| - This was my first dining experience at Habitat. I had never actually hard of it, but based on Yelp reviews, and the quick online glance at the menu, we decided to go. We arrived at about 9:50 p.m. after finding out the restaurant closed at 10:30 p.m. There is always a risk when arriving so close to closing time that both service and quality will be lacking. Not the case at all. Service was terrific~attentive, informed about dishes and ingredients, and friendly. Atmosphere is slightly upscale, but not pretentious in the least. I felt completely comfortable in a tank top and simple, flowy skirt and my boyfriend in shorts and t shirt. The food was phenomonal! Many vegetarian options as well as seafood, red meat, and poultry. There are also enough options for a gluten-free meal, a vegan meal, a macrobiotic meal, a diabetic meal, a heart healthy meal.....and these combinations were easily accessible on the last page of the menu. Kitchen is completely open and there is a female chef (which won Habitat extra kudos in my book). Most ingredients are locally sourced and/or received from cage-free, grass fed, kind animal husbandry farming practices. It is on the expensive side (only water to drink and 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a bowl of miso soup brought the bill to approximately $120). On this night, there was a live jazz band playing downstairs on first floor of hotel, and the music was a nice touch while eating. The dessert menu looked good enough to eat...but after such perfect portions, we were too full to indulge. That's why we are going back tomorrow :).
