The Haven Burger has my heart. I always try to order something else when I come here, but...The burger. THE BURGER. It calls to me from across the street. "Homemade ketchup," it whispers. ...Replace my morning cup of coffee with Haven homemade ketchup. Though the last couple of times I've gone, it's a little less awesome version of my dream-ketchup, but still. THE KETCHUP. THE BURGER. THE PICKLED VEGGIES. THE CAPSLOCK. I guess try the desserts, they're good too. And the beer (Skull Splitter, I like it). Whatever. Ketchup. read more

The food here is absolutely delectable! For brunch, I highly recommend the fish cakes and eggs benedict. I've never had such light and fluffy potato fish cakes before. It's pillowiness is reminiscent of great gnocchi. The outer shell has a crispy buttered coating. Topped with poached eggs and a rich hollandaise it was complemented with a bed of arugula dressed with a honey dressing. The space is a little tight but the food makes up for the space. read more

Contrary to other recent reviews, The Haven is a wonderful local establishment with yummy, hearty food and a lovely staff. It is disheartening that people are complaining about slightly higher prices when there are many supply chain issues, restaurants trying to continue to support their staff amidst a pandemic that is still wrecking havoc in the industry , and a plethora of other Issues outside of their control. I got the burger and it was a perfect medium rare while my boyfriend loved the chicken pot pie! The crust was flaky and delicious. We also got extra oatcakes to take home as a treat! Please continue to eat local and support places like the Haven! read more

My boyfriend and I went to The Haven last night for the first time. We live less than 1/2 mile away, and were so excited to discover such an amazing restaurant/pub so close to us! My boyfriend ordered the lamb pie - I do not eat meat for the most part, but he convinced me to try it. It was amazing! The meat was perfectly cooked, and the crust was rich and buttery. I had the wasabi salmon, which was fantastic. My only complaint is that it came with a huge side of mashed potatoes, which were really heavy, and no side of anything green. However, the fish itself was perfectly cooked and delicious. I read another review stating that the service was less-than-stellar - I completely disagree. Our service was fantastic, and our waitress was very pleasant. We went on a Thursday night, when they have live music - another great treat! Everyone that lives in JP needs to try The Haven - it's awesome! read more

Went for brunch here for the first time this weekend, and I was sad to have passed it up before. The food was delicious and unique. We split a Scottish Egg (egg wrapped in sausage), my boyfriend had the quiche, and I had the fishcakes. It was all delicious, generous portion sizes, and offered something I don't think you could get elsewhere nearby. I can't wait to go back and try dinner. The service was great, not overbearing but not absent. It's a little pricy, but not so much so that it's a turnoff. My only complaint, is the school chairs. They're cute and all, but just don't make for a comfy experience. Not worth taking a star off for, but couldn't not say something. read more

Great meal, great bar! The first truly authentic pub we have found in Boston. Maybe it's because the music wasn't blaring and there wasn't a plethora of flat screen televisions - but when we stepped in it felt like being back at home in an (albeit really nice, non-grimy, non-dive-bar) local pub. I think what I really like about it is that it is not like a "theme pub" like so many of the "Irish" bars are here. Even if there are Irish staff in the bars, they have this American vibe to them - as I said, not so here. The food was really tasty - I had fish and chips, and the batter was great - like batter found in a GOOD pub or chippie - so maybe not 'typical'!! It wasn't either the 'breaded' batter or tempura batter that you often find here. It was nice and thick and crisp, with that slightly moist white bit where it meets the fish. Husband had steak pie, and again, he thought it was really good. We split the shortbread for desert. Didn't want to buy into the myth that deep fried mars bars were what Scots eat for desert! Probably will succumb at some point though. The menu seemed great and will def be back to try more things. It is basically good pub grub that you would find in Scotland. I would hope that the chef will change it periodically though, because I can foresee coming back quite regularly. Very friendly staff was great to speak with someone from home. Will def be back! read more

