Home is delicious. Whenever I'm in LA, I request -- nay, demand -- that we go here. And my friends have no problem with that.
Their chicken salad is amazing, so order anything with that in it. Also, I really like their salad with the chicken, apples and walnuts. I like sitting outside instead of inside, especially if I can sit by the fountain and watch the fish.
I've eaten here twice, and both times I had the lunch items. I've heard this place is super for breakfast, so the 3-star rating I've given Home may be becase I'm just coming at the wrong meal of the day.
I've had the carmelized apple salad, as well as the chicken pomodoro sandwich. Both were just "OK." Nothing amazing. The salad was too warm, too sweet, and trying to be too pretentious. The sandwich was better but overall nothing special. I like the restaurant's ambiance and the outdoor seating, but the service was just mediocre and it was very noisy. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back unless it was to try a breakfast item.

I came here once for lunch from work, I had a mojito and a screwdriver, I came back plastered, was a great time. No one could tell though, even though I was pretty red. Food's good. Sandwiches are great, pizza's good. Not a bad place to sit outside for a while and grab a bite

Just wrong. I had SEVERE food poisoning two days ago after I ordered a chicken parm sandwich, which wasn't even good. So I called to let them know, so that they wouldn't end up with an epidemic, and Manager Uber-Douche told me he had it for lunch and was fine, so I must be sick from something else.
I just want to take a minute and explain to restaurant managers how to deal with customers. I'm not going to sue you for a stomach ache and some puking, so just be nice, maybe tell me you'll check on the expiration dates on the sauces. Level with me, I don't need attitude for doing the responsible thing, you total fuckface.
Food's delicious. I eat here all the time. As well they deliver which is great.

Ate here twice. The food is AMAZING. Huge menu of burgers, pastas, sandwiches, and salads. The first time I went, I had the warm spinach salad. Oh my God. Unparalleled. I don't even like salads that much usually - was just trying to eat healthy - but I can honestly say that every bite melted in my mouth.
The second time, I had the curried chicken sandwich. Again, MMMM. Bread was ok. Chicken was spectacular. Even the side salad was delicious. If my budget and my waistline allowed it, I could eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day and be happy.
The wait is the only downside. Of course, everyone wants to come here! There is usually a crowd of people standing outside the patio waiting their turn. Oh, the patio - there is a huge, shaded outdoor seating area. Very pleasant.
Must go here if you're anywhere near Hollywood!

One of the better breakfasts I've had. The atmosphere outside is beautiful (I don't see any reason to ever dine indoors), and features verdant shrubbery, bubbling fountains, and a really rustic, "woodsy" feel in the middle of Los Feliz. I had the Monte Cristo (black forest ham and swiss between two slices of French toast). The Monte Cristo, for those who have never had the good luck to encounter one, is quite possibly the greatest sandwich ever. Their French toast was delicious and flavorful, and it was served with a ramekin of warm syrup. Yum. I can say the same about the potatoes it was served with. Yum. Plenty of vegetables and seasoning, and not too oily.
I could live here.
The food is perfectly delicious. It can tend to get a bit pricey so I usually only treat myself to delivery once a month and Sunday brunch every couple of months but SERIOUSLY the food is rad.
Everything is prepared to give you the illusion that you're eating healthy but it tastes way too good for that. The outside patio dining is a must and the drinks are pretty stiff. The staff is friendly and efficient however if you order for pick up or delivery CHECK YOUR ORDER. Luckily even if they forget something or get it wrong, they will fix it and bring it right back to you.
MUST try the Salmon. INCREDIBLE!
This place is literally down the street from my house. I have to drive by it almost everyday. For the longest time, I never stopped by. I always drove by, saw tons of people, and said to myself, "I need to check out that hot spot one of these days." I finally stopped by, twice actually, both times for lunch. The first time I had a sandwich, but I forgot which one (monte cristo maybe?). It wasn't too shabby. The second time, I had one of their salads which was pretty good. I've tasted my friend's dishes I went with both times and theirs was pretty good. The service was pretty friendly. You can opt to eat inside or outside. I've done both. The only issue I had with eating outside was the damn flies, I had to keep waving them away from our food. Besides that, this place comes recommended. It's a perfect , nifty little spot located in the Los Feliz area. Maybe you have a lunch date? This is a good spot to take them! The drawback is if you go during rush hours, you might have to wait a little while for a table. It can get packed. The parking is okay, you'll most likely have to park in the surrounding residential area and just walk a little or I think they have valet? Home has my approval.
One of the best spinach salads out there! I'm not too crazy about their other fare but I'm still perplexed at how they can make a warm spinach salad without it being soggy. Try it. It has chicken in it. And goat cheese, I think. Stay away from the passionfruit mojito, it wasn't very good.
The updated sign is too gaudy though.

