Reviews for The Homestead Restaurant + Lounge in Eldred, NY
We were so pleased with The Homestead while staying at The Bradstan. The food was fantastic, but the service was even better. We... ate here twice and went to the lounge three times. One of the nights we needed to eat late. We called to ask if they would serveus late, and Nadia told us to come right in despite their hours saying the kitchen was closed. Upon arrival, Sara was awonderful server and never made us feel badly about coming in so late. Truly a gem in this area! Read more

I went here recently with my family for dinner and it was such an amazing experience. We sat outside overlooking the beautifully... kept grounds in a very sleek and clean seating area. The server was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. I hadsome delicious bacon appetizer (our very kind server sold me as soon as I heard the word ?bacon?) that was full of flavor. Thetuna steak was incredible, the berry cheesecake is something I will get again and again, and the Argentinian Malbec wasperfect. The rest of my family enjoyed their meals and I?d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a relaxing night outwith delicious food. Read more
The gorgeous grounds, relaxing ambiance, great service and yummy wine selection are reason enough to come here for dinner, but... the food is also delicious! Happy to have an upscale option not from from our cabin. Read more
First the good: the place is gorgeous both inside and out. The cocktails were on point and the service was friendly. The... scallops and polenta were fantastic and the strip steak was properly cooked. There are however several areas that could standimprovement. The appetizers were ok, but nothing extraordinary. Stuffed mushrooms were lacking flavor. The bacon special wasundercooked. The clam dip, while tasting more of the fish than clam, was good. The desserts were below par. The peach cremebrulee, while tasting ok, had texture problems. The eggs were broken. It wasn't silky the way it should be. The parfait wasgeneric, but ok. The pecan tart was low on taste. The best of the bunch was the blueberry pie and that was fairly ordinary aswell. All in all the experience was lacking for the hefty prices charged. Our water glasses were never refilled, for instance.If you're going to charge premium prices, you need to provide premium service. And premium food. At half the price, this placewould be 5 stars. As it was, it's only 3. I wanted to love it, but I can't recommend it. Read more
I was at the Homestead this past weekend. Let me say if you're going to use another local steakhouses name, the food should be... equal or better. First I asked if the steaks would have a nice char on the outside, like the original Old Homestead did. I wasassured they would....they didn't. The cinnamon bread was lacking something...it was more like paste with cinnamon. The FrenchOnion soup had more croutons then onions. The steak fries tasted like left over baked potatoes that were deep fried. Yes, thesteaks were all cooked to the proper temperature, yes the service was good. The fit and finish of the dishes falls far short ofthe original steak house. If you've been to the original you will be disappointed. I'm sorry, I wanted to like this place, Idid. But it's nothing like the original. Read more
Had the best date with husband. We walked in and had bar service on the outside porch. Honestly felt like we were still having... dinner. Great food. Fantastic drinks. And atmosphere was very romantic and classy. Loved every moment of it. Read more
They must have changed because the first 3 times I went, the food was sub-par for an establishment of this caliber. We gave them... another shot and were pleasantly surprised. They are also open on Mondays. The GM Walter was very attentive and checked in on usbefore we left to make sure everything was ok. If you're looking to dine, be sure to have a reservation because you will not beseated for main dining without one. New bar menu is an absolute delight! They offer more items and have been offering deals ordifferent menus short term to see how to change it up a little. This time, it's a game day menu with wings, quesadillas andother small plates.
