HOME

We hosted our wedding at HOME, and it was everything we dreamed of, and then some. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and magical, the staff was incredibly kind, and the food was unbelievable. Every detail was handled with so much care and intention. We had never been to HOME before our wedding trip, so it was a bit of a leap of faith - but we would do it again in a heartbeat. The space, the energy, the people… it all came together so seamlessly. A special shoutout to Ryan, who was an absolute gem throughout the night. His calm, easygoing energy paired with behind-the-scenes precision made everything feel effortless. He checked in with us throughout the evening, made sure we were taken care of, and truly brought our vision to life. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the entire experience, from the food to the vibe to the incredible staff, and that meant the world to us. Several of our friends and family have strict dietary restrictions (including celiac and gluten-free), and they were blown away by how expansive, thoughtful, and delicious the menu was. Many told us it was one of the best meals they’ve ever had, and some couldn’t believe they were finally able to enjoy fried chicken again after years of going without. Chef Brad crafted an exceptional menu that was not only accommodating, but deeply memorable for everyone. HOME is a one-of-a-kind place. If you’re lucky enough to plan an event here, know that you’re in the best hands. We can’t wait to return. Sarah & Reece

We had an absolutely delightful evening at Home in Soquel. From start to finish, the experience was flawless, and our server, Lucy, was incredibly kind and sweet, making us feel right at home. We began with the focaccia bread and pâté de Monterey—a decadent combination of chicken liver and Gorgonzola cream. Both were rich and flavorful, a fantastic start to our meal. Next, we savored the H&H Dungeness crab salad, which was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. For the pasta course, we chose the Calamarata with Dungeness crab, saffron-braised tomato, and smoked roe, which was nothing short of outstanding. Every bite was perfectly balanced and luxurious. My partner opted for the popular gluten-free fried chicken, and it lived up to the hype—crispy, fresh, and downright delicious. I couldn’t resist the California strip loin, cooked medium-rare and accompanied by crispy potatoes, anchovy aioli, and wild mushrooms. It was a masterpiece—perfectly cooked and utterly heavenly. To cap off an already amazing meal, we indulged in the chocolate torte with orange candied persimmons. It was divine—rich, decadent, and the perfect way to end the night with a big smile on my face. The cozy atmosphere and warm, inviting ambiance truly make you feel like you’re eating at home (pun intended). It’s a dining experience that is as comforting as it is exceptional. 10/10 experience—we can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommended for anyone looking for outstanding food, top-notch service, and a cozy, memorable atmosphere.
