One of the most anticipated restaurants to open in Irvine this year debuts Nov. 2: Habana, at Irvine Spectrum. Anticipated in part because it seems like it's been under construction for years. The original Habana has been a mainstay of The Lab shopping center in Costa Mesa for some 20 years, offering a contemporary take on Cuban and Latin cuisine and cocktails. The new Irvine edition is a grand place, with two bars, three patios and 600 seats. There's also going to be a walk-up bakery with pastries and signature coffee blends that opens at 7 a.m. every day but Sunday.
