Birthday Dinner! Started with The G.O.A.T Martini. An order of their Drunken Meatballs with Carmelized Onions & Grits the grits were perfect probably the best I've had in a while. Cup of Creamy Potato Soup Rich and delicious My wife ordered the Brussel Sprout Ceasar Salad and I ordered the Apple Cider Smoked Short Ribs with Roasted Garlic Mashed Short Ribs were very tender and flavorful with just a hint of the Apple Cider & a mild smokiness the garlic mashed is a perfect addition along with the gravy I personally would of liked a little more gravy. Kaitlin our server was outstanding and very helpful in making choices. Home 231 is very relaxing and their booths and tables are very spacious and comfortable. There is a small bar that could fit maybe 10-12 and the bar is a full bar! This was the 2nd time I've been here and do plan more visits. Was a perfect dinner on my BD. read more

I stumbled on this spot while exploring and it was such an incredible little bar. When I first walked in, I was surprised at how small of a space it was. I was a little nervous because the bar was so little. But small quickly turned into charming. The bartender was such a great guy! He was super helpful and sweet. He helped me choose my drinks then he and a couple of regulars gave me the scoop on the area. I was by myself so I needed to get the scoop on safe areas and areas to avoid. It was nice to know I was in a fairly safe area and could walk around and explore. I had dinner plans for later so I just ordered a charcuterie board. But if you know me at all, that's enough to make me super happy! I definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Fantastic! We came here and happily discovered it was restaurant week! Got a cute table in the front looking out at the street, great people watching. Their restaurant week menu was fabulous! Got the lobster ball appetizer, short rib pasta and strawberries and cream with Italian lady fingers. Their craft cocktails are fabulous! I would definitely come back here. Street parking is easy to find and free. read more

Finally visited here for an intimate dinner, highly recommended!! I got the pan fried halibut over a white bean and kale broth/stew. Delicious! I couldn't eat the whole thing. Service was great, there was a large party so our server made sure to communicate with us about how long things would take, which was appreciated. Pricey but well worth it, great date night place. read more

Our realtor recommended and, yes, definitely recommend. They had a good menu, everything we tried was good. Our server was very helpful in helping us decide because... everything sounded delicious. I was intrigued with their spin on using Korean cuisine, but I ended up not ordering those dishes. However, I did find that some of the dishes on the menu were a bit overpriced. Otherwise, I'll be coming back to try more dishes on that menu! My burger was delicious, my husband liked his order. I wasn't super impressed by the apps, but the main dishes were good. :) read more

I was told this place had great food. The waiter told me the Pork Kan-Kan was a Porkchop. I've never seen a Porkchop shaped liked that. It was too fatty and flavorless. The Korean Ribs were good but it wasn't enough to share at all. The donuts were good but that's not enough for me to go back to this place. read more

