Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

    So I take my wife here for our anniversary every year and I have for the last couple years so it’s not something I’ve done for a long time but it is something I’m gonna do from now on. The restaurant is amazing. The food is amazing. The service is amazing so, five stars across the board for that. The only thing I will say is if you go there be mindful that the tables are set really close together and we always seem to get stuck next to other people who want the whole room to hear their dinner conversation. So the one boutique I would make would be for the restaurant too. Let patrons know to keep their dinner conversation down to a minimum other than that, it’s great.

    Very good discovery in Bangor. We order Pizzas, Chicago style was amazing, and Fish and chips that my eldest son loved it. The service was great. Very good value for money in a very informal fancy American style place. Will come back.

    We traveled over five hours from Massachusetts to check out a local college and stayed overnight in Bangor. My nephew loves BWW and it was a great time to relax with him after a long day. The food was perfect and the wait staff was great. Highly recommended
