| - I've been waiting for this place to open for quite sometime. I work in Homestead and drive by frequently and was tickled to see the "Open" sign lit up in the window a few weeks back.
Last night, I accompanied my mom to dinner here and was delighted the moment I walked in the door. The ambiance has a mixed feel of comfort and flash. The warm greeting we were given by the bartender set the best tone. Taking in the large glittering crystal chandelier above, contrasted with the bare bones brick walls was a great touch. It felt warm, inviting, and still hip enough to make me want to return. We discovered they just had their grand opening last night.
If comfort food is their goal, they reached it. I like fine dining, but also enjoy the staples - and again - Dorothy 6 seemed to mix the two. We split a large beet and arugula salad and was the kitchen obliged by plating it beautifully on two separate dishes for us - with no extra charge or fuss. I wish I had taken a picture, because it was presented so nicely. Sliced beets gave the foundation to a mountain of arugula, dried cranberries, and sliced toasted almonds. I chose the 8 oz strip with bacon brussels and mashed potatoes, mom had the salmon croquettes with the fall vegetable hash. My strip steak was juicy, and prepared perfectly rare. The brussels were also great, and my mouth watered with the flavors of bacon interspersed in the veggies. The mashed potatoes seemed a bit flat though, and I had to add salt, and they could have been a bit more savory for my palate. But in all, it was a perfectly comforting dish. Mom really enjoyed the salmon croquettes and made a comment about the colorful display of the veggie hash.
We did NOT have room for the dessert - apple pie was offered by the very friendly wait staff - but I think I will be back to sample that at another time.
The service was very attentive, friendly, jovial, and knowledgeable. I ordered a Moscow Mule cocktail, and asked it to be returned to add a splash more ginger beer, and they chided the bartender playfully about it. The wine selection was just enough...sometimes restaurants can get a bit too much with their choices, and the array was diverse enough to give us options, but not overwhelming to the point where we had to take a half hour to study it.
In all, I was very pleased by the experience as was my mom who said she was shocked such a place existed in Homestead. I am thrilled to see more locally owned establishments coming into this area!! Its a welcome break from the flash of the big chain eateries across the tracks. I will indeed return, and also tell my coworkers and friends to visit as well.
