We were very excited to take my friend to Kraken Killer Seafood for her birthday, because she loves…read morecrab legs. First thing I noticed is that the menu I was given had a hole in it, and an employee's child was running around the restaurant bothering the guests. The birthday girl ordered crab legs with the lemon pepper sauce: mild. Very soon after she started eating, she noticed that the sauce was not mild. She found it to be very spicy. After awhile, she told the waitress it was too spicy, and she asked for melted butter so she could add it to the sauce and make it less spicy. But it was still too spicy. Then we called the waitress over and told her it was still too spicy. Instead of taking it back and giving my friend a new order, the waitress kept defending it, as if her talking about it being mild would make it mild and thereby change my friend's experience of it being too spicy. The waitress brought my friend another bowl of butter, but by that time, my friend was no longer enchanted with the meal. As we continued eating, all the staff were clattering around, making a racket, moving chairs and even mopping up the floor with a disgusting pan and mop while we were still in the midst of eating. This spoiled my friend's birthday. She said that she would not ever come back to this restaurant. My experience of the food was great. I asked for moderate spice and I liked the flavor and the spiciness. But I was not impressed by the staff. They should have taken my friend's food back and given her a fresh, unspicey meal.

Wonderful Italian food in a beautiful setting. The owner isn't new to the restaurant business in…read moreNWA but hasn't had a location for a while since selling his original building to others several years ago. He started with the Joe's Italian restaurant in Springdale on Hwy 412 which burned his next was on Wedington in Fayetteville. After he expanded in the area, he sold the business to others. They were unable to maintain his quality and have all closed. If you ever ate at any of the original restaurants you would remember the huge garlic rolls served hot to the table while you wait. Those are served here. They make going there worth the trip without having anything else. But, you're gonna want something else, believe me!!! The food speaks for itself. All servings are large and delicious. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. This is a win-win experience.

Beautiful restaurant! I loved the decor and ambiance. It's a classy restaurant…read more Food is pretty good. I enjoyed chicken Piccata . My daughter ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and she thought it was a bit bland. I agree with her . Portions are generous. We couldn't finish our food. Our waitress was very pleasant but service overall seemed very scattered prior to being seated. Everyone was running around , looking confused. We actually came few days prior and were turned around despite calling ahead to confirm hours. After driving for 12 hours ( vacation) we didn't want to drive for nothing . This place needs better customer service and better communication among their staff. Other than that, I think it's a place worth visiting.

We were seated promptly with no wait when we went on a Monday night. Our waitress was great. Reviews recommended the skillet queso, but I didn't care for it.

We ended the meal with the strawberry stack which was the perfect ending to our meal.

Not a lot of parking-which wasn't a problem on a Saturday, but I can imagine it might be on weekdays. Starters: fresh corn tortilla chips in nice silver serving trays. Three kinds of salsa: red (mild), green (extremely flavorful but not spicy) & red (hot-with onion and cilantro). I loved the spicy red and the green. Queso blanco-topped with pico , street corn and jalepeno slices--DELICIOUS!! I ended up adding some of the green sauce to my queso chips: yum! Meals: seafood enchiladas with white cheese sauce, Mexican rice and beans. The seafood had great flavor-I would have skipped the cheese sauce-a little heavy for seafood imo. Hubbie had pork tamales, Mexican rice and beans. He loved the fresh pork with queso Fresca on top. The beans were delightfully fresh as well-not the typical in most Mexican food places. Other sides offered with lunches: pico de Gallo, white rice, steamed veggies. We look forward to going back in a few weeks after they get their liquor license and trying a marg and nachos!

Big shoutout to Macy (forgive me if it's Marcy, my memory is failing me there), who greeted us as the host, was our server, and was on bartending duty and made us a great mocktail as well. She made us feel very welcome and got us what we needed with a great attitude. As my wife put it, this place has "good bones." I liked the atmosphere and I overall enjoyed the flavor of the food. I had one of the specials, a steak and mushroom risotto. I was a bit saddened by the grey color of the steak, improper cook, and the rice was slightly undercooked, but I did enjoy the flavors and I wouldn't say they were far off from nailing it. Another gentleman, not sure if he was the manager or owner, checked on us as well and had a good sense of humor. Overall a good experience and we are definitely rooting for this place! I would love to dine here again to try more.