Ever since Murphy's in Brookline went south, I've been looking for another place to enjoy fish and chips. The Haven, tucked away on Perkins, may just be the antidote! They have an extensive list of Scottish beers and some signature cocktails. I tried the Fernet Bru, which was Fernet Branca, bitters, and the "other" national drink, a bubblegum-orange soda called Irn Bru. It was definitely interesting! The woman next to us got several glasses of the mulled wine, so I'm guessing that it was pretty delicious. We started with the bridies (puff pastry stuffed with squash and goat cheese), which were tasty, but not worth $8. My husband got the Sassitch & Mash which he ate every last crumb of and raved about the entire time (he is not generally effusive with his praise). I got the Fish Dinner--battered/fried fish, thick chips, and minted mushy peas. The fish was incredibly fresh and flaky, the batter crisp, and the serving generous. I am not a fan of thick-cut fries, but I used them to sop up as much of the homemade ketchup as possible. I was too full for dessert but the mars bar, mince pie, sticky date pudding, and scotch coffee are all on my list of things to try. There's also a weekday tasting menu. I can't wait to go back and try everything else! Be sure to make a reservation because it's impossible to get in on a weekend without one. read more

The burger is OUT of this world good. The oatcakes they serve at the beginning are also delicious. My friends tell me that the alcohol selection is very good, with a number of recommendations for the haven heather ale. The haggis is actually pretty good as well. Monday's are trivia nights, and every team gets a free deep fried mars bar. The trivia is the right difficulty and the questions are fun. Come in with a kilt on fridays for a free deep fried mars bar as well! read more

The Haven is a cool little spot in Jamaica Plain with a cozy feel for brunch or a hot toddy on a cold, winter day and a menu that screams comfort food. My friend and I posted up at the corner of the bar and were able to have a nice catch up session in a relaxed, welcoming environment. I especially enjoyed my brunch option: the poached eggs over fish cakes with a side of arugula salad. The hollandaise sauce had pepper flakes in it to give it a really interesting extra bite. I did however stare longingly at the gentleman's massively stacked burger that came up immediately after we finished order. It literally had cubes of cheese on top of it. My Bloody Mary was pretty good (not great). I guess they put their own little, Scottish spin on it, but that spin doesn't include spice or horseradish unfortunately. Their hours are a bit weird... We came in for a late lunch on a Saturday and were surprised to find that they were closing at 2 30 once we had received our food. The service was a bit distracted as well. However, they were accommodating and didn't rush us out even though we didn't finish our meal until well over the 2 30 close. They open up again at 5pm for the evening. I'd come back again and to try a new, exciting modern Scottish dish! ... But that burger, though. read more

Overall experience was definitely above average, but not excellent! But maybe I am just a food fanatic, and very picky with food. Pros: - hot waitress - excellent service - free desert wine - really good sticky cake - juicy and affordable burger Cons: - meh deviled eggs (I prefer the traditional kind, without the fried crust) - blood sausages. Well I was just trying to be experimental. I like most weird things, such as shark fins, bird nest, octopus, etc. but definitely not a fan of these sausages. - a little over-hyped, too pricey for what they offer. Bottom line: Will I come back again? Prob not. But as a newbie, should you try it? Yes. read more

absolute perfection. I seriously have not one bad thing to say about this wonderful addition to my neighborhood. the decor and atmosphere is perfect for a chilly january night. the food is, too. the menu is small, but everything seems well-executed and I still had trouble deciding because it all sounded so good! they have a great selection of beers, most of which I've never seen before. the service was friendly and informative. I felt like I was a regular already. I love that they make everything from scratch on site (except the bread). I already can't wait to go back and know I will spend many evenings here. everybody at the haven: give yourselves a big round of applause. you really deserve it. I hope you are very successful! read more

