I had another wonderful experience at Lost Creek Grill on Airport Rd. Our server (I didn't catch…read moreher name) was very polite and attentive without ever being overbearing, which made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. The food was delicious as always. My guest and I both ordered the 8oz sirloin--mine cooked medium and hers medium well--and they were both absolute perfection. The salads were cool, crisp, and fresh, a perfect start to the meal. And I have to say, the fried mushrooms were hands down the best I've ever had! Lost Creek Grill continues to deliver excellent food and service, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

It was fairly quiet, so our server was quick and attentive. The overall vibe is country-ish with country music in the background, a smallish dining area, and a bar. You'll be served a warm loaf of bread that is really delicious. There is a dedicated menu as well as chef specials. My husband chose the hickory smoked ribeye with mac and cheese, I opted for the wagyu filet. (What the sign didn't say was it was only 4oz, so keep that in mind if you're feeling hungry!) My husbands meal was cooked to perfection, my filet was more well than medium, but was still juicy and tender. Both had lots of flavor and were delicious. Thankfully I was not super hungry, so if I were to return I may opt for something with more meat for less money. I would def give this place a try. A lovely family owned business, casual dining experience, good food.

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...

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?

When we first sat down , however, she did mention to us the specials and told us the number one thing they sell was a certain steak on the menu..... it was $88. That kinda turned me off from the beginning. We ordered calamari to start.... Frozen calamari with zero flavor, tasted like Costco. Horrible texture. We decided to share the american pharaoh which was almost $60 but seemed like a lot of food. The steak was over cooked and was not a steak of that price. We both thought it tasted exactly like the Costco filets we buy and grill at home. The crab cake on top was for sure a frozen crab cake with not a lot of crab. Was just not good at all. For desert we got the chocolate cake. It was decent but definitely not a homemade dessert. Our bill, before tip, was $150. This meal, To us, wasn't worth $50. I would not recommend this place. The bathroom closest to us was connected to a bar and was so gross. The place has zero ambiance and the food was terrible. We will not be back.
