Absolutely delicious. Inventive cocktails, intriguing wine list, fantastic food. I had the swordfish with pumpkin risotto. The best prepared fish I’ve had in a long time.

I love this place through & through. I don’t even know where to start. My boyfriend and I came across Home231 when we moved into the city, soon enough we moved right around the block from it and are now regulars. I’ve had both Val and Reily (sorry if that’s not correct spelling) as servers, they are both excellent, knowledgeable and just super friendly. Kerri, the main bartender, makes the best drinks in town, I swear she puts her heart into making those drinks for you. You’ve got to try the espresso martini. We have tried a lot of different places and nothing compares in consistency with both food. beverages and service. Mmm I’m thinking about their brunch as I type this and my mouth is watering! All the food is amazing, I truly cannot recommend enough if you enjoy eating here to try literally everything on the menu. I feel confidently after meeting the owner yesterday that the reason that place is so amazing is due the welcoming environment he has cultivated and that he is in the back cooking putting his heart and soul into every meal he makes. It felt like an honor to get to shake his hand the last time we were there, & what made it so great was how humble he was. I love it 30x more now & I didn’t even know that was possible. Please go and get the brussel sprout ceasar, anything on their brunch menu and honestly everything on the dinner one as well. We get the same servers each time, so you know there isn’t a turnaround for servers, which SPEAKS VOLUMES in the restaurant industry.

The last time we were there Kerri told us the chef/owner had a tomahawk in the kitchen off the menu, not a special. How could we turn it down? You can’t! & I’m glad we didn’t it was the best steak I think I have ever had in a restaurant. It felt so special. My goodness he even paired it with a side of au jus that was just sooo good.

After reading tons of great reviews, we tried this place and it has to be the MOST disappointing dining experience I’ve had anywhere so far. Server was very inattentive. The food came out cold and all the food was sickeningly sweet, even for more savory items. Very strange. The atmosphere is very nice however. Will not dine again and I would not take the chance on this place.

Love, love loved this place. My son and I both had the crab cakes and they were out of this world good! The waiter was so attentive and friendly. It felt like fine dining in a very comfortable and relaxed environment. Oh, we also shared the lobster bites as an app and again, very good!

I cannot express how amazing the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service here was! My fiancé and I are from out of town and the chef came out and gave us suggestions on things to do in the area. Very intentional and kind people. Our waitress was great. Will definitely be coming back sometime. If you are anywhere in the vicinity of this place you won’t regret stopping by. Thank you Chef Robb and our waitress Christine for making this an amazing dining experience!!

I was looking for a new experience for a business dinner and stumbled upon this place. Great atmosphere great little outdoor patio with good service. Food was delicious and they had really creative cocktails. I come to the Harrisburg Area once every couple of months on business and this place may become a staple. Prices were also very reasonable

This place competes with much larger establishments with massive staffing and they do it with only a few people and they do it well. It is one of the 10 best restaurant experiences I have ever had after 30 years of traveling.

Dietary restrictions: Kerri the server proactively asked if I had a gluten allergy when I specified no croutons on my salad. That kind of forward thinking is rare in restaurants. While I am not celiac, I do avoid bread because it makes my stomach feel way too heavy and I was pleasantly surprised that the staff cared about their customers to that degree.

I had an excellent "salmon taco" and "side car" while I sketched a Geburah card here. I'm sure I'll be back for more when I'm not so preoccupied...

Home 231 is by far the best restaurant in town. Now that might be a far stretch for some people, but let me tell you when I walk into this place, I really do feel like I'm home with the welcoming of all the staff and the lovely bartender that greets you right when you walk in. such a delightful atmosphere. My friends, family and fellow neighbors all can attest that this is one of the most prestige restaurants in the area or in central PA. If you were thinking about going to Home 231 don't second-guess yourself just go and have a memorable and relaxing time.

Waited an hour for food that was mediocre at best. I would not recommend this establishment.
