Any restaurant will have negative reviews--I've even seen a couple critical of V & A's. If you've not been to Homecoming, then why not give it a try? You won't know until you go. That aside, my two experiences at Homecoming left me underwhelmed--not bad by any stretch but not exceptional, either. The drink I had was very good, though, and service was decent. On the other and, we've enjoyed our visits to both Boathouse and Morimoto's. The atmosphere and ambiance at both is better than Homecoming's. Food is good at both, though with Morimoto's you have to choose carefully--some of the dishes are similar to something you can get in pretty much any Chinese or Japanese restaurant. Others are topnotch, such as the buri bop (only offered at dinner). Again, if you've not been to Homecoming, I'd say try it just to see what you think. We all go to places with preconceived notions, so unless a menu totally turns you off, then try anything once.
