The first restaurant in the Alpharetta City Center development is set to open this week.
Restaurant Holmes will open at 5 p.m. Wednesday, according to the eatery’s Instagram account.
Owner and executive chef Taylor Neary, a Roswell native, previously worked in the kitchens at Ford Fry restaurants St. Cecilia and Marcel , as well as Stoney River Grill, Buckhead Life Group's Kyma, Roux on Canton, Little Alley Steak and Opulent.
Previously described as “an eclectic neighborhood restaurant and bar,” Restaurant Holmes will feature an often-changing lunch and dinner menu of salads, small plates and entrees made with local ingredients, with highlights on the dinner menu including dishes such as coal-roasted beets, crudo, pasta and wood-fired fish.
The restaurant will be located in The Jones House, a historic building and former residence built in 1915 and preserved by Alpharetta City Center. The 60-seat restaurant -- which will also feature a covered porch and patio -- will boast leather banquettes, dark tile, and design features including murals by local artist Greg Mike . There will also be a semi-private room off the main dining room for special events.
Alpharetta City Center, a 26-acre mixed-use district , is adding six blocks to Alpharetta's downtown historic district, according to Cheri Morris, president of developer Morris & Fellows.
The restaurant area, known as The Gardens , features individual buildings scattered through three city blocks of parks and greenspace. Its 11 restaurants, all with outdoor dining patios, porches, rooftop or gardens, will open from June 2018 through March 2019.
