Very cool little resturant. Equally amount of outside seating and indoor. The vibe was very relaxed but very upscale. Casual to comfortable dress attire. We stopped on a tues night late dinner. We where greeted and given our seating preference. Our waiter was very busy so service was catching up. The waiter was outstanding. Very friendly, helpful and checked on us appropriately. He was very good. The resturant was mildly busy. We sat outside on a balcony that over looked the main road thru town. The menu was short but covered a variety of choices with fish beef and pork options. A few salads and several starters. The cocktail list was impressive with several signature cocktails. The wine selection was over the top with the range of choices. We had 2 variations of margaritas and they were very tasty. The quality and craftsmanship was so true with these cocktails. Very fresh with all of the right flavors ... so good we each had 2. We both got cesear salad. Wow! The dressing on the very fresh romain lettuce was fresh and definitely house made. Next was the main course. We both ordered the exact same think. Grilled wild caught salmon with jasmine rice and grilled asparagus. The glaze was a slightly sweet raspberry sauce that was a surprise and perfect compliment to perfectly prepared salmon. The meat flaked apart with a fork but had a crisp outer layer. The jasmine rice with a perfectly aromatic flavor. Topped with grilled asparagus that was tender and fresh. Overall the dish was 100% amazing and prepared so perfect. I think we both licked our plates clean. This place is 5 star plus!! Fresh and quality at it best from the cocktails to the crisp asparagus and salmon perfectly prepared. Thank you to our waiter!

So glad we stopped here for lunch on our day trip to Eureka Springs! We had Crab cake appetizer, Shrimp and Grits, arugula and Goat Cheese salad and onion straws. Everything was amazing!

Best meal in Eureka Springs yet. Unpretentious, friendly spot for weekend brunch. Excellent service and good-sized portions of food for the price. Nice patio dining overlooking Main Street. Did not attempt reservations but arrived early and beat the crowd.

When we go to Eureka Springs, Local Flavor is a must for us for Sunday Brunch. We have eat here every time we come to town and have never been disappointed. Make sure you get an appointment or come early. The juevos rancheros are the best!

My wife and I walked by this place on our way to get tacos and stopped in to check out their menu. Everything looked good so we ate here instead and they even had tacos on their menu! Ken was AMAZING. I own a car dealership and his level of service was world class. I am leaving this review because of him.

Made reservations for a date night while on vacation. They have a large cocktail selection and all the ones we tried were delicious. I had the steak and my date had the fettuccine Alfredo. The steak was perfectly cooked and the fettuccine was amazing. We topped off our dinner with the chocolate creme brulee which was perfectly rich and decadent. A wonderful date night atmosphere with quick and friendly service.

Robin was a great server! Excellent local beers. Our meals were locally sourced and terrific. Sat on the outside balcony with views of the historic downtown.
