The Wine List
Haven is the third pillar of the Word of Mouth Restaurants group alongside Valenza and Arnette's Chop Shop. Set in a warm loft space with exposed brick and pecky cypress, the restaurant carries a 4.8 rating with over 3,200 reviews. The wine list shares the same curation philosophy, supporting a Southern-inflected American menu: BBQ shrimp, braised short ribs with red wine and veal jus, Green Circle Farms chicken. Craft cocktails and a full bar round out the program.
Why Reliable
Haven regularly hosts winemaker dinners, including a recent Kerr Cellars event pairing boutique Napa and Sonoma wines with a four-course seasonal menu. That signals a restaurant that takes its wine program seriously. The ownership group's track record at Valenza speaks for itself. Haven is a comfortable, consistent choice for wine with dinner on the corridor, even if the list does not reach the Italian cellar depths of its sister restaurant.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Haven is a 4.8-rated contemporary American restaurant with winemaker dinners and the same ownership group behind Valenza's deep Italian cellar. A reliable wine-and-dinner option on the corridor.
