Havana has very a very unique menu, that just wasn't for me. I choose the only chicken option on the menu, and while it was good, it just wasn't one of my favorites of our trip. The owner was very nice and talked with us at our table for a few minutes. The other reviews for Havana are very good,... more

After reviewing the menu outside (and prices) my husband and I decided to eat at Havana. Upon entering at 6 pm on a Saturday evening in early September, the dining room was empty. We were asked if we had a reservation, no we didn't. The hostest consulted the computer and decided to walk us out of the main dining room,... more

To soupspoonnewyork: People unfortunately are bound to interpret things very differently - we certainly didn't intend to put you off and I remember the episode quite well - we were getting the back room ready for a large party and weren't quite set - I didn't want you to have to sit and dine while we were moving tables around...

Slightly disappointed with our choice when we visited Havana - service wasn't terribly enthusiastic, but the prices were pretty major league. My fish stew was rather one-dimensional and the lobster didn't taste as fresh as it might do. Perhaps I got them on a bad evening... more

Hands down the best restaurant in Bar Harbor. EXCELLENT food, great wine list, and fun atmosphere. The owner, Michael, came to our table and visited with us for a few minutes; talking with him made our experience even better. Our server was also outstanding. We live close to NYC, and are foodies...we both agreed that Havana is a must. more

Food was poorly prepared: I had a scallop appetizer which consisted of one (albeit enormous) scallop that was very undercooked with incorrect seasoning. Poor texture and taste. For the main course, I ordered the Halibut which was grossly overcooked which ruined it. Service was unprofessional. For example, we had drink at the bar because our table wasn't ready and took... more

Don't really know what to say here - certainly seems that we missed something, or rather several things with you and for that I apologize. Clearly anyone reading almost all of the other 100 reviews can see this experience was an unfortunate anomaly. I will say though that having the server have to ask you what drinks you had at...

I was fortunate to be dining with a local and one of the local's visiting friends and they knew the owner who stopped by our table several times to give recommendations. The restaurant is such a great foodie place, which I always enjoy. Great wine list, good cocktails made by a seasoned bartender. Food was flawless, and absolutely delicious. I... more

Havana clearly focusses on service. Everybody from greeter, bus staff, waiter and the owner/manager was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious!! This restaurant would be succesful in any city of the world. more
