rubbery texture that comes from over-cooking. Grilled shrimp salad was delicious and a generous portion, but a tad heavy on the cheese and dressing. (Totally not what I had in mind for a lighter lunch but I ate the whole thing anyway because lettuce doused in cheese and dressing ... I can't turn that down.) On to the service: our main waiter was awesome but the busboy seemed oblivious to some of the details. He brought out the starters without realizing none of us had small plates or utensils. Same thing happened with dessert - bringing out the dishes but not seeing we had anything to eat it with. Also noticed other tables getting visibly frustrated by trying to order, no one coming by to check, etc. Overall, would maybe recommend if you have a big group for an occasion but Edgewater has so many other good restaurants, not sure if this one really sticks out. read more
