The sauce on my chicken was overpowered with lemon flavor. My coworker ordered lobster bisque that was just broth. No chunks of lobster. He said the broth was good. The bread however was delicious. The lobster roll he ordered was drowned in sauce. The atmosphere was adorable and the staff was so friendly that we really wanted to like it. My martini tasted like I was drinking straight olive juice (some may love it like this)

Ahi seared tuna with spicy rub.

Had the GF Calamari & Brussels Sprouts for appetizers. Got the Ahi Tuna & the pork chop for meal. Service was outstanding. Ambiance was quiet as it was a Monday. Would return.

Lobster Bisque
Von W.

Petit & Keet was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Little Rock. We had a great meal, great service and a few pleasant surprises that really stood out. Food (9/10) Lobster Bisque (6/10): This was the only miss for me. It was a little too watery to be called a bisque, the lobster was overcooked for my liking, and it just needed more flavor. Birria Empanadas (10/10): These are usually only served during happy hour, but we asked if they happened to have any left, and they graciously said yes. I'm so glad they did. These were phenomenal--honestly one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. The crispy shell reminded me of the Wonton Tacos at Applebee's, and the filling was creamy, cheesy, meaty... just ridiculously good. Paneed Chicken (9/10): I stole a few bites from my wife's entrée, and it was excellent. The chicken was lightly breaded, tender, and flavorful, and the sauce tied everything together nicely. Brussels Sprouts (8/10): These were good, but we've had better. I would've liked them just a little more tender. Sipstock Star (7/10): If you enjoy drinks that mimic the taste of alcohol, you'll probably like this one. It wasn't sweet, but it had good flavor. Spice Spice Baby (10/10): Now this was my kind of mocktail. Sweet, refreshing, and exactly what I was hoping for. Service (8/10) Robbie took great care of us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. We never had to wait on anything. Ambiance (9/10) Petit & Keet feels like it can be whatever you need it to be. It has a little sports bar area, a little upscale casual patio section, and a little fine dining area all under one roof. The lighting, décor and overall atmosphere make it feel warm and inviting. Lagniappe (10/10) Before we were even seated, we got a glimpse of the kind of place this is. We came in through the side entrance, and a gentleman wearing a chef's apron walked in behind us. He apologized that one of the doors wasn't working, fixed it, asked if we had a reservation, looked it up, and seated us himself. I never asked who he was, but I got the feeling he was either the owner or someone with a lot of pride in the restaurant. Those aren't things you see every day. Then, after we got home, I realized I'd lost my receipt, which I needed for expense reimbursement. I stopped by the next day, and they explained they were in the middle of prepping for dinner service but promised to text me a copy later. Sure enough, a few hours later, my receipt showed up exactly like they said it would. It's little things like that that separate good restaurants from great ones. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in Little Rock.

So I have never got to try this restaurant. My wife on the other hand has eaten here once or twice. So when I saw their valentines menu come out, I jumped at the chance to grab a reservation. Got there a little early and our table was ready. Since it was a fixed menu, we only had a few options to choose from. First course I chose duck and pancetta, meatball, and my wife chose the Ahi Crudo. Ahi Crudo - flavors were good, just wish they would have gone with a sashimi cut over the thicker cut of tuna. It had a little chew to it. Duck and Pancetta meatball- probably the best seasoned bite of the evening, almost to the point of being too salty. The meatball was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. Second course I chose the lobster bisque, and my wife chose the strawberry and beet salad. Lobster bisque - lobster meat was very tender, and you could taste the good salty water that they boiled it in. The base of the bisque was lacking a depth of flavor. I expected it to be more pronounced lobster flavor in the biscuit itself. It was good. It was just a different flavor than I was expecting. Strawberry / Beet salad - the salad was very good. I liked the cheese that they put on the salad. Luckily I was able to steal a few bites from my wife. Main course I ordered the New York strip, and my wife ordered the lobster risotto. New York Strip - when the steak hit the table, I was very excited. As you can see from the photos, it was cooked perfectly. From the first bite, I could tell the steak was tender, but there was zero flavor. I don't know if the steak was not seasoned at all, or if they were just playing on the drizzle over the top of the mushrooms in the steak to add flavor. But the overall plate was bland and flavor. I had to add table salt, which I almost never do. Lobster risotto- lobster risotto looked amazing. My first bite of risotto that I was able to steal was pretty bland. I tried another bite before my wife finished the entire plate! The second bite was much better had a lot of of the pepper flavor in the risotto. My wife said the lobster was tender and delicious. Dessert! I chose the Tres Leches and my wife chose the chocolate pot de creme. Tres Leches - this cake was probably the overall favorite thing of the evening. You could taste the vanilla and the cream. It was a match made in heaven. The frozen strawberries on top provided a good texture contrast. Chocolate pot de creme- this was an amazing dessert also. The depth of flavor in the chocolate cream was truly remarkable. You could taste the different chocolate. Rich and decadent for the last bite. We chose to add the wine pairing on with the mail. All the ones were pretty good. Nothing earth shattering, but all paired well with the meal. Service felt a little rushed, and I understand that valentines is a big day for the restaurant. We would not be halfway through a glass of wine when the next glass of wine for the next course would show up. It almost felt like our server was trying to push the pace of our dining experience. This review will ultimately get updated. Because I never judge a restaurant based on one experience. So we look forward to our next date night, where we can stop by and try the standard menu.

