Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, this cozy cafe champions seasonal farm-to-table fare, offering a creative menu and a welcoming vibe just steps from downtown.
"Homage serves casual farm-to-table cuisine, combining high-end food with an approachable setting and affordable prices. The restaurant pays “homage” to local farms and the people behind them, taking their fresh produce and highlighting flavors in unique dishes. The hyper-seasonal menu is eclectic and changes based on the local farm highlighted at the time. Founder and Executive Chef, David Kurtz wouldn’t classify his menu as being “Californian,” but rather one that is experimental and creative – derived from the source and its relationship with local farmers. You’ll find a range of different bites, such as the Heritage Pork “Cubano” or freshly rolled Potato Gnocchi.Tucked in a nondescript cul-de-sac, the restaurant is very quiet and peaceful – away from Market Street panhandling + tourists (who are lost looking for the cable car or Chinatown). Inside, you are greeted by raw wood floors and cute mosaic like decor, almost like you were walking into someone’s home or kitchen. You feel right at home in the midst of a busy downtown. Bonus: come back during Twilight Hours for small eats and wine (Kurtz is a level 2 somm!)." - outlier

"Its diminutive size sets it apart from the much larger, original Homage at 88 Hardie Place, seating 38 diners inside and on the sidewalk." - Ellen Fort
"The premise of this place is that each month they pay homage (see what they did there?) to a Bay Area farm, bringing in most of their produce from that one grower. The menu changes regularly, but you’ll find breakfasts of various sizes (from pastries to eggs and French toast), lunch dishes including salads and tartines, and evening snacking options like oysters, bruschetta, and charcuterie." - Taylor Abrams
