Home Restaurant

Home is a restaurant located in the west village of NYC. They're a typical west village restaurant with dim lighting, a homely rustic feel, and good quality food. The restaurant prides itself on choosing local ingredients.

I thought the tables were squished too tightly together - there's hardly any space at all between the tables. That's pretty typical in NYC, but Home was worse than most. Fortunately, not all the tables were full when we visited so we had an acceptable amount of room.

Reservations

We arrived around 7pm on a Friday evening without a reservation and didn't have a problem getting a table. It got a bit busier around 8pm, but there were still tables available.

Items Ordered

Today's Soup

Soup

The soup of the day was a lentil soup with pieces of chicken and bacon. It had a hearty rich feel and tasted mostly like lentil soup with a hint of smokiness. It was very salty and also quite filling.

Arugula Salad

Arugula Salad

The arugula salad was a pretty good salad. There was a decent amount of squash, pecans, and cheese that helped keep each bite interesting. The squash and pecans paired nicely with the dressing and resulted in a very sweet salad.

Warm Farro

Warm Farro

Farro seems to imprecisely refer to different types of grains depending on who you ask. In this dish, the farro was just whole kernels of wheat. The grains were cooked until soft and mixed with squash, cranberries, and hazelnuts. The dish was very oily. Although it was good, it wasn't one of my favorites. It didn't feel as hearty as the pork chop, but all the oil prevented it from being a light alternative.

Molasses Pork Chop

Pork Chop

This dish was quite good, and the brussel sprouts and onion rings made it feel like a 'whole meal'. Unfortunately, I found the pork to be too dry. It would have been perfect if it were served with a sauce, but was lacking on its own. The bacon gave the brussel sprouts a nice salty taste, and the onion rings were very soft and flaky. They came with a curried ketchup.
