Outstanding. Great environment, excellent food, and the servers were so attentive!! If you're looking for a special place to splurge, its a great place. It has a wonderful ambiance . The best one is passionfruit cheesecake topped with icecream drizzled with passionfruit sauce. This is a wonderful place to hang out with friends and family members. All of their food is great! Highly recommend this place!…
Great place for a date or to impress your friends. Love the restaurant. Bar workers are super friends, and I love the ambiance all around. Tucked behind the Lab "Anti-Mall" so you can image the scene here is pretty trendi, but the restaurant itself is unassuming and a great experience.…
Great mojitos. Habana is a fun place to go to. The ambiance is great as well as decor inside. The food is great and their mojitos are tasty.
Very Bad Management - Bordering on being the worst! Very bad Service!. After arriving at Habana's restaurant in Costa Mesa me and a friend ordered some drinks. I paid for my drink with my credit card. I never got my credit card back from the bartender. After a couple of hours we were leaving and I noticed I didn't have my card. I asked and the bartender said she had given it back to me. Immediately I canceled my card. The restaurant tried to blame me and my friend for the mishap and made it seem like we were trying to eat and run. We paid with another card and left. Three days later I found that there were charges from Habana?s restaurant on my account. I went to my bank and got all the info required to show fraud. I went to the manager, Jeff, and informed him of what had happened. After waiting about 30 min for him, he came back and said he cannot do anything to help. He didn?t take responsibility for the mishap and he didn?t even apologize. Instead he escorted me out of the restaurant like I was a criminal. I will never go back to this restaurant and I will be forwarding this to the general manager of the restaurant.…
Happy Taste Buds. Habana is one of my favorite restaurants. They have some of the most amazing appetizers, such as the crab cakes, the calamari, crawfish, ahi tuna on plantains, and the fried avocado is interesting. Their dinner entrees are pretty amazing across the board, and i love the seared ahi tuna that comes with mashed potatoes and little fried onions...yummy. The only entree that i have not particularly liked was the Paella. The chicken was REALLY rubbery and dry. But other than that this place is 5 stars accross the board. In regards to their lunch menu, i was impressed. The portions are a little smaller, which is perfect for me, and the prices are a little lower. My cousin and i split the spinach salad with shrimp (excellent), and the plantain crusted chicken sandwich (too good for words). The chicken sandwich comes with really good fries and coleslaw. Another plus for many is that there is outside seating which allows smoking cigarettes, and even cigars (at certain times of the day). This is probably the best chill, hip restaurant in all of O.C. Oh and the drinks are strong too...............i love the sparkling red wine and the sangria is good too (but really strong). You will not be dissapointed.…
