Haven Kitchen & Bar

The last time I was at Haven was a little over 3 years ago... And that is only because this place is literally never open. We come to Lopez so often and constantly look to see if it's open and it never is- although yesterday they had a sign up that said "closed for private event" and there were 8 people on the patio. It's such a bummer because they have such a great view! From what i remember the food was alright but it remains a mystery how they stay in business

Poor experience. We had a reservation here (you had to put a deposit down for each person in order to make a reservation) directly after my engagement and when we arrived nothing was ready. We had to wait awhile for the table and even once that was ready there was no champagne waiting for us as my fiancé had requested since this was supposed to be the celebration. After ordering the food it took a very long time to come out and the chicken was dry. Once they brought our food they did not come back to check on us for a very long time. We completed our meal, paid and were leaving when they stopped us on the way out and let us know they had forgotten to charge us for more items so we had to wait while they re did our bill. Overall a bad experience for a dinner that was supposed to complete one of the most special nights of our lives. I would not recommend.

We had the most incredible meal from Haven during our short trip to Lopez! They're currently open for takeout only on select days. Order early! We ordered around 4:30 or so and weren't able to pick up until around 7:45ish. This place is definitely worth giving some extra forethought to! In non-covid times, it looks like they have incredible views from their dining room, which we hope to enjoy sometime in the future. Instead, we took our food to the park across the street so we could eat and watch the sunset. We got the Gamboni Linguine and The Mushroom pizza to share. Both were incredible and loaded with flavor! We were in culinary heaven. To drink, I got the spicy mezcalita (I've been loving a spicy marg lately and this one did not disappoint) and my husband got the maple rosemary bourbon sour, which he also enjoyed. We ate and drank every last bite/sip despite how full we were because of how ridiculously delicious it was. Yum! I love that Lopez is home to this gem. We can't wait to come back one day.

Friends brought us here for dinner during our trip out to Lopez. Reservations appear necessary, at least for a busy summer weekend. The restaurant is right on the water with unobstructed views, so a great spot to take in the sunset. We opted for a patio seat and were sheltered enough that we didn't feel cold after the sun went down. That and maybe the drinks helped a bit... Spicy mezcalita was top notch and really packed some heat. J. and I shared the spicy fried cauliflower wings (absolutely delicious), the beet and goat cheese salad (comprised mainly of mixed greens, we found it sorely lacking in both its namesakes), and the Goat pizza (white sauce, mozzarella, pecorino romano, parmesan, roasted garlic and shallots, artichoke hearts, caramelized onions, kalamata olives, goat cheese -- absolutely delicious thin crust pizza). Service was fine. We'd definitely come back here.

So glad we made the reservations to get a seat at Haven. The setting is really nice on the west side of Lopez looking across San Juan Channel. We had the Burrata appetizer followed by salads and our entre's of the Pasta Bolognese and the Gamberoni Linguine were very tasty. Everything was wonderful, even on an evening where every table was full their service was still attentive.

I made our reservation on-line and it was easy. Hub and I got there 10 minutes before 7 so we can take pictures of the view. It is right next to the water where you can witness the sunset.We were kindly seated by a window. That was thoughtful. I like that.Hub ordered the Bloody Mary and I ordered a glass of a Rose' The menus is pretty simple-- 4 course meal if you like that but we chose to have just the two for each. We couldn't eat that much for dinner.He ordered the wedge salad and I had the mushrooms with toasts. Then I chose the linguine with prawns smothered with cheese and wine and so on while he opted for the extravagant lamb dish. All were delicious and satisfying. They also gave us some complimentary bread right just before our dinner came. It was nice but again, we couldn't finish all. The whole experience was enjoyable and I recommend if and when you visit the Lopez island. Another good memory in my book.

Superb hospitality and service.Not to mention superb quality and quantities of fresh ingredients for a very fine dining experience.And of course, the coastal views are quite nice, especially during sunsets.

Incredible party last night hosted by Haven for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary! Mariah and JK put together a truly memorable menu - especially the panko-crusted miso ginger halibut which was so delicious. Ooh and the oysters to start? And the dark chocolate gateau - oof so delicious. Also the cocktails! I loved my spicy mezcalita but if I had known how tasty the arugula martinis were! I might have made a different choice! Kudos to the Haven team for making this night so very special.

I am having a hard time writing this review, because although the food was great and the wait staff did OK, we were treated so poorly by the hostess the night was a disappointment.We had reservations for two outside and were led to our table that was in a weird corner and was in the direct sun. My wife asked if it was possible to sit at another seat that was in the shade. The hostess said yes, but told us (with tone) that we would have to wait which we were fine with. We returned to the front where we waited and were seated at a table under an umbrella that did not work so we sat at the other table that didn't have some shade.Now for the good stuff:What an amazing view!The Beet & Goat Cheese salad which was excellent. It was mostly mixed greens with diced beets & goat cheese. The baja fish tacos were delicious, with lightly battered cod. I was only sad that I hadn't noticed the option to add-on chips & salsa and the black beans came in a separate bowl that looked and tasted like they had been plated earlier in the day.The cedar plank salmon was good, a little over done. The salmon had a great smokey flavor from the cedar plank!For next time I would get a reservation for the inside seating and it probably would have been an amazing night.

I ate here twice while on Lopez Island for our honeymoon. There really aren't many restaurants on Lopez Island. Finding a vegetarian friendly restaurant is even more difficult. The marge pizza is great and the cauliflower wings were really special. I found the service to be really good both days, even though they seemed like they were short staffed. The restaurant is beautiful. Make a reservation far in advance and get a table and watch the sunset. They have a nice beer and wine list.