Brunch was way overpriced and wasn't that special. I had the breakfast sandwich and for $13, I was expecting something amazing. It was dry and kind of mushy. My friend had the toffee french toast and commented "if toffee is mentioned twice int he description, shouldn't you be able to taste it?" I might go back and try them fro dinner, but I'll skip the brunch. read more

I love this pub! It makes me want to get back to my Scottish roots! (The little that I have ;) Fantastic dinner! I ordered the burger and it was one the best I've had in Boston. The only minus to my evening was that my girlfriend order the lamb. She wasn't a huge fan but she wants to try some other dishes. Hopefully her experience will be as good as mine next time. The staff was really on the ball! We will go back! read more

As close to Scotland as JP can be! I feel as though I'm sitting in Edinburgh when i'm in the heart of JP. Great beer selection! The Innis and Gunn Rum Cask, is by far my favorite. Fav Food: Fish and Chips! Simply amazing, generous portions. Chips are thick and fried to perfection. They make their own ketchup and tartar sauce. And the surprising addition of mushy peas puts it over the top! Haven Burger. Only need to say one thing.... Bacon-Onion Marmalade! Cons: The place is really small so when the bands are playing at the bar it gets a little jammed at the bar and dinning room. Try to avoid sitting hear the kitchen, high traffic and small tables. read more

Belated check in....came here for mother's day brunch. Such a great vibe in the place. The food was ridconculous. The staff was friendly, genuine (NOT like the British Beer Company where nothing nor no one was British), and welcoming - and did I mention the chef is a genius?? Upon completion of my delectable feast, felt like taking down a castle with Braveheart and his clan. 5 stars - well done. read more

I wish I could give a 3.5 star review. Really cool restaurant with an authentic Scottish style. We went on a Friday night and they had a bag-pipe player jamming out every 20 minutes or so. The staff is friendly and the Scottish food is awesome. Definitely try the deviled egg. It will blow up your head. If you are planning to come here, anticipate a looooooong meal. The service is very slow. I think it's because the kitchen is small and they only have one or two waiters taking care of the whole restaurant. I would have bought more drinks here if the waiting staff had paid more attention to us...but we didn't even get our water refilled over a 2 hour meal. With the slow service though, we never felt rushed at all. Definitely give the Haven a chance. read more

This is a fantastic intimate spot in the Hyde Park section of JP. The theme all around is Scottish, and it applies to the decor, the owner, the fine selection of bottled Scottish ale and the food (my god, the food). You definitely get the feeling you've been transported somewhere else, and remarkably, you are never beaten over the head with kitsch or cheap Americanized mash-ups. The burger is hands down the best within a square mile, and everything else looks dangerously appealing. Back to the burger... its primal, its succulent, and you may need a shower when you forfeit the plate. Intimate means this place fills up fast, and If you're hoping for bar seats you're better off trying for an off-peak time or day. Awesome addition to the area. read more

Love, love, love. Fantastic beer selection, the best BLT you'll ever have and really great events. The pub atmosphere is comfortable and happy, the staff is friendly and helpful and the music is always good (the bagpipe nights are especially entertaining). I've loved everything I've had to eat, I'm not a huge fan of steak fries in general, i like thinner crispier ones, but they're still yummy :) They make their own delicious ketchup. It's down the street from my house but even if it wasn't I'd go out of my way to visit because I've never had a bad time. read more

Good god I love this place. going there for brunch is next on my to-do list but I've been there for dinner at least 3 times. Weeknights are best because there's more seating available. the owner and staff are super super nice, my boyfriend and I bonded with one of the girls who is from Maine like us. I brought my sister and her boyfriend here because they're both beer and food lovers, and they still talk about this place. My favorite dish is the fish supper, I am addicted to their minted mushy peas. But a very honorable mention goes to their lamb vindaloo. Also my boyfriend ranks them the best burger he's ever had. little but pricey but honestly it's totally worth it. Their delectable mixed drinks are what get me. they have local and Scottish craft beers too, and usually Downeast Cider is on the menu as well. read more

