About Hav & Mar

Hav & Mar is a vibrant seafood house from Chef Marcus Samuelsson, located at 245 11th Avenue in Chelsea, one of New York's most active arts districts. The restaurant is led day to day by Executive Chef Fariyal Abdullahi working alongside Samuelsson, and the kitchen builds its menu around thoughtfully sourced seafood and seasonal greenmarket produce, giving the food an energetic, globally inspired point of view rather than a single regional identity. The dining room and bar mix contemporary and classical design elements, and the space is anchored by original artwork from celebrated artist Derrick Adams, which gives the restaurant a distinct visual identity tied to the neighborhood's gallery culture. Beyond the plate, Hav & Mar puts real weight behind its wine list, which is built to spotlight BIPOC and female producers, a choice that extends the restaurant's point of view on representation from the kitchen and the walls to the bottle list as well. The restaurant is open seven days a week and offers happy hour, delivery, and private dining, positioning it as both a destination spot and a flexible neighborhood option depending on the occasion. That combination of ambition and accessibility, two-star New York Times recognition alongside everyday happy hour service, reflects Samuelsson's broader approach to restaurants: serious cooking presented with warmth rather than formality. Samuelsson himself is one of the most prominent Black chefs and restaurateurs in the country, best known for Red Rooster in Harlem, and Hav & Mar extends that same commitment to inclusive, globally minded hospitality into a seafood-focused concept in Chelsea.
