We especially enjoyed stopping in for a cocktail before having dinner at one of the nearby restaurants that don't open until 5PM, and sometimes an after dinner drink later in the evening. But now they've inexplicably moved their hours up from 4PM to 5PM. So now we're missing that pleasant beginning to the evening, and they're missing out on that business. What a shame. I hope they'll reconsider this change.

Craft cocktails without the super young crowd, great music, a clean atmosphere that was dark yet welcoming. If I lived in any surrounding town I'd be a regular here without a doubt.

There is no question that anytime in the NWA area, I'll be having a unique, strong, delicious beverage from Pinky Swear.

That was The Botanical which is a few blocks from the center of town. Calm and quiet here, they have a full bar of draft beers, wine, spirits, canned and bottled beers. I was pleased to spot something imported and enjoyed my Gaffel Kölsch while posting a review and then figuring out what's for dinner tonight. Friendly, laid-back service here. They have some TVs tuned to sports but it seems like it's more European football than American football that catches the interest at The Botanical.

They were able to seat us without a reservation, which is always a plus. A girl came over to take our order and asked to see our ID's. We gave them to her, she said she would go get the drinks. However, she went to who I assume was the manager and sent him over to look at ID's again. He said he can not serve us since my boyfriends "ID expires today". It was his birthday. He just moved halfway across the country to be with me (2+ years long distance). I asked "okay, it expires today - so good through midnight?" and they said no. We ended up just leaving. We've been here before and everything is usually good. I understand the law is the law - but do have gone 3 other places downtown without an issue and to be met with the curtness we were, I can't say it was a good experience this time. They could have handled it better.

Well Yelpers, I've found my new fave Northwest Arkansas restaurant! TBH, I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived. It looked like a modernized restaurant with an open kitchen. I opened the door to the restaurant and waited to check in and a handsome young boy asked if I had reservations and I advised I didn't and he asked if I wanted to sit indoor or outdoor. He grabbed a menu and helped me to my table. I was quickly greeted by a staff member and given a glass of water and was told that there isn't an assigned server but that multiple staff members will work together to attend my table. After eating American and Italian food all week on my business travels, I was craving some authentic simple home cooked food and this location brought me virtually home for dinner. For those of you that know me or have been following my review journey, have gotten to know my household ethnicities. When I saw the House 1830 Menu, it was a delightful mix of Vietnamese and Laotian food! The color purple was present from accent walls by the kitchen to my cloth napkin on the plate sets, to the "seasonal" menu font color all tie together with staff uniforms including the outdoor purple umbrella above the outdoor seating space. They even have custom pillows on the bench seating with the House 1830 logos. Susana, one of the owners came to greet me and asked if I've been here before or if it's my first time. She shared that her husband Binh was the head chef today and many patrons typically think it's a fusion restaurant but it's really a family inspired menu that keeps the food as authentic as possible. Binh is Vietnamese and their sister in law Bé is Laotian. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Bé as she was celebrating her birthday elsewhere as she should. Susana shared that her contribution is the inspired cocktail menu...which had so many yummy options that you don't see anywhere else. They had a Lychee Martini on the menu but I see it often everywhere so I ordered the Longan Martini to try and it was delish! I started with my roots and ordered a Vietnamese House Sampler described as a sampling of the crowd favorite starters. Cha Gio | Mini Banh Xeo | Bo Xien Tam for $21. The eggrolls were crispy and had the right amount of filling well seasoned, the Bite-size Banh Xeo shrimp crepes was light and the flash fried marinated beef skewers were seasoned to perfection with a family marinade. Lettuce, cilantro, mint along with the various nuoc cham (dipping sauces) were great! I didn't want to fill up as I wanted one of my favorite Lao dishes Nam Khao - Crispy red curry seasoned rice combined with small chunks of cured pork, and spices. It comes with lettuce, mint, cilantro where you can eat it like a lettuce wrap or eat it as is like fried rice for $18. This light entree for me hit the spot. The staff was exceptional, occasionally stopping g by to check if my water was ok or if I needed anything. I went to check out the bathroom to wash my hands and thought the wall murals were trendy and happy to see the restrooms were clean. I stopped at the open kitchen and complimented the chef and his staff on my delicious meal. They were very cheery and thankful for the compliment. Went back to my table and contemplated another cocktail or dessert but I was really beyond stuffed and figured I'll be back and to save options for my next visit. Chef Binh stopped by my table and we started talking about a little of everything. The restaurant concept, the seasonally inspired menu and to keep things fun for regular diners, shhhh....you didn't hear it from me...but there's even a secret menu that changes often! You'll have to ask or sign up to get the details! You don't get many seasonal menu options from Asian restaurants so I love that they have a seasonal menu and a secret one that only the special members know about! Come check out House 1830! You will not be disappointed yes, I'll be back to visit Binh, Susana and team! Thanks for the hospitality! Thank you, Zerric for the best recommendation! Xoxo
