    The food is good, but a bit pricey for what it is. I ordered steak with rice ($16), and my girlfriend got a fish soup with rice and vegetables ($15). The waitress did not speak English at all, making communication a bit difficult. The fish soup exceeded our expectations. It was very tasty.

    I don't usually write reviews unless its something really really really delicious or something really really really bad. This case it was too delicious and the service was awesome. I am from Peru and its rare to find good quality food nowadays. The lady in the kitchen reminded me a lot of my mom. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Thank you! Usualmente no escribo a no que el lugar sea demasiado bueno o demasiado malo. En este caso mi experiencia en "Me Sabe A Peru" fue demasiado buena. La comida estuvo super deliciosa y el servicio estuvo excelente. Soy de Peru y hoy en dia es raro encontrar buena comida peruana de calidad. La señora que cocina me hizo recordar a mi madre mucho. Muy buena comida criolla y casera. Lo recomiendo altamente!. Gracias!

    This tiny hidden gem has been my go to for almost five years now. I can't believe there is only one review other than mine on here, esp since their always packed. Where do I even start? My favorite dish LOMO SALTADO! I have had Peruvian food in many locations in Paterson the heart of Peruvian food in Nj and they do not compare. The Ceviche mixto is another must if you enjoy fish. Also I recommend Jalea it's a combination of different seafood breaded deep-fried, my mouth is now watery. I'll post some photos I've posted on fb before this review. Another reason to try them weekdays they have lunch specials can of soda, a soup and a meal for $6 kinda hard to believe right?

    This is it when it comes to Peruvian food in Hudson county. The place is small, but the dishes are big and delicious.

    My bestie and I stumbled upon this gem because we had to pivot. The place we had in mind was not…read moreopened on this day. Honestly, I was happy because HAVEN was the first for BOTH of US . It's definitely up my alley! It gave the feel of being in Miami on a waterfront property. The Pisces in me had a ball! 1. Being by the Hudson River 2. Great view of Manhattan Skyline 3. Awesome seafood & selections 4. Great customer service 5. To top it off, creating great memories with the bestie You can't go wrong with any of their selections. Honestly, their menu does little to no justice in depicting their specialties. I really love that their selections are limited. In my opinion, it allows room to perfect their crafts. Room for improvements: A small suggestion for the lobster croquettes, I could not taste the lobster; however, my friend said she did. I also jokingly told my friend that the only thing missing from this restaurant is a restroom attendant serving me warm towels lol. The restroom also had a vibe to it with dimmed lighting and reusable washcloths. I already told bestie that when I visit again, "this will be our spot." Check it them out!

    My cousin (god we love her) lives in the building next door so for the past 2 years Haven has been…read moreher haunt. Now I have a thing when people say "it's just next door" or "it's right down the street." What did George Dubya say? Fool me once and it's shame on you, fool me twice and the shame is mine for getting us into a war based on lies and greed?" Yeah something like that. Anyways, I typically don't believe when people say something is close so whenever I visit her we just order in delivery rather than motivate (ie put on a bra) and go out. But dang it this is literally. Right. Next. Door. As in I can sit on the deck outside of the restaurant and look in her living room. Smh. I say all that to say IVE BEEN MISSING OUT!! Her bday was this weekend so she booked a large table for family and friends. I was relieved to see they had valet. Parking is atrocious in this development so to only pay $10 to be 10 feet from the door was awesome. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff know her well and treated her as a valued guest. Here's the rundown: We went for BRUNCH. They have a prix fixe for $41 of most of the brunch items and it includes 2 Bellini, 2 mimosas, or 2 Bloody Marys. Good right? Welp what you don't know is that their cocktail menu is incredible so to heck with the prix fixe. We got mimosas at home!! Between the 10 of us we got cocktails, appetizers, entrees, desserts, coffee. Highlights: -Service was spectacular. Wesley was On It! By the time we finished eating there was another party of 10+ seated right behind us that he was servicing. I hope he enjoys the reward$ of his hard work! Make it rain on em Wesley! -Fat friendly seating. No arms, solid chairs, comfortable cushions. We were there for 4 hours and my booty was never sore. -Food. We tore it up and it was all delicious. My half of the table had the farm house breakfast sando, the fried chicken sando, French omelette, huevo rancheros. We shared the crab hush puppies, wings, calamari, goat cheese salad, and blueberry pancakes. I was nosey and saw that some of my other table mates ordered the skirt steak and eggs and the short rib. -Drinks. I know my husband loves mango so I suggested he get the smoked mango drink. I didn't know it came with theatrics. Dinner and a show?! Btw by the time our table was done almost everyone had ordered one. Lychee martini, Paloma, old fashioned, midnight espresso. Also all very good! -The View. Our party was too large to sit outside but we did sit right at the floor to ceiling windows. In between birthday wishes and food comas we watched the boats, jet skis, and undulating waves of the Hudson. Previous posters are correct - the place is pricey. But high key the people who live in that area are already paying a premium for everything else sooooo. Now, I DONT live in that area lmao so this will be a rarer treat for me. But I was happy to celebrate my cousin's birthday in a place that she loves. Awesome experience - I look forward to returning! 10/10 would put on a bra for this and walk downstairs lol

I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

    Service here was great, it was pretty dead so we were sat immediately and were adequately checked…read moreon throughout. staff was exceptionally nice. ambiance in here is great, the interior is upscale but homey and we enjoyed the music they played the entire time. i loved the esquite with truffle, it was fantastic. tons of reall truffle and truffle flavor, i've never quite had anything like it and it was my favorite esquite i've ever had. The guac was good but could use a bit more salt, i wish they had chiccarons as chips instead of tortillas but the chips were great so wasn't a big issue. overall though expensive for some pretty average guac in my opinion. the seabass crudo was great, i loved the sauce and the mango went great with it. Super fresh, super tasty. Unfortunately the tacos were a mess, when it arrived the tortillas were so soggy that they were just coming apart, the meat was also falling off and overall the presentation was horrendous. the tacos weren't balanced as well, there were some with too much meat and then some with basically only cheese. overall flavor was not birria im typically use to but it was solid. honestly these tacos are probably the worst tacos i've ever had, for $20 it's a travesty. overall for a place nearby i'd come to get some drinks and the crudo and esquite because those were fantastic. but i'll pass on their tacos hard.

Very spacious restaurant with lots of seatings. We were seated immediately on a Friday night. We all ordered the combo/mix-and-match and the portions were huge!! Loved the seaweed oyster soup and grilled mackerel. Others ordered the LA galbi which was probably one of the best we've had. So flavorful. Seafood pancake was also good. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Service was attentive and fast. Our Korean friend said their kimchi was one of the best she has had. No wonder the restaurant actually sells it in a jar. Only complaint is it's tiny parking in the front but street parking is also available. This restaurant definitely has become one of our favorites.

The broth was decent but not great; it leans more on the herbal side and isn't as spicy as other places. Oyster, Seaweed & Beef Soup (3/5): Packed with seaweed, but only came with about 5 oysters and very little beef. The broth had a strong, decent seafood flavor. Fried Spanish Squid (3/5): This wasn't on the menu, but I was excited they could make it since I'd seen photos from 7 months ago. However, it was baby squid rather than the body of the squid. It also felt a bit overcooked, lacking that fresh, chewy texture
