No Lunch/Dinner Plans?
Haven Gastropub in Orange is doing a Haiti fundraiser today -
100% of the profit from today's sales go toward Haiti. Also the servers will be donating their time & tips.

I've been dying to check this place out for a while now, so I'm going to try to go tonight. 
Re: No Lunch/Dinner Plans?
I've been there once...it was yum.
Let me know how it is if you go...I feel like it's going to be packed!
Definitely, YL.
Any recommendations?
Oh I love, LOVE, this place!!! I've been 2 or 3 times and each time it's so good. I love the cool vibe from here, and the service is great. I went with a couple of my friends, and we shared everything. I wanted to taste it all.
I'm not a big beer drinker, but they have plenty of beer to choose from. I did get an Organic Strawberry cider (it was a huge 40 bottle)...totally cool and it was pretty tasty!
Apps - Pommes Frites w/homemade ketchup - So good, you can't stop eating them.
Chorizo Picante flatbread - AMAZING. It's a meal in itself.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken - Sooo good with the orange-habernero sauce, you don't taste the spice but keep licking your fingers because it's soooo good.
Meals - My #1 fave is Pulled pork sliders - sooo tender, and the pickled cabbage on top is perfect
Braised Short Rib - tender, juicy and perfect. The garlic-carrot puree is wonderful.
I LOVE...LOVVVVVVVEE, the Crisp Braised Pork belly . If you love bacon like Wan, this is your dish.
Haven Hanger Steak - delicous, l love the combo of chocolate and spice. It's a little kick that you're looking for.
Mac & Cheese - it's creamy and delicous. My bootay says yes to this.
DESSERT - Brioche Bread pudding - It's out of this world!!!! Perfect and the best way to end the meal there.
I've been wanting to go back again and have the Candied Bacon Ice Cream ontop of a chocolate brownie.
Yeah, those are better recs than I could have given you.
They have lots of yummy beer. I got a beer flight, told them what I liked and they selected the beers for me. So yum.
