Haven Craft Kitchen + Bar

From start to finish coming to Haven is always a pleasant experience! My husband and I have been loving this date night restaurant for the last year, whether it's a random Wednesday or a Friday night this place is definitely a must. We live in south Corona and the drive here is never a problem for us as we recognize the delightful cuisine that awaits us :) Food is amazing can never get over the beet salad for starters and the main course is always a tough choice as all is super delish. Julia, Greg and Tim are the best! super friendly and attentive thanks guys !. Can't rave about them enough.

My partner chose Haven Craft + Bar as the spot for our Valentine's Day date, with the main selling points being their open availability and their prix fixe menu. We've also been here once before for a brunch date, so it made for an easy and familiar choice to go here.Upon arriving at the restaurant, we noted the long line out the door, but chalked it off as not a big deal since we showed up with a reservation time. However, we soon learned they were running 15-20 minutes behind. We understood the situation and appreciated the staff's apologetic attitude. While we were willing to wait at the time, little did we know, we were not going to be seated until 45 minutes after.Once seated, the service was slow. Not only was it difficult to flag down the wait staff, but requests were often forgotten by the time they stopped by again. The restaurant was blatantly overbooked, contributing to a long night of confusion and mix-ups between staff and patrons, where dishes and drinks were delivered to the wrong tables--including ours.Roughly two hours into our reservation time, my partner and I decided to leave in the middle of the second course, and asked the staff to pack our meal and desserts. Our original reservation was at 8:45 PM and by the time we got the check, it was already a little past 11 PM.Now, let me preface this next part by saying that we admit partial fault we really should've checked the packed desserts before leaving the establishment, but we didn't. I really wasn't going to write a review and instead leave this experience behind, but this was really the last straw that sealed the deal for me: only 1 of 2 desserts were given to us. We ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Flourless Chocolate Meringue Cake, but found out we received the pudding and 2 scoops of ice cream.I have to assume the restaurant had run out of the Meringue cake, because that was the case with other items in the menu, but a heads up would've been much appreciated.Overall, the food was delicious, so it's just a shame how the experience overshadowed it. I don't place blame on anyone, especially when all the staff we had conversations with were incredibly apologetic (and understandably stressed), but this definitely left a lasting mark on both of us enough to avoid the restaurant for a while.

I dined here last night to show support for LA Fires. They donated 100% of profits to that cause, which is so kind and generous.Staff was friendly and service was decent. I had the short rib pasta, which was a 3-4 star dish. Pasta seemed slightly under cooked, but the short rib was tasty. I wasn't offered a refill on my arnold palmer, but maybe they don't do that.I respect the values of the owner and will come back to try another dish.

Haven Craft is a bustling, contemporary restaurant in the heart of Orange. The host stand had a few issues finding and crediting us for our OpenTable reservation, and the service slacked a little toward the end of our meal, but in general it's an inviting space with good food. The octopus dish was well cooked, albeit more of a tapas size than a main, and the arancini, cornbread, and desserts were all delicious.

This is a great spot we stopped in for dinner after walking around the area looking at the Christmas decorations. It was busy but the hostess sat us down within 5 minutes. The restaurant was lively and our waiter was friendly and very attentive. We ordered the lobster roll and burger. The lobster was flavorful but the sauce was a bit thick and overwhelming. My burger was okay, it was also too saucy for me. Presentations were beautifully done though. The drinks we got were an old fashioned and a whisky sour. Amazing drinks!! This was a nice place for our date night out, parking in the area is a bit tricky as it does get packed but just be patient you'll find a spot. Definitely recommend!

Friendly service, nice atmosphere and a damn fine Bloody Mary (in the words of Agent Cooper). ;). I was there with a friend for brunch and ordered the avocado hummus plate with toast. While it was delicious, it took me a while to decide on a dish. I was hoping for more variety in terms of brunch (omelettes, breakfast burritos, scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt & granola, even plain pancakes). The food is freshly prepared, I just feel like the menu is limited. For example, they offer pesto pasta and pork belly tacos on the brunch menu. I wasn't in the mood for that at 11 AM. I also wasn't in the mood for something sweet like donuts or Belgian waffles. Great experience overall, it would just be nice to have some additional basic breakfast items available.

Took a stroll down Old Towne Orange and stopped by this amazing restaurant for lunch. It wasn't too busy when we arrived and was seated immediately. We ordered the Skillet Cornbread & Pappardelle with Chicken Pesto and a Mexican Morphine drink. Everything was so deliciously tasty and mouthwatering good. Definitely one of the best restaurants we've been to. Great seasonal menu. Everything looked great. Ambiance exceeded expectations. Superb, quick, and very friendly service. Highly recommended this place!

Hi Not sure what to say but I was there last night on Sunday at 9:45 and the server said they were gonna be closing and I said do we have to leave? She said no you have 15 minutes like oh ok so we were discussing if we should have steak and then she said you can't order the steak it takes too long. We had soup beet salad and two pasta dinners the food is amazing I'll be back first time dinning I was hoping we would have a pleasant dinner. My granddaughter was here from UCLA and a friend so I was kind of embarrassed by the server because she apparently did not want to be there and serve us. I wish she let the bartender serve us, he was very friendly and helpful.

Really enjoyed this spot in Orange Circle! I ordered the pork belly tacos to Haven Craft for an early dinner. My server was super nice and recommended the dish, so I had to go with it! The dish arrived quickly during a quiet afternoon and it was so delicious! They are very filling, but don't look like it at first glance, but trust me, they were!

Nice frontage & outdoor seating area, after walking in, this upscale eatery looked perfect..We were seated immediately, from that point things soured, our waitress was not attentive, very slow coming and checking on us, the selection of beer was fine but they were out of a few..The menu was also fine, with enough offerings, however as we're ordering, we were once again told, we're out of an item & didn't have mustard or ranch dressing either..No mustard, that's a new one, not out, don't serve it..What pray tell does one put on a Hamburger, certainly mustard comes to mind..I, we were disappointed, to say the least..I want to give them another chance, I just don't know..All in all, out of some drinks & food items, service was slow..And no sign of management..I can't imagine a manager not getting wind of there problems and not walking the floor..Signed, wanted to like but I'm disappointed..
