Homestead on the Roof

Just horrible. Service was painfully slow. We ordered 2 small dishes and one medium dish. All 3 came out at the same time when the waitress said it would be...

Came in for the Filipino food iteration. Beautiful rooftop space. We shared the pandesal, papaya salad, sinigang, and the shrimp and pork lumpia. We had also ordered the manok but didn’t eat that on site. The food and drinks took an extremely long time to arrive at the table. Our server remarked on that fact a number of times. It was extremely loud on the rooftop with both the music and a number of large parties so it was hard to communicate with our server. He did his best given the circumstances. When the food finally arrived, it was delicious. However, the wait times were so long that our server brought our check before the Manok had arrived at our table. We took it home in takeaway boxes. Additionally, someone bussing a table nearby spilled water on me and only remarked “it’s just water” and walked away. They did not help clear the spill on our table nor offer me a towel/napkin to remedy the situation which was rather off putting.

It is an interesting restaurant. Seems family style and not part of a bigger chain restaurant. The food was good especially the mussels and bass meals. My only gripe was the waiter informed us that the chef cooks all the meals ordered at once (ie entrees and mains will come out together). We were seated on a very small table that could not contain all the dishes at once. Given they know how big their dishes and plates are you’d hope they’d have bigger tables throughout the restaurant, and not just a few that were already occupied. Between the two of us it made for a very uncomfortable squashed table receiving 2 large entree dishes as well as 2 mains dishes. This was made worse when our waiter brought our 2 large plates to dish the food into. There was much maneuvering to be done just to fit all the different plates/bowls on that tiny table, and eat. The chairs are also quite uncomfortable if you’re of a bigger girth. Other than that great food. They did call back to check if we were still coming for our reservation which was nice as we were running late and had tried calling them to notify them and got voicemail.

Romantic, great vibes, great fine dining…what more can you want. This rooftop blew me away considering this was my first time experience here. Homestead definitely is the spot. Food had great flavors and textures and the presentation was amazing. Will be visiting here again

Confusion. That's how I feel about this place. I may have been an isolated incident but I was generally confused about this place. Once I found out online...

This rooftop space is a hidden gem! It's enclosed and quiet. The service was great, and we learned it's only open from May to Sept- seasonal menu. The...

We had such an amazing time at Homestead! The bartenders were a lot of fun and made some delicious drinks. We had a big group and the manager, Dave, made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place for a group or a romantic date night!

This place is a absolutely wonderful!! I would highly recommend to any of my friends and will definitely be going back. Amazing food and service. Relaxing, beautiful atmosphere outside on the deck. I’ve lived in Chicago, NYC, and LA and this is one of the best places I’ve eaten at.

I've never had such great service at a restaurant as I did at homestead, the bartender, our server, other sections server, floor managers and others all stopped at our table to chat, give drink recommendations, offer amuse bouche, and to generally be friendly and welcoming. That alone blew us away now the food and drinks were next level, simply the best rib-eye steak I've had in years. The menu is very small and focused, however don't let that discourage you. Each item seems to have been made with the utmost passion, innovation and consideration for a discerning palet. Please keep up the good work we enjoyed every minute at your establishment. (Our server even offered to take this picture of us, without us even asking.)
