Home is a cute little American comfort food style restaurant with several locations in LA. The Los Feliz location features a relaxing outdoor seating area with a Koi pond and a cozy coffee shop with plenty of outdoor seating. It's a great choice after visiting the Griffith Observatory or any other activities in the Hollywood area, due to the close proximity and casual setting.
A diverse menu, surprising affordability for the area, and a cozy setting would definitely bring me back. Home is a relaxing place for weekend brunch when you have the extra time to spare. It's also a perfect choice when you need a relaxing place to grab a bite to eat after driving in endless traffic and visiting busy tourist attractions all day.
Home features a diverse American menu with a little something for everyone. The breakfast menu is quite large and features all the standard favorites, along with gluten-free and vegetarian selections. Lunch includes all sorts of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. An order or 2 of deep fried pickles (using whole pickles as opposed to sliced) is definitely the way to go in terms of appetizers!
The Turkey Reuben sandwich with delicious waffle cut fries was an excellent choice. And, if you are in the mood for breakfast, the Veggie Lover plate is a nice choice. I would definitely order again. Recent breakfast entrees include: California Omelet, Fried Chicken, and a Breakfast Quesadilla. Recent breakfast entrees include: Mac and Cheese, Grilled Chicken Avocado sandwich, and a Vegan Burger. Recent dinner entrees include: Lemon Chicken Piccata, Tequila Lime Pasta, and Penne ala Vodka. There are more than enough options for everyone in your party at Home, including various gluten-free & vegetarian choices.
Service was pretty great here. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. The wait to get the food was a bit long, however, it was pretty busy and we did not mind at all sitting in the relaxing garden area.
The laid back setting at Home is definitely the highlight of a visit. The tranquil garden patio is truly a refreshing change of pace in an area overloaded with people, cars, business, and attractions. A Koi pond, pretty landscaping, and fountains allow you to escape the L.A. clutter, if just for an hour or 2. I really loved the ambiance here. It's rare to find such a gorgeous setting amidst a bustling city.
I would definitely visit Home again on my next L.A. trip. I loved the cozy little outdoor seating area. In such a hectic city, being able to relax, take our time, and enjoy our food in a non rushed setting was really a fantastic experience. The food at Home was great, prices were surprisingly affordable for the area, and the atmosphere was very attractive. I loved that they offered plenty of vegetarian options. What more could you look for in a great L.A. dining experience?!
