“ Came here solo for a glass of natural wine prior to a comedy show. Vibrant vibe inside with fresh flowers, candles, wine & a chandelier. Quick host & kind service! ”
“ This is such a cozy, romantic spot that transports you to Europe. The service is great, we were able to try a few different wines and the staff gave a background on each one - almost like a wine tasting! The charcuterie board lives rent free in my mind, the bread was delicious. We shared a few pastas and desserts, and we enjoyed them all. This is definitely somewhere I’d return to for a special occasion or a date night. (Dined here in October 2021) ”
“ I almost didn’t want to write this review because I would like to gatekeep how wonderful they are and fear that this will become a restaurant that flocks of people run to. I went here this past Saturday night for a large group dinner and the Have & Meyer staff really went above and beyond. From the moment we walked in the door, we were blown away. From the ambiance, the setup, the decor, the food, the service, the delicious cocktails and homemade food... I have no words. It was such a lovely evening. They really really went above and beyond and it has to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in nyc AND with such a large group. Thank you Have & Meyer Team!! There was also a live jazz band that really just put the evening at max ”

“ First time dining here. Quaint little space with soft lighting and music. The food was delicious and the drinks were well made. Very good service with knowledgeable explanations of the wines available. If you love wine, there's an extensive wine collection on site. Great place for a romantic date. ”
“ Amazing experience. The carbonara was incredible...Tried the “La Matta” mystery drink and it was the best decision of my week. Our server mentioned it’s seasonal and it’s free if you pick a “joker” from a deck of cards they offer you. Idk what our servers name was but he was incredibly nice and welcoming. Incredible experience all around. 5 stars! ”
“ Have & Meyer is such a cute, cozy spot perfect for a birthday dinner or just a chill night out. A few friends had a celebration there recently and couldn’t stop talking about how good the pasta was and how great the vibe felt. The wine selection looked amazing too. Definitely feels like one of those places you just know you’re gonna love. The library wine cellar is extremely beautiful and they have someone that helps decorate. You can also have live music! I hope to one day have my birthday dinner here. Because it’s just a perfect spot. Great pasta & cute ambiance. ”
“ Small cozy restaurant with amazing wine list and food. Portion sizes are large. I love their decor and theme. They have outdoor seating with heating and blankets for everyone. The space is a bit tight but it’s manageable. The servers are very helpful and they helped me sample a few wines before I picked one. Dessert is point on and perfect. They do have a decent cocktail list, but I would prefer their wines. Also, try to reserve a seat inside. It’s a pretty setting. This place did get crowded by 8pm. ”