Best Burger in JP GREAT: The staff are lovely and really put in the effort GOOD: The burger is very good, but inconsistently cooked to order GOOD: Duck breast with potato veggie hash... crispy skin and not too dry OK: The (small) draft list isn't just UK beers anymore... thank God! OK: The scotch egg is hard boiled and deviled only... sadly, can't get em with a runny yolk BAD: The fries/chips are dreadful . Very large and mealy in texture. Not very crunchy on the outside. BAD: The fish and chips are not great. Bready, and they are haddock, which is an oily mess of a fish. I wish Boston area pubs would stop forcing this terrible combo on us. NEEDED: More local beers on tap, better fish and chips VERDICT: this place has come a long way, and it keeps getting better. Definitely the best burger in JP. High hopes! read more

Great atmosphere and great service. Best part - No giant loud TV screens everywhere playing loud sports . They have one tiny one on top of the bar usually showing golf or anything other than baseball (most of the time on MUTE) I love that. Service is excellent and reminds me of similar places over the pond. Great place to unwind. I recommend Robert Burns night and the haggis. Grand, just a grand place :) cheers read more

First of all, what GREAT food! We went to the Haven soon after it opened and had an amazing dinner of Fish and Chips with classic across the pond flair. My girlfriend had Chicken Tikka Masala (yes, them europeans love their Indian flava!) which I found absolutely stunning! The chicken was roasted perfectly with crispy skin and moist meat and a wonderful spice mix with a touch of anise (which I usually hate but LOVED) which conjured up thoughts of chinese 5 spice. For apps we had the Vegetable Bridie (I'm still not sure how to say this but is was oh so good!) and the Apple, Arugula, and Gorgonzola (just a touch!) salad. Both were very tasty. The beers were cold and went down good! 5 or 6 taps with more local selections and I'm sure the bar was stocked although we were there more for dinner. The aesthetic was great, very light with cream tone walls in the dining room and tasteful wood panel and a bar of reclaimed wood in the bar area. There were antler chandeliers and mementos of Scotland scattered throughout. Overall we had a great time and will certainly be attending frequently at this rate! read more

Draft Belhaven.....yummm. Never had less than a fantastic experience here. Food is amazing, atmosphere is warm and pleasant, and Jason and co. are the best. Sometimes I feel like i'm pushing my luck when I bring someone new to The Haven. Like, maybe it won't be their type of place? But it always is. Always. It's that good. Michelle R. put it best: ...just. Just, GO TO THERE. (!) read more

Best. Burger. Around. I personally don't love steak cut fries which accompany the burger, but the burger is the star anyways. Juicy, usually with fresh buns, it's a favorite. We've also been for brunch before and it was delicious- very filling! read more

I've gone here twice now for our scooter meetings (vintage scooter club meet-ups). A few people live in JP so it works out well for us to meet here as a central meeting spot. Everyone seems to be happy with their food and drinks. Drinks: They have a full license so you can get mixed liquor, beer, cider, wine, etc. I have gotten a Dark and Stormy there before (which was good) and last time saw they had Crabby's Ginger Beer (actual alcohol in that ginger beer!). I have heard about that drink but hadn't seen it until now. They also have some good cider which makes me happy because I'm not much of a beer person. If you check-in you can get a free port with a dessert order, we used the promo the first time we went, Food: It's a Scottish restaurant so expect Scottish food, that being said - it's meat heavy and not a lot of vegetarian options. There are a few things like salad, stuffed peppers, and bridies. For vegans it's much more limited - there is only one option and it's not even a real entree. They have a vegetarian platter where you pick 3 veggie sides for your dish. Part of me thinks this idea is lazy and they should offer a hardy vegan meal and part of me thinks it's cool because you can vary it if you come often. I think without the variety having one limited dish would get very boring over time if you came here often; but this is JP - lots of vegans live here so maybe it's time to change it up/offer more. Typically I get the braised kale, minty mushy peas, and the hand-cut chips (aka steak fries). Every time the server assures me it's all vegan but I have to say each time I am very skeptical. The kale is very flavorful, almost too flavorful to be vegan and I do worry there is some butter or broth cooked with it. I would suggest talking to the chef just to confirm it's safe to eat. The fries and mushy peas are good too. They also give you some Scottish bread and butter snack while you are waiting, I don't care for it - too dense for me. They have other interesting non-vegan things like fried eggs (with sausage), traditional haggis, and a deep fried Mars bar for dessert. Service is always good and friendly. They have live music but not when I've been there. Both times we came were on a week day night without reservations and our group of 8 could get seated pretty fast. We managed to find street parking near by. read more

