The food and service were very good. However, the heat was not working on a very cod, below-freezing night. Our party of six needed to wear our winter coats while dining.

There were four of us in for a Sunday brunch in a restaurant with two other tables. It took 45 minutes for the scrambled eggs and bacon dishes to be served. 7 minutes later the Benedict dish was served. 5 minutes after that the eggs over medium with bacon were served. All toast was cold, the Benedict eggs were poached to medium hard, all bacon was slimy. The breakfast potatoes were hot, a high point.

Horrible service. They ran out of vegetables? Told us we were too loud in a private room. Glasses were dirty.

The Homestead Room offers old school charm and elegance, with a warmth and coziness that make this a perfect choice to spend a relaxing and comfort food dinner, lunch, or breakfast. Service is good, although understaffed; meals were high quality, tasty, and worth the wait.

Overrated, overpraised, understaffed. We had 1 appetizer for the table, 3 main courses, and 2 desserts. This took two hours. We waited 40 minutes for the main courses, then 30 minutes for dessert. We were told it was being "cooked." It was served cold. There was 1 server in the dining room, which for the first hour we were there was mostly empty. I can't recall such lousy service anywhere in Evanston. The food was average to good, but nothing special. The best was the cheeseburger, with nice fries. The gnocchi on the menu was not available and our guest had to settle for a different preparation. The dessert selection is extremely limited, just 3, and the one we picked (apple) was indifferent, tough fruit that could hardly be cut with a regular knife. When we paid for parking, the person at the desk was thinking about charging us for more than 2 hours ($15) but luckily did not. It seems that we were in there for half a day. Never going back.
