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
Vu N.

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

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.

Absolutely amazing--from the food to the service!…read more We had several challenges trying to order online for delivery, but the manager, Carl, went so far above and beyond that I was impressed before I had even tasted the food. He personally showed up at our doorstep, made sure we had our dinner, and helped resolve all of the electronic ordering issues. That level of customer service is incredibly rare. Carl is amazing! And then we tasted the food--and somehow it matched the service. The entrée was fabulous. The combination of the protein, cheese, and pasta was delicious, but then came the bread and butter. Oh my goodness, the bread and butter! I normally avoid bread and eat very few carbs, but I ate every bit of it. The bread was wonderful, and the butter took it to another level. Everything was delicious, and nothing was left behind. Exceptional food paired with truly exceptional service. Thank you, Carl, for turning what could have been a frustrating ordering experience into such a wonderful evening. We will absolutely be back!

The whole thing was a big disappointment. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were obviously leftover. They were hard and dry. After tasting a meatball, I didnt eat them. The meat sauce was ok, but flooded the dish and smothered the pasta. My wife's pasta dish was just OK. Actually, the server pointed out a guy in the kitchen and said he was a Michelin rated chef...sorry, but no way. Doing a search, I read that there are no Michelin rated chefs in Hot Springs. I ordered an expensive glass of red wine and it was served in a small white wine glass. Anyway, I'm not going to waste my time bashing J&S. I think I've made myself clear. It was a total disappointment and a waste of $120.00. Obviously, we wont be going back.

Monday of this week, I stopped in here with some out of town guests for a quick bite during the…read morenoon hour. I had the gumbo and it was excellent! Because of the great experience I had at lunch, I decided to take my wife there on Thursday night for dinner. Let me be clear: Dinner was a hit! I will start with the Atmosphere. I will be honest, the atmosphere is nice enough. The place is clean for sure. It is not as comfortable a place as some and is reminiscent of many restaurants I have been to. By that I mean, it is almost formulaic in it's set up. Nothing about it is unique or screams Arkansas or Little Rock to me. That is OK, I just want to be clear about the ambiance of the place. I still would give it a four out of five stars on ambiance. That said, it only gets better from here! For starters, we shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp appetizer, and it was superb! As good as any you will find in NOLA and definitely the best in Arkansas. I highly recommend. For our main courses, my wife had the bacon wrapped filet and I had the rib-eye. We had never tried Samantha's steaks before and I hate to think what all we have been missing because our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We shared a side of cheese grits and couldn't had a better meal! For our dessert, we shared a slice of their key lime pie, and again, it was wonderful. A strong five star rating for the food here at Samantha's for sure. As good as the food was, our server Taylor was about the best I have seen in Little Rock since the days of Ashley's at the Capitol hotel. Every dish we ordered that I just described was a recommendation from Taylor. I love it when someone knows their stuff and she was super knowledgeable, with just the right amount of tending to us. Not too much looking over our shoulder every two minutes, but always there when we needed her. Samantha's is lucky to have her on their team. Another strong five star rating regarding service. Can't wait to go back. I feel like they are hitting their stride at Samantha's!

I ordered a fried green tomatoes appetizer and Tom Yum grilled shrimp entree w/ a cucumber onion salad side. The app presentation was as expected garnished and dressed with roumalade. The finished quality was sub par. The tomatoes edges were good but the center was so thick it was crunchy, 4 slices $16. The entrées are solo yet there is an expectation of an elegant presentation. Nope...two undressed, ungarnished skewers of dry shrimp on a plate for $19. That's it, that's all. The best item of the meal was the marinated 2 ingredient "salad" which was... sweet & savory $12. Lastly, what ended up being a "concept" of key lime pie. Presentation glorious, a dinner sized plate decorated with swirls and a decent size helping of a sweet item. This was what looked like an inch of cake crumbs that were recycled by pressing into a form with a 1/4 inch thin layer of key lime custard over top. $9
