We visited BluPoint tonight and enjoyed the friendliness of the team and the ambiance of the…read morerestaurant was wonderful. It is well lit, relaxed and upscale - all at the same time. The furnishings, decor and spaces are well designed to be modern, contemporary and (comfortably) trendy. The food was high quality. We enjoyed Oysters Rockefeller and Pull Apart Crab Rangoon as appetizers. For our main course, we shared a cut of 16 oz Bison paired alongside a Wedge Salad with thinly sliced green apple that complimented the superb homemade blue cheese dressing. We also had Brussels sprout and asparagus. Our kids shared a fish n chips with Mac n cheese as the "chips!" We drank water with our meal. The drink menu was plentiful for those who enjoy alcohol - it was quite expansive and seemed to have something for every taste from wines and beers and cocktails/specialty drinks. We don't drink alcohol, so we cannot speak with the voice of having tried any of the adult beverages. The dessert menu looked nice, though we didn't save room at this meal to enjoy - we will save that for another time. The pricing was a bit more than one would normally spend in the River Valley - though the ambiance, food quality, menu selections and wow factor were all certainly outstanding and in a class apart from most any other restaurant in this area. By comparison - I would say BluPoint would compare to Oak or Ruth's Chris (both in Rogers, Arkansas and both specializing in steaks). Other comparables in quality and enjoyment factor would be Doe's Eat Place in Fort Smith and the location in Fayetteville (also steak houses). Finally - just a little below those mentioned above (in my view), I would say 21 West End and Stone House at Chaffee Crossing, both in Fort Smith would be comparable to BluPoint. Of course, the menu selections will vary from the places I've mentioned as comparable - BluPoint had two solid options for high quality meat (filet and bison), as well as several seafood options - which makes sense given their specialty. We met the chef and he was friendly and pleasant. His creations (that we tried) were very enjoyable. We paid $270, including a 20% tip for the selections described above - so definitely don't forget the wallet or you'll be washing a lot of dishes!

My husbands steak was WELL DONE when we specifically asked for medium rare.... Don't quite know how you mix those 2 up. Didn't offer to fix it.

Wow! Who knew that in the corner of NW Arkansas there'd be a fish house that is outta this world??…read more Mom mentioned she watched "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives," and the Guy Fieri dropped in. On a whim she asked me to go with her from Leavenworth, Kansas and do a girls' Labor Day weekend. We were encouraged to make reservations, especially on the weekend, and we did. Mom had the grouper sandwich, which I tried a nibble of, and it was delicious! The fries were scrummy, too. I got a blackened fish taco on a corn tortilla & it was outstanding! Had a side of house made pineapple slaw--it was good. We started the meal by splitting the two Maryland crab cakes and aioli sauce. Probably THE BEST I've had in a land-locked city! We split a key lime pie in a mason jar for dessert. Tasty but a tad too sweet for my liking--not that I abstained from polishing off the last bite! lol We were near a speaker so it was a tad hard to hear the conversation, but mostly background noises were acceptable. If I'm ever in Bentonville again, I most definitely will come back.

Ordered the Duner and Chefs choice. The Chef's choice ended up basically just being the Duner but…read more$5 more expensive and worse tasting. The presentation of the rolls was horrible--looked like it was made on an assembly line without any care for what made it onto each individual piece of the roll. The rolls also just weren't made well and many of the pieces fell apart after attempting to pick them up. Worst part of the whole thing was the embarrassing attempt to have lemon be apart of the rolls. The lemon slices were big and non-uniform--they looked like they belonged slotted on the rim of a glass of water not on a sushi roll. Instead of providing a nice hint of tartness, the lemon just overpowered any other flavor. Beyond that, they were just carelessly strewn across the top of the roll, so the coverage for individual pieces was laughable. Horrible experience. Up until this time, I would have been recommending Blu over Junto, but now I'm not even sure it ranks higher than Sushi House. Don't plan to be back anytime soon.

TLDR the Frida Torta was good but could've been better, and the churros were awesome…read more Frida Torta was basically a sandwich of Mexican ingredients. The bread was crisp, the sandwich held together nicely, and it had good flavor. But I think there could've been more meat; it was basically one small layer and the ratio was off compared to other ingredients. I also wasn't a big fan of the beans - I got some very pasty bites sometimes. Fries were good. Could've been a little crispier, but not a big deal. The filled churros were absolutely delicious, but they only gave me two? It used to be 3, referencing my first review. Waitress was polite and attentive.

