For the past 11 years, the Homestead Restaurant has been providing a dining experience characterized by owner Lisa Nolan as “white tablecloths without the button-up attitude.” It’s an elegant place without being “formal,” a word that Nolan wrinkles up her nose at. The walls are lined with contemporary Alaskan art, the views are breathtaking, and the service and selection are exceptional. Add to the mix a 1,200-bottle wine cellar filled with premium wines from around the world, and the result is one of Homer’s most popular, upscale dining spots.