See all

Do you like cozy spots that make you feel like you're stepping into a European pub? Would you enjoy a bartender/owner who wears a kilt? Do you want a hot toddy in a mason jar on a cold winter night? Have you had trouble finding a place that serves haggis in the Boston area? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then head for The Haven. It is right in my neighborhood and I don't go nearly often enough. Their food is good, but I usually go for the drinks. I have a hot toddy tooth that will just not subside, and this is where I go to indulge. I've heard their brunch is fantastic but alas have not yet been. My one con is that the bar area isn't very big, and while that adds to its charm, it means you are sometimes fighting for a place to sit (or even stand without being in the way!) on a fri/sat night. read more

In three months I will be MOVING to Scotland. I will unendingly miss The Haven. Wicked dumb right? Well the owner (who I am secretly in love with) won't be in Scotland. The free coffee refills won't be in Scotland. The Scottish Blend tea won't be exciting when I'm in Scotland. It won't be in JP. I'm leaving my favorite Scottish pub behind to go to stupid Scotland. read more

As far as brunch food goes, Haven is the real deal, baby... A group of 4 of us were there on Mother's Day, and despite the vast quantities of mothers and babies and grandmas and strollers, we were seated pretty quickly. The bloody mary wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but at least 3 people at the table who like pepper in their drinks thought it was fantastic. Everyone's meals (fish cakes, salmon eggs benedict) looked and smelled AMAZING and my egg sandwich was just awesome. Serious creativity from the chef with the layering of meat, softness of the side-dish of beans, texture of the egg, taste of the cheese baked onto the bun. I could go on... Overall, very tasty, and excellent portion sizes. As a side note: I feel like brunches generally have an uphill battle in the food world. Eggs/pancakes/french toast/and crepes (if you want to get exotic). Not mind blowing. And FYI, the best part of a crepe is how you pronounce it; the worst part is how hungry you feel after you've had several. So when you find a place that can add some flare to brunch, leave you full, and wanting to come back despite those inherent "brunch" limitations, you hold on. Tight. Haven. I love you. read more

The Haven is such an apt name for this place. After trying to deal with the crowds at Canary Square, we trudged back through the snow here. We were greeted with warmth, two bar stools and a friendly bar tender. Excellent selection of brews here that you won't see many other places The lentil stew was great. (Yes vegetarians, there is one thing for us, but at least it's good.) Hot tip: Skip Canary Square on a Saturday night - come here! read more

Now, read this as if you are hearing Oprah Introduce it: "IIIIIIIInnnnnnnnnCCCccreeeeeeddddiiiibbbbbllllee" Love the burger there. It is so flavorful and even just smells like you would want to swim in it. The fries are like potato wedges and you can get them with the vinegar on top. Do it. My S.O. loves that they have a kilt night (Fridays I believe) and we've been to the trivia night as well. Participation in either will get you a free (delicious) Fried Mars Bar. Great place, friendly staff, awesome dedicated owner. Try the Haven Heather Ale! I'm a big fan. read more