What appeared to be the owner, was very attentive and personally greeted and interacted with each table. She asked if "we were happy" I was so happy! I had literally told my mate that several times, but it was touching that was how she asked. It is just a feel good place, and it means even more to know that the waiters and owner want happy customers! Wings, catfish, fried shrimp, mac n cheese, salad bar, and fried apple/peach pies were all delish! DELISH. Will definitely be back for another meal and to try make some progress with the resident kitty! PS We would love shirts with the picture from your menu! It is soooo cool!!!

Cornbread: The cornbread was soft, airy, and fluffy, with a…read morelight texture that made it really enjoyable. It wasn't dense or dry, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Crawfish Bites: The crawfish bites were battered to perfection. The batter was soft and airy rather than heavy or overly crispy, giving the bites a light texture. The accompanying cherry wine sauce tasted similar to honey mustard, but with much less mustard flavor. It was sweet, mild, and paired nicely with the crawfish bites. Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon: The brown sugar glaze was delicious and easily the highlight of the dish. The salmon, however, was a little overcooked and wasn't as flaky and tender as what I've had at five-star restaurants. Still, the glaze helped make the dish enjoyable. Yukon Mash: The Yukon mashed potatoes were airy, light, and tasty. They had a nice texture and complemented the salmon well. Vegetables: The vegetables were probably my least favorite part of the meal. They were fine, but they didn't stand out compared with the other components of the dish.

I love seeing new businesses open in Downtown Conway.( I also own business in downtown Conway. )…read moreThe reality is this restaurant is scaring away customers with such strong talk of dress code and turning people away by appearance I understand what they're trying to do, but maybe the approach is a little too rigid w/o much explanation to the general public. The food is impeccable. Everything I've put in my mouth from every visit is amazing. They are also supporting other local food vendors that have businesses downtown, which I super appreciate!! We have had the same server Kadevin on both our visits and he is wonderful very attentive very personable. Knows the menu, shows interest, but gives you the space & he is top-notch. The bar has made a specialty sangria drink for me that's not even on the menu, they did it perfectly! I feel like there should be some kind of special for lunch and dinner each day because the menu is small and stagnant after you go a few times. Needs a little bit more uniqueness on the menu -like a hook item that you crave and go back for. Overall, I definitely recommend this restaurant. I love the environment. I love the food. I love the people working. They have some kinks to work out, but I feel certain they will do that! Give them a shot.

We had a 6:00 reservation at Seven oaks. When we walked in there was no hostess but after about 5…read moreminutes someone told us to either wait at the bar or at an area to the side. At this time we could see only 2 tables were occupied and the rest were in various stages of being ready to seat customers. At about 6:15 we walked over to the bar where someone eventually came up and said they didn't have any tables. We informed him we had a 6:00 reservation so he put us at a table with no water glasses and no napkins. The people we were with ask for some water, he and his wife were brought water but my husband and I had to ask to get some. After another 15 or 20 minutes a server finally came to our table. We ordered 3 glasses of red wine and an iced tea. We also went ahead and ordered an appetizer and our entrees. Quite a bit later they walked out with 3 glasses of white wine. We pointed out on the menu the wine we ordered and she took the menu with her and began looking through bottles. After a while she came back and said they didn't have it so we ordered a different wine. More waiting then the brought the 3 glasses of red. We had to ask about the iced tea. When it came it was full to the top with room temperature tea and no ice!!! Had to ask for that to be served with ice. While waiting for another lengthy time period for the appetizer (they don't serve bread or anything) we actually considered leaving! Eventually the appetizer came. After finishing that we were in for another long wait. 3 of us ordered the duck and a filet was the other order. In the mean time a few people came in and were turned away so there were still only 3 tables occupied. When we finally got our food my husband's steak was cold! It had probably been sitting up there for ever waiting for the duck to be ready! The only thing I can say good about the experience is that the duck was good but in no way worth the frustration. I can't imagine how this place has stayed open for 2 years. It is very expensive and the worst service of any place we have ever been. Lesson learned, should have gone to Mike's place!!
