• Latin American • Bar Harbor
Booked 12 times today
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.

    Well, y’all, the Reading Room sure knows how to treat folks right! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with fresh oysters, a bottle of wine, filet mignon with lobster tail for me, and the Easy Lobster for her. Everything was absolutely phenomenal! The staff went above and beyond, especially the hostess and a woman named Brie who checked on us throughout dinner. They even surprised us with an anniversary card! True Southern hospitality all the way up in Maine! And that blueberry pie? Hands down the best I’ve had in all my travels! Worth every penny and then some!
