The urban stylish Homa dominates the ground floor of the boutique resort. The examine-in desk for hotel company is at one aspect of the rectangular-shaped bar in the center of the dining room. Further than the bar is a large, plant-filled Greenhaus — an location for occasions. More cozy seating is in nooks all-around the bar for eating.

The all-day menu attributes domestically sourced foodstuff, which are creatively fashioned into breakfast plates, salad bowls, hand pies (palm-sizing, flaky crusted nibbles), sandwiches and desserts.

“Nothing is priced higher than $15,” Gust reported.

The Amiko ($15) sandwich was awesome made with The Sourdough Boulangerie bread toasted with plenty of flavorful butter to provide as the host for tumble-apart braised miso limited ribs. There had been bits of yummy umami-flavored mushrooms mixed with the meat.

“They’re shitake mushrooms,” Gust mentioned. “They are rehydrated, sliced and soaked in a soy sauce combination. Then dehydrated once again and cooked.”
