    This restaurant is inside the crystal bridges museum in Bentonville. The architecture is beautiful, as are the views, but the food is just average. I got a veggie melt, which was soggy. All sandwiches come with shoestring fries, also soggy and cold. There were several sandwiches, including a turkey melt, grilled cheese, and a Reuben. It's basically a service where you order at the counter, take a number, and wait for your food. The people serving the food try to do the best with what they have. It was crowded the day I went, so seating was tough. The high top tables they have are ridiculous and difficult to manage for a 5'2 person like myself. Expensive for what it is, but that's expected from a cafe inside a museum. If you're at the museum, you're probably going to eat there anyway as a captive population.

    We stopped to rest and have lunch on a Sunday while touring the museum and grounds. At lunch, you order at the counter and food is delivered to your table. We were glad to see that Black Apple hibiscus cider was an option. The brunch menu was still up so we ordered the brisket hash, the wedge salad, and the ancient grains. The hash was a standout!!!!! Really delicious. (I stole a couple of bites.) My grain salad was delicious as well. The Wedge was OK. Dessert offerings looked a bit sparse. I would not hesitate to eat lunch at this museum restaurant!

    Fish sandwich, fries, and salad

    Had a great lunch during our day at Crystal Bridges! You order at the counter and then they bring you your food. Everything looked good to us, so we asked the cashier what he recommended. We got the fried fish sandwich with fries and a side salad and everything was delish! A great stop if spending time at Crystal Bridges

    Pan Seared Salmon

    Valentines dinner February 2020. Pre-set menu and we ordered weeks in advance when we reserved our table. Overall we had a good experience. We dined with two other couples and we able to try several items. Course one: Butter Lettuce Salad. Salad was good but not a lot of taste but I did enjoy it. Course Two: Root Vegetable Melange. Loved this item. The fresh beets made the dish for me. Another person in our group did not like the beets so I enjoyed hers also. Course Three: Pan Seared Salmon. Excellent. Loved every bit of it. Salmon had lots of flavor. Course four: Peanut Butter Chocolate Bombe Cake. I'm not a big sweet eater but this cake was amazing. Loved the taste of it and could've had a second please. Overall great meal and great evening. Service was good and all the tables were socially distanced. Atmosphere is always good.

    Impossible burger with fries

    Ambiance Beautiful cafe located inside of Crystal Bridges Art Museum. Time of Day Thursday Lunchtime Note: They were setting up for an event while we were finishing our meal and did not rush us in anyway once we finished eating. Food Fries were salty. Catfish sandwich was just okay, I enjoyed the cornbread much more! *vegetarian options available Overall I would return to try more items on the menu.

    Coffee Bar with portable eats.

    First, great coffee. The potato cauliflower soup was good too and scalding hot. What was not good was the service: perfunctory with a side of snarkiness. No hello, no smile, no thank yous, neither from the cashier, nor the barista. No bueno. But as it's the only place to eat at the lovely Crystal Bridges Art Museum except for the pretzel cart outside, you're kind of stuck. There's great coffee and good soup served elsewhere with a smile though so next time I'll just wait.

    Inside the Crystal Bridges Museum; there's a dining hall that has windows all around and beautiful architecture overhead I was tempted to give this a 3 star actually because as the other reviewers said, pretty limited selection of food and a little pricey. However, the inside is very nice and my friends had a decent lunch that wasn't too crowded but felt on the fancier side of the museum. Also if you grab a table, the ladies that brought us food were so sweet! I wanted to hug them! My eleven burger was pretty filling - I would like to remark that the cheese on this burger was memorable. Simple melted white cheese but I think it was thinner than most and it tasted really good with the patty

    Chicken salad
    Angie W.

    We ate at eleven since we were already at Crystal bridges. The dining room is casual, but the views are so pretty. I love the giant windows on each side where you can look out. They have a good sized menu. I wasn't totally impressed with their chicken salad, especially since they're were were only two crostini's that came with it and the majority of the fruit was rotten. I would eat here again if at Crystal bridges, but it's not something I'd seek out.

    Nicoise salad with salmon
    Elaine M.

    We arrived at the Crystal Bridges cafe in time for a late lunch before starting our exploration of the museum. This is walk up and order place. They will give you a number to take to your table and then deliver the food. The setting is very lovely and we able to get a table by the window overlooking the water. Daughter and I both ordered the same lunch. A Nicoise salad with grilled salmon. We thought it odd that it didn't have either olives or tuna. A bit nontraditional. It did have the green beans, egg and potatoes. The salad dressing was very good. The salmon had really nice flavor though a tad over cooked. I did think the prices on high side. It was over $40 for two salads and two soft drinks.

    Octopus and grits
    Dina P.

