Modern Homestead

I was looking forward to dining at the Modern Homestead with friends for the March Cozy Dinner, and came away sorely disappointed. For four people, dining and tip included it was close to $200 and I expected at that price something much better. While the restaurant has a lot of character, the table we were seated at should have only held two people. Even after removing the flowers, candle, sugars, etc., our utensils, plates and glassware was cramped onto the table to the point that everyones place setting was touching each others. For the dinner, I felt like the price of $40 was over priced for the meal. The beverage options were water with dinner and coffee with dessert. You are able to BYOB. The salad dressing was good, but the pickled onions were missing and honestly, it was organic spring greens, english cucumber and cherry tomatoes that can be purchased at any supermarket. Nothing special. The chicken had a good flavor, but was over cooked and dry. The green beans were okay and the rice was decent. I was excited for the dessert and it was listed as a Lemon Meyer cake with whipped cream. It should have stated a Lemon Meyer pound cake and NO whipped cream was on the plate or offered. With our table paying close to $200 total for the meal, (tip included) we all felt disappointed and will not return. I wish it would have been different as I prefer local restaurants.

Very nice Valentines Day dinner. Aside from the excellent service, I was impressed with how all the food was different than ordinary in a good way. You won't find these kinds of dishes at the chain restaurants. I highly recommend Modern Homestead for special dinners in a classy but not stuffy atmosphere.

A delightful drive into the country to be served a delicious meal by a very attentive server. Salad with fresh greens, locally raised chicken and a sumptuous desert. Intimate.

Our party of three had a great time at the cozy harvest dinner. The set menu was delicious, not the usual same old options. The portions were generous, two of our party took food home. The service was excellent, attentive without hovering. They had great music playing. Everyone did some shopping after the meal and we all enjoyed our experience very much.

These dinners are charming and sophisticated in a rustic atmosphere. Nothing compares in this area. Always a special evening.

Thank you to Trellis for his wonderful tasty creole menu. We totally loved it.
Next time we will do the BYOB as many folks did...
Believe me we were very full & very satisfied.
Thank you again ..

Delightful! And I plan to buy all my WV and MD plants from their awesome nursery.

Great food and service! So happy we found this cozy place. We will definitely be back!

Don’t miss any of the New Orleans themed monthly dinners at Modern Homestead. You’ll regret it!

All of our courses were absolutely amazing! We will come back every month that they offer!!

We love the monthly dinners at Modern Homestead. This month was a perfectly seared steak and a beautiful cheese board. To die for!

Another wonderful monthly dinner at Modern Homestead. The food and service was amazing as always!

Delicious, as usual!

We love the Cozy Dinners at Modern Homestead, and the last one was one of my favorites (turkey lasagna). The food is always well-prepared and tasty. The atmosphere is unique and conducive to conversation. The seated is limited to small groups (6 or less), but this is never a problem for us. Plan ahead and make reservations. We look forward to these dinners every month.

We had another wonderful meal prepared by Trellis at Modern Homestead for Valentine's Day. The food and service was impeccable. It's worth every penny for a once a month splurge and a meal fit for a foodie. Can't wait to go back!

Awesome dining experience. Great food, excellent atmosphere. We love Modern Homestead.

Wonderful experience. Hope they expand and have dinners more often. I'll be back.

Wonderful meal as always by Trellis - excellent, friendly, helpful servers and great ambiance. Highly recommended; we will return often.

We so look forward to their monthly dinners! Other then home- the only place we care to eat! An absolute GEM!

This was my first time trying the monthly dinner at Modern Homestead, and I'm so glad I did. It was such a treat! The atmosphere is quaint & romantic. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Each phase of the meal was delicious and beautifully plated. I'm still dreaming about the lemon tart that concluded the meal as dessert. I also loved the fact that it was BYOB. We'll definitely return! Make sure you have a reservation.

Very nice location. Friendly and kind staff. The food is amazing. And I love the charm.

We highly recommend this restaurant, which is part of a top-notch nursery and full of flowers and wonderful gardening and cooking items. The lovely owners are always friendly and welcoming; the service is exceptional; and the food is excellent. An interesting author was present for the dinner we attended along with two fine musicians so we got to meet and talk with the author (and happily bought a book) and listen to very special music. We will certainly return, as we have done often in the past (in fact, I returned the next day to buy some perennials) - a perfect place. Lucas and Trellis are the best! Thank you!

Always enjoy their cozy dinners in a relaxed atmosphere that is enhanced by the friendly, attentive staff and owners. Added touches like book signings and live music provide even more charm.

wonderful and worth the drive, a true hidden gem and hosts/owners are lovely.

Dining at Modern Homestead is always a pleasure. I usually meeting interesting people there. Dining is at leisurely pace, the food beautiful and tasty, educated and charming staff. Sometimes there is a chance to visit with Trellis the Chef and Lucas who grows the many beautiful plants available at this Preston County gem!

Fantastic! I can't say enough great things about this team of entrepreneurs! Lucas Tatham and Trellis Smith are so welcoming, the perfect hosts! Dinner was delicious and the ambiance of the little shop was so cozy and inviting! I can't wait until spring! Those greenhouses are calling my name! Great job guys, we'll be back! Your friend from Texas!

Wonderful, welcoming and friendly. The owners are a delight and it is safe and comfortable space for all travelers.

Trellis always does a fine job with presentation, service and inventive, delicious food. The rhubarb sorbet was particularly memorable.

Great atmosphere not far from Morgantown at all. The drive to Reedsville also very nice. The Homestead is a quiet place for dinner. Awesome eats and even better coffee! Totally worth the drive and time.

The dinners at Modern Homestead all always delicious and the service is great.
