  • I suppose it's fitting to pick Habitat for my 100th Yelp review, as--much like the amount of time I spend on the internet--it's an impressive accomplishment, while in many ways still a work in progress. I've been here thrice now, for a lunch, a dinner, and a holiday, and each time I've been quite happy with the experience. The space is wonderful--classy and refined without being busy or pretentious--and no matter how crowded it gets, you never feel cramped. The service has always been top-notch as well--polite, attentive and helpful. Even little details (like the frog-shaped water pitchers designed just for the restaurant by some local artist). Of course, the most important part of any meal is the food, and they do it quite well here. The kitchen works together to pursue a clear vision of locally sourced yet globally inspired cuisine. But while some dishes are perfect (and true delights), not every item I've sampled has met the standard I'd expect. A perfect balance of flavors, colors, ingredients, accents and even artistry is no easy trick, and unfortunately the execution doesn't always measure up to the idea. Still, I always enjoy the experience, because even in the less successful dishes, there's a glimmer of potential and creativity that isn't easy to find in Pittsburgh (or for that matter a hotel restaurant). In my personal experience, the poultry is wonderful (I've enjoyed chicken, duck and turkey); the risottos range from good to great; the soups are usually good, though my first was so-so; fish and seafood can be a little hit-or-miss; beef and pork dishes have been very good; and the desserts are always an excellent way to finish any meal here. The only category I wouldn't try again would be the salads. One thing worth noting, if you want to try Habitat without committing to the expense of a full dinner, they do a $16 "executive express" lunch during the week, which gives you four small courses--all served at once for expediency. (That was my first experience there, and while the soup and salad were unimpressive, the sandwich and amazing dessert convinced me to come back--and I'm glad they did.) While I've had a mix of experiences, everything I've seen tells me the best is yet to come. There's a lot of potential in Habitat, and I'll definitely be back to see what they accomplish.
