We truly enjoyed our dinner at Havana when we visited in Dec 2025. Enrique was our server and was warm and hospitable. He gave us some insight into several options on the menu and lived everything we got. The mushroom spring rolls are a must order item for us when we go and as usual, they did not disappoint. We also enjoyed the white bean soup and tostada with brisket. For our entries we got the lamb shank, paella, and ribeye and enjoyed it all. We had a nice chat with the owner, Michael, who stopped by our table. Havana is a fine dining spot in Bar Harbor that should not be missed if you’re in town!

We had an amazing dinner at Havana in Bar Harbor!
Our waiter, Harley, was awesome and so much fun — he made the evening extra special with his energy and great recommendations. The service was top-notch from start to finish.
I had the lobster, which was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious, while Kathy enjoyed the halibut, which was fresh and flavorful. Both dishes were spectacular and beautifully presented.
If you’re in Bar Harbor and looking for an unforgettable dining experience with incredible food and exceptional service, Havana is a must-visit!

We celebrated our 33rd anniversary at Havana last night, and it was outstanding from start to finish. Our server, Enrique, was warm, engaging, and made the evening feel truly special.
We started with the Butternut Bisque and Sopa de Frijoles—both flavorful and comforting, the perfect way to begin. From there, we shared small plates instead of entrées, which we love to do. The Beets & Squash and the Tostada were our absolute favorites—each dish beautifully balanced and full of creative flavor. The Chicharone brought that perfect crispy richness, and the Mejillones (Maine mussels with smoked pork belly, chèvre, and leeks in a lemongrass cream sauce) were decadent and delicious.
We paired everything with two cocktails—the Havana Martini and the Periodista—both bright, balanced, and refreshing.
Every dish felt thoughtful and full of care. Between the food, the atmosphere, and Enrique’s exceptional service, Havana made our anniversary unforgettable.

I came here one night after a long day of hiking. They have a very attractive menu that fuses Central/South American dishes with a little bit of local cusine. I’d order anything on that menu, but I went with the seafood paella. The quality of the seafood alone made it a good dish. Otherwise, flavors were pretty good, but could have been bolder for Latin American cuisine. I’d rate the dish 7/10. I would have definitely had an app and/or soup if my apppetite was bigger that night. The bread service was okay. Blueberry cornbread and Italian bread w/ black bean hummus were interesting twists, but the cornbread was a little dry. The restaurant vibe is suitable for a date night or nicer-dressed evening on a trip.
The primary reason I’m docking stars was for the service. I sat for 15 minutes before a server came to my table, while all the tables around me (including those who were sat after me) were waited on promptly, had drinks, and even ordered entrees before anybody came to me. I had to go ask the hostess to be waited on, and even after that, I kind of felt like I was treated like a 2nd-class citizen.. little attention or effort. For that reason alone, I’d probably go elsewhere next time, but food and atmosphere get a B grade.

Our absolute favorite meal on our trip. I will literally be thinking about the tostada for the rest of my life— SO good. The lobster was so fresh and the steak was amazing. The staff was very kind and attentive. Yes, it’s pricey, but to us it was worth every single penny!!

The service was great here and the food was ok. Food did not meet my expectations. But perhaps I am from a big city where there are lots of good restaurants and we were not impressed with any restaurant we went to in Maine during our 5 day trip. I had the seafood paella. It had lots of seafood which was good but slightly dry and I have had tastier. The food was visually appealing. I am sure there are plenty who would have loved this dish. Mom had the lobster moqueca which she said the sauce was good but there was hardly any lobster. I think the lobster moqueca was the better of the 2 dishes. Overall service was great but the building and the furniture rustic, like most places in Maine.

Best meal we’ve had in a very long time. We were sat immediately around 5:30 without a reservation and welcomed promptly by our waiter. The cucumber bite and bread with dips set the tone for the meal and then the ceviche and tostado app turned it up a notch. The seafood paellas were the crown on top of the experience. It was packed with seafood and so delicious. Not sure how we finished everything but every bite was phenomenal. Will absolutely be returning to Havana! Definitely stop by if you’re in the area!

This was our first time having dinner at Havana. It was DELICIOUS! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the restaurant had a card at our table signed by the staff. It truly made us feel special. One of the best restaurants in Bar Harbor!

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary here and it was amazing. The food and service was exceptional! I had the Pollo chicken dinner and my fiancé had the lamb shank. We were too full for dessert but they honored us with a celebratory plate of two truffle chocolates ❤️

We had such a wonderful evening at Havana in Bar Harbor waited in by Molly and her staff! From the moment we walked in, the service stood out—warm, attentive, and thoughtful. A highlight was when the busboy kindly wished my mom a happy birthday—it was such a simple gesture, but it made the night feel extra special.
For dinner, we ordered the Lobster Moqueca and the Filet Mignon. The Lobster Moqueca was perfection—lobster simmered in a coconut broth with haddock, peppers, and onions, served over jasmine rice with grilled pineapple. The Filet Mignon was equally memorable, tender and flavorful with creative touches that elevated the dish. Even the soup to start was a delicious surprise.
Street parking nearby was mostly easy.
Highly recommend Havana for anyone looking for excellent service, standout dishes, and a dining experience that feels both elevated and personal.
