We had a wonderful time! The service was excellent, they were thoughtful with a vegan request and helpful with all questions, and the food was sooooo goooood. It was relaxing and fun and we really appreciate them checking vaccine cards and raking good care of all guests. read more

Can't remember specifically what we ordered here (we shared a bunch of plates), but it was all delicious and all 5 of us considered it the best meal we had anywhere during the 10 days we were in Seattle, including some much more famous and expensive restaurants. Terrific service and well-worth the wait to get in. read more

Sat down for dinner once a while ago and remember the only stand out being the lamb ragout. Everything else was a bit over cooked or lacked the right amount of flavor. Tried getting take out food the other day but they don't do that? Seems like a wasted opportunity and disrespectful to those who still don't feel comfortable going out due to the whole pandemic thing still happening. The soft serve machine doesn't get turned on until after a certain time, so another wasted opportunity. Why not turn it on when the server gets there so people passing by can get some soft serve? And no I don't want the flavors at Milk Drunk. They don't rotate flavors. read more

Homer is a fantastic restaurant! I was visiting Seattle for about a week for my birthday and decided on Homer for my birthday dinner. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the magic is about to happen - and definitely it did! The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I asked for recommendations and they suggested the red pepper hummus with pita bread as a starter. We also had the string beans, which were incredible. For our main large plate, we had the lamb ribs. The ribs were not much larger than our many small plates but were a great way to wrap up the savory portion of our meal. I definitely saved room for dessert and opted for the swirled soft serve. The flavors were lime and cantaloupe. They were outstanding and left me, someone who doesn't normally have much of a sweet tooth, more than satisfied. read more

Very sloppy takeout service here during COVID-19 lockdown. The staff seemed distracted, the wait times were long, there was no professionalism around when orders were ready, and the food was cold. Also, it wasn't immediately clear that the order online service was for collection only. I'm surprised: this restaurant when fully open was one of my favorites in Seattle, but this experience yesterday was crappy. read more

Excellent food and presentation. The service is excellent. We like to get there early so we don't have to wait though they started taking reservations again. I like ordering the small plates, so much variety of tastes, textures and visual presentation. read more

Excellent all the way around ! Fresh ,unique food and cocktails . Service was friendly and pleasant. Can't wait to go back . Highly recommend ! read more

This place has some of the best Lebanese/Mediterranean food I've ever had and the drinks are awesome too. I love taking visitors here when they're in town because the vibe is great. The wait staff is awesome, I've never had a bad experience. Get there early though because it gets packed quickly and they don't take reservations. If you do have to wait they have drinks you can order from the bar or there's another bar next door that you can grab a drink at and Homer will text you. You won't be disappointed! You have to try the meatballs, the lamb, and the three dips. read more

I wasn't as impressed with homer as I thought I would be, maybe we just ordered the wrong things for entrees. I will say their pita and dips are really really good. read more

Great food, great service. Constantly changing menu makes it a new fun experience every time you go.

I left a 5 star review after dining at Homer last July. I later found that the credit card I used there (which was the only time/place I used that card) was fraudulently used later that day at a Seattle yoghurt shop. My credit card company reversed the charge. Enjoy the food and service, but don't give your server your credit card! read more

This place slaps. A bunch of shareable, delightful small plates, good drinks and the soft serve is amaze. There's usually about an hour wait and it's 10/10 worth it, just plan accordingly. read more

My partner and I first ate at Homer in the spring of last year. We waited in line 20 min before their doors opened for dinner and luckily, we got the last two open seats at the bar. I remember having such a great time and thinking this would be such a great place to take my family. Fast forward a few months later, I threw a surprise birthday for my partner during the summer. I invited about 40 people, which is probably the max they can fit comfortably. Honestly, I didn't even know Homer threw private events until I reached out via email and received a lovely response from Sara (one half of the couple who created Homer). Even though they couldn't take reservations for such a large party during dinner service, they graciously opened up their space for Sunday lunch. This suggestion proved to be so much better because it felt great to have the entire restaurant to ourselves. Sara then connected me with Suli, their GM, who organized the details for the party: custom pre-fixed family style menu which included apps, entrees, drinks and dessert (they printed out menus with a personalized birthday message!), custom table arrangements, cute flower vases/candles at each table and the ability to play our own music playlist while we ate lunch. Suli was prompt (and patient) in answering my questions as we emailed back-and-forth leading up to the party. When it came to the day-of, Suli and the rest of the Homer team blew all my expectations of how the day would go. Everything felt effortless: transitions between courses went smoothly and everyone was so engaged during lunch that the 3-hour window we had the space for went by quickly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the friendly service and the food. Thank you Homer for making our party so special. Your hospitality and kindness is appreciated! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT GO HERE. I'm really not even sure to begin with this review. I eat out a lot. When I say a lot, I mean multiple times a week. I can say with confidence this is the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. First, it is overpriced. I am not sure what business this place has charging the prices they charge, but whatever. Second, this place obviously isn't aware or doesn't care that it is owned and operated by white hipsters that are culturally appropriating Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food and are contributing to the gentrification of the neighborhood. In fact, in a room full of white people they literally think people from the neighborhood. It was gross. You literally had white gentrifiers congratulating and thanking other white gentrifiers. read more