A cute little restaurant nestled away from the State Museum and State Capitol with plenty of food for those who like meat and seafood dishes. I found them while walking around the neighbourhood and thought I'd make a reservation for later in the evening so I could enjoy it. Here's what I got: - Blackened octopus: Roasted potatoes, red peppers, caramelised onion, capers, and blackened octopus. $16. This octopus was a tad overcooked for me but it was a hearty meal with plenty of octopus legs thrown in - three if I remember correctly. I'd like to try this again when I'm back as it was a good balance between the vegetables and the octopus, though I'd probably ask to forego the capers as they overpowered the dish and the bites they were in. - Deviled eggs: Three different types - pickled onion, truffle, and classic. $10. I love a good deviled egg and when I saw that they had three different options as an appetizer, I had to get it. There was so much filling and each one was delicious. My favourite was the truffle followed by the classic and then the pickled onion. It was served on top of a bed of rocket/arugula and that was a refreshing palate cleanser of sorts between bites or even a fresh inclusion with the bites. - Crusted goat cheese: Whipped goat cheese, asparagus spinach, truffle honey, and almonds. $13. You can't go wrong with goat cheese, and when you fry it? Simply divine! Get this. - Oxtail pierogies: With smoked tomato jam. $14. I was very intrigued by this dish because my Polish family has set a certain standard for pierogies, and the oxtail option was something I wanted to try out as I've never thought to have the two combined in any way before. The dish consists of traditional pierogies, with oxtail meat on top. To be honest, this wasn't my thing - I'd actually want this as two separate dishes - the oxtail didn't go with the pierogies at all; it would have been better served on top of a patty dough or even a paratha/buss-up/crispy cracker instead. Individually, the two were really good, wtih the pierogies being extremely light and fluffy inside, and just the right amount of crispy on the outside. The oxtail was braised (I think) and falling apart, so certainly very delicious every bite I had. - Grapefruit mocktail: Grapefruit with rosemary, agave, and seltzer. $6. My server who was also the bartender made this and although I would have appreciated much less ice, this was really good. I'd come back for this, but ask for light ask, and enjoy it with the goat cheese and deviled eggs - worth it! Service was fast, with food coming out as it was made - my server asked if I had a preference and I said as it was cooked, so if you want yours staggered, you can certainly ask for it. I sat inside, but they have limited outdoor seating in the front and more in the back, with bar seating available too. It's slightly dimly lit inside, but not so much that you're straining to see face or the food; and there was music playing, but nothing too loud where you couldn't carry a conversation if you wanted. Since it was just me, I was happy with everything. I can't speak for ease of parking since I walked here, but I did see a dedicated parking lot for them on the same block. read more

An amazing culinary experience!!!! We were in the area for a Hershey weekend and our 2 other picks did not have reservations and I am happy they didn't! This is a quaint little restaurant with amazing dishes. The decor was nice and the ambiance relaxing. Our server Kaitlyn 222 was sweet, attentive and really took great care of us. We ordered a few starters to sample and a couple of mains. There was another super nice server Lavon that made us aware their menu is seasonal so I will be back for sure!!! What we ordered: Lobster papa rellenas so full of lobster and a nice aioli to go with it. Wagyu meatballs with polenta was delicious. Grilled octopus with capers and veggies was divine. For mains we opted for the scallops on a bed of curry cauliflower purée that was scrumptious as well as the fresh made pasta. To complete the meal we did the home made trio of ice cream which was delicious. Oh and how can I forget their creative drinks we got the hot sweet little thing lol I know I screwed the name up but it was sooooooo good. Do yourself a pleasure and go! Enjoy! Oh yeah and the Brussels sprout Caesar salad is a must!!! read more

This restaurant is nothing short of incredible. Between the overly accommodating staff, that was willing and able to not only break down our bill into 5 separate checks for our group, but also offered to portion out appetizers into five servings AND unsolicitedly offered to divide the cost of the table's appetizers amongst the five checks, and the amazing food, this place gets five stars all around! Wish I could give six. We started with a few appetizers, specifically the lamb birria tacos, Korean boneless pork ribs, crab mac and cheese, and the blackened octopus. Paired them with an old fashioned for good measure, which was smoked and hit with a nice touch of amaretto. All of the apps were fantastic. Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd have to go with the crab mac and cheese. Most of the table ordered the smoked short rib as the main course, but one of our crew decided on the pork kan-kan, which he was gracious enough to offer me some of after it came out. It's a dish you'd be hard pressed to get anywhere else, so I'd highly recommend it on that point alone. If it's not your thing though, the short rib and its bed of grits were delightful. Ended the night with several different deserts, including the donuts, churro stacks with ice cream, mocha cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Couldn't go wrong with any of them. Well done! read more

