Editorial Review for Home--Temporarily Closed for Renovations – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Home is an ingeniously designed space that's little larger than a studio apartment but somehow manages to feel cozy and charming. There's a lovely garden out back, where on cool fall nights you can dine under the glow of an electric heater. Fresh ingredients and clever seasoning transform even the simplest dishes, many of which take their inspiration from ingredients culled from New York State farms. Steaks, pork chops, quail, and fish preparations are favorites.

I went to Home for a friend’s birthday this year, having had many pleasant experiences here in the past. Our night did not get off to a good start when we were shoved into a hot stuffy corner at the back. It took our waiter 15 minutes to come over and see if we wanted anything to drink, and then he disappeared without another word to us. Another 20 minutes later, he returned to FINALLY get out order. Our apps and entrees arrived in bits and pieces, leaving some people with food for about 10 minutes while others waited and our food grew cold- totally unreasonable for a party of 5. Then, when we placed a desert order, only half of the deserts arrived, and though about 6 people went back and forth past our table, we could not get a single person to stop. Then, when our waiter finally came back, he acted as though we had never placed the desert order at all, even though he had given spoons to people who had ordered. Then, without a word of apology he snatched the bill up off the table, and proceeded to add all of the deserts, not giving us a single thing for free in spite of all the problems. I was shocked to see how far a place that used to be one of my favorites has fallen!

Pros: The food was tasty, I just wish I could have had it warm

Cons: Pretty much everything else

My friend had taken me here for my birthday this year and we had heard some good reveiews about it. When we went in, the seating hostess wanted to seat us outside in 40 degree weather, mind you it was February. She rolled her eyes at me when I told her it was too cold and huffed and puffed. I then asked her if we could sit at a booth and she told me she couldn't "waste" giving a booth to just 2 people. At that point I would have left but we were too hungry, So we sat down to eat and the waiter didn't bring any water or any bread to our table, just came over and asked "What do we want?"(nice way to order). He never asked once if the food was ok or if we needed anything. It was the worst service I ever had at a restaurant and I would NEVER return there. The food was good but nothing special, it is even a bit pricey for sitting as crowdedly as we did. Eggs Benedict and red potatoes for home fries. Nothing original.

Cons: Not a nice person in the place.

A miniaturized downtown restaurant that serves flashy "Mom" food of outsized flavor.  See the full editorial review.