BEST. FRESH. PITA. BREAD. LET'S GOOO! I first came here on a Monday night a while ago, only to discover that they don't open on Mondays and Tuesdays (FYI!!!) But at last, I found a free Friday night to try this place out Since they don't do reservations, I arrived Friday around 4:55pm (5 mins before opening) because I didn't want to get caught in the wait list. There was already a mini crowd outside!!! :O I was SO HAPPY that my boyfriend and I got seated at the counter because you get to watch them prep and cook the food! Our waiter was super helpful and gave us his favorites and suggestions for a party of 2. We took all his suggestions and got the following and were sufficiently full: -FRESH PITA with the LAMB RAGU on TAHINI: pita bread was a 11/10. I loved how fluffy and soft they were. You get 2 pitas with this. They are warm, fresh out of their oven. The lamb ragu was delicious and very flavorful and the tahini makes it rich and creamy -LAMB RIBS - wowowow this was done SO WELL. Perfect flavor and so tender, the bones came out effortlessly and paired with the pear slices was delectable. -MARINATED MUSHROOMS - best mushroom dish i've ever had. It comes with w/ leeks & a walnut-bread sauce...portion was good but I honestly they gave us more because we were in love with how perfectly cooked the mushrooms were so that they had a great consistency. The flavor was amazing and that bread sauce was also so delicious I wish I had more pita bread to eat with it! -BURNT CABBAGE - this was unique and also full of good flavor. Not my favorite and didn't really stand out compared to the other dishes we got. I liked the nuts in it. Although the cabbage dish was average, the fact that everything else was so good and that was probably the best pita, lamb, and mushrooms I've ever had, along with wonderful service, makes this place a 5/5. Next time, I would get 1 order of pita, 1 large plate, and 1 small plate (instead of 2) so I can try their soft serve! read more

First place I've been to in a long time where I left and immediately thought I CANT WAIT TO COME BACK. We went on a Tuesday night around 6:30 and waited close to 45 minutes for a table for 2. Plenty of spots nearby to get a drink while you wait. We got wine, hummus and pita, the meatballs, basmati rice cake, lamb ribs, and one of their seasonal small plates with ham, burrata and eggplant served over their bread. Everything was AMAZING but the hummus, pita and meatballs were definitely the highlights. I would be happy to eat these every day for the rest of my life. Don't skip the soft serve- even if it means grabbing one to go on your way out. The flavors change often but are all amazing! read more

The food was absolutely exceptional! My husband said the lamb ribs were the best he has ever had. Unfortunately, the service we received was unacceptable. Our waiter took our order and did not return until an hour and a half later when we had been waiting for 30 minutes to close out. The strangest part was we had our dishes stacked and our credit card out for 30 minutes and not a single other server helped us. I understand they are a newly opened and busy restaurant but all the tables who were seated after us were being attended to. We were never asked if we needed anything, how the food was, or if we wanted another round of drinks. I plan to give them another shot in a couple of weeks to see if there service has improved. read more

We were so excited to meet our new neighbors, we live a few blocks from Homer. I did my research, knew they didn't take reservations, so we anticipated we would be waiting for an hour (secret of the biz; make the experience seem like it's exclusive...long waits can do that...it builds hype), so we put our names on the list and went to El Quetzal to have a margarita and some chips and salsa to chat. This being or 6th date night in 5 years since having kids, we like to make it special...so knowing that Homer came from the roots of Sitka and Spruce to our neighborhood...Homer was the top of our list for our night out. We showed up an hour and a half after getting on the list...had time to meet another couple from West Seattle. We had another half an hour before we were seated with the couple we just met. The space was clean, open seating, tight, noisy. Our host and server were fantastic. The wine selection was good. Food was OK: * Pork ribs excellent...weirdly, the lentils they sat upon were a different temperature and needed more salt/seasoning...if there was any, it wasn't apparent. * Lamb was really lacking...tough sinewy and difficult to eat - jerky has more give than this experience. * We ordered the carrots but recieved the beets instead. Our server apologized and offered to fix...we were fine with the beets...said it wasn't a big deal. They were good and well seasoned...although they were big...it would have been nice if they were in smaller pieces. * We ordered the pita (best part of the meal! Yum!). It came fluffy and warm, yummy. We had the three spreads; hummus - fine, there was no wow - just OK. The walnut spread was good...it needed something more to make it spectacular...some zing... The yogurt whip was underwhelming... * Soft serve for dessert was good, tahini and chocolate. So, our experience was OK. It seemed the hype was a bit of a let down. There was much excitement from the crowd. For us there was just a few things missing. We'll wait a little while before we visit again. read more

