Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

    Natalie’s is an exquisite experience. It is a favorite special occasion restaurant for us because it is always a special experience. Every detail is attended to without being stuffy or pretentious. The owners and the staff love Natalie’s and Maine. We’ve come to Natalie’s for 6 years and have never been disappointed. We celebrated our anniversary last night and were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine and congratulations. The food was outstanding!! There are small bites for appetizers and dessert which were exactly what the meal called for. Highly recommend!