Nice little spot in downtown Harrisburg. Ordered the deviled eggs and Brussel sprout Caesar. Deviled eggs were delicious, and came in three varieties: pickled, fried, traditional. Lots of filling, which itself was very light. Brussel sprout Caesar was possibly the best salad I've had. Brussel sprouts were a combination of shaved and sautéed. They were a great addition to a classic dish. Very very tasty. Service was friendly, but a bit slow and inattentive. This seemed to be isolated to my waiter however, as others who had my waiter had to get up to get his attention. Other waitstaff appeared to be very attentive to their guests and helpful on menu items. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Absolutely delicious. I would definitely go back. The food was perfect: grilled octopus and roasted vegetable board were very filling. We weren't too hungry so we got that and desserts. We loved loved loved the banana foster merengue but if you don't like merengue you may not like it bc there is a lot of merengue. The only reason why I gave the 4 is because there was a smell (almost like a barn odor). It didn't bother us enough to want to leave, but there definitely was an odor read more

The mixologist here is excellent -- Bravo, Sean-Michael! Our party of 5 sampled a good cross-section of the cocktail menu and all drinks were solid. Top pick for a Fall to Winter drink (since that's where we're headed): "It's All Downhill From Here." Service was friendly and knowledgeable -- Great job, Riley! The restaurant wasn't too busy, so I expected the drinks and food to come more quickly. We were super hungry when we got there, so a bread basket or something along those lines to tide us over would've been appreciated. We had a good assortment of food too (photos below) and it was solid. High prices -- in line with what we pay in the NYC area, but the servings are generous. My favorite dish was actually the fish tacos, which I got as an appetizer. It's rare to find fish tacos that aren't fried, so I was psyched! They were super filling -- in reality, I really didn't need a full entree afterward, but I didn't know that when I was ordering. That said, the crab cake entree was delicious. The latkes served with them could be a less massive and heavy and more refined, in my opinion. The tomato jam was spot on, though. If you've not been, give it a try! read more

Delightful brunch at Home 231 today. Ease of reservation is good, and while the restaurant was busy, getting a suitable time for three wasn't difficult. We started with 231 Bloodies and a Mimosa, all excellent. Plates of French toast dippers and Smoked Salmon toast were next up, and they were delicious. We had the Eggs Benedict w/speck, Smoked salmon and eggs, and Huevos Rancheros for our mains. The salmon eggs were a substantial serving, and all dishes were very tasty. Home 231 is still one of the best brunch spots downtown, especially on a Sunday. Many thanks to Brandon, whose warm and professional service made the dining experience that much better! read more

While in town for business recently, we had dinner at Home 231 and it was great! Started with a few different appetizers, including the recommended Grilled Octopus, Lobster Roll Tostones and fried risotto balls. All three were really good but the octopus was my favorite. Chose the Ahi Tuna special that came with succotash, added one of the their well-known crab cakes, that was recommended by our OUTSTANDING server Brandon. Great recommendations given the entire meal for drinks, appetizers, main courses and even dessert (homemade donuts).

We enjoyed our meal with one exception we told the server we could handle anything hot. Ordered the Korean ribs for first time and must have missed something because they were hot.

Wow - I've been wanting to visit for years ... so when the opportunity for brunch came up, I jumped all over it. We got a table for 2 on a Sunday AM even w/ no reservation during COVID restrictions ... felt pretty lucky. The coffee was on point. The raspberry mimosa was also on point. My son asked for chocolate milk, and when the waiter/bartender said "I can make that for you" ... my son said "You KNOW you're a good place now" They even brought a tiny pitcher of chocolate syrup to add more if wanted. I got the Huevos Rancheros ... and it was the best I've ever had ... full of flavor and texture. My son got a basic breakfast of bacon eggs and toast ... and it too was the 'best ever' (said my son). Excellent all the way around ... can't wait to hit them up for dinner! read more

Came back after 8 years to a very disappointing meal. Perhaps the chef was out of town. Steak was undercooked and a poor cutevening. With a rubbery texture. Wife's "blackened" swordfish was merely spiced - not blackened. "Blackened" grits were muck. The Nashville wings were merely fried wings with cayenne pepper. An awful dinner... and we were left with no choice due to a theater commitment that wvening. read more

The food was very good ( minus the doughnuts). Service was kind. Nice staff. Coop server (don't blame him as he was slammed) The challenge was it was just really really slow. We were there for over two hours and 15 minutes for dinner. We had two kids so it was tough. 30 minute for a glass of wine. Hour for appetizers and bread. Had to rush eating dinner as we were there for so long. 7:35 arrival. Got out a little before 10pm. We had to ask where our food was at one point and no one ever acknowledged it took a long time before or after. Just a quick hey sorry it's coming out soon or sorry it took a long time would have went a long way. We understand. We spent over $350 and expected a little more courtesy for our time. Just an update would have been fine. read more

Food was amazing! We started with the lobster Mac and cheese which had truffle and it was to die for. Husband had the rueben and I had a regular burger which was also delicious.

