You have to order at the counter and the girl was very friendly. We both had chicken tenders, which were actually nugget in size. I got french fries with my order and my husband opted for fried okra. Food was ok but both of us had upset stomachs later in the evening. It was also pretty dirty in the resturant. So many other options in Hot Springs, I suggest you pick one of those places instead of here.

Really comfortable inside, friendly service, and freshly made food choices. Excellent prices too.read more

The menu lights up as you open it and everything on it sounded delicious. The servers, Peter and Emily, were so fun and helpful! They brought out these heavenly yeast rolls basted in truffle butter...what??? I got the market fish special which was grouper, and my husband got the grilled pork chop. Come with an empty stomach if you get the pork chop. It is a very generous portion and is delicious! The grouper was perfection...crispy on the outside, light and flakey inside, sitting atop beautiful spring vegetables and a lovely light beurre blanc sauce. It was topped with edible flowers and micro greens. I regret that I did not take a photo (we were so hungry), but it was just divine. The chef came over to ask what we thought and we told him everything was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely. We can't say enough good things. This is what a restaurant experience on vacation should be like. What a gem! Hopefully next time we visit we can try the dessert menu! We won't even get into how they make bread pudding out of those delicious rolls...

I wish I could give this restaurant more stars. Hands down the best dining experience I've had so…read morefar in my life. We happened to stumble upon this gem randomly during our trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas not expecting much but wow were we absolutely blown away. First, you walk into a dimly lit, intimate dining area and seated at a table with very comfy chairs and menus that light up for visibility. Next, your waiter is SO knowledgeable about every item on the menu. I had history lessons about the rice production in the area while learning about which dishes to choose. While waiting for your food, you are served an edgy orange-glazed dinner roll that is simultaneously intriguing and comfortingly familiar. A delicious twist on a classic. The head chef also came around serving an amuse-bouche of another experimental apple dish which was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Food comes- oh my goodness I cannot explain how amazing the Chislic beef tips were. Every component of this dish was just so thoughtfully crafted and well-blended. Each bite was bursting with flavor and energy. My partner also loved the potato soup. Our mains were equally impressive- my fennel rice in particular knocked my socks off. I have never tasted rice so decadent and aromatic in my life. The salmon was of course great but certainly not the star of the show. Finally, the bread pudding at the end was the cherry on top of the culinary bliss we had just experienced. I would drive 10 hours back to Hot Springs just for this restaurant. So sad it has to be so far. Do not miss your opportunity to come here if you happen to be in town!!

They managed to make this filet so juicy that we wonders if it had been broiled instead of grilled. Either way, it was great. Also had truffle fries and the grilled oysters. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and just a tad soft on the inside. The way you want them. And the oysters were incredibly flavorful. We splurged with the caviar service the second night. Excellent decision. I hope those who live in the Hot Springs area appreciate what a great restaurant they have. For a town of 37k people, this is a true 5 star restaurant. Also, the wait staff were attentive and friendly. What more can you ask for?

Between the 4 of us the there was a t-bone, New York strip , filet mignon, and chicken cordon bleu. All of us were happy with our entrees. They were all cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.

Initially we hesitated to go in cuz we had our dog with us but the hostess made a point of reaching out to us to tell us they are dog friendly! Awesome! They even gave us a container filled with water for the dog. We ordered two classy dogs (no pun!). The hot dogs are big and beefy and cooked perfectly. Mine had sauerkraut which is homemade and very mild. All ingredients added to the dog were lightly grilled. The French fries come unsalted...they are plenty flavorful on their own....but salt is at the counter/table as are ketchup and mustard. The fries were thin and perfectly crispy! The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Very old fashioned feel with wooden barstools at the counter and booths in the back. Retro decor (mostly origins) Prices are excellent, very budget-friendly.
