I'm really confused why so many people rave about this place. It was grossly overpriced. Food quality was poor and overcooked. For example, another restaurant, in Houston no less, offered a house made tortellini dish with TRUFFLES for $32. Maybe I should've considered my options a bit more but the reviews and recommendations set high expectations. The ambience / vibe felt poorly executed. Seems like they use the side room for storage. During our visit the door was left open, and it was obvious employees were going in and out to watch the basketball game. The one positive was the drinks. read more

We stopped at Eden for my sister's bachelorette dinner! They were very accommodating at sat us in the back area for our party of 12. The cocktails were delicious and the food came out in a timely manner. We enjoyed several appetizers and enjoyed our food. We did feel that the price point was a little high for what we ordered, but overall it was a good experience. More touristy, but it fit with what we needed it for! read more

Eden - Surf and turf with double baked potato! - New American Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying brunch for a 4th time at this establishment, and it exceeded all expectations as usual. From the moment we arrived, the owner greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. His attentiveness continued throughout the meal, adding a personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. The service was impeccable--our waiter, Robert, was courteous, attentive, and ensured every detail was perfect. The culinary offerings were outstanding; each dish was prepared with care and presented beautifully. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly. My husband had the shrimp and grits which he shared a few bites of and next time I will order that! It was amazing! A particular highlight was the mimosa flight, accompanied by a chilled bottle of champagne served in an elegant ice bucket, alongside fresh juices. This thoughtful touch elevated the entire experience. The ambience was equally impressive. The natural light streaming through the skylight created a warm and inviting atmosphere, complementing the tasteful décor and overall sense of refinement. This restaurant delivers an exceptional combination of quality cuisine, superior service, and a sophisticated setting. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. read more

Eden - Mimosa flight! - New American Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

We came for dinner on a Sunday night. The host had asked us if we had reservations, but we did not. However, not sure why we were asked because it was not busy. Laquan was our server and he was excellent. I had a Cosmo that was tasty. For my entree, I had the salmon. Their dessert menu is large! We ordered the dreamsicle cake which states serves two, but it can easily serve 5! Check them out. read more

The food was delicious!!! Our server was so sweet. Not sure about the Bloody Mary. We sat on the patio and it was lovely!! Note: the owners were very rude to my friend. She did not like the Bloody Mary they served and she asked for a different drink. He took offense and charged her anyway. It was very upsetting. I'm changing my review to Match the unpleasant ending to a very tasty meal. read more

Eden - Shrimp and Tasso Shrimp - New American Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

We went out for dinner. We couldn't decide, so based on photos and reviews, we came here! We were greeted as soon as we walked in. We were asked if we had a reservation (which we didn't), so the hostess said she'd check if we could be seated. Funny enough, once we were, there were only 3 tables taken. I ordered the stea, which was great. The cocktails were good, too. Our server and the bartender were friendly. At the end, we ordered the orange cake for dessert. We expected small bites, but we got a whole cake, lol. Overall, great experience. It seems to be a hidden gem. Please note, it's more of a fine dining experience as prices match the ambiance. read more

So glad we don't miss this hidden gem. It's in the back of a bathhouse, Hotel Hale, on Bathhouse Row. We went for brunch (available Saturday and Sunday only.) It's a cozy dining room with a small bar (seats about 4.) Not a huge place so reservations are recommended. Staff were super friendly. I didn't feel out of place in my sweatshirt and jeans but will probably wear something other than a sweatshirt for dinner. It was super cold outside. When you walk into the bathhouse, you can't see the restaurant. Someone at the front desk takes you back to it. The gentleman that took us back was very welcoming. He walked us to our table and gave us information about the menu. If you walk into and no one is at the desk, it's because it takes a moment for them to walk guests back. Be patient. We both had the Vintage Breakfast and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the Morningrita wish was really good. I had their Classic Bloody Mary. Their mix is made in-house and is great. Oh and they have a Mimosa Flight!!! It's a bottle of champagne and your choice of 3 different juices. We tried mango, pineapple, and strawberry kiwi. All were spectacular. We will definitely be going back to try their lunch and dinner menus. read more

