Holmes - Alpharetta

The drinks are always tasty. They're not overly alcoholic though. The octopus and corn (shown here) have not been my only flavorful options and I would recommend this place again. The vibe here is fun and whimsical but the bar is a little too cramped and doesn't seem as inviting as most places.

Beautiful big patio and EXCELLENT service!! Don was very attentive and friendly. The drinks are excellent strong, but a little pricey $15). We didn?t pay that much for drinks on the rooftop across the street where there?s a better view and in the sun. We were offered a special they had from a party the night before that was ?more tender than filet Mignon? wagyu) but it was very chewy and did not live up to our expectations of what wagyu is. The price is normally $50-60so $32 was a great price but again it wasn?t impressive. We would come back and try something else in the future since the drinks, patio service was nice but overall just ok.

Restaurant Holmes is serving up unique small plates with local fresh ingredients, a seasonal menu, and craft beverages in the iconic The Jones House in Alpharetta. Per sign in 1914: 'The Jones House ', a craftsman style home was built for Will Jones and his wife May Jackson Jones at a cost of $515.00....In July, 2018, Restaurant Holmes opened in Jones House becoming the City Center 's development 's first tenant to open. I loved the sunny porch, the large floor to wallmural of the wolf, and the keep the vibes fluorescent neon sign which made the perfect photo op. There was also an orange statue of Buddha that you can rub for good luck and an out-of-this-world To Mars panel art. One thing that wasreally cool were the ice cubes that were engraved with Holmes .This would be a great spot for a cozy date night or family get-together. What I tried at Restaurant Holmes. I had a cocktail called Pretty in Pink which had gin, bergamot,hibiscus, citrus, and bubbles. Then Big Willy poured up with bourbon, passionfruit, and citrus. Next, it was time for Staples (Appetizers) and I went with the brussels sprouts that had Korean barbecue sauce, creme fraiche, toasted seeds,and chives. The brussels sprouts were really yummy mixed with the Cacio e Pepe, handmade noodles, parmesan and cracked black pepper. Then was time for the Proper Entrees and I went for the Game Hen served with mushroom risotto and pangravy. I also tried the Hanger Steak which was eight ounces and wood-grilled with a beer marinade paired with a carrot puree, broccolini, and crispy garlic. Restaurant Holmes: keeping the vibes!

Made a reservation for a business lunch in their private room. When we arrived, there was no private room and they put us in the break room with the mops, cleaning products and dirty laundry. Staff was dressed like they were headed to the beach. Not professional at all. And the food was not good. The pork tacos were 80% fat and 20% meat. They put the wrong sauce on the chicken sandwich. I was embarrassed that I brought people there.

The salmon dish was so delicious and presented beautifully. The wine we chose from Paso Robles If You See Kay was very good also. Wonderful sitting outside and waiter was really nice and attentive. Great job and highly recommend. Compliments to the chef!
