From the OpenTable editors: Combining his Swedish upbringing and Ethiopian heritage, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson gives New Yorkers an innovative, seafood-forward fusion spot that could only come from him. The two cuisines blend beautifully in dishes like berbere-cured salmon served with apple water and avocado that earned this Chelsea hotspot two stars from the NY Times. It's all served in a vibrant space with sculptures from famed artist and restaurant partner Derrick Adams on the walls.

    We were regulars last winter and Spring and loved it- returned last eve to a much noisier experience- not “energetic” but impossibly loud. The music was way too loud and pounding and between that & the parties of drinking guests we were unable to converse without yelling. We love the food, the space, the servers, the drinks and the ambience, and it’s our neighborhood place… but if we return on a weeknight other than Thursday and find it that loud again, we will sadly have to give it up… Hoping you can lower the volume so your biggest fans can enjoy the wonderful place.

    Hi Cindy, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we truly appreciate your loyalty and are so glad you enjoy our food, drinks, and hospitality. We’re sorry the noise level impacted your evening during this visit, as we always aim for a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. You may find Sunday–Tuesday evenings quieter for a more relaxed vibe. We’ll share your feedback with our team and hope to welcome you back soon for another great visit! Sincerely, The Hav & Mar Team

    First time here and I would definitely go back. I enjoyed the hamachi tremendously, I could have eaten two servings of it...that delicious! I also had the wild mushroom curry which had tons of veggies, but I would consider it a lighter meal if you aren't that hungry. Finished the meal with pudding with coffee cake. I really liked the textures in the dessert, not a huge pudding fan but the coffee cake I could have enjoyed by itself. The old fashion drink was one of the best ones I've ever had, I wish I had another one right now.

    Tuna tartare was delicious, as was pasta with uni butter and shrimp. Delicata squash salad was meh. GOAT gyoza arrived cold, we sent them back. Poached pear was great. Service was kind but either too attentive or not enough. Room is lovely.
