Description

edit

Homer serves Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine.[7] Naomi Tomky of Eater Seattle described the restaurant as "Middle East-meets-Northwest".[4] According to The Infatuation, "Because of the quaint wallpaper and wall molding, Homer looks like it could be the lobby of a luxurious bed and breakfast in The Hamptons."[8] There is outdoor seating on a sidewalk patio.[9] GQ has said the "vegetable-forward" menu includes small plates.[10]
