We were visiting from Southern California and decided to try 501 Prime. We enjoyed it so much that…read morewe had dinner 2 of the 3 nights we were in town. Must have: the Boursin filet. 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?

Stopped by here after studying at the library on a whim. I had no idea this place existed, but saw…read moreit while we were walking back to the car and just had to make a stop. This is a cute, small, intimate little place with some tables, a set of comfy chairs, and a bar. There might have been some kind of group room in the back, I just saw people coming out of it, but we sat at the bar and enjoyed the ambiance. The bartender there was very personable, chatting with all the customers and open to making recommendations. I enjoyed a lovely port that was reasonably priced, and my study-mate got a canned beer from the fridge section (happy hour pricing was great). This was a very cute place with a good variety of wine options, plus items for the non-wine drinkers (albeit not a ton). This was a fun place and I would definitely stop in here again. Glad we found it!

We were with a large group, and they really stepped up in service. All of our planning was handled ahead of time, and the staff was attentive throughout the entire experience. The service was welcoming, professional, and top notch from start to finish. This is easily one of the best dining experiences in Hot Springs. Highly recommend!

"By the Glass" may be a wine bar but for me, after a single visit, it will be forever known as "the…read moreplace with the olives". To accompany our happy hour wines my son and I ordered two of his favorite things: Mixed Mediterranean Olives ($5.50) and a Spanish cheese ($9). Perhaps I've spent too long in the Bay Area or perhaps they do things differently in Arkansas but the mountainous bowl of olives that arrived at our table sparked utter joy. This wasn't 5, 10, or even 15 olives; I think it might've been a whole jar's worth. It was not only amusing, but an utter delight. One hundred percent chance of a return visit for the olives alone. We followed with the Spanish cheese and more wine but there was no getting beyond the olives. That's what we'd be talking about. Forever. By the Glass has a good happy hour ($5/glass for selected wine) which pertains only to the wines. It's a low-key, comfortable, unpretentious spot that's received recognition as the best bar, the best wine bar, the best trendy bar, and the best happy hour bar from a variety of publications. During my visit it was quiet and welcoming, an environment I'd feel equally comfortable in either solo or with friends. If you like wine, "By the Glass" is a good find. If you like olives it's even better.

You can wear shorts and T-shirt or jeans or dress up. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Great wine selection! Great music playing overhead! The food was amazing. Between the 4 of us the there was a t-bone, New York strip , filet mignon, and chicken cordon bleu. All of us were happy with our entrees. They were all cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.
