Tried one of the March dinner specials and had a great experience overall. The cherry blossom cocktail was really tasty — nice mix of flavors. Even the water had good flavor, which I always appreciate. The hot crab dip was a standout: creamy, flavorful, and served hot with the perfect dip-to-toast ratio. The crab came in nice chunks, and the bread made great scoops (though a bit dry). I went with the crab cakes to keep with the theme — fresh crab, great flavor, and solid breading. The mango rice was a bit disappointing — decent texture, but the mango flavor didn’t really come through. The aioli was really good, just wish there had been more of it. For dessert, I got the banana pudding — very good overall. The cream on top was fluffy, the crust had great flavor (a bit firm), and everything came together nicely. I am partial, though — I love banana desserts. Parking is a little tricky due to construction, but they offer valet which helps. Clean single-stall restrooms with vacancy indicators, and service was quick and attentive. Total was $67.91 before tip — not cheap, but felt fair for a solid dinner. I’d recommend it.

I finally made it to this spot after living in Little Rock for **over 11 years**—and wow, what a treat! My coworkers and I headed there for lunch, and thank goodness one of them made reservations because this place fills up **FAST** during lunchtime. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated promptly, setting the tone for a fantastic meal. Our server? **A total gem**—energetic, engaging, and made the whole experience even better (sadly, I didn’t catch his name!). Now, onto the food. **Shrimp enchiladas? A+**—so delicious! My coworkers also got the hot crab dip and practically **licked the plate clean**, so I’ll take their word that it was amazing. Dessert was a hit too—a couple of them ordered the strawberry shortcake and were **happily slurping away** like kids in a candy store. Overall, **a top-tier dining experience!** I’ll definitely be back—this time with the hubby. **Pro tip:** Make reservations if you’re heading there for lunch during the week—it gets packed, and we saw plenty of people waiting for a table!

So fantastic. The lobster bisque is to die for, you will never eat canned soup again! Both of us had the Kobe burger and I can say I’ve never had a better burger in Arkansas. Just wow, and our waitress was nothing short of perfect ❤️💞🥰
