The food here was a winning combination of somewhat rich but very clean. On Wednesday night they offer an unbelievable value: a fixed price meal ($30), but the whole menu is available. Four of us went - every dish was fantastic. We all said we've never had anything like it. Servers were dressed casually and were extremely professional. BYOB added... More

Home Bistro is delightful. Very good, interesting food...not your usual menu choices. Service is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. It is small and when we were there it was quite busy but we were never made to feel rushed so another party could be seated. The cheese tray is delicious. And the desserts? It is hard to pick the...

I enjoyed HB very much. The food was outstanding. It is the best Dutch/Beligian food this side of the pond. I hope to go back soon. More

Our reliable "Go To" place for an interesting, reliably delicious reasonably priced dining event where the entire staff obviously cares that you are enjoying the experience. BYOB ensures you'll always find your favorite wine to enjoy with your meal. Tonight I had wild boar sugo with red beans, kale & papperadelle noodles. Lemon brioche bread pudding for desert. Outstanding. More

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years. Fresh, local ingredients crafted into meals so delicious, you will make your reservation for your next visit on the way out. This cozy little byo has a staff that is warm and charming. In addition, there is fixed price wed. with three courses for $30.00. The menu is always changing... More

HB (Home Bistro) is a small neighborhood restaurant in Chicago's Lakeview (Boystown) neighborhood. The food is consistently good, the service warm, and the BYOB policy helps make the price of dining here very reasonable. We dined here for the third time last night with friends. They were offering a 3-course prix fixe menu for $30. Appetizer, entree and a choice... More

Just went to HB last night and it was amazing! I ordered the braised oxtail gnocchi, and it was to die for! The bacon wrapped dates are also very good. I have been to HB three times, and every time it has met my very high expectations. This is a BYOB restaurant which is really nice, but definitely make a... More

Run, do not walk, to a meal at Home Bistro. My husband and I went with friends for our first visit. Definitely on our "regular Chicago restaurant" list now. When we checked in at the little reservation desk, who greeted us but the executive chef, Joncarl Lachman! A warm and friendly guy with a genuine hearty laugh and welcoming demeanor.... More
