We had such a good time at Haven Gastropub (www.havengastropub.com/) in March, that we had to try it again. Our second visit was just as much fun as the first. Good food, excellent service and a festive atmosphere make this an ideal luncheon destination. We also enjoy browsing in the Old Town Orange shops after lunch.
For starters, sweetie pie stayed with her Buttermilk Fried Chicken with orange-habanero BBQ sauce, and her mother remained loyal to her Beet Salad (yes-she is the Beet Salad Queen). I decided to try something new-The Roasted Spaghetti (spaghetti squash, marinara and cheese). What a surprisingly good treat; and big enough to share! Sweetie pie decided to return to the Haven Burger entree. It was so good, she was half-way through before she realized THEY FORGOT THE CHEESE! Her mother decided to try the Jumbo Prawns wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon with Cheddar Cheese Grits. Good?? Yes-very good. I decided on the Pulled Pork Sandwich with warm apple-cabbage slaw and chipotle aioli. Excellent-and I ordered extra chipotle aioli on the side for dipping my fries.They have the best french fries, seasoned house-cut skinny french fries with housemade ketchup. Once again, we were too stuffed for dessert.
Today's Haven Gastropub lunch (even sans cheese) gets three thumbs up from the 3 Tubby Tummys!