Considering how our first date went (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), maybe I shouldn't have been surprised by the turnout of the our anniversary night. But hot damn, can't a cute cougary cub just get a break?
1. Ambiguous parking situation by the vintage store next door showed "Home Restaurant Parking Only" followed by another sign for "Valet Only". After driving around the block and seeing no other indication of other valet directions, we parked there anyway. When mentioned to our waitress, she had no idea the spaces existed or if we would get towed. After talking to about 4 different employees, we were finally assured it would be fine.
2. Prompt seating by the koi pond was quickly followed by the busboy spilling a glass of ice cold water in my lap. Suddenly, my idea to wear a skimpy dress was no longer a very good idea. I knew I'd end up with wet panties at some point, but not this way!
3. Calamari appetizer looked so much like overly-breaded onion rings, I had to depend on Le Heinz as my dipping sauce.
4. Ribeye was asked to be cooked medium-rare. Prior to ordering, we specifically asked if it would be done right, and our waitress insisted that it would. But of course, it didn't. And then she mentions that she did notice that all steaks were cooked medium AFTER THE FACT.
5. The turkey in the club wrap tasted like Oscar Mayer's honey-roasted turkey. No joke. The bacon was awesome (when isn't it?) but I still couldn't muster eating more than a quarter of my super salty entree.
6. Uber garlicky veggies made J.Lo's burps almost unbearable throughout the rest of the night. But of course, we still made out, leading to Part 2 of Wet Panty Fiasco.
Although our waitress was overly talkative and slightly air-headed (think Six from Blossom), she really was nice and seemed to care about our experience. I think she felt especially bad when we told her it was our anniversary, and deducted a portion from our bill. Small gesture but much appreciated.
Also, since it's pretty close to my new spot, I'm sure I'll be back for their breakfast fare...and I'll make sure to leave the panties at home.

I dug the ambiance and atmosphere from the moment we walked in to the place - and nearly into a waiter, a busboy and a couple dining nearby as there is awkwardly no place to wait for a table without being in the way of the staff, patrons or those trying to walk by on the sidewalk. Awkward, but perhaps an issue of adaptive reuse? Not sure what the history is of the building or the lot it sits on, but once we were invited to sit in a nice booth, we soon forgot about the awkwardness of that moment.
The food here is mostly simple fare - maybe a step above comfort food, but mostly OK, I've enjoyed a cheeseburger on one occasion and a garden herb tuna salad sandwich on my second visit - both without bugs, but not without flies buzzing about - ah, the pleasures of dining outdoors.
The burger was tasty - nothing outstanding, but it hit the spot that day. However the tuna was lackluster and nothing like my great aunt Mary used to make, or whatever claim the make on the menu. It was not much more than a cut above the stuff they scooped out in mass quantity in my school cafeteria. I couldn't taste the garden freshness the menu boasted about, but it was still edible.
The thing that keeps me from being able to give this place more stars is the attitude of the staff. During our first visit, our waiter was detached and seemed a bit lost or out of sorts. We figured he must have been new so we cut him some slack. However on our second visit our waitress, in what seemed like a misguided attempt at humor, was condescending and generally off-putting. The same could be said of the clientele, but since they're not charged with serving my meal, they're much easier to ignore.
If you are in no mood for the 'tude, avoid this place. But if you're curious, give it a try or two. Truth is, I'll likely return someday, with mediocre expectations and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I guess this would be home, if it weren't for the horrible parking options and one hour wait with the reservations.
The food was pretty good, but the noisiness and cramped area was distracting. I kept getting elbowed and bumped all over the place. The outdoor sky was definitely the best part of the restaurant.
Still.. all in all... so so...

I guess this place doesn't need any more reviews. But anyway, I liked it. I had the Yummy in yer Tummy Warm Spinich Salad and it was just as described. It was pretty big, so I had leftovers and microwaved it for lunch. Still good! And I should note that my microwave was free and was missing both the spinning plate and the base for the plate so it turns most food into half frozen half scorching inedibleness (although I still appreciate it, Ria & Gary!). Anyway, this salad managed to still be awesome the next day. Wooo
How lovely to sit out on a patio on a gorgeous LA day, listening to a bubbly fountain and eating a delicious salad.
That was my experience at Home and I was grateful to finally have a decent lunch.

