This place is a hidden gem among Listowel.
The food was presented very well and just what you would expect for fine dining. The temperature, and texture of the proteins and vegetables were spot on. You can tell the chefs here take pride in their dishes. I'd love to give a high five to the chefs because they nailed every palate I was expecting.
The etiquette from the waitresses was spot on. Every utensil was properly placed, the food was served from the correct sides, and the drinks were always being refreshed. I'd like to give both the ladies who served us a 10/10 and as a person who has fine dined many times in my life I would say this is the missing part in a lot of fine dining restaurants. Not at hom though! Great work ladies.
The atmosphere I can't speak enough about. It's truly a one of a kind experience. We had a rather large party and I can't believe I didn't take pictures but I'll be back to update my review with some. For me this is truly worth every penny you'll spend.
There is a reason this place won an award for one of the best businesses in town.
Kudos to the hom team. My hat is off for you all! 🙇♂️
Now my rant about low star reviews.
I find any of the low star reviews have nothing to do with the quality of the food, and/or the people have never fine dined as they're expectations of a large meal isn't how fine dining works and pricing is never based on the quantity but the quality. And the quality here is exactly what I would expect as a foodie.
People must remember giving a 1 star review is a slap in the face and if you have 1 thing wrong then you should bring it to their attention personally before you jump to a conclusion that the "wait time" is what made you upset but you're happy with everything else. Also if you're aiming for a low price point at a fine dining restaurant you may want to visit more fine dining restaurants because a special means its something special. If you aren't asking for the price that's on you. This is a new business so absolutely they'll have staffing issues during post covid. You'd think at this point we as humans can relate to this.
Quite disappointed that some local people here would do this to a place that truly is doing a...
Read moreWe just had take out at hom Restrauant
The staff was friendly polite and communicated with me in a pleasant fashion.
Wow what great flavors I had the Burrata to start. Oh my this wS created by a real expert the flavors were delightful. It included: fire roasted romesco – arugula pesto – concasse heirloom cherry tomatoes – balsamic reduction - EVOO – grilled baguette
We also ordered the PLAIN JANE hamburger.
I never had a gourmet burger before.
My wife declared this is the best hamburger she ever eaten, I agreed. As hamburgers go this should be in a category of its own. The meat was crazy good and so flavourable! The Plane Jane invluded: Canadian cheddar – candied bacon – house made ketchup – dijonaise – pickles – butter lettuce
Thank you so much we will diffintly be back with friend.
I took a picture of just the Burrata...every smelled delicious I couldn't wait!
Sorry I ate some of it before I took the...
Read moreAbsolutely blown away by the quality of food at hom. Listowel, enjoy this treasure before folks from the city discover it & it becomes difficult to get in, because BOY is this a gem.
The service, atmosphere & food are near perfect. Gnocchi fluffier than a cloud, desserts with such thought, care & technique. While I see complaints at the size of food, I think people are too used to "greasy spoon" & "crowd pleasing" restaurants in town. This is a quality over quantity restaurant, for sure (even though we both left with full stomachs, so no complaints on portion sizes from us.)
I will note that the selection of beer could be improved if at all possible, with Ontario local craft brews, that would be one small suggestion.
I could write an essay on how much my wife & I enjoyed our meal here. Will make this a monthly "date night" spot for years to...
