Haven
A restaurant concept that’s a first-of-its-kind for the nation’s fourth largest city; the “green building” design, created by Collaborative Projects, paired with Chef Randy Evans’ regional Texas cuisine. Evans delights diners with a farm-to-table menu of seasonal produce, artisan cheeses and meats sourced from Texas farmers. Gulf shrimp corn dogs, homegrown tomatoes with capriella mozzarella, deviled farm eggs, Texan wild boar chili, bacon spaetzle, free range chicken, all star on a seasonal, ever-changing menu that also pays homage to Lone Star favorites such as Akaushi steaks and Junior League-style desserts. For wine, the Haven team is focusing on boutique, hard-to-find bottles from around the globe at below market prices.

"I took my wife here for her birthday. Although it was a Monday night and the ambiance wasn't what we've experienced at Haven before, our server, Natalie, was still on her "A" game. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine selection, and gave just the right amount of attention. The food was outstanding as usual, and their wine list is tough to rival. We'll be back!"

"We enjoyed a terrific experience at Haven this past Mother's Day. It was lunch for the family out on the deck. What an experience. Attentive, friendly - real - service from the moment we sat down. We had brunch specialties, all of which were made with high quality, fresh ingredients that were prepared perfectly. We will be back!! Thanks for an excellent, relaxing dining experience."

"I have dined here for lunch on several occasions, however this time my mother and I enjoyed a wonderul brunch. The cocktails were great and the food was delicious. It was not crowded so we could still hear each other speaking, while enjoying the light music in the background.
I even had plenty to take home for left overs. Definitely would recommend this place again."

"Third visit, this time for Mother's Day brunch.
Fixed price menu had plenty of choices. Snapper with shrimp seasoned well. Chocolate ice box pie is best anywhere.
Very importantly they honored our request for a quiet table off the main dining room."

"Great experience here for Mother's Day dinner. We typically wouldn't bring children, but for mother's day we did. They were so welcoming of our bunch and we were so grateful! Excellent service. Waiting times between courses can be a bit long, so enjoy your cocktails and eat slowly! Amusements platter was delish (deviled eggs, pickled beets, celery with homemade pimiento cheese). Gaspacho with lump crabmeat was refreshing but the Crawfish Beignets were absolutely divine and won our hearts. Lambchops and Fish and Shrimp were cooked so well, roasted vegetables also great. The coconut bread pudding was so creamy and delicious. We will be back."

"I would completely recommend this restaurant. For appetizers, we had a little bit of everything. the shimp & grits (I could eat those grits everyday for every meal) & the corndogs were raved about. For the main course, I had the free range chicken with the spatzle. It was absolutely heavenly. I couldn't stop eating it!! I got a side of roasted vegetables which I recommend as we'll. the dessert was by far the est part. Get the coconut bread pudding. You could even skip the meal and just get that. The pecan pie was delicious as well."

"Outdoor patio was pleasant -- does not seem 100 yards from Hwy 59. Salads are exceptional, the queen snapper w/ head-on shrimp top quality and tasty, as was the amber-jack on quinoa. even the post dinner espresso was better than I've had anywhere else I can remember.
Patrick, our server, was top-knotch.
Hope to return many times."

"Went for the Monday Blue Plate Special - red beans & rice with andouille sausage & jalapeno cornbread. The red bean portion was quite ample. Although a bit "soupy" as compared to the creamy thick NOLA style, the red beans were flavorful. The cornbread had a delicate crumb & fine buttery corn flavor. The flecks of red & green jalapeno added nice flavor & color. The disappointment was the andouille sausage - it was browned / sauteed prior to inclusion in the beans, & someone was overly zealous in the preparation - the sausage was tough, dry, & partially burnt. If Haven can correct the sausage preparation, this dish would be a winner."

"Overall it was fine. I wouldn't tell any one not to go but it is certainly not a place that I would suggest either. I had the chicken enchiladas which were actually pretty tasty and well seasoned. My friend had the fish special which came out a little dry and just so-so. I would like to go back for happy hour to try the shrimp corn dogs.
The service was great. The waiter was very attentive and I never ran out of water.
Bottom line - if you have to eat something in this neighborhood this isn't a bad choice but don't go out of your way to get here."

"I have been visiting the Houston area for the past 6 years. Haven has been the best find. Great appetizers perfect for sharing a bunch for the table. My entree of tile fish bayou stew was outstanding. The jack and coke float for dessert was very tasty but the homemade cream cheese cheesecake was beyond good. Wine list is very affordable. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. We can't wait to come back next year."

