The Haven: Reviews & Ratings
The Scottish eggs were really good and so was the burger. We also enjoyed their potato wedges and their homemade ketchup. However, their shepherds pie was bland and not good at all. Great service tho
I truly enjoyed the space and atmosphere- I have gone a few times now from relaxed late Brunch on Saturday to busy Wednesday evening and everything is always amazing. Of course it helps that I love Outlander and this place gives me taste of Scotland ;) Pictures from yummy brunch!
Popped in after the brewery, & the staff was more than accommodating for a party of six just grabbing drinks. Amazing menu, selection, and decor. Everyone was polite & funny, quick & pleasant (even though it was pouring out & we were definitely in the way). Happiest of accidents stumbling upon this absolute gem. One of the best stouts I have had the pleasure of drinking, and the cocktails were divine. Cannot wait to return.
Scotch eggs were perfect. There was so much meat on the Full Scotch Breakfast, that I had to order two more eggs. It was National Tartan day so I wore my Kilt.
We love coming to the Haven! I’ve been here a handful of times over the years and they’ve stayed consistently tasty! The burger, shepherds pie, and mussels are all very tasty! The ambience inside is cozy and perfect for a date night. I definitely recommend coming here if you haven’t been before
Love this place for tastings or food or events! Whatever it is is amazing. I love scotch whisky and it has the BEST selection in Boston but even our friends who aren't into whisky can find stuff they like. The food is also awesome, for my omnivore partner and myself as a vegetarian. He always gets a scotch egg and we get deep fried mars bar (pictured) and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The haggis is pictured too. Something for everyone and Jason, the owner, is a legend. He puts on great tastings and events, highly recommended.
Always great food and service here! We tried the Five Cheese pizza for the first time and it was amazing.
Tried this place as the only Scottish restaurant in the Greater Metropolitan Boston area.It did not disappoint! Excellent menu, with several of the more "exotic" specialties, plus more well known pub foods like fish 'n chips and shepherd's pie. Food was well prepared and service was excellent. The ambiance is tech, softened by plaid seat covers -- and one corner with a "fireplace", probably electric, but looks great. Space is divided into a few smaller spaces, so the noise level is tolerable. Far more high tables and stools than regular height tables. We went for lunch, but I imagine it gets hopping evenings and weekends!