This is my new go-to pub in the neighborhood. I'm happy to know the only scottish bar in town is steps from my home. (despite my irrational fear of haggis) The owner Jason rocks. He's the kind of guy that takes note of the regulars and befriends everyone. You'll usually catch him sporting the latest in scottish fashion. Even coming in by yourself is a treat because he'll chat you up at the bar. I found the food to be very good from what I've tried. So far on my tally sheet I have the haven burger (orgasmic), the Tomato Birdie (tasty but kind of small) and a deep fried Mars bar with the homemade whip (arteries just clogged a little, could only do a bite or two :x). I will most likely be scolded for missing the Scotch egg. My one gripe with this place is I manage to get a stomach ache about 70% of the time I eat here because the food is a bit dense. As much as I love their chips and homemade ketchup, I don't eat particularly heavy food regularly so it catches up with me. Also, they don't have a full liquor license so beer and wine only. This isn't a problem for me (btw Pretty Things and Harpoon on tap OMG!) but I have friends that will ONLY do cocktails and refuse to go to a bar without them. *kanyeshrug* read more

I really dig this place. It's super casual and the food is SO good. For dinner I've tried the curried chicken sandwich and the burger which were both amazing! I also stopped by for brunch and had the Scotch Egg along with the Salmon and Ramp Scramble which were both SOOO delicious. The scramble was packed full of flavor and just so unexpectedly wonderful! The prices are right on point and they do a fairly good job of getting you seated quickly. They also have a small bar area with a wonderful listing of brews. Definitely worth venturing to JP for. From their website it looks like they have live music pretty frequently. Definitely another great reason to head back! read more

The place itself is very quaint and homey so I had high hopes. Service was kind of slow, but maybe that's because there is only one waitress serving both rooms. Don't come on an empty stomach, food took a while. Food itself is pretty good, I order the smoked fish, flavor were present but I didn't finish it. read more

The Haven - Gastropubs Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

This has become a regular hangout for my husband and I. This place has a low key atmosphere, great Scottish food, and a friendly knowledgeable staff. We've been to The Haven almost every week since it opened and usually sit at the bar and order beer and our dinner. The Haven Burger is delicious, and a menu staple. Other parts of the menu change seasonally. The beer also changes from time to time depending on what's available and seasonal. Always on tap is Belhaven, a Scottish brew. The Haven is also a place that draws ex-pats and neighborhood people, making for a great crowd. We always seem to meet great people there and strike up a conversation. And Jason, the barkeep, is amazing! Try the bread pudding too! read more

Jackson Sq on the Orange Line! Had a good buddy make it in for New Years (amazingly), so I figured I check off a new stop while I waited for my girlfriend (stuck in Florence, SC) and my roomate (stuck in Chicago, IL). Like many restaurants, as I'm beginning to find in Boston, this place is kinda small (maybe 30 tables) at best, but the atmosphere was nice and dark, quiet, and scottish country side pub-like. I had the Beef and Ale Pie, which was some seriously tasty stuff. Since it was a Thursday, there was a small trio there playing celtic music which added to the authenticity of the place. I give it 3 stars because the service was kinda seriously slow, the table was too small, and the booth/chairs at the table were pretty uncomfortable. In addition, although what food there was good, the menu selection was kinda lacking. And for all the hype on the website, the Scottish beer selection was also pretty slim. I'd say: go check it out, the place is neat to go once, but probably not good enough to make it a regular thing. read more

I like this place a lot, the ambience is really nice and the drinks are delicious. The food is really good too!

The Haven for hipsters that is. Seriously everyone who was here when I was, was a hipster. Not that I dont like hipsters.... Anyway I went here for sunday morning brunch. Got a Scotch egg as an appetizer and the breakfast sandwich. The Scotch egg was delicious but it came with arugula which I dont think any chef can make taste good. The dipping mustard for the Scotch egg was spicy but I liked it. The Breakfast sandwich came with homemade baked beans which I thought were good. The Breakfast sandwich was very big and very heavy. I ate at noon and I was still not hungry at six. It is stuffed with an egg, a sausage, some kind of patatoe thing with a sause. I thought the sandwich as a whole was too greasy, but I finished it... ALL OF IT!!! read more

