    I have not been to Haven in so long and am so glad we decided to make reservations here for my daughter’s after graduation brunch. First of all, I had to call twice to make adjustments to our reservation and both times they were so nice on the phone. (Seriously, this is so appreciated as this is usually not the case with the person who is handling reservations at other restaurants) We felt welcome the moment we walked in and our waiter (Patterson) was so nice and friendly and overall a great waiter! The food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We will definitely be back!