YES, this place is good. YES, this place delivers... which is all nice and nice.
But, placing a delivery order is so annoying here - that I talk myself out of it 4 out of 5 times. The actual conversation that happens when placing the phone order is like talking to someone on acid, over a bullhorn, in the loudest most obnoxious club ever. No matter how insanely loud you scream, the order taker will not hear you. You WILL have to repeat your credit card number 9 times. The order taker will have 3 other conversations while you are explaining how you want your burger cooked, and you may get hung up on. If you can survive that 15 minute blood boiling ordeal, the food will be solid.
I would eat here more... if I had an assistant to call in the orders for me.
Can't the management like, set up a phone that isnt in the bowels of the kitchen? A small secluded nook where people aren't yelling and screaming in the background? Just a thought...
This place is, hands down, my favorite restaurant! As the sign out front says, there is No Place Like Home. First of all, their food is delicious. Great sandwiches, burgers, pizza, breakfasts and so on. Secondly, their service is great. Some of the waitresses are Dam hot, and I usually don't have to order my drink, because they already know what I want. Third, they have a nice patio with great scenery. The "Hot Coffee" is always brewing at Home. These are some of the reasons Home is my favorite restaurant.

I met Deborah K for dinner last night at Home. They do indeed have complimentary valet but I parked around the corner much to the horror of a local resident who was trying to save the spot for a friend.
There's some seating in the enclosed area towards the back but mainly it would be considered patio seating. I did smell some people smoking but it wasn't too overwhelming. We sat next to the pond with some of the biggest koi fish I've ever seen. The gentle gurgling of the water was calming. Until a koi splashed about and got me on the forearm. If you don't like pond water, I would suggest sitting elsewhere.
Home's known for their all-day breakfast and for a moment, I toyed with the idea of a Monte Cristo sandwich but in the end, I opted to get the ribeye, changing out the mashed potatoes for their famous waffle fries. It was also served with a side of veggies.
The veggies were pretty good but got bitter in the end. I'm not sure if I was just initially delighted by the heavy garlic flavor but I probably shouldn't have ate all the carrots, squash and broccoli. The waffle fries were good but they could have used a bit of seasoning, like salt.
The ribeye was touted to be 16 oz and had a mushroom sauce. I asked for it to be medium rare. It was medium. It didn't seem 16 oz though. Possibly more like 12. Then again, they cooked it beyond what I wanted so it probably shrunk to a smaller size. I did like the sauce and it helped out with the juiciness factor since it was cooked to medium.
We also had the mocha crunch cake for dessert. The waitress made a small sound of delight when we ordered it so I was looking forward to an orgasmic dessert. It was fine. I really only enjoyed the crunch part.
Overall, I'd come back "Home."

5 Stars Worthy
I don't remember much cuz of the Purples buuuuuut I do remember the food tasting delicious and was fulfilling and the restaurant setup reminded me of the Scarface scene with the two double staircase leading to the bedroom doors (bathrooms at the Home) and the fountain at the bottom....yea i know I don't make sense- YA HAD TO BE THERE!
But back to my review...the place is definitely getting 5 stars cuz the place was unique and cool... not the celebrity-loving-overpriced menu kinda cool but really chill and enjoyable =)
My dishes were the BLT and Hawaiian pizza- plain yes but was good. I love the fact that the prices were decent and they gave out big portions!
I'm def. goin back for more!

I've been coming here for quite a few years.. the food is usually good, but not epic. However, I have been surprised a couple times.. the chicken marsala is surprisingly fantastic and draped in juicy mushroomy wine sauce goodness.
As for the service... I wish I had more positive things to say, but it's usually pretty awful... I have had a few okay servers, but way more bad than good... lately I guess this place has become super trendy and now in addition to the bad service there's usually a really long wait...
So, now I feel all sad..as I love places with ample patio seating...