The food here is of 5 star quality. We really enjoyed our breakfast. I had the spinach feta quiche, which was probably the best quiche I've ever had in my life. We saw our neighbors, order shrimp and grits and we decided we were absolutely going to order that next time. It looked delicious. Also, the eggs Benedict looked really good. I wish they were open every morning of the week instead of just weekends. read more

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + Superb service from Robert. He was energetic, down to earth, extremely efficient with impeccable situational awareness. + Very comfortable atmosphere. + Quality of food was exceptional high with nothing but the finest of meats, seafood, starch, and vegetables. If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a fine experience. read more

Eden - Cheeseburger, fries and crabcakes. - New American Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Yikes. Maybe everyone was tired after St Patrick's day and/or there was not enough staff because this place, though very cute, was very underwhelming. The food was way too salty. One of my companions could not eat theirs and the other literally dipped their food in water to 'rinse' the salt off. My tuna was so tough it was hard to cut with a knife. The service was slow and they never brought us any rolls until after they served us dinner and we physically got up from our table to ask for them. I felt bad for bringing my guests here and having such a poor experience. I would not recommend going here if you are looking for a luxury dining experience because it was not that. read more

Excellent food. There weren't a lot of people there so I'd say the ambiance was quiet by comparison to other restaurants. We had a couple of well made drinks. The filet tenderloin was juicy and cooked as ordered. We also had a baked potato and the potato cake and both were very good. This is the best restaurant of the trip so far. Also, our waitress was great and not overly aggressive but still checked in a couple of times. read more

A charming hidden gem! Located in the same place the first bath house was, Eden provides a quiet, charming atmosphere. The Eden salad was one of the freshest salads I've enjoyed and I eat a lot of salads! I recommend the sweet potatoes as well as they will melt in your mouth and you likely won't need a desert after that delicious side! I also enjoyed the ahi tuna which was good. Check it out and reserve a spot! read more

A Hidden Gem in Hot Springs! 5 star culinary experience! I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at the Hale Hotel! From the exquisite culinary offerings to the charming accommodations, every detail has been a delight. A huge thank you to Lindsey, the bartender, who mixes up the most fantastic drinks--each one is a flavorful masterpiece! This place has truly captured my heart, and I can't wait to come back for another unforgettable! read more

Eden - New American Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

My friends and I dined here recently and the experience was uneven to say the least. We started with drinks and that was fine. My friend ordered a Caesar salad and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The garlic in the potatoes tasted raw, the potatoes were watery and underseasoned. When my friend asked for a substitute for her disappointing mashed potatoes, the waiter looked appalled, grabbed the plate and flounced off to the kitchen. He was visibly annoyed for most of the rest of our dinner. I ordered the $60 filet w/sherry lobster sauce and scallops. The scallops were good. But there was only enough sauce to cover them but not the steak. The steak itself was completely unseasoned. No butter, no salt, no pepper. It was a quality piece of meat but treated so poorly. The potatoes that came with my meal were spiral cut and roasted but were undercooked in the middle and had no seasoning at all. Very disappointing especially at that price point. read more

Fabulous small bar and dining room with dinner service. Bartender was awesome Lyndsey (sp)- she made great recommendations and great drinks. Filet was perfectly cooked and tender- Ahi was lightly seared and the peanut sauce was delicious. We will return read more

Located inside an old bathhouse turned hotel, this quaint restaurant offered exactly what I wanted! Elevated casual dining experience. The ambience with the plant wall and glass ceiling allowed wonderful natural light to flow in. With chilled mineral water from the springs, bread service (delicious) with table set with room temperate butter and prompt service. I came just before dinner, a less time with only a few other guests coming and going as I dined. Nice to see some mocktails on the beverage menu, I enjoyed the mango mule and it was delicious! I got the vegan mushroom "wings" with the sauces on the side, the ranch tasted a bit to delicious to be vegan, they did say it was house made but I didn't ask about the ingredients. The mushrooms were deliciously crispy and flavorful. The strawberry salad perfect, champagne vinaigrette meshed perfectly with the flavors. I got the gooey butter cake togo and that was unfortunately way too sweet for me. A bite or 2 was all I could palatable enjoy, and it is a large dessert, menu says for 2 but I could easily see 4 people sharing this dessert with no complaints! Service was attentive but not hovering, very enjoyable experience, if I lived in the area I'd be back! read more

