    We've had the brunch in the past and it was very good. Everyone at the table agreed, though, that the food was so-so and the service was pretty bad.

    1. Water glasses were dirty and cracked. 2. Silverware was not properly washed. 3. Server had one too many tables to attend. Fix that. Nice place regardless.

    Good food. Average portion sizes. Service was a bit slow because of some very large parties that were seated before us. The waitress was so apologetic even though it wasn’t her fault. Good cocktails and nice atmosphere, though our table had a spotlight on it.

    We were underwhelmed with the service and food. This was so disappointing because the menu seemed to have so much potential. It even seemed vegetarian friendly which was a requirement. I had the risotto which had no flavor. I was able to slightly improve it with salt and pepper that I had get myself. ( none on the table and no one around) My wife had the farro salad which looked good on the menu but again, had no flavor. It seemed like it was dressed only in a very neutral oil (grape seed?). Again, S&P saved the day. The ingredients in the salad were actually good but needed a little acid or something to brighten it up. The pork belly appetizer was great. We had ordered a side of roasted vegetables that came out after we had finished eating. This was during happy hour and the bar side of the restaurant was packed. It seems like a place with potential but they need to find some flavor and service for the food side.

    Cool space, but very disorganized. Had four people for dinner. Server was a very pleasant person. We ordered quickly & waited for a long time to be served. In fact people seated after us received their entrees before us. When we were served only 3 of the 4 dishes came out. Had to wait again for fourth entree. I was so angry I cannot honestly comment on the taste of the food. When I told the server I just wanted the bill so I could get out of there. She called over a manager. The manager too, was very polite. I told her I thought the restaurant has to review their systems because they really performed poorly that evening

    Just stopped in for an early Valentine’s Day dinner. Service was great, ambience is fun, but the food was so so disappointing. Ordered the burrata and beet salad and what came was about 4 bites of cheese and bits with lettuce thrown on top and no mixing of dressing. Taste was meh and presentation and value terrible. Next, I ordered the butternut squash risotto for $17 and again what came was maaaaaybe a cup of food spread out thin to look like more. The worst part was the taste. It had none except strong raw garlic. I love garlic and this was so overpowering. In fact, I found several large chucks of raw garlic in the food. I had 1 of 2 bites and sent it back. Our server was very understanding. However, a general manager came over and was quite short with us. She seemed irritated with us and made us feel like those annoying people who serve food back just to be annoying. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for years so it takes a lot for me to complain and I also know what’s fair to expect for a basic level of hospitality and they fell short. Won’t be going back.

    Food was good. Server was not. He forgot to input our appetizer, and seemed unconcerned that the food showed up first. He didn’t seem to care, but did sown his mistake. He never returned to check on us, until we were finished with dinner. Asked if we wanted dessert, handed us a bill. No apology. No attempt to make it right. The food runner was really good. Seemed more attentive and concerned than anyone. Maybe promote him to server. The food was good. The decor is fantastic.

    Homestead never disappoints. This is my "go to" Monday brunch spot for meetings, with friends or sometimes just to work when I need to get out the house. When I make a reservation, they always know who I am when walking through the door and address me by name when providing service. It's a great touch that impresses clients and friends alike. The food is always amazing and a great value (all entrees under $20). I even get my mimosas with pineapple for no extra charge! A definite plus in my book.

    Food is great but I did get a call before my reservation that OpenTable had booked me outside which wasn’t open and they wouldn’t have a table available for another 45 minutes. I got there 45 minutes later and they still didn’t have a table available because another party wasn’t leaving. It’s not really their fault and they offered me a free drink which was nice. All that to say, make sure you make a reservation and maybe call to follow up.

    The service was great (and that says something for DC) but the food is just average and definitely not commensurate with the prices. I tried this place years ago when it opened and remember having the same thoughts. After a few years I thought I’d give it another try. Unlikely that I will go back.