Just got back from lunch at Home. This place was the bomb!
I had the warm spinach salad, and my coworker had the chicken almond salad sandwich. Both meals were incredibly good. The service was very quick. Waiters were plentiful and helpful. Portions were more than enough. Prices were average.
I would definately come back. They are close to my work and were able to get me in and out in 45 minutes. The only issue I have with this place is parking. But everywhere in Los Feliz has horrible parking, so I can't be mad at them for that.
Home... I have been eating your tasty treats for years. Sitting under your beautiful tree and eating some delicious food. I never cared that the service was a bit slow - I never went when I was in a hurry. I even forgave when the staff all changed and made it feel less "homey". I got to the point where I could ever seem to order was the Tex Mex Burrito (without the bacon) because it's so damn good I think about it when I am not there.
So my dear friend Heat and I went to our saturday Yoga class at Karuna and went over to Home for breakfast like we like to do and I thought about not ordering the Tex Mex burrito but of course I did because it's yum. And 3/4 of the way through I found a bug all smashed under my cheese. The leg was what really made me unable to pretend that it was something else... like a piece of burnt parsley (which is what I was trying to tell myself that it was for the sake of my own sanity until I saw the disembodied leg)
The new one that just opened closer to my house is bigger and even though some of the decor is bizarrely tacky and poorly chosen it's a great spot where I can get their good food and not think about the roach in my food.
But I will always miss that damn Tex Mex burrito...

TYPE OF CUISINE: "Imaginative American"
ADDRESS: 1760 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027
PHONE: 323-69-0211
WEBSITE: http://www.homelosfeli.../
RESERVATIONS: Perhaps for a very large group
GENERAL LOCATION: The west side of Hillhurst between Kingswell and Melbourne
HOURS: Open daily from 9 am until closing, which varies with the season. Generally it closes earlier in the colder months.
DELIVERY SERVICE: $3 charge "in the area," $5 "out of the area," whatever the "area" is -- you better call and get that straight!
BANQUET FACILITIES: No
CATERING: Yes
TAKEOUT: Yes
NOISE FACTOR: Not bad, considering
VEGGIE FACTOR: It's possible, but they don't make any consideration for veg people particularly
AMBIANCE/ATMOSPHERE: (This place needs another review like I need a hole in the head, but here goes:)
There is NOTHING as pleasant as eating at Home for breakfast, when the air is cool and the entire patio is in shade! You MUST explore their website to get an idea of the place which is beautiful and imaginative. Tiered areas for some of the tables, ground level, and even a private area outdoors and two small indoor rooms. The main dining area is outdoors. This is another reason to go in the morning: less traffic noise and less tailpipe exhaust -- and fewer flies! I generally don't like eating outdoors for those reasons, but this place is so enjoyable to be in: you feel like you're in someone's private yard, even if there is a wide open space to the street, and the patio is surrounded by giant ficus trees. Just being there is part of the pleasure.
FOOD: I had the All-American Breakfast. That is to say, two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two pancakes, and coffee. That breakfast is cheaper on the weekdays than it is on weekends. Everything was done right: The eggs, over medium, really were that: the yolks were thick and not runny, and the whites were firm. The bacon was fried well, not too crisp, and not too raw. The pancakes had a nice texture. The coffee was flavorful.
FOOD PRESENTATION: Food on plates. The pancakes were garnished with just a light dusting of powdered sugar: a nice touch.
DRINKS: The Mai Tai ["WHAT???!! Leonard, you had a MAI TAI at NINE IN THE FRIKKIN' MORNING???!!!"] Tut, my dears, tut. As a dedicated Yelper, it is one of my most seriously taken duties to test any barkeep that crosses my path, and Home does have a full bar, and in full swing at breakfast! I had no choice: was duty-bound to test him out with one of my Test Drinks: a Mai Tai or a Singapore Sling. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Anyway, as I was saying, it was a good strong drink: a little too much on the rum, needed a little more of the sweet stuff to balance it out. Nevertheless, I made a mighty effort and finished it.
SERVICE: The service could be a bit better. There were only two waitresses that I could see, and that meant more work for them and longer wait times for the patrons. I thought the woman who waited on me was a bit brusk, and was more interested in getting things done than with being pleasant. On the other hand, she really had a lot of patrons to take care of. They really need to hire more wait staff.
PRICE RANGE: Give or take twenty bucks per person.
PAYMENT: Cash, CC
PARKING SITUATION: Same old story: "Lousy on Hillhurst." I was fortunate to find a parking spot around the corner on Melbourne.
RED FLAG: They should have turbaned servants with huge feather fans standing by to wave off the flies!

