The architecturally enlightened Fairmont Pittsburgh showcases a simply sleek restaurant, Habitat. The centerpiece of the dining room is a handcrafted, elevated community table for twelve, but all eyes follow the talent of an experienced chef team operating in the dramatic open kitchen. England-born executive chef Andrew Morrison establishes all “green” practices, including recycling, composting and reduced energy consumption. And he subscribes as scrupulously as possible to the local, organic, seasonal creed. Yet his kitchen includes both a wok station and a tandoor oven used for executing his globally-inspired menu. Naan with three chutneys and lobster curry, with generous chunks of sweet lobster meat, seduce diners, as do tandoor-roasted quail with red curry squash and cinnamon crème and miso-glazed salmon with baby bok choy, teriyaki sweet peppers and nori pickled mushrooms. Grass-fed beef is the choice for a variety of steaks. Pastry chef Naomi Gallego wows with such desserts as a plum bakewell tart and the Guanaja chocolate napoleon with passion fruit curd. The thoughtfully composed wine list has broad options of both old-world and new-world labels, an extensive list of wines-by-the-glass and half-bottles.
