Phenomenal! The palm cakes? Amazing. The NY strip, fantastic. The cocktails are the bee’s knee’s (no seriously, the bee’s knee’s is a wonderful drink, I ended up having two, and then an espresso martini for dessert!) Speaking of dessert, make sure to bring someone to share with because it’s a lot. Small menu means that what they do, they do to perfection. I will remember that night out for the rest of my life. Phenomenal, phenomenal job Chef Corbin, and your waitstaff was just top notch, what a crew!

A perfect night out. Emily was a charming and efficient waitress. The food was outstanding. The mussel appetizer should not be missed. My trout was perfectly cooked with a scrumptious creamy risotto. The vegetables were Al dente. My husband had a pasta special that he really enjoyed. Don’t leave without trying at least one of the desserts.

We had a great time at Peter Havens. The food was tasty and the service was really friendly. One tiny thing was that our fish was overcooked but overall still very tasty.

Phenomenal meal and service! I had mussels as an appetizer followed by a sea bass special which was excellent. Hubby had the tuna tartare followed by the strip steak. Food was beautifully prepared and presented. Our server was Emily and she was charming, professional and efficient. Can’t wait to go back.

We loved it! The service was so amazing, and the patio was such a nice place to spend the evening. Even though one of the steaks we ordered was overdone, the staff was quick to remake it. The second one was perfect. The scallops were beautifully cooked, and all the apps were delicious!! I loved the broccoli rabe, it was so tender.

Nice dining area, small space and what appears to be limited tables but we made a reservation. Good menu choices, highly recommended the warm apple tart for dessert. Steak tips were delicious, swordfish and the veal too. Veggies were really tasty and the potatoes too.

Been going to Peter Havens for over 13 years back when Tom was the amazing owner/host. Then the great Maggie & Brian years with Chef Zach. Still a wonderful place for any evening or special event. Great bar, menu and service.
