Guidebook for Homer
Food Scene
This place is very small! There are only 5 tables, so make a reservation for dinner well in advance. It's always been my favorite restaurant, and now I'm actually waiting tables here during the day time! During lunch time, be prepared for a long wait time-- there are plenty of cute shops along the harbor to kill time!

Parks & Nature
Tide-pooling's still one of my favorite activities. I provide tide-books, look for minus tides under Seldovia district (e.g. -3.4 ft) and you'll get to see lots of sea-critters! Fun for all.

Mel, the owner, has an amazing collection of wine and beer varieties, especially for such a small town. He also selects the most unique liquors; my favorite is the Alaskan Smoked Salmon vodka for Bloody Mary's!!
