I have heard A LOT about Habit's and I was excited to meet friends there. The ambiance was nice, but not overly spectacular. Nice table clothes and napkins as well as well weighted silverware (iykyk, light cutlery is trash). Bathrooms were clean and did not smell or have wet floors. All positives for me.
As for the service, the young man was ok. He seemed to be preoccupied and forgot a couple of things for the table. I'm not a fan of feeling rushed and I can't say it was that or something else, but I know the restaurant was not busy and we were not asking for too much. But you never know what someone is dealing with, so I will chalk it up to life.
The food was above average and had very solid flavors. I got the stuffed chicken and it was tasty. We also ordered hummus, BaBa, and salads.... all pretty good. Where I feel they lost me was, two things in particular: 1) Pita and not fresh baked bread. For the price point, the ambiance and the hype, I was for sure I would get that piping hot fresh bread, instead we got warm pita. We made it do! 2) No Garlic Sauce, this is a travesty! If I don't leave out of a spot like this needed a mint, something went wrong! To make it worse, our server was so fast that he checked on us and by the time I went to ask for sauce, he was gone.....
All in all, the ultimate question is; will we be back? I'd say probably. I want to try some other items on the menu and see if they have garlic sauce, if not, it's a never again for me Broski!
