| - Favourite Dish: Bison Tartar
I've been to Home Tasting Room four times now. I found that when they were newer the food was better and more impressive (which is typical). The first time I went was about three months after they had opened and I was definitely impressed. The second and third time, the food was average. The fourth time, which was pretty recent, was quite disappointing. I would say with my four experiences dining with Home Tasting Room, that the restaurant is an average place, while the food is not terrible nothing really stands out. I've also found that with my four visits, of the three, I've never been tempted to order any desserts! This is pretty rare because I usually know what I want for dessert before I order my main course!
The first time I went to this restaurant I really enjoyed the Pacific Scallops with Brown Butter & Winter Squash, however, they took that off the menu. On my fourth time at this restaurant my boyfriend and I ordered the Bison Tartar, Chive & Ricotta Gnocchi and the Charcuterie Tasting Board. I enjoyed the Bison Tartar, it was fresh, soft and creamy. The presentation of the Chive & Ricotta Gnocchi was not very appetizing, but tasted decent and the Charcuterie board was mediocre - it didn't really standout from any other board.
The restaurant itself has a very warm and homey ambience and the service is quite comparable to most upscale restaurants. I like their concept of "shared plates", but with my recent visit to this restaurant it is no longer on my top list of restaurants to dine at.