I went to the smaller Home restaurant off of the 5 freeway on Fletcher. I was shockingly surprised what it looked like inside. It was really nice with an outside patio.
We were headed to the Dodger game and this is right on our way. The only parking that we saw was $3.50. Im not sure if there was parking on the street.
We ended up sitting at the bar because they had 2 plasma TVs with the sports on. It was happy hour and a large Stella was only $3.50, so that made up for having to valet the car.
I ordered the Bleu Cheese Burger and onion rings and both were excellent. I wish we would have found this earlier in the dodger season.

More of a question...i saw a place on my way to the dodger game off of the 5 freeway, Fletcher exit… Read more »
This "Home" is just like mine. Crazy, cluttered, loud and nobody pays attention to you.
Upon first impression I thought this place was going to be great! Valet parking, patio seating with cozy furniture and umbrellas! Stoked. It was a bit busy, but we tracked down the host(s). One told us to grab one of the patio booths and another told us we had to wait on a list for 20 minutes. We weren't sure what we were supposed to do and asked again and then were told to wait again. We should've grabbed a table!
I didn't really like that they didn't have a waiting area. You basically wait IN THE WAY of the servers and in front of people's tables. Since I felt weird standing in the way, I decided to grab someone and head to the bar for mimosas while we waited.
We got up to the bar and instead of being greeted, the bartender asked us to move down a bit. A hello would've been nice instead, but I do realize they were busy. We waited for a few minutes to get their attention, but our table was ready by then. They sat us in the middle of the restaurant at a 4 top even though we told them we were expecting one more person. LUCKILY, though, a booth just so happened to open up right next to us and they were nice enough to let us snag it.
The service was pretty slow - and I don't quite even know who our server was. It's one of those places where the bussers do most of the work. But, once the food came, it was quite good (though, I was also starving and probably a bit hungover so McDonald's breakfast probably would've done the trick too). They did mess up on one order but fixed it immediately.
Overall, this place was a bit chaotic. Especially during Sunday brunch. But, I guess that's to be expected a bit, right? The mimosas added up quickly. Brunch for 2 of us including tip cost us $60. I do have to give them props for putting up with one of my dining partners. He was literally being the biggest pain in the ass ever. I'm actually suprised they didn't kick us out. Though he did say that his gravy for his chicken fried steak was a bit runny... so perhaps they got back at him in some other way!?

I went to HOME for the first time last weekend. I'm always looking for a good brunch place, but usually I don't want to wait AT ALL, since I'm more often than none in need of a Bloody Mary and some starches. We went to HOME at 3pm on a Sunday, and although it was still packed, we only waited a few minutes for a nice booth.
BAD Bloody Mary. Now Bloody Marys can't really be terrible in my book, it's just not possible with the ingredients, but this one was very disappointing. The Bloody Mary is the most crucial part of my brunch experience, and if it's average or above, I'm happy. This was below average, I wasn't very happy. This almost cost HOME 2 stars, but after careful consideration, I gave it 4 out of 5.
The atmosphere was great. It seems like all of the lush trees in town are all surrounding the HOME patio. Really nice, relaxing afternoon setting. I ate the curry chicken salad, on a salad, which was very good. My boyfriend ate the tuna burger, which was also very tasty. We had some jalapeno poppers for an app, which were not the best I've had, and I wouldn't order them again. The sandwiches people around us had ordered looked really good. I want to try many things on the menu.
We like this place, for the breakfasts, and for the koi fountain in the courtyard. Good bargain breakfasts Monday through Friday.
They have a new location open in Silverlake, on Fletcher, that is also good.
I really really like this place. The food is always good. The service is always great. I've never had to wait to long for a table. They have free valet parking. The atmosphere is tremendous. Sitting outside in a nice booth with the fountain going is great.
This is a great place to go with the family. I love it.

Flys were buzzing around our food. Makes me wonder what the flys are doing in the kitchen. (1 star)
Yummy waffle cut fries (3.5 stars)
Sandwiches looked pretty tasty. Mostly range from $8-$10. Friend recommended their meatloaf.
Clam Chowder was watery. Perhaps that is why the cup portion is served in a cereal bowl-$3.95 (1 star for taste)
Breakfast is served all day except for a couple of items.

