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.

    We went to celebrate my birthday, and there was a lovely birthday card waiting for me at our table. The service and food is exceptional. A must try is the gambas - the sauce is out of this world. This time I ordered the braised short rib, which was perfectly tender. (I've also had the halibut in the past, which is also very good, if you want something lighter). For dessert, we ordered the special made with seasonal produce and spices which was sophisticated and just the right amount, but also highly recommend the chocolate cake. Our waitress was amazing, knowledgable and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

    Our second evening at the Reading Room at the Bar Harbor Inn was just as impressive as our first. The room’s energy and ambiance, attentive service, and beautifully executed dishes from a thoughtfully designed menu made for another memorable dinner. We’re returning for their final night of the season—our third visit—to try more of the menu. Two nights simply weren’t enough!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Water Street Tavern. We were warmly greeted and accommodated when we asked for a possible other table, one that we have sat at many a time and it just seemed fitting.We had the best lobster I have ever eaten and I’m in my 70’s and have had many a lobster in my day- caught that day, 2 1/4-2 1/2 pound lobster- soooo delicious. The owners came over to talk and a few other members of the staff also came by for a personal touch. They kinda know us by now, as it’s the only restaurant in Lubec we go to. All in all, I would say get there early, and enjoy every bite!!! And if you like lobster, you are in for a treat like no other! Side note: We sat next to some local celebs and that was very entertaining and engaging as well.