The Haven is one of those magical places where one moment you're on a boring US street (sorry JP!) and the next you've stepped inside to bonny ol' Scotland. (The other magical place that does that is Epcot, but this one has way fewer screaming children, so it wins.) Jason, the owner, has a lovely (but understandable!) brogue, which I found myself starting to mimic after a few drinks, and the food was delicious and authentic. Jason made great beer suggestions (Innis & Gunns is my new favorite.) He was totally accommodating when we declared our love for his haddock balls (part of the smoked fish plate), and brought out a whole plate of just his balls for us. (Everyone with a middle-school mind like me, pause for a giggle.) Highly recommend hitting up the Haven to anyone into new and interesting beer, haggis lovers, or anyone who enjoys sitting at the bar and sharing good tales. read more

I never thought I could a love a restaurant as much as this, and have it so close to our home! First off, we generally have tried most of the restaurants in Jamaica Plain and have had great experiences, but we like to vary it up and try different ones, and there are a lot of restaurants in J.P. to choose from so it usually is awhile before we try a restaurant a second time. We moved to J.P. a little over 2 years ago, we tried the restaurant Zon's and enjoyed it and before we could try it a second time, it was closed! Fortunately the Haven has opened in Zon's old spot. In the few months it has been open, we have gone to the restaurant seven times, a record for us of any restaurant but especially amazing given the short time! We have loved absolutely everything on this menu and have almost gone completely down the entire menu, we have had, beef & ale pie, haggis, duck masala, beet salad, "quackling" salad, barley rissotto, the scotch egg (my wife had this, I'm not that into eggs), tomato bridie, coronation chicken sandwich, sunchoke cullen skink, sassitch and mash, and all four of their deserts (our favorite is the shortbread with chocolate dipping cups, with just a pinch of chile pepper) ... Needless to say, we've loved everything and are probably going to clear the whole menu in its entirety very soon! Parts of the menu change from time to time which is just great in our opinion, as you get to try something new each time. The staff is fantastic and the beers are delicious. My favorites are the Belgian Pale Ale and Belhaven Ale, my wife loves the harpoon wet hops. The joker IPA is also nice. If you like them on Facebook you can find out about various events and new beers coming out. They also give you some nice pickled vegetables and oatbread when you first sit down. We have come here with as many as five people, on the weekends and during the week, and have never had to wait that long, and the place always has a good crowd. I can't recommend this place enough, as someone who generally doesn't go out a whole lot, this place keeps making us want to go back so much! read more

This place is awesome and I am sad I did not get to visit it more often! I brought my family here for xmas eve. Not good for picky teenagers but otherwise excellent despite their whining! The service was excellent first off. My boyfriend and were brave and got the Haggis, he liked it but I think I am all set! hahha. My parents got the Vegetable Bridies and the Scotch Devil Eggs- absolutely decadent!!! So delicious! Especially the eggs. My mother and I got the Lamb Vindaloo, which was a bit spicy and not exactly in the Indian tradition, but the lamb was absolutely succulent. My boyfriend got the Highlander Steak Pie, which was delicious, the pastry was great. My father got the Scottish Salmon, which he said was excellent, even better than when he had it in Scotland, and ate every bite. My brother (self-proclaimed the most picky 18 year old of all time) reported the Haven Burger was good (I liked the homemade ketchup even if he didn't care for it); and my sister (also a picky 16 year old) reported the Fish Supper was good and didn't leave a bit on the plate. We had the Deep Fried Mars Bar and the Chocolate Whoopie Pies for dessert. The mars bar was good, though tasted like it was more likely from a Texas Country Fair than from the UK, but my family reported the pies were unfortunate. oh well. The Whiskey Cask cider is our new favorite drink! we returned with friends for New Years Eve and the night could not have been more fun with singing and bag-pipes! Wish I could have enjoyed this gem more!!!! read more
