The Homestead Restaurant & Tavern
Reviews
Comfortable Family environment. Cozy Fireplace set tone for our Scrumptuous meal. Steak spring rolls crispy and delicious. Chicken pot pie, great portions, fresh juicy chicken. Steak tips were so juicy..melted in my mouth, finished with Turtle cheesecake! Waitress very friendly. Would highly recommend!
Food is ok. The lighting downstairs in the back area is awful. The rugs could use a good cleaning or even be replaced a different type of flooring that is brighter. Upstairs the music is good. It seems to be a hot spot for drinks. I, myself don't like the food. Wish Merrimack had another restaurant to choose from. Love Buckley's but that gets a little pricey. It's a nice treat once in a while.
Everything about this place is AMAZING. My wife and I go here at least a couple times a week. The service, atmosphere, food and drinks are always great. I can't recommend this place enough. Go there and enjoy!!!
We booked a part of 20 for a dinner. They gave us a room and only one server. Half the food didn't show up until the other people were done eating. I wouldn't do another event there, but I would stop by for a beer at the bar.
The atmosphere is very nice, and the decor is extremely well done. They even have a real fireplace roaring. However, my visit today leaved a lot to be desired. I am visiting the area for work, and as such I was going out to dinner by myself for a table for 1. I'm not sure if the service is like this for regular parties, but for me it was abysmal. I showed up and no one came by for a good 10 mins at the desk. When I was seated, it was another 15 minutes before anyone asked if I wanted anything to drink. The waitress asked me to order my drink, app, and main course at the same time to "save time". She then placed a plate of 4 crackers on my table. Every other table got the warmed up house bread on the table. It was another 15 minutes before I saw the appetizer, and the crackers didn't last long. This forced me to be the weird creepy guy sitting there staring off into space at the various couples and parties around me. Anyways, I got a delicious beer and was quite pleased with that. The goat cheese bread sticks was a bit iffy, but it's goat cheese so no harm on their side there. Now, I ordered the 9 ounce filet mignon medium rare, with a loaded mashed potato and a ceaser salad. After I ate half the goat cheese bread, I sat there for another 15 minutes or so. No one asked me how the goat cheese sticks were, or how anything was. I just sat there. So, then I was expecting my salad to be brought out. However, I was surprised to find them bring on out the steak and the potato. I was too annoyed to care at this point and figured the delicious steak would cheer me up. This was terrible thinking, despite the man the table over ranting and raving over what a perfect steak his was. My steak was supposed to be medium rare but it was closer to well done, with no pink at all. The crust of the steak (yes there was a crust) was of burnt charcoal. I ate a 1/3 of this before the lady came back about 20 minutes later. The potato by the way was average, but no one goes out to eat a potato. The lady comes back and asks how things were, I told her of my complain and she did offer me a fresh new steak. I declined the offer and asked for an expedited check so that I could leave instead. All in all, this place has great potential and maybe it is a great place to go. However the service I received was crap, and the food was awful too. Huge dislike!
