The Graduate Homestead Room

When we walked into the dining room we stood around before anyone appeared to seat us. Once seated, no one came near us until we began to question if we had a server. Once a server did appear, she was very attentive and the service was fine. The dining room was quite empty, so perhaps not fully staffed?

We had a wonderful dinner at this iconic hotel last night. Our evening began at the bar with martinis, we then stepped outside onto the beautiful covered porch where we enjoyed a lovely dinner. The roasted cauliflower was amazing. The steak frites was perfect. Our server suggested the most wonderful wine to compliment our dinner....... Place is truly a hidden gem. We left feeling like guests in a private residence as opposed to customers. We highly recommend this restaurant and the hotel!!!

Would be cool if they picked up the phone. On hold for literally 15 minutes.

We dined as a larger group and were very nicely accommodated. Every person raved about their dish and my mother-in-law declared that the chicken was the best chicken dish she has had at a restaurant in years! Super friendly and helpful service. As locals we will absolutely be returning and we look forward to it!!

I had such a great experience and was pleasantly surprised by this quaint little restaurant in a quaint hotel during my daughters’ accepted student visit in northwestern. Their brussel sprouts and chicken were amazing. The chicken was pretty tender. The burger was pretty good too but just tasted like a regular burger. I definitely recommend the chicken and brussel sprouts. Their cocktails are also amazing.

spent and afternoon here w friends and colleagues. the cocktails were fabulous and well made! we think the chicken was undercooked. the staff was a little unenthusiastic perhaps. i really enjoyed catching up with everyone and hanging out.

My GF and I both ate Crapcakes and Chicken. Within several hours afterword, we both experienced Stomach irritation and discomfort. Not sure if these directly caused this discomfort, but the fact that both of us experienced it, it was very suspious . We also had a sige order of Cauliflower. BG

The food was great. The sever was great also. The service was lengthy, there was only 1 server and seemed like 1 chef. The ambiance of the entire hotel was different than expected.

We are staying at the Graduate by Hilton hotel, on the same property as the restaurant. We went down for breakfast this morning. We sat at the table for at least 15 minutes before the waitress came to the table. We asked for a menu and were told the kitchen had just closed. It was 9:35 AM on a Saturday. Really? Make it make sense.

Beautiful and historical property, nicely located in a gorgeous neighborhood. We tried crab cakes, mushrooms soup, rigatoni and fish all completely delicious. We will definitely come back

I had an absolutely terrible experience at this restaurant during brunch with my friends. The service was beyond horrible — the waitresses were rude, inattentive, and completely careless. The food was equally disappointing, poorly made and far from what we expected. To top it off, the staff wasted so much of our time with their slow and unprofessional attitude. This place is a complete disaster. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!

We visited this restaurant for my friend’s birthday brunch, and while the ambiance was absolutely amazing and relaxing, the rest of the experience was a complete letdown. The servers were rude and had a bad attitude, which immediately soured the mood. On top of that, the service was incredibly slow—it took forever for our food to arrive.

When the food finally came, it was a disaster. The burger was burnt, the steak was overcooked, and even the pancakes were disappointing. The omelette was also shockingly small for the price. To top it off, at the end of our meal, the waiter carelessly dropped our credit cards on the table without so much as a “thank you” or “goodbye.”

For a place with such a lovely ambiance, the service and food were shockingly bad. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place at all based on our experience.

The atmosphere is great, the food was ok, the server forgot basically everything we asked for throughout the night. Wrong order, wrong drinks, forgetting things all together. They probably should write things down if they have a bad memory.

The food and service were very good. However, the heat was not working on a very cod, below-freezing night. Our party of six needed to wear our winter coats while dining.

A really neat concept of theming the hotel around the local college campus. Nice bar atmosphere and good service.