The hair at the top of the plate I found in the food very disappointing  Looks to be a males beard hair

Tried petit an keet for the first time an I was very unpleased I got the 10oz steak an asparagus with potatoes an the asparagus was not cooked all the way and the steak was very salty and couldn't finish my meal because I lost my appetite because I found hair under the food As expensive as this place is it should be spot on an not to mention they messed up on our orders getting them mixed up with the sides and everything The waitress was very nice I didn't catch her name but she had blonde hair and she seen I didn't finish my plate an asked to box it Togo and I mentioned to her I couldn't eat it because I found a hair an she just took the plate to the back and nothing after that I just didn't get to finish my meal or anything This experience shouldn't have been like that it's very sad someone pays that much money to have a experience like that

Tequila mockingbird

This review is for the bar program. Good cocktails is hard to find in this town. This place does it right. They are quick drinks are amazing. Service is on point. Their frozen drinks are refreshing. But today. I got the tequila mockingbird. Balanced. Pretty. Refreshing. Excellent stop if your into cocktails

Peachy Keet
Jelesia M.

This makes my second time at P&K and this time, I was very underwhelmed. Our server, Benjamin, was awesome! The Peachy Keet was strong but amazing! However, I ordered the PK Paneed Chicken just like before and it was kinda bland. Would I return, of course, maybe i'll try something different if so. Of course the establishment is well clean and nice as always.

6oz Sirloin and sides

Food and service was amazing as usual and the valet parking was awesome for people that needed it tonight in the rain! My Elijah Craig Old Fashioned was impeccable as was my wife's espresso martini. Thanks for another fabulous night!

My recent visit to Petit & Keet in Little Rock, AR, was absolutely fabulous. From the moment I walked in, this spot was eclectic and casual which perfectly mirrors the personalities of its founders, Louis Petit and Jim Keet. Meeting Louis Petit was an unexpected highlight. His infectious personality and positive outlook were immediately evident. So cute with his Belgian accent and a knack for making every guest feel special. My meal began with the sushi-grade tuna tartare, a dish that was as visually stunning as it was delicious. The freshness of the tuna was amazing. Next, I had the grilled Caesar salad, a creative twist on a classic The smoky flavor from the grill surprised me. It was great. The pièce de résistance was the red snapper. Cooked to perfection, it melted in my mouth like butter. Petit & Keet is a must-visit destination in Little Rock. Stop in and tell Louis I said Hello!

Ribeye
Passion R.

When I say Petit & Keet is the best dining experience in Little Rock, I mean that. This place delivers on every level--food, service, ambiance, and that "this is a special night" kind of energy. We came here for my spouse's birthday, fresh off a stay at The Burgundy Hotel, and we dressed up nice because we knew this was the spot. And from start to finish, it was everything we wanted. The food was NEXT level. Every plate was beautifully presented and actually tasted as good as it looked. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, the brussels sprouts had that crisp-but-not-burnt balance, and the sauces? Whew. That compound butter on the steak? A moment. Everything was seasoned to perfection--no bland bites here. But what really made this night was the atmosphere. Elegant but not stuffy, upscale but still welcoming. You could tell the staff cared about making the experience feel special. The service was top-tier--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. They knew their menu and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. Petit & Keet isn't just a restaurant, it's a whole experience. If you want a high-end meal that actually delivers on taste, this is where you go. Five stars, no question.

My steak au poivre- very good, and well presented

I've never had a bad meal at any Senior Tequila location - I did run into a pretty dirty bathroom…read moreat the West Cantrell location though. The food is consistently good, the dips smooth, and service could not be better.

Senior Tequila (Rodney Parham) started off strong but ultimately disappointed where it matters most…read morethe food. We arrived as a party of five and were seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant itself was clean, well-kept, and there wasn't anything to criticize about the atmosphere or cleanliness. Our server greeted us within two minutes of being seated, and our margaritas arrived in less than seven minutes. Service throughout the meal was friendly and prompt. The small margarita is one of the best values on the menu at just $4. It was decently strong without being overpowering, making it an easy recommendation if you're stopping in for drinks. We ordered the large cheese dip ($12.95), which came out quickly and piping hot. It was perfectly acceptable smooth, flavorful, and without any major flaws but it also wasn't memorable. At nearly $13, it feels overpriced for what you get. The fountain soda was $2.99, which is pretty standard these days. Unfortunately, like many restaurants I've visited in Little Rock, the soda tasted flat. The food took a little longer to arrive, but that's never a problem if it's fresh and worth the wait. Unfortunately, that's where everything fell apart. The Birria ($12.99) was a major disappointment and one of the weaker versions I've had. The Combo #2 (two enchiladas with rice and beans) was even worse. The enchiladas were cold, the food tasted stale, and the entire plate was underwhelming. This visit unfortunately reinforced what has become a frustrating trend for me. I've found it surprisingly difficult to find consistently good Mexican food in Little Rock, and Senior Tequila didn't change that impression. If you're looking for reasonably priced margaritas, quick service, and a clean restaurant, this place checks those boxes. But if you're coming for great Mexican food, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

The decor was very homey and intimate with quirky artwork and a really neat cork BtG design near the bar.

To accompany our happy hour wines my son and I ordered two of his favorite things: Mixed Mediterranean Olives ($5.50) and a Spanish cheese ($9). Perhaps I've spent too long in the Bay Area or perhaps they do things differently in Arkansas but the mountainous bowl of olives that arrived at our table sparked utter joy. This wasn't 5, 10, or even 15 olives; I think it might've been a whole jar's worth. It was not only amusing, but an utter delight. One hundred percent chance of a return visit for the olives alone. We followed with the Spanish cheese and more wine but there was no getting beyond the olives. That's what we'd be talking about. Forever. By the Glass has a good happy hour ($5/glass for selected wine) which pertains only to the wines. It's a low-key, comfortable, unpretentious spot that's received recognition as the best bar, the best wine bar, the best trendy bar, and the best happy hour bar from a variety of publications. During my visit it was quiet and welcoming, an environment I'd feel equally comfortable in either solo or with friends. If you like wine, "By the Glass" is a good find. If you like olives it's even better.
