Havana Bar -Food CA (Near Arcata)

Carl Foisy We popped in for a quick bite to eat and headed to the bar. The bar area was packed while the dining room had some areas sit and eat. We chose to sit in the dining room. Instead of ordering individual entrées, we decided to order a handful of appetizers inside dishes to share. Our dining liaison was very accommodating and nice, with a couple of fun quickwitted jokes. Super nice guy. The hostess was also very friendly and accommodating. Lots of seafood on the menu, we enjoyed some smoked trout, cured salmon, octopus, and a couple vegetable sides. All very tasty.

Debbie Sterk Never disappoints! Fabulous food and service. My husband had the clams and I had fish tacos, delicious. James our waiter was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this wonderful venue.

A & B Life Adventures My wife and I went to Larsen’s Grill located in Oxnard at the Collection to celebrate a special occasion. Larsen’s Grill was a fantastic experience and one of the best tasting food we have ever had in Ventura County. The staff is extremely nice and attentive. The signature drinks are a hit, they were delicious and perfectly prepared. A friend recommended the steaks from Larsen’s so we had to try them. I got the dry aged ribeye steak with the blue cheese steak topper and mushrooms with mac & cheese as a side. My wife got the wet aged New York Steak with Brussels sprouts as her side. The steaks were of excellent quality and tasted fantastic. The salads were also delicious, I recommend the wedge side salad and it was topped with the best tasting bacon. The restaurant has a great bar area with a live piano player. Overall the restaurant had a great vibe and the food was incredible. If you want to have an excellent dinning experience, I would highly recommend Larsen’s Grill in Oxnard at the Collection.

CANDELA MONGE We had an excellent dinner during the last night of our honeymoon. The service was perfect and did everything to make the night even more special. The food was delicious and surprising, every bite was an experience and we had lots of fun. Thank you for the great time! The sardin chips and porcini donuts were delicious and very creative! The toro toas was my favourite and the burrata was also very fun! We had the sea oursin pasta that was very good as well but couldn’t really feel the sea oursin flavour. The wine recommendations were also great. For desert we had the panna cotta that was very rich and yummy!

Viktoriya Finkbeiner This was such an amazing experience! We came to celebrate a birthday here and were impressed by the quiet and romantic atmosphere with gorgeous views! Exceptional service, almost too quick! The food though was the best and left us craving more. The rolls are great size and the fish was so fresh, it was melting in your mouth. Highly recommend this place!

KG This is my second time visiting this adorable restaurant and honestly, I love it even more now. The courtyard is sooo cute! The vines, the greenery, the fountain , it’s a whole mood! It feels like a tucked-away garden you never want to leave. We came for lunch before wine tasting and had such a lovely experience. Kennedy was our server and she was great, warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. I ordered their Kale Caesar salad and it was not your typical Caesar but in the best way. It had raisins, red onion, crushed pistachios and the dressing had these subtle mustard seeds that gave it this bright, slightly tangy pop. It’s their unique take on a Caesar and I’m officially obsessed. I’m definitely going to try to replicate this at home! My boyfriend ordered the soup and sandwich, and once I tried a spoonful of the soup, I instantly ordered a cup of my own. It was the corn and shishito pepper soup, velvety, a little smoky, and had just the right kick without being overly spicy. So, so good! Their menu changes seasonally, and since they are a true farm-to-table restaurant, the best way to see what’s currently offered is to check their website. If you’re looking for a perfect lunch spot in Paso, especially before wine tasting, definitely give them a visit. It’s charming, delicious, and just feels good to be there.
