Red Haven Farm to Table Restaurant

We tried the BAKE, FRY, MASH, ROAST and SEAR. None of the plates was mind blowing to me - which I expect when I have a $140 bill for two. There was always something: FRY was an awesome flavors combination of spices and tart, but then the cauliflower was a bit burnt. Mash had DELICIOUS beets and arugula but fried cheese balls with a dissonant flavor were added - these were yummy and melted in your mouth, but i felt didn't go with the earthiness of the rest of the plate. The SEAR could have definitely gone better without the mayo-like sauces and should have exchanged the sweet potato chips for some veggies. Altogether, this restaurant charges similarly as some restaurants that were delicious and cooler looking (quick examples could be Toasted Oak and Seldom Standard). On the good side, the drinks were good - which is important in a place like this.

Red Haven is one of the better restuarants in East Lansing. The dinner menu is primarily small plates. Everything I have had at Red Haven has been excellent. Some of the food is very creative, but I enjoy that in a dining experience. The soups are amazing. Tuesday night is 1/2 price bottle of wine. The wine selection is very good. I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful. One of my favorite destinations in town.

After a trip full of disappointing restaurants, it's nice to find nice ones on my way home. Red Haven was the perfect place to stop after a long day's drive. Small enough portions to be edible and utterly delicious fare with craft cocktails that are unique and inviting. The cheese plate was my favorite of the 5 plates that my party ordered with a really scrumptious balance of flavors. The service was very good with a friendly and attentive but not overbearing waiter. We got a reservation and we're glad we did as it filled up quickly after we sat down. They appeared to have a pretty nice beer and wine selection as well although I didn't try any.

Went here as a party of 3 for MIL's birthday. The menu is "disguised": you know the ingredients of the food and the title.of the dish is how it is cooked (ex: dish named "Toss" was described as "tomatoes, watermelon, sherry" but you could infer it was a salad). All of the plates are meant for sharing, so we ordered 6. The wait staff paced them to come out 2 at a time so we had enough time to enjoy them. Everything we had was beautifully presented and delicious! Atmosphere is great, good drink selection, desserts were fantastic. None of us had drinks, but with 6 plates and a shared dessert we left for $100 ($120 with tip). This place is a must try!