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! This restaurant advertises as an upscale establishment however, it's not. The decor is dated and seems thrown together. They have signage for Dippin Dots in the front lobby, at an "upscale restaurant". Go to The Porterhouse instead, where your money will be well spent! Upon arrival we were promptly seated at 6:45, our reservation time. The bartender greeted us at our table and brought the water that each table receives. My husband ordered an old fashion and said it was good. We ordered an appetizer and our food at the same time. 20 minutes after we ordered, our appetizer arrived. We finish it and our plate is taken away. By this time it's roughly 7:20 or 7:30. Keep in mind we ordered our appetizer and meal right at 7:00. At 7:50 our food arrives. My husband ordered the surf and turf, steak cooked medium. He cuts into his steak and it's grey, well done. We notify the one and only server within minutes. The server requested a new steak be cooked, this was another 30 minutes. Therefore I was completely finished with my meal and my husband hadn't even started eating yet. So to sum it all up, we were at the restaurant from start to finish 2 hours, my husband's 2nd steak was still over cooked, my ahi tuna was okay, the sweet potatoes weren't seasoned at all not even salted, and the chocolate cake was dry. After tip our check was $187 and not worth it whatsoever. To add they had ONE server working a dining room that could seat roughly 50 people or more. There was also a bartender she waited on us at our table, she was very sweet however not attentive. read more

Had a wonderful brunch 10/1/23 taking a spur of the moment decision while walking along bath house row in Hot Springs, AR! Saw the oldest bath house building which is now the boutique luxury hotel, "Hotel Hale" (1892) and saw they were serving brunch, but I had no reservations, nor was I currently using the hotel, but on a lark thought I would ask for a spot to have a meal! The maitre'd was so ever polite and informed me he would check to see. He returned and said yes a spot was available! I was brought to their cozy courtyard with a living wall and had full view of their dining area. People busy chatting away, enjoying their mimosas and the ambiance of the room. A water pitcher and drinking glass were immediately available and handy after walking along bath house row with temps in the high 80's! The waiter was good and assisted me with my meal selection - the special that they called a Greek-inspired breakfast for basically the same price of the other menu options was just what fit the bill after a long walk. The gyro meat and potatoes were excellent with the fried egg on top. Seasonings and all that you find in a gyro pita including feta cheese provided for a different but very tasty breakfast. The portion was huge and could easily be split 3 ways except for the egg. All in all I had a wonderful meal that satiated my hunger but also provided for 3 meals following. For ambiance 5 stars, for tasty food 5 stars and 4.9 for wait service as I had to ask for coffee to be refilled. All in all a great meal that is very generously portioned. read more

So I called in to place an order to go and the gentleman told me they're not really taking to go orders right now which made me question why would you say not really. I've been asked to come in and sit down with an order and if you could make it to go and he told me that they have too many people in the restaurant right now and they're full and they're not accepting people to sit down or to go orders and he hung up in my face. Not very good business or professionalism especially for people coming from out of town. . . read more

Great Happy Hour 3-5pm. $5 tap beers in large glass, ice cold. Food was meh. Mixed salad was past its prime with wilted, yellowed, and a few slimy black greens. I should have sent it back. We split seared ahi tuna with rice. Just OK, rice was very oily. read more

I'm venturing a high rating based on a very small sampling of the menu because our overall experience at Eden was so good. We came for drinks and appetizers at the end of a long day of eating and drinking (full disclosure I was a bit hung over) and were warmly welcomed to Eden by the owner, who also happens to be the mayor of Hot Springs, Pat McCabe. Eden is located in the back space of the bottom floor of Hotel Hale, located on the Central Ave., strip in a converted bath house. The atmosphere has a modernized, industrial up-scale style that incorporated natural light from a large, frosty window in the ceiling and a living wall on the back of the room with brick and the ubiquitous white hex tiles found throughout the original buildings in this town. I drank ice water, but she ordered a Cucumber Cilantro Margarita and a Peach Jalapeno Martini, both of which were refreshing, well, balanced, and tasty. We split a beer cheese soup with cauliflower that was hot and hearty. Beer cheese was consistently good in Hot Springs, I should mention. But, Eden recipe stood out. We felt relaxed to take our time. Service was just the right cadence. The mayor took a meal near us and we had some conversation with him about the restaurant, the hotel, and its history. On our next trip to Hot Springs, we will definitely repeat! read more

