My friend and I went to Home before a movie at the IFC Center. The food was excellent, not amazing, but solid. There was a male waiter who walked by our table often, and because our waiter was nowhere to be found, we asked him for our check. Well, he sneered at us, refused to even acknowledge us, and walked away. A moment later he returned without our check. We asked him for it again and he sighed and angrily said, "I'm not your waiter." Someone should show the people at HOME the NYTimes article about good restaurant management. With all the fantastic restaurants in New York, why waste your time for treatment like this?

I popped into home on a weekend trip to New York for a lunch and found the food and service were great, I would have like to have returned for dinner but did not have time, I had the onion rings with a burger and the chocolate dessert which was to die for, I would recommend this restaurant.

but I thought two of the reviews were unfair. My daughter and I came down to the village to eat at Pearl's next door. Pearl's being closed we decided to try Home. We were pleasantly surprised. The menu was interesting. The service very good and the food was wonderful. I had the duck sweet potato hash. The duck was moist and plentiful and the hash was diced potatoes, not some mush. Mt eggs were sunny side up and done perfectly. My daughter had fried oysters which were done exactly as they should be. (I spent five years in the Chesapeake Bay area so I know from fried oysters). It was a very pleasant dining experience and we decided that we definitely would return to try their diner menu.

Excellent food! Cornelia Street is one of the best restaurant streets in Manhattan, and Home deserves to be included. Their dinner menu was fantastic. If you haven't been there, you should go!

I came here with my family on a Sunday night and told the waiter that we were in a rush. They were so helpful and served the food up as fast as one could want it. Not to mention the food itself was quite delicious. Would definitely recommend this place.

i would never eat here again. #1. it took forever to get waited on and to get the bread basket and to order, etc. we were basically just ignored while people who sate down after us ordered from the same waitress. #2. i got the french toast. it was basically 3 pieces of bread, slightly cooked on the outside but the inside was just like bread out of the bag from the supermarket. plain and soft and spongy. i ate one of the three pieces. the apple syrup was like baby food or apple sauce. the fruit side was uneventful. #3. every time we asked for something was like we were a nuisance. then, when we left the cash and the waitress just assumed the balance was her tip and didn't even bother to ask if we needed change.

O.K. I will just say that Home is not what it used to be. The menu is unimaginative at worst and ordinary and mediocre at best. In reading the posts that have accumulated I too agree that the brunch is not worth it. I hate that they serve old corn muffins from the day before and cold, hard butter when you are seated not to mention the cold, stale coffee. And yes I don't enjoy when several people's asses are in my face as I am trying to eat my meal as well. One must be on the thin side in order to manuver this tiny, crappy little hole. Also I think that the service is hit or miss. Most of the time my experiences are that the waitstaff are miserable. I have heard that the owners treat their staff pretty horribly thus leading to continual turnover. That alone speaks volumes about the place. When I used to come in there I noticed all new faces. And I don't mind spending good money for good food but there has to be new change implemented into the menu and atmosphere. Perhaps the owners will sell and there will be a new, more comfortable home. Do yourself a favor and pass on this folks. Trust me, you will thank me later.