Expensive but very delicious. They packaged all the food very nicely for my takeout order. We got a side of the whipped garlic, yum. Instead of getting ice cream (I'm a huge ice cream lover) we got poached pear for dessert. It was tasty. Highly recommend. The one thing I do wish is that they offer a vegetarian main dish. I was able to eat enough with multiple starters/apps. I've had a vegetarian main dish pre pandemic and remember it being good. read more

Inspired Mediterranean food! Try the whipped garlic. The ice cream flavors are unique and delicious.

The three dips were delicious! We also had summer squash,shaved kohlrabise and heirloom tomatoes along with the lamb. Everything was so delicious and the service was impeccable ! We will definitely be back often to check on the new offerings! read more

Night 3 of service, first Friday night. They have nailed it. Were told to expect an hour + wait so gave our name and phone and headed down the street for a drink during the wait. Our host, Suli, called to let us know our table was ready (love this level of service). Returned and were seated right away. The food was AMAZING. If there is lamb in it - order it. You will not be disappointed. Service was friendly and efficient. The place was packed with happy diners. Loved loved loved our meal and will return as soon as possible! read more

Everyone on the hill was watching this place get constructed and anticipation grew all summer. It definitely is living up to the hype and excitement. We waited a few weeks for the lines to die down but finally got to squeeze in at the back counter on Halloween for an excellent meal. BTW, I wish they took reservations... We ordered a lot of small plates and were tempted to order a lot more but we got stuffed. We got the 3 spreads plate with pita bread to start. BEST pita bread I have ever eaten. I really liked the spicy squash dip which sounds very weird for me to say because I am not normally a squash fan. We ordered anchovies with fancy butter and bread, smoked kohlrobi and quince with bread, and some meatballs. The bread was amazing and next time I am going to order all the bread and spread plates just so I can get the bread again. We loved everything and wanted to try more but it will have to wait for another time. We were on the back counter watching them cook all the food over a wood fire grill or the wood fire oven. Again, seeing everything else go out made us want to try other things. The ribs looked awesome. The counter was a little awkward because we had to turn around to talk to our waitress instead of ordering across a bar. But everyone was very friendly and answered all our questions about what we should order. They also have a window for soft serve which was also amazing and we have tried that a couple of times for desert when the wait for dining was too long so we were forced to go other places. We will definitely be back for both ice cream and dinner. read more

This is our anniversary so we wanted to find a nice place to eat and were not disappointed. We started with a hummus plate with a wonderful fragrant pita bread. Then we also ordered a plate with speck mortadella and ricotta. They were served with some nice condiments. We also had parsnips with nduja, another strange combo but it tasted very good. Our main dish was the lamb ribs, in the picture you can see a third of the serving. We're having a sundae for dessert with Cherry clove sauce. Yum! Good friendly service. My only criticism is it's so noisy, but I guess some people must like that read more

Everything we have had to eat here is excellent. I've been probably a half a dozen times pre and post COVID and it is all excellent. Definitely have the breads and dips as they are all so good. Eggplant is also excellent in its various forms. And leaving without having the soft serve would be a sin. Enjoy! read more

Tried to get ice cream from the walk-up window three times. The first time was the only time I was successful in getting ice cream but it came with a long wait. Different staff kept asking if I needed help but didn't follow through after I said, "yes." The other two times no one came to the window to help me even though they saw me waiting there. read more

New restaurant in Beacon Hill neighborhood. We came in during the soft opening and sat at the bar. The theme of the food is a rotating, locally-sourced Mediterranean menu with rotating bar menu as well. We ordered: hummus with pita, house pickles, smoked ricotta, grilled squid, and lamb ribs. Drinks: Lambrusco Spritz and a House Ginger Soda with a shot of Gin (tip). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. We can't wait to come back again! read more