"When we arrived at 1215 for our 1230 reservation, we were first told that our table wasn't ready yet which was fine. As we sat down to wait, then we're told that they didn't have a table for us. Asked if we wanted to sit in the bar area either at the bar on the high stools or squeeze us into the corner. We were surrounded by two large groups of men on both sides of us. Hard to hear with the noise of the surrounding conversation. We did have a waiter who was extremely kind and worked so hard to accommodate us. Took almost 30 minutes to get our food- not sure about the hold up in the kitchen."

"This was my first visit to haven having had it on my list to try for a long time and it did not disappoint. My dining companion and I had the shrimp corn dogs and heirloom tomoato sundae to start. The "ice cream" on the tomato salad was so refreshing with the delicious fresh tomatoes. We then shared the family style fried chicken dinner which was amazing. Loved the gravy, cheddar grits, friedn green tomato croutons and crispy brussels sprouts on the side (although the sprouts were not as expected, but still yummy). Great cocktails and wine selection. And, the patio is a great option given its space and lovely waterfall. Will definitely be back for lunch to try the chicken fried steak I saw on the menu here but is only for lunch!"

"Great time. Great food. Waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly but was incredibly slow. Been there twice and enjoyed it. But the waiter left us alone for an extended time (both visits) before taking our order. Perhaps that's your style and my father would love the slow relaxed pace. I, however would prefer more prompt service."

"I've been to Have twice before and thought it would be a lovely brunch spot for Easter Sunday. However, we found the menu unimaginative, the food rather bland and over-cooked and the selections terribly over-priced. The waiter spoke so loudly it was unsettling and non of the wait staff seem to smile much. Sitting on the patio was the best part! Sadly, I have no desire to return to Haven or recommend it. Another one bites the dust! :-("

"The torn salad was outstanding. My friend had the local caught fish - Grouper - which was better than my good pork chops. Our waiter had a large party and was also serving people on the patio so our service was VERY slow. Once we ordered, the food was at our table very fast but we had a hard time finding him often. He was very nice and apologized for the situation. This is not the first time I have had bad service at Haven. Overall, I love the place and hope they continue to do very well."

"Eating at Haven with Randy Evans at the head of the kitchen is what it's like to never, ever worry about anything. The menu is interesting, but it's just as interesting to let the chef choose for you and delight you with something you might not have otherwise eaten. The table service is superb, intelligent, and well-timed. No one ever interrupts a conversation to ask you if you're doing alright, and yet, glasses never get empty and finished dishes don't linger.
But the real point is this: everyone I saw -- from Randy down to the bus-staff -- seemed totally relaxed and happy to be there. You can taste that vibe in the food, you feel it in the atmosphere, and it ends up affecting you, and you'll leave happier & more at ease than you arrive"

"Wondedrful evening at Haven last evening. Greg, our server, was informative, congenial and look forward to his suggestions next time. He suggested Beignet appetizer (yummy) a great fish dish and the pound cake for dessert ended the evening with the taste of chantilly cream and curd lingering. We will be back for sure!"

"Third time to Haven, but first time to order off the menu. Prior visits were for set meals. Fresh ingredients, nice presentations, and very tasty. Haven can be noisy, but we went on a Tuesday night and it was nice and quiet. Also has large outdoor seating area."

"This past weekend was the first time my husband and I visited Haven, and we will definitely go back. The food was simply fabulous - fresh, perfectly prepared, and the right portions. I had no trouble finding several delicious choices, despite being on a low carb diet. Our service was just right - attentive without pestering us. My only criticism is how close the tables for two are to each other. I do not like sitting so close to another couple that I can hear their conversation, particularly when the restaurant is somewhat noisy anyway. Next time, we will either sit outside (too cool for that this time) or request a more remote table. The restaurant itself is lovely, albeit completely buried off the 59 feeder. :)"

"Four of us went to celebrate my wife's birthday and had a wonderful time. Unhurried on a Saturday night--got the table half an hour before our reservation, stayed for three hours, no one tried to rush us out. Very expensive so be prepared to spend some money. Shrimp corn dogs were the best thing we tried. Rest of the food was pretty unremarkable considering the price. Service was spotty, very attentive at times, scarce at others. Final word for me, it was enjoyable for a special occasion with close friends."

"This was my first time at Haven. Overall it was quite good. I had the Bayou stew and Deviled eggs. The stew was excellent. The eggs were okay, but not particularly flavorful. I shared the pound cake for dessert, which was very good."
