I had had a quick lunch here on my own and it was pretty quite, which made me wonder if I should stay as the other places around it were busy, as you’d expect for a typical lunch hour rush. I decided to stay and try it out. The interior space was nice and the staff was friendly. I will say that the beer selection was minimal and so was the menu. I ended up ordering the Caio de Pepe and it was simple, but tasty.
Unique dishes, great atmosphere and awesome wines
We have been to Holmes at least a dozen times; food is always awesome and drinks are amazing. My only concern is that on multiple occasions, the owner/bartender's (I think) children are parked at the bar playing video games. I love kids but not sitting at a bar (where seats are limited to begin with). Totally kills the vibe and not appropriate.
Steady Eddie is what I would call them. This, I believe, is my third visit. Sat outside each time, so not sure what the ambiance on the inside is like at all. Food is constantly good; service is consistently good. What's not to appreciate about that? I stuck with just appetizers this time, since I was travelling alone for business. Had the Crispy Octopus and the Cacio E Pepe noodles. Both were very good. The Cacio E Pepe noodles were different, and frankly, delicious.
Not for the faint of heart! Shannel of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame, is a gift! She is everything you would want for a hostess & performer. We had a terrific time and enjoyed every moment of the performance. Would love to attend another show! Also,
We were only in savannah 4 days and ate brunch here twice!! The service was fantastic and the food amazing. I would highly recommend a stop here for breakfast -
Very delicious food and drinks ?✌?
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 wall mural 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 was really 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 pan gravy. 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!

Reading other reviews about the cocktails was not my experience. The amount of wine is measured in a little carafe for $16. So I ordered a martini and it was served in a glass that used to be a champagne glass in the 40's. I wonder if the bar patrons are served better drinks.
