I visited Habitant at Nordstrom Ala Moana yesterday around lunchtime. Unfortunately, I experienced service from a female staff member that felt unfriendly and dismissive. She did not make eye contact, spoke with a curt tone, and did not say “thank you” at the end.
I usually enjoy my visits to Habitant, but this experience was disappointing. I wanted to share this feedback so it can be addressed.

6/2025 Been frequenting this nice,cozy find quite a bit, especially on Wine down Wednesdays. You cannot beat the 50% off most all wine bottle special. It's also not like the carry bad labels either. Their list is simple but elegant as is the atmosphere. Located on the 2nd floor in the middle of Nordstroms, this little secret is a pleasant way to kill some time, watch a quick game on TV, heck out the foot traffic while contemplating that to do list, or enjoy random conversations with regulars and newbies alike. Everyone knows the friendly staff by name and the cocktails are pretty dang good too. It's not the cheapest place in the world to get a cocktail but what place is nowadays and the ambiance provides that added value. Hence, Wednesdays. Give them a try when you're near Foodland or shopping in the area and pamper yourself with an unexpected pleasant break. 😉🤙✌️

The atmosphere is chill. The drinks are strong and worth the money. The food is good. The bartender and servers are awesome. Literally no downsides. If you’re an adult, come here.

Rest your tired feet and shopping bags! Habitat has crafted cocktails and pupus (appetizers) that will make you swoon. I love the comfy cushioned seats, if I can grab one! Love this place!

The service was slower than expected. The “manager” was using the register and also making drinks. No big deal, except he used his hands to grab the fruit garnish for my drink and touched all over the rim of my glass. Wouldn’t go back on purpose.

Artichoke dip was very salty and the bread dry, chicken meatballs had an odd texture, cocktail was good but overall everything was overpriced compared to the quality of the food and service.
Nice place, but come on guys, instead of greeting the customers first you pointing out what you CANT do and can do. Try some customer service. While I was there I saw 2 different couples came to sit and because no one came to them while they were waiting to be served they left….

My husband and I love to come here on the weekend or to during a shopping break. The drinks and pupus are always delicious and the service is always friendly. Plus we get Nordy points so we get a little back for all the money we spend here. They have comfy bench seating and also tables and two tvs where they usually have the sports playing. I love getting the basil cucumber gin drink or the Mimi Chardonnay. Habitant never disappoints.

I love that there is a bar inside a clothing store.The drinks are strong in a good way. The staff are friendly and have been here for a long time.They do serve food and it does come out quite fast. This is perfect when waiting for others to shop.Cheers

We were in the Ala Moana Shopping Center and we needed a snack, so we popped by Habitant at Nordstrom. We enjoyed sitting at the bar, having a beverage, and a snack of salad and meatballs. Perfect amout of yummy food, great service, and ambiance. This is also a great place to watch sports. This is not fine dining, but it's classy and "fit the bill" for what we were looking for.
