If I had to describe havana I would say that it’s just WOW. We were blown away by the food. I had roasted scallops, followed by a sword fish a first for me. I have to admit that it was the best meal I’ve had for a long time. The service is friendly but professional. The ambience only added to a great evening. Well done.....

I took my partner to Havana as a birthday treat, and we were both very impressed. The quality of service second to none.

The Staff are friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. The food was just great and beautifully presented.

The Jazz band that were playing only added to our great dining experience. Would defiantly recommend if looking for a special night out.

Just a great place to visit if you are a foodie enthusiast and appreciate good service. We simply love it. The place itself is a great looker and would agree very pleasing to the eye.

Have been here many times and have never had a bad experience. We are always amazed with the level of consistency Havana offers. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable and you can tell they have a passion for what they do. The food served is of the highest quality, and beautifully presented. The place simply just has the wow factor and ooozes class.

Oh, where to start with this review.

What a terribly pretentious, overpriced, dull, mediocre and awful place to spend time.

No doubt a fantastic 'little find' for the weekend warriors and wannabe WAGs heading down for the weekend but overall this restaurant fails to deliver on every level.

Cocktails are not mixed properly, they're not even served in correct glasses (but damn they know how to charge), the staff are arrogant and obviously more important than their guests (all have been trained to not make eye contact. the food is so overpriced when considering the quality (and quantity).

Our food was ponderously slow in arriving at the table. When it did finally emerge much to the embarrassment of the waiter, the huge plates were wholly unrepresentative of postage stamp size 'meal' placed upon it. In desperation to find sustenance I asked the waiter (after attempting to attract the attention of said man for ages) for some bread. I was duly brought the bread basket and told that i may choose one slice of bread. For this pleasure i was charged............for one slice of bread, i mean.... honestly! I struggle to remember the exact price of the 'one' slice but it was something like £3 something. To be fair it was nice, far nicer than the ‘meal’ in fact.

To summarise, the cocktails were a wash out, our wine (although delicious) was overpriced (about £45 for a late Argentina Malebc), the food was terrible and the service was lacklustre, the decor is terrible although the long clonking walk up the stairs to the toilets allows the customer to survey the scene of all the other disgruntled dinners below. The gaggle of smokers crammed outside both sides of the establishment ensure that each and every customer can enjoy a lungful of second hand smoke (the only complimentary thing in this place) upon entering and leaving.... how considerate.

Certainly not a place to go if you’re hungry or if you actually want something that resembles food. However, a great place to go if you're on a date, don’t want to eat and want to flash your cash in some poncy surrounds.

Give it a miss; take a wander to the front have a good unpretentious fish supper and a pint instead.

As much as the restaurant is great to looker and visually pleasing to the eye, it's the level of service and the staffs understanding of food/wine which really appealed to us .

Every time I went here i have never been disappointed. The dishes that they serve are of very high quality and always consistent.,its so obvious to see why this is. Its because, you just have to look at food they present. and you begin to realise that a lot of thought/passion and lover for cooking has gone into creating

Great day out if you enjoy wine/food

On Tuesday 25th Aug I was with a party of 45. We had pre booked and forwarded our choices from the menu some 2 weeks previous. On arrival it felt as though we had arrived on the wrong night, the welcome was poor. Coupled to this the food was delayed by a considerable time - some 45mins. The food when it finally arrived was mediocure, service was slow and the attitude of many of the staff poor. Despite all the problems the restaurant attempted to include a service charge on the bill, which of course we refused to pay. Customer service very poor. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody!
