Overall, Habitat offers a number of very creative cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and deserts. Some are outstanding; others are good at best. The dining room is modern and tastefully arranged, has interesting views of the city, and could work for a date or business dinner.
The wine list is extremely overpriced, however, especially considering the mediocre wines available at lower and middle price points, and they remove the bottle from the table each time they pour the wine. This is annoying, because the waitstaff is not particularly attentive and thus you can go 5-10 minutes waiting for someone to bring the bottle over and fill your glass. A second problem is that they charge $15 for valet parking in Pittsburgh, and will not validate your parking even if you're spending $100/person on dinner at the restaurant. That seems absurd to me. If these frustrating problems were rectified (as they could be quite easily), I would give the restaurant 4.5 stars.
