Tried Homestead Restaurant on Piedmont Avenue last night with @mrsth. Highly recommended. 
The restaurant has great light with an open air kitchen where you can watch the chefs work.
The menu changes daily. The squid, duck and horchata ice cream were my favorites. Here’s what we had:

Welcome to Homestead.
We brought our own bottle of wine, a wonderful 1997 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino. Corkage was $ 20.
Loved the colors of the kitchen.
