If Augusta had a town anthem, I’m convinced it would be sung over a plate of kimchi wings and a pint at Finch and Fifth.
Let’s start with the basics. The food is consistently phenomenal. I’m talking close-your-eyes-and-hum-with-joy kind of phenomenal. Whether it’s the kimchi wings, those crispy little love letters to flavor, or that poutine with andouille sausage and beef (which honestly deserves its own zip code), every bite feels like the chef whispered, “This one’s for you,” before sending it out.
Service? Top notch. Finch and Fifth doesn’t just offer curbside service, they offer to-curb service. Somehow, they know when you’ve pulled up and have your order ready before you’ve finished putting the car in park. It’s like they’ve tapped into the Holy Spirit of hospitality.
Speaking of spirits, Jesus and JC are the kind of bartenders who make you feel like the Cheers theme song was written just for them. They remember your drink, your story, and probably your cousin’s favorite bourbon too. When they see me pull up, the glass is already frosted and waiting, like divine intervention but with better ice cubes.
The management runs the place like a symphony, every plate, every pour, every smile hits its note just right. And the waitstaff? They don’t just work with each other, they move like a well-rehearsed dance troupe of kindness and efficiency. They treat everyone like family, the good kind of family, not the one that argues over Monopoly at Thanksgiving.
Finch and Fifth isn’t just a restaurant. It’s an experience. It’s where the food has soul, the drinks have personality, and the people have heart. So if you ever find yourself in Augusta wondering where to eat, do yourself a favor. Go to Finch and Fifth. Order the kimchi wings or the poutine. Let Jesus or JC hand you your drink. And when you leave, you’ll understand why the locals don’t just eat there, they belong there.

BEST charcuterie, ever!! Roasted brussel sprouts are devine, and the cocktails are enjoyable. Entrées are also very tasty and satisfying. You won’t regret eating at this restaurant.

We are never disappointed when we dine here. Cocktails are fantastic, food is amazing, and service is on point. We always order a charcuterie board and last night it was so good! Not to mention we were able to catch the UGA game (bummed but not from the service). Kennedy was our server and she was great! Looking forward to our next visit and hopefully a better game.

Had a reservation for my mother’s birthday. Took over 30 minutes for someone to come over. Kennedy was inattentive, seemed to not care about our table, and did not even mention my mother’s birthday even though it was noted in reservation. The food here is terrible. I wouldn’t eat more than the appetizers and drinks because that was literally the only thing here that was tasty. The entrees lacked flavor and proper plating. I would only return for happy hour and only eat appetizers. The bar is more attentive and quality drink makers.
UPDATE: Owners and managers were super apologetic and took accountability for my original experience. Gave another chance and brunch was super tasty. Vontae was an amazing server. We all have off days, and I appreciate them for making it up. Amazing customer service

This is a great dinner date place. You don't need to dress up but if you wanted to, you would not be out of place. The sliders were delicious. The pasta was the special for the night. It was tasty.

Food was done well but didn't match the price point.

We tried several items off the small plates menu and each were very good. Our favorite was the braised peach crostini which was truly excellent.

This restaurant is very cutesy! From the outside, I actually thought I was dressed inappropriately in jeans and a crop top just because of how elegant it looked. The service was great and the drinks were delicious. The food was okay. I ordered from the brunch menu (the only option at the time I went) and for the quality and the amount of food I received, I feel like it was overpriced. My chicken was too hard to chew and they did replace it free of charge but it still wasn’t very good. I’d be willing to go again and order something else or order from the other menus.
Just the temperature of the establishment was too hot and took too long to get my drink. The atmosphere was quaint and food was just what my palate needed! Will come again to try the other variety of entrees that are served

My husband and I came in for the first time and everything we got was absolutely amazing!! The appetizer of the duck was so tasty, all the flavors went so well together! The beet and house salad were so light and refreshing! The strip and lamb for our entree tasted like something we had never had before!!! The flavors these chefs put together are just insane good!!! Our bar drinks, the desert flower (tequila) and the lucky shot (rum and wine) had more unexpected flavors in them!! Service was Awesome!!! Josh was our bartender, and he took great care of us! We highly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!!!

Finch & Fifth is one of those places that just gets it. You walk in, and it’s got this chill vibe like time slows down a little. It’s classy without trying too hard, and the food? Man, it hits different. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re treating yourself without breaking the bank or your spirit.
Every plate looks like it belongs in a magazine, but it still tastes like someone actually cooked it with love—not like it was printed off a food printer. Whether it’s brunch, drinks, or just a good meal to reset your day, this spot always delivers. I’ve never left feeling anything less than satisfied—and I’m picky.
I bring people here when I want to impress them without saying a word. Finch & Fifth does the talking for me. The staff is cool, the atmosphere is mellow but alive, and the food always reminds me that life’s too short to eat boring meals.
Much respect to the team there. Keep doing what you do—you’ve got something special going.
