Our Story
Our Mission
From the opening of our very first location in Uptown in 2013, to our growing family of eateries around town, we’ve made it our mission to serve only intentionally-sourced, chef-inspired, scratch-prepared creations that are both nourishing and delicious. We make food that makes you feel good, inside and out and serve it up fresh in a welcoming environment that instantly makes you feel at home. Whether you prefer a quick bite to eat or you’re ready to pull up a chair for the full Olive & Finch Collective experience, we welcome you.
Our Values
Scratch Made: When it comes to quality, we don’t believe in compromising. That’s why we bake our pastries and bread, make our own sauces, and prepare our own meats.
Great Service: You can’t be happy if you’re not served well. That’s why it’s important to us that you feel right at home.
Our Process: At Olive & Finch you will find classics with global influences designed to delight that can be customized to fit your dietary needs.
Our People: We’re in the business of making people happy, and it starts with everyone on our team. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that supports the professional growth, well-being, and success of all our team members.
Sustainability: We believe in nourishing not just our guests, but the planet as well. We are dedicated to sustainable practices in our sourcing, operations, and waste management to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a healthier world.
Giving Back: We support local charities, and strive to be an active member of the community we serve.
