Anchored in Chelsea's gallery quarter near the High Line, Hav & Mar welcomes diners into an uplifting, color-drenched dining room animated by Derrick Adams' mermaid murals and hand-blown glass.

Marcus Samuelsson and the culinary team celebrate maritime heritage: black rice dashi risotto, roasted sea bass in berbere brown butter, and crispy plantain waffles with house-cured gravlax.

Vibrant and celebratory; the dining room buzzes with community energy, natural wines, and warm hospitality that honors African and Nordic coastal cultures.

Hav & Mar brings cultural soul and vital representation to Chelsea's dining corridor, linking global diaspora culinary traditions with contemporary flair.
