The Habitat — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

Food and music are good.

Service was less than average. We got there and had to wait long before someone answered to us, although place wasn’t that full. You do feel ignored. When we were standing at the middle entrance of the bar, the waitress Olivia came and rudely asked us to move saying we can’t stay there as trays come and go (not true) and cutting us off while trying to ask for a table. She was continuously focusing on moving us out of there and saying everything is at the hostess outside…the hostess of the adjacent restaurant so irrelevant and unclear for the clients. We go out our names at the restaurant entrance and ask if we can sit at the bar wait while a table clears up. They say if we sit at the bar we lose our table reservation!! We had to sit outside in the middle of nowhere and they put a red rope to ensure we don’t stand at the entrance!! When we sat and ordered, I asked for strawberry daiquiri, she said the blender is broken…and I asked for other cocktails she said the blender is broken and didn’t make other suggestions so I ended up just water.

Anyway, we came for my husband birthday and unfortunately we didn’t have a good evening as the waitress OLivia set...

Went out to dinner with my husband last week for his birthday. He ordered a Sea Bass, I ordered the Chicken Sandwich. His fish was nothing out of the ordinary, but there was something OFF with the chicken. We pulled that bad boy apart to find the source of the sour taste and foul smell - the "creamy" coleslaw topping. Now I'm a Midwestern girl who loves coleslaw, but this tasted fizzy, almost like an effervescent buttermilk. I attempted call the waiter over multiple times, only to have them dart past without a word. As I struggled to not lose my dinner, my husband finally gets the attention of our waiter to bring more water. Shouldn't take more than a moment to get a staff's attention, but alas this seemed to be the reoccurring theme of our visit to Webers owned businesses this weekend. I sent the meal back, and was charged full price for something I didn't eat. We explicitly told the waiter it tasted spoiled. Thankfully we had a gift card to cover most of our very expensive dinner. The following evening I developed extreme stomach cramping, and other symptoms of food poisoning. A massive disappointment...

This place was...okay. As others have said, the service really needs work. They don't seem to have a real process for seating people so we just stood there awkwardly until the lone waitress (whom we could see standing around doing nothing in the back) told us to sit wherever. There was a single bartender and she worked very slowly (we got our appetizer before the two glasses of wine we ordered).

The duck I ordered was just fine, not the best I've ever had but certainly not the worst. It was a very hot day and we were hit with a blast of hot, humid air every time they opened the door the patio, which was frequently, even though there didn't seem to be people sitting out there.

My general feeling is that for the prices they're asking we should get a slightly higher tier...well, everything, but especially service. If we hadn't been staying at the hotel we probably wouldn't...
