About The Graduate Homestead Room

The Graduate Homestead Room is a restaurant that offers a mellow ambiance with a speakeasy vibe, perfect for watching games and having a good conversation. The barstaff, such as Faye, are known for their great conversation and for making excellent cocktails, like the "old-fashioned" one. The menu offers delicious dishes, such as the gnocchi which is considered the best in the city, along with standout options like the roasted cauliflower and steak frites. The Brussels and burrata appetizer is also a highlight, and the chicken dish has been praised as the best in years. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and located near the campus, but parking can be a challenge. While service may occasionally be slow when the dining room is empty, the staff is super friendly and attentive once they arrive. Guests can enjoy martinis at the bar or dine on the beautiful covered porch, leaving feeling like guests in a private residence. Though prices are on the higher side, it’s a hidden gem for a special night out or to try the delicious gnocchi.