We had brunch here and the service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious! Would definitely eat here again next trip

Excellent food. Very intimate atmosphere. Very high class, but doesn't make you feel out of place. The drink menu has some very unique and inventive cocktails. All the food was amazing and the service was outstanding. It is a bit on the pricy side, but you definitely get your moneys worth so don't let that stop you. I'd still highly recommend it for a romantic dinner, special occasion, or just because sort of dining out experience. read more

Made a dinner reservation with 5 people for my birthday and we were greeted and seated on time. We were here during the eclipse so there was a limited menu which was disappointing as that was not posted online. Drinks were ordered but incorrect. Bartender/waitress did not know that a tequila sunrise was on those limited menu and just brought strait tequila shots. Someone in our party ordered a salad with additional salmon on top and it came out well before any other entrees. Finally the rest of the food came. We did enjoy the Anaheim chicken very much! The bill came and that's when it was a bit of a disaster. They charged us for the incorrect drink they made, there was a split charge added for 2 people who shared the entree (the excuse from the owner was that it is noted on the regular menu about a split charge but they forgot for the eclipse week menu), and they charged $14 for salmon to be added to the salad rather then $6 because we got the grilled salmon not the smoke salmon. But there is not 2 separate salmons anywhere on the eclipse menu! Once talking to the waitress and the manager it was figured out but took at least 15 minutes. In summary, Food was good but overall this place was not worth the hype. The "garden" is just a small wall with some plants and a dirty skylight. Better views are outside. Mostly bothered by the fact that the staff was not familiar with the eclipse menu and overall unorganized. read more

We loved our time at the Eden. You need to try the eggplant cheese fries. Eggplant Parmesan in finger food! Crispy, light and delicious, and so fun to eat. The beef and mushroom soup is soooo good. Deep, rich and hearty, a lux soup. Everyone at the table, loved their meal. The waiter was fast, and knowledgeable. The chef, came to visit our table, was charming and you could took great pride in his, and his staff and their creations. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. We will be back. read more

By far one of the best restaurants I have even eaten. I had the salmon with roasted red potatoes, sweet potato, braised Brussel sprout. The salmon was glazed with spicy honey, i could eat that glaze every day. I had a hibiscus sparkling non alcoholic drink rimmed with sugar. It was fabulous. I can not speak highly of this restaurant. I can't wait to come back to Hot Springs and eat here again. read more

You know those places that you're so excited to go and looked forward to experiencing and it completely bombs?! Oh we experienced alright... As soon as we arrived all the red flags were going off. Eden is inside the Hotel Hale Bath House & Spa. Quite actually in a unique and historic spot and has the potential to be really great. However...service is absolutely awful. There were 3 tables in the entire place and were obnoxiously rushed to order. Waited 15 minutes for our cocktail drinks. Ambiance is loud rock music that is set on a radio station so every 3 songs you hear commercials. We got sat at 7:40 and we finally got our "dinner" at 8:35. The food just terrible and felt like something you could make in a hotel room with a toaster oven. (See the photos). Spent $115 plus (poor tip) for 2 adults and 2 kids ages 8 & 10 and we left hungry. Waiter couldn't or wouldn't, I should say, come check on us. Even though he only had only one other 2- top table. I constantly had to keep cleaning off our table. Had to keep asking people around us for side of dressing, napkins, water, a drink? Just overall major disappointment. Again so much potential but I wouldn't risk going here and dropping a ton of money for sub par food and terrible service. Cool plants on the walk or not. Instead: Head on over to the Colorado Grill or the SQZBox! Are at both places and enjoyed hot food and great service at both those places. Couldn't even finish our food is was so bad. Ultimately we paid our bill and couldn't wait to leave. read more
