Английская Википедия:Havana (restaurant)
Havana is a restaurant in downtown Bar Harbor, Maine, United States.[1][2] Established in 1997 by Michael Boland[3] and his wife Deirdre Swords,[4] the restaurant has received several awards, most notably for its wine list, which has achieved Wine SpectatorШаблон:'s Award for Excellence[4] every year since 2004.[5][6] A Cubano-influenced restaurant,[7] it has an attached outdoor bar, the Havana Parrilla Tapas Bar and Grill,[8] converted from a garage in 2003.[4]
Sitting United States president Barack Obama dined at the restaurant on July 17, 2010,[3] during his family's vacation on Mount Desert Island.[9] The president had paella and the first lady, Michelle Obama, had lobster thermidor.[3][10] It was the first presidential visit to the island since that of Howard Taft exactly a century earlier.[11]
Head bartender Mark "Duffy" Dyer worked at the restaurant between 1997 and 2023.[4][12]
Boland and Swords opened a sister restaurant, named Havana South, in Portland, Maine, in 2010, but it closed shortly thereafter.[13]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Esquire included Havana in its list of "100 restaurants America can't afford to lose".[14]
