Just okay. And normally that wouldn't be a big deal but this place is so overhyped and after dining here I can truly say it's also over priced. I was really looking forward to eating here based on all the great reviews and made a reservation for a special occasion. To my great disappointment the food was bland, lacking any kind of oomph at all, and was extremely forgettable. That's a crime when you take into account the steep prices they charge, and an almost unforgivable one when you realize the great ingredients they work with. I just moved here from NY and the cliché is that chefs on the west coast don't try hard and have to be less creative, possibly due to the quality of ingredients here. Now, I've had plenty of experiences in LA, SF, and the East Bay to prove otherwise. Unfortunately this was not one of them. Wake up, Homestead, and try to get excited about the opportunity to not just serve great ingredients but also layer flavors to serve great composed dishes. My experience makes me wonder if your name is short for (eat at)Home(in)stead.
P.S. The flavors don't do my pictures justice.