We overheard her recommending their cheesecake to another guest so we decided to try it out and it did not disappoint. The cheesecake had a sorbet taste to it which really worked well. Location was easy to find and there is street parking near by. Restaurant looked clean and had a relaxed vibe to it. Definitely worth the visit! read more

This place's scoresheet is a win win win! In the spirit of Red October (Go Phils) it's a sweep for Food, Service and Ambience! Food - just WOW! While the menu itself already sold us to seek this place out once we heard the specials it made it that more challenging not to order everything. This morning's special was that of a blood orange vanilla infused mimosa or mule but hey it's Sunday brunch so we'll have two mimosas please! Delish! So stashing this drink for future brunches that I host. The other special was the braised pork belly Benedict. My spouse chose that! I went for the crab cake Benedict. Let's talk Benedict especially my crabcake one. The flavor was so scrumptiously good! First bite into the base (English muffin) was like bursting with savory flavor! I couldn't get the second bite into my mouth fast enough. You would've thought I hadn't eaten for days! The eggs were perfect poached and that runny yoke-y (yep made that up) goodness spilling out onto my benny! Service - amazing! Everything came in a timely manner even as the brunch crowd really started to stream in steadily. Everyone there is very polite and super friendly! Ambiance - loved loved loved the corner bistro like feel! They have the bar as soon as you walk in and about a handful of tables and the it opens up to your right with a few more tables and booths. Alfresco dining for those beautiful days where you can sit and relax with an awesome cocktail. Loved the art work and being a big Potter fan the alcove like bar shelf sat underneath the staircase. It's definitely got the neighborhood vibes meaning they have their regulars who come in and everyone knows you. Even if you weren't Andre the bartender made sure you felt right at home from the time you walked in the door! He greets every guest with the most wonderful smile and a welcome thanks for joining us today. I mean what's not to like! If you go say hi to Andre as he will certainly say hi to you! read more

Some of the erratic inconsistent reviews almost made me a bit nervous but then I noticed that the reviews from Yelp Elites were pretty solid so I went ahead and tried this place. (Weigh the credibility of someone with a whole two Yelp reviews to their name appropriately). I wanted to try something local that is not a chain. I can only speak for my experience, but I loved this place! It's trendy, but not too much. They're diligent but not trying too hard. They had this awesome late 80's vibe going complete with music from the time. And. The. Food. Was. Awesome! The steak was the best NY Strip I've ever had! And the waitress was just down to earth and all about business. No fluff. No nonsense. No trying to upsell. Just great food and great service.

What a sweet place to dine when in Harrisburg! We were coming from Philadelphia to celebrate a friend's birthday who has relocated to Harrisburg. I did a search of area restaurants and this one seemed to fit what we would be looking for. I wasn't wrong. The place is cute and cozy (well-fitted that it is called "Home") and the service was outstanding. We started with cocktails...the four of us with a variety. Each one was well-balanced and delicious. We ordered the vegetable board for an appetizer and if you have ever wondered how exciting a vegetable board could be then you should try this. It was a stand out. Everything tasted so fresh and it also came with creamy hummus and delicious bread. I ordered the pappardelle with slow-cooked ox tail. It was fantastic. In addition, at our table we had crab cakes (delicious!) and pork. The pork was the least favorite as it was a bit tough with lots of gristle. That wouldn't be a choice next time. Desserts were served up and everything was beautiful complete with a sparkler on donuts for the birthday girl! This place was delightful. I definitely recommend! read more
