Homestead On The Roof

Amazing!! This place was such a lovely and charming garden rooftop. It’s tucked away above Roots Pizza, giving it almost an exclusive vibe. Good for any occasion - dates, friend groups, business groups, etc. The food was amazing and yummy!! We loved every single dish and drink. Don’t overlook this place when nabbing a dinner reservation. I would put it up against many other nice “white table cloth” type restaurants, in the city.

Oh my was this a huge disappointment. Have been wanting to check this place out for a while. Ordered small plates and temperanillo. Vibe is cute but that’s sort of where it ended for our experience. The wine was the only part of the meal worth buying. I knew the second the ‘summer salad’ was brought out that we had made a mistake. $14 for a single tasteless underdressed tomato+ an orange sliced up and missing other ingredients, it was laughable. We also got the potatoes (fine, nothing special) and the broccolini. The saffron cream tasted awful and the broccoli I was barely cooked. It was inedible. I got 2 tacos, which were better: carne and pork. So my thought is they do meat well, so it could be entirely different if you get an entree; but otherwise I wanted to cancel the order and le

Came in for the Filipino food iteration. Beautiful rooftop space. We shared the pandesal, papaya salad, sinigang, and the shrimp and pork lumpia. We had also ordered the manok but didn’t eat that on site. The food and drinks took an extremely long time to arrive at the table. Our server remarked on that fact a number of times. It was extremely loud on the rooftop with both the music and a number of large parties so it was hard to communicate with our server. He did his best given the circumstances. When the food finally arrived, it was delicious. However, the wait times were so long that our server brought our check before the Manok had arrived at our table. We took it home in takeaway boxes. Additionally, someone bussing a table nearby spilled water on me and only remarked “it’s just

Had the opportunity of dining at a beautiful hidden gem in wicker park. Homestead on the roof definitely is a must. Service is not top tier but friendly. The food was so good! Legit everything we ordered we ate and loved. We started off with the croquettes, presentation super cute and flavor wise- so delicious. Medium plates we did go for the charred octopus and shishito peppers. The Octopus was barely charred definitely needed a bit more time on the grill as did the shishito peppers, however, as food techniques are important so is flavor and homestead definitely has a great palate. Entrees I had to have the scallops and my partner had the Roasted half chicken and we ordered the Duck rice as a side! SOOO GOOD. Scallops and chicken to die for but the duck rice?? SUPERB. Blew my mind how del

We’ve made a tradition out of going to Homestead every summer, and this summer did not disappoint! I like things spicy, so I appreciated the spice levels of the pork belly and potatoes. My favorite dish out of our order was the scallops! I’m excited to come back next year for a whole different menu.