I haven't been to the other Home, so I can't tell you if the new location is better. But if last Thursday was any indication, you're better off going to Los Feliz. First of all, unless you want to park on the street next to the zooming cars, you can valet it. I think it's $3 or $4.
Once you enter, the patio has striped booths with a country feel to it. Really cute actually, but unfortunately, they were all taken. So we asked for a booth inside and ended up with one by the kitchen. The table wasn't the right fit so we had to scrunch on one end and move it, so that we could comfortably sit back and still touch the table.
The decor was eclectic, with one of those huge swordfish on the wall, those cool ceiling lamps also at Ord Noodles in Thai Town, paisley prints and velour curtains. It just didn't do it for me. Polka's in Eagle Rock manages to still feel homey despite all the random knick knacks, but this restaurant was too big and open for that.
The service was decent, I think they're still adjusting to the opening of a new restaurant. The food, however, took half an hour. At least. We ordered the meatloaf dinner and vegetable soup to share, and our other friend ordered fruit and yogurt. For all the time we waited, I was expecting homemade, thick steaming meatloaf straight from the oven. Instead, we got something that was obviously overcooked and left out to cool. They were the thinnest slices of meatloaf I'd ever had and the chicken gravy (no brown =( ) did little to flavor it. We had to ask for ketchup and tabasco, which came out when we were already halfway done with our meal. The soup, however, was very delicious - the vegetables were fresh and crisp. My friend's fruit and yogurt were fine, but her muffin was tough and crumbly, with a weird low-fat taste to it. Not impressed with the food at all.
I understand that an opening of a new restaurant is always shaky and the service will be up and down. So I'll give them another chance, but not until they get some of the kinks worked out.

Great people watching + outside seating + breakfast all day = paradise. This is the best place to go for breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday morning (especially if you're like me and "morning" on a weekend means 1:00 pm). I love their breakfast burrito, but their regular tacos are good too as is pretty much everything else they serve. They also have lunch and dinner type fare on the menu but, honestly, why bother?

Great place!!!! Great menu!! Great service! If anything, I have a love/ hate relationship with the outside patio. It can get waaaaay tooo smokey, and I don't enjoy eating in a sauna of second hand smoke. It's not all the time though. Best bet is to sit either inside or get seated in a booth on the outside edge of the patio to avoid the smoke.
For now this place gets an OK from me. I will have to go back for breakfast to really make my judgment on it. I went last night we a couple of girlfriends and I loved the atmosphere. The bad part about it was eating and swapping flies at the same time. It was a little annoying but not bad enough to make me leave.
The waiters are AMAZING and so helpful. Whatever we wanted we got. Even when one of my girlfriends wasn't happy with her Pomegranate Martini, he took it back, no questions and switched her order. I had the P.I.N.K. Caffeinated Vodka Lemonade. It was good, not amazing and something I would crave, but just good. My other girlfriends had dirty martini's and they absolutely LOVED them. So next time I know what to get.
For dinner I had the Veggie Wrap with Veggie soup. I was skeptical about the goat cheese in my wrap, but I have to say it did compliment the veggies. As for the soup, ehhh, too chunky of veggies and not enough soup. We also ordered the Chinese Salad which had the right amount of dressing and is perfect if you want something light. The Apple Salad was next, which was also good. The caramelized apples added the perfect touch to the crunchiness of the lettuce. The last thing to order was the Turkey Ruben with Criss Cut Fries. The fries were AMAZING..wanted to eat all of them. The turkey Ruben I didn't taste, but my girlfriend had no complaints and it sure looked delicious.
Overall it was a nice experience. Like I said, the breakfast will be the deciding fact for me.
Thanks for the great service!!!

Came here the other day for lunch with my mom. I definitely think other yelpers have been too kind in their reviews of Home. Yes, it is pretty inside with lots of seating. I like the outdoor patio seating. However, the food was just ok. Very unoriginal. I ordered the chicken pomodoro sandwich and I've had that kind of sandwich many times over. It's like any other panini-type sandwich you get at a run-of-the-mill cafe. The onion rings were delicious though. My mom ordered the Mexican Salad and it was just ok. Just a bunch of lettuce topped with corn, beans, and tortilla chips. I could've made a better salad at home. Regardless, the company was nice.
P.S. Am I the only one who thinks it's BS that they charge for parking at all times of the day?!?
Slow service, mediocre food that wasn't fulfilling or satisfying. Young and artsy crowd was fun to look at but why do alot of young 20 somethings look like they just rolled out of bed without combing their hair? The wait to get a table was not really worth the food. My ex artsy bf took me here and now I know why we are together anymore.

I went to Home last night, and I really enjoyed it. The ambiance was great with the tree canopy and dangling lanterns. The food was good... your typical American food. But I give this restaurant 4
