    Had an amazing experience. Food was top tier and service was exceptional. From the moment we sat down to the moment we got up wait staff was attentive and friendly and each dish from appetizers to dessert were made with care and attention to detail to where they were both visually appealing and tasted great. 10/10 would recommend

    My second time here for brunch and it did not disappoint. Had the egg bites which were delicious. My friend had the Bbbennie their take on eggs Benedict but served on a mini waffle which was also great. Service was very attentive. I have also been here for dinner which was equally as good. But unfortunately the place was not busy because it’s known as a breakfast lunch place. Dinner was very good too with nice options. Hope it gains traction with its night business. Good addition to town for dinner. Highly recommend.

    Everything was as expected for a premium steakhouse... The food, drinks and service were all excellent. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgable. Although it is not an inexpensive place to dine, the prices are typical of other high-end steakhouses.

    Went to Home last night for the first time and loved it. The front of the restaurant has a cozy bar with a fireplace and a room setup similar to a living room area. I had the signature home burger which was delicious and a spicy margarita made just perfect. Will definitely be going back.