4.5 if I could ... the blistered green beans were absolutely mind bending. The dark undertones of lime in the aioli + bright basil + earthy ground peanuts will knock your palate awake. We couldn't stop exclaiming to each other about how surprising and supremely enjoyable the dish was. Service was great, very attentive. We didn't ever feel rushed even though our reservation was for 30 til close. Ordered: -Pita: amazing, so pillowy, baked fresh -Whipped garlic: show stopper, don't skip this -Hummus: very tasty, an amped up classic -Lebneh: tasty, but wouldn't order again if it was already on another dish I ordered -Sweet red pepper dip: sooo good, highly recommend -Blistered green beans: best dish I've had in like two years, so unique and addictive -Sweet corn + feta, nduja, labneh: sooo good. The basil and cilantro really made this dish pop. -Summer squash: wouldn't order this again, the flavors were really enjoyable and the avocado spread was delish, but the squash were much less cooked than I would prefer -Black lime ice cream: good flavor but it was quite subtle read more

The atmosphere--especially in summer with the front walls open--is so refreshing, the ragu is incroyable, and you pretty much can't go wrong with anything else on the menu. Go, go, go. PS Currently no reservations. I've found the best strategy is to show up when they open. Have a blast! read more

I went to Homer for a tasting collective event where they offered 6 courses, most of which were new recipes not on the menu. I've heard so much buzz about this restaurant, but the laziness in me was deterred by the fact they don't do reservations. BIG MISTAKE! The food was so gooood! I'm definitely going to be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

$7 soft serve and less attentive service while sitting at the bar than we ever would've gotten sitting at a waited table. I was really excited to come here. My girlfriend and I had been planning it for awhile, but the cute decor that drew is in ended up being the only enjoyable part of Homer. I honestly don't even remember what I ate, just that the bill was egregious. The Rosa cocktail was good, but was priced like it was garnished with herbs from the fanciest farm in the rolling hills of France. I'll just stop ther read more

What a fabulous spot! Absolutely everything about our experience was impeccable; the food and drinks were delicious and beautifully made and the service was friendly and efficient. We decided on the trio of dips for an app, the chicken and pork loin for our mains. The flavors were complex and unique and we were happily surprised with how these dishes were perfectly complete- missing absolutely nothing. We finished the meal off with their specialty soft serve ice cream; a swirl of salted date and rhubarb/St. Germain flavors. Unbelievable! We're always on the hunt for soft serve, (surprisingly very hard to find in Seattle), and we were beyond pleased. It's no surprise they do not take reservations, they were totally packed. But it was 100% worth the wait! read more

Delicious Homemade Pitas, Roasted Beets, Roasted Cauliflower! Vegan friendly and flexible with eating arrangement (outdoors, bar, etc.)

Disappointing all around. Fatty pork, bland spreads, gamy lamb. The coco cocktail was interesting, the summer tomatoes were superb. Service was indifferent. read more

DO NOT SIGN ON FOR THE FIXED PRICE MENU. We were told that we were required to order the fixed price meal since we were a group of seven. Meaning, they decide what to bring us. At $50 per person, I expected at least a taste of each dish they brought to the table. A serving dish was brought out with so few tiny portions of chicken that several of us didn't get a taste. Extremely awkward. One of our guests asked if they would bring a little more so the rest of the table could try it. The gentleman said, "don't worry, two platters of beef and some fish will be coming". We never saw beef, or any other protein except for a small amount of fish, which the two of us who were hosting let our guests eat. I love small portions, but it's embarrassing when your invited guests get none. The dessert was also only given to a few. Odd. For a $500+ meal, I guess I expected more. I've been here before, and food and service were both good for the most part. Some flavors spot on, some not at all. All I can recommend is that you don't get the 'forced' family style. Pay twice as much for half the food? No thanks. It honestly feels like they are ripping larger groups off to discourage them from coming in. read more

Great shareable space, service was attentive but not overbearing. We had the Pork shoulder and that was delicious. The burnt cabbage was unique and we were pleasantly surprised. Anyone who is adventurous with veggies should try. The Lamb Ragu tahini with pita was good, but couldn't taste the lamb much. Very flavorful foods. Beacon Hill is booming now, so this addition is great! read more

Delicious. Been here a dozen times and never once had a bad experience. Each season the menu is slightly different. The one thing that is a must get is the hummus. It is the best hummus I've ever had. The small and large plates are so good, we normally order a few of each just so we can taste a little of everything. They added lovely outdoor seating in the summer. And they check vaccinations cards and ID's. I appreciate that extra step. read more

Soooo yummy!! Best pita I've ever had! We got the beets, lamb, chicken, and roasted cauliflower and everything was amazing. Even the swirl soft serve! I will def. be back! read more
