Home is a beautiful restaurant that flips the indoor to patio ratio around and is mostly outdoors, with small indoor rooms. The above picture doesn't really do it justice; visit their impressive website for better pictures of the outdoor seating area. It has wooden floors and tables, with birdhouse condiment caddies and heat lamps for the chilly evenings. The food is American with a few fancy flourishes.

Andrew Says: There are a few jokes you can't help but make while eating at Home: "I'm going to start eating at Home a lot more now," "I'm just going to stay at Home tonight," and "When I eat at Home, I like to get my order wrong." Sadly, this last joke was on us when our multi-grain salad arrived with the red onions inside, not on the side, as requested. Not a big enough deal to send it back, but irritating since I explained it was allergy-related. The salad itself was tasty, although the menu made it sound more flavorful than it turned out to be. We shared the salad with a plate of the spinach and cheese ravioli, which were very rich and delicious, smothered in an Alfredo sauce.
The menu was an odd mix of intriguing creativity and incredibly cliched items. The appetizer menu, in particular, reads like every chain restaurant you've ever sat in, featuring dusty classics like Santa Fe Egg Rolls, Jalepeno Poppers, and Chicken Tenders. To be fair, I didn't try any of the appetizers, and perhaps the kitchen has their own wondrous way with them, but there was nothing in their description to entice me.
As a whole the restaurant's ambiance is so enjoyable and relaxing that I plan on returning, at least a few more times.
Overall: 4/5
Veg Friendly: There are some creative veggie options like a veggie 'meatloaf' and a tofu breakfast burrito, and plenty of salads.
Dog Friendly: Perhaps overly so, a table near us had three dogs that were out of control.
Cost: Dinner for two with water, $30
