Last week, one of my best friends from Daytona came into town for the John Travolta & Olivia Newton John Grease Sing-a-Long in Tampa. After a late night out, we found ourselves Sunday morning with one goal - brunch and adult beverages. It's been quite a few years since Darlynn last visited Tampa and I knew exactly where to take her to Sunday Brunch -
Haven in South Tampa.
A few months ago,
Haven introduced Sunday Brunch and invited a few local influencers to check it out. As always,
Executive Chef Chad Johnson knocked the brunch menu out of the park. Where else can you eat brunch with an offering of over 60 cheeses and drink a cocktail named after Kelly Kapowski (more on that below)?

| Foie Gras French Toast |
 |
| Lobster & Avocado Causa |
Haven's Brunch menu has a wide variety of unique options. Everything from Foie Gras French Toast to Hangover Fried Rice, I promise you that anyone will find something to kick off their Sunday Funday in spirit.

| Tri Tip Steak and Eggs with Kimchi Hollandaise |
 |
| Ahi Tuna |
 |
| Loco Moco |
One of the best dishes I tried was the Loco Moco, a dry aged ground beef served over sticky rice and a sunnyside egg.
 |
| Broiled Oysters |
There's an entire section of the menu dedicated to sausage and bacon. I'm talking to you Bacon eggrolls!
I never imagined myself dining on a dish of oysters...
followed by Corned Beef & Potato Pierogies.
In terms of adult libations, this past trip, I stuck to bubbles (a glass of Ste Michelle champagne is only $6) but the quarterly drink menu was themed after Saved by the Bell!! My last visit - it was Sex and the City (Cocktails in the City). The Saved by the Brunch Cocktail menu includes all our friends - Kelly Kapowski (cucumber vodka, strawberry, fresh lemon), The Screech )Milagro Silver Tequila, Grand Marnier, Velvet Falernum, lime, prickly pear), Jessie Spano (Hendricks Gin, watermelon, lime, thyme, absinthe), A.C. Slater (Old Forester Bourbon, Averna, white peach, lemon, mint), Lisa Turtle (Champagne & white peach puree), Zack Morris (George Dickel bottled in bond 13yr, fresh pineapple, orange, coconut, lime, nutmeg).

| Bacon! |
Also worth noting, Haven was one of the first restaurants in the Tampa Bay area to be a certified Ocean Friendly restaurant!
You can find Haven in off Howard Ave: 2208 W Morrison Ave, Tampa
Thank you Haven for hosting me for Brunch. As always, all opinions are my own.