    The restaurant in Crystal Bridges is amazing. We had octopus and grits as an appetizer which was delicious. The cornbread and sweet cutter that comes with your meal melts in your mouth. The steak was yummy. The veggies are served family style. although, there is an extra charge, we suggest getting the mushrooms. We will definitely come back

    Ozarks bahn mi
    Alexandra R.

    I'm a little shocked at the reviewer below who thinks they had a "Hillbilly" bahn mi. It is in fact called the Ozark bahn mi, and I'd bet that no menu item here was ever called a hillbilly anything. Crystal Bridges is far too elegant for that. Eleven offers a fantastic dining room and a decent dining experience at fair prices. IN keeping with the friendly tone of Bentonville, while we waited in line, folks ahead of us passed menus back so we could peruse the selections before landing at the counter. While far from being a traditional bahn me, I did enjoy my sandwich. I did miss the pickled daikon and carrot, plus cilantro that usualy accompanies a bahn mi. But the pulled pork was extremely tender, and the pickle and hot pepper improved the flavor. My husband enjoyed the Eleven burger.

    A bit overpriced and not too tasty at $12 a plate for a burger or chicken sandwich with chips. I do consider this a worthy donation to the museum, but the quality is still overall 3 stars. Sorry Christal Bridges. The free waters were nice and in a nice glass.

    Had an amazing date night at Preacher's Son. Service was incredible!! We loved our server (Natalie…read moreI think?) and the drinks were strong and delicious. I loved the interior and how it was decorated. The grilled cheese was the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Definitely wouldn't be enough if there were more than 2 people at the table though. The pork porterhouse was good, the butter on top really gave the meat its flavor. The pasta was amazing. Great portion sizes for both. Overall: amazing classy dinner spot in NWA, would definitely come back!

Surprised to find a restaurant this caliber without a tasting menu however, the choices were interesting enough that we tried out these strawberry appetizer which combines in season strawberries with a tart cream sauce, and a balsamic vinaigrette, making for a sweet and sour combination The bread, butter combo was very good with the butter being infused with some heat. We went for a pretty standard selection of steak for two which was well prepared and came with a side of mushrooms and potato cakes. Honestly, the winner of the night was the wine. A nice wine list selection that included choices from California, Spain, France. We went with a rioja reserve which was a great pairing. There is no Sommelier or suggested wine pairings on the menu. The service was solid however, once the restaurant filled up, we found ourselves somewhat on our own. The dessert menu had a nice selection, but nothing that jumped out at us. Overall, a really interesting space, pleasant service, good food, great wine, and a nice evening.

When I asked a simple question about what made the fries accompanying the ribeye "spicy," our server responded with a series of questions rather than a straightforward answer, including asking if I had issues with nightshades and what level of heat I tolerate on the Scoville scale. The interaction felt unnecessarily complicated and somewhat condescending. After checking with the kitchen, she said the fries could be made without the spice, so I ordered the dish. However, she then informed me that the ribeye itself had a chili rub, requiring another trip to the kitchen. While they ultimately said it could be prepared without the rub, I was told it would significantly delay the order. When the steak finally arrived, I was disappointed with the amount of fat on it, much more than the typical marbled ribeye. Overall, while the ambiance was enjoyable, the service created friction in what should have been a simple ordering process. A more direct and customer-friendly approach would have made a big difference. The F&B manager reached out to me through my Open Table information which I respected however, we don't plan on returning.

We got appetizers to split and they came out portioned into two separate bowls and plates. Really appreciated that! Complimentary corn bread and butter was good too. It's in the 21c hotel and has the fun green penguins randomly placed. Hotel guests pass through the hallway to get to the front desk but wasn't too distracting. Squash soup: 2 I don't know what happened, but mine was extremely salty. The other portion of squash soup was fine. We tasted each others and something went wrong with the salt. Gem lettuce salad: 3 Dressing was too acidic for both salad portions. Salmon: 5 Really good flavors. Well executed. Wagyu: 5 Really well done. Loved the flavors with the carrot and sweet potato puree.

Literally across the street from the very first Walmart (Walton's), and whether you love 'em or hate 'em, it's pretty cool history. The food, you ask? Fabulous!!! The chips were homemade and crispy, with the house salsa being fabulous, we got their HOT salsa as well, which was super flavorful, but certainly not hot. Of course we started with Margaritas (The Hollywood), which infused pineapple into the drink and I could have downed 5. Had to drive back to the hotel, so one was sufficient. Yum! I had the Curry Chicken Burrito... what???! Curry in a burrito?? Incredible!! My compadre had some sort of chicken tostada thing that was also a hit. The ambience was upscale modern, but not too flashy with plenty of room between the tables. A gigantic thanks to Rosa for turning the 4.5 stars into 5! She was friendly, funny and efficient with a smile that brightened the night! Highly recommended if you are in Bentonville, Arkansas! Cheers
