We weren’t quite sure about portion sizes and wondered if some dishes were meant to be entrées. Although their parent Hopkins and Company website lists a Holeman and Finch Public House opening soon in Colony Square, Atlanta, this location is listed as Holeman and Finch Asheville. It feels like they refined their concept as an afterthought and are still dotting i’s and crossing t’s. I’d done my research, but not until we saw the menu did we get that Holeman and Finch is based on a “Public House” format. We were expecting table seating in a typical “restaurant”. Some of the confusion on our part was because we weren’t aware of the concept going in. No one introduced themselves to us, explained anything about the Holeman and Finch concept, owners, or anything else. You’re expecting us, right? Confirmed with a NYC PR company as well as the Holeman and Finch Operations Manager, no one seemed to know what was happening. Only problem was they were directly in front of stocked shelves, so the view of bar action was obscured and servers behind the bar couldn’t get to us very easily.

To the right of the shelves we watched a gorgeous hand-cranked meat slicer in action. Their charcuterie program is curated and awesome.įrom our seats we could see (through the shelving, jars, etc.) cured meats thinly sliced by hand. There are lots of options on the menu, but don’t miss the charcuterie, oysters, and chilled seafood. They actually made the evening.ĭessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding served with pour-over sauce and vanilla ice cream, was delicious. Uppermost, servers were friendly and top notch.

Why reverse the Holeman and Finch experience? Because Impressed came after Annoyed, which came after Confused, so I’m leading with the positive and will sum it all up at the end.
