    Great service and great food! We came for the gluten free menu but everyone left happy. There was something for each one of us - a vegetarian, teen with food allergies and a seafood lover!

    We ate the two fish specials, one salmon, one cod. Both were outstanding. The Ashley's ice cream with warm chocolate chip cookies was a special treat. This is one of the few places to find 1911 ciders. The maple bourbon barrel aged cider is fabulous. Our server Steve was entertaining and guided us to a great meal.

    Comfortable, friendly, and good food. Tables are spaced apart allowing for private conversations. Our 2nd visit and we will return again. Outstanding gluten-free menu too!

    We chose HOME based off reviews on Google. Service was slow but very friendly and helpful. Cheeseboard was very disappointing. Tiny pieces of waxy Halloumi, big cubes of Muenster and a tasty Gorgonzola. Six small toast points. Some pickled pepper strips that weren’t crisp or bright at all. A ramekin of tart blueberry chutney. Dinner arrives. ‘Gavadeel’ were not true cavatelli but rather a dry cavatelli shaped pasta. Hardly sauced. Sauce overpowered by olive juice. The pork cutlet was over fried in very old fry oil. I could not get the taste out of my mouth. Husbands coconut shrimp was literally black. Not dark brown…black! He could not cut it with a fork nor a knife. Again, old oil. My margarita was just ok. Found it odd the bartender put soda in it. The place is pleasant decor but definitely tired and a little run down. Lots of possibilities here but the kitchen and management need to roll up their sleeves big time.

    Finally, a great neighborhood restaurant: good menu, adventurous dishes in addition to standard favorites; charming space; friendly, fast and efficient staff. Sadly, it's 20 minutes from our neighborhood!
