Habitant - Bellevue

Currently sitting here on a crowded, short-staffed day so thought I'd bring some positivity- I love this place! If you order only one thing, get the Vine Street (vodka, rosé, lime, mint, grape, and prosecco). I've never had something with three different alcohols be so smooth and refreshing! The service is wonderful, bartenders are always so great; they are friendly and welcoming without being pushy or fake. I've visited several times across the tears and they always provide consistent service! The setting...a bar in a Nordstrom. I have said it all. They are dark, twisted, brilliant, and kind for putting this place in however many years ago they did. I have only tried the deviled eggs (cage free, with maple/bacon) but they were great! A great snack when you need some shopping fuel. The prices are also perfectly fair, something that honestly surprised me at first. A Vine Street is currently $14 and the eggs are $8. I love having this spot around and hope it stays 5ever!

I love that there is a bar in Nordstrom! Let's be honest cocktails and shopping? Hardly anything beats it. The location and vibe is spot on, and the servers are always super friendly. My three star review is a result of the price (most cocktails are $20) and the food (which is lackluster). My friend and I ordered the Burrata. And I'm not sure what we got but it was definitely not Burrata. Burrata is a yummy ball of mozzarella cheese with yummy gooey cheesiness on the inside. We did not get this. We got 3 *very small* pieces of fresh mozzarella (size of a quarter), 6 pieces of bread, and a boatload of tomatoes. It was definitely more of a Caprese salad. I asked the server if we received the right thing, as typically burrata would imply a mostly cheese based dish (not a few slices of regular mozzarella), and he informed me this is how their burrata is. Then he looked closer and agreed it was definitely lacking cheese. He brought us a side plate with more fresh mozzarella which was nice, but it really wasn't what we were expecting. I'll be back again because you can't beat a bar inside Nordstrom, but next time I'll skip the food.

Really good quick bites and some amazing drinks!! Food is a wide range of large entrees and small grab items

Simple minded people and management in a location that 's supposed to be "bougie "Food: 1/5

Drinks are very good. If you need some drinks and food to take a break from shopping it is a great spot.However food take ridiculously long time to come to your table and overall service is slow.Consider your circumstances and if you are in need of leaving or too tired to spend 50 minutes waiting for a simple ahi tuna I definitely recommend you to take your chance in another bar near by.
