    The cowboys ribeye was fantastic! We sat at the bar and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is old school and very cool! Great spot!

    Second time dining here, just as spectacular as the first. Valet parking is a big plus in this part of Little Rock! Service was quick and friendly. We lucked out as they had the lobster bisque. Steak was exceptionally tender and perfectly seared as requested. No room for anything sweet after such a huge cut. Definitely the best Steakhouse in Downtown area, possibly the city.

    And utterly amazing ribeye steak!!

    I don't understand how this place could have a four star average -- I just had a ribeye steak that was INSANELY great! And the au gratin potatoes were something to write home about! Anytime I'm in Little Rock, I'll be back to this place for sure! Highly, highly recommended!

    If you love steak, you must try Sonny Williams' Steak Room! I am a steak lover through and through and this restaurant had some of the best steak that I have had in years. The crust on my steak was amazing and perfectly seasoned. My husband's was the same and the service was great as well. There was even a live pianist playing fun Christmas songs! There was a small miscommunication when we walked in. We had called ten minutes prior as it was a Friday night at 7pm. We asked what the wait was and they said that there was no wait but when we arrived they said they were pretty fully booked with reservations for the evening. In the end we were able to be sat right away but it seemed a bit odd. The busser ran over right away to offer us water and was very kind and kept our glasses topped off all night. Our server was incredibly kind and checked in on us periodically as it was a busy Friday night. Finally, the food was simply amazing. Our appetizer was the Spinach Artichoke Dip with Crustini and this was great. As two people we ate the whole thing (and then regretted not being able to try dessert). The dish was seasoning incredibly well, it was clear the artichoke is seasoned beforehand which is a nice surprise as most dips have plain artichoke straight from the jar. My New York Strip was cooked perfectly and although I didn't get any optional sauces, the steak did not need it at all. The crust on the steak was so flavorful and they even garnish the plate edges with season salt (think classic lawry's season salt). The sautéed asparagus was perfectly cooked and I would definitely order it again. The potatoes au gratin were under seasoned but nothing some salt and pepper from the table couldn't fix. My husband got the filet mignon and was also crusted beautifully. He said that the béarnaise choice went perfect with the filet and he highly recommends. His mashed potatoes were plated beautifully (whipped and piped) and the first few bites were great but their method of plating caused the mashed potatoes to get hard within a couple minutes. For example, the potatoes quickly developed a crust which is a little unappealing. The brussels sprouts were also much softer and wetter than expected for a roasted Brussels sprouts so we would recommend going in another direction for your vegetable. We will definitely be coming back again and hopefully saving some room for dessert!

    10 oz filet

    I've eaten at Sonny's 7 or 8 times. Probably 3 of the visits, the food was amazing! The other times it was average at best. Our most recent visit, I ordered the 10 oz filet for $66. I told the server I liked it "somewhere between medium and medium well." He called it "medium plus." When it came out, the entire outside was very charred, but I cut into it to find the inside was significantly undercooked. I showed it to the server and asked his opinion, and he told me it was medium rare and that he'd take it back. When it returned several minutes later, there was hardly a trace of pink on the inside (definitely well done), and the outside was so charred it made a loud crunch with every bite. I didn't want to send it back again because my wife was already done eating by then, so I just bathed it in A1 and dealt with it. Our server and hostess were friendly. The live piano was a very nice touch. Overall, my experiences here have been hit-or-miss, which is disappointing when you're spending $66 and may get a really bad steak.

    Best ribeye steak I've had here. So tender and juicy. Definitely recommmed. Skip the mash potato's though. Not made from Scratch. Steak was bomb. My friend had the porter house and really enjoyed that too. Also had live piano player, that was really nice too. Loved the ambience.

    Made reservations over the phone. We walked in and were immediately seated. The (recorded) music was a poor choice and annoying. Only a song later an actual pianist started playing. He played well. The restaurant wasn't busy. Only a few other tables on a weeknight when we arrived I didn't have any expectations of this restaurant as I had never heard of it and l didn't pick it. The salad options lacked description in the menu. The server didn't make it sound any more appealing than the lack luster menu did. I would've liked a salad or starter but nothing sounded good. Same goes for the cocktails. I'm not sure if they're good quality or not but they didn't sound like it so I went with wine. Would've preferred to save wine for dinner. The steak was great. We loved the charred crust on both the steaks we ordered. The au gratin potatoes lacked flavor. The green beans were good and the broccoli okay (additional fee to substitute these in lieu of green beans). The desserts are home made. The brownie okay, but thin; the cheesecake was better. If the steak wouldn't have been as good as it was, this place would've got 3 stars.

    Monday of this week, I stopped in here with some out of town guests for a quick bite during the…read morenoon hour. I had the gumbo and it was excellent! Because of the great experience I had at lunch, I decided to take my wife there on Thursday night for dinner. Let me be clear: Dinner was a hit! I will start with the Atmosphere. I will be honest, the atmosphere is nice enough. The place is clean for sure. It is not as comfortable a place as some and is reminiscent of many restaurants I have been to. By that I mean, it is almost formulaic in it's set up. Nothing about it is unique or screams Arkansas or Little Rock to me. That is OK, I just want to be clear about the ambiance of the place. I still would give it a four out of five stars on ambiance. That said, it only gets better from here! For starters, we shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp appetizer, and it was superb! As good as any you will find in NOLA and definitely the best in Arkansas. I highly recommend. For our main courses, my wife had the bacon wrapped filet and I had the rib-eye. We had never tried Samantha's steaks before and I hate to think what all we have been missing because our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We shared a side of cheese grits and couldn't had a better meal! For our dessert, we shared a slice of their key lime pie, and again, it was wonderful. A strong five star rating for the food here at Samantha's for sure. As good as the food was, our server Taylor was about the best I have seen in Little Rock since the days of Ashley's at the Capitol hotel. Every dish we ordered that I just described was a recommendation from Taylor. I love it when someone knows their stuff and she was super knowledgeable, with just the right amount of tending to us. Not too much looking over our shoulder every two minutes, but always there when we needed her. Samantha's is lucky to have her on their team. Another strong five star rating regarding service. Can't wait to go back. I feel like they are hitting their stride at Samantha's!

I ordered a fried green tomatoes appetizer and Tom Yum grilled shrimp entree w/ a cucumber onion salad side. The app presentation was as expected garnished and dressed with roumalade. The finished quality was sub par. The tomatoes edges were good but the center was so thick it was crunchy, 4 slices $16. The entrées are solo yet there is an expectation of an elegant presentation. Nope...two undressed, ungarnished skewers of dry shrimp on a plate for $19. That's it, that's all. The best item of the meal was the marinated 2 ingredient "salad" which was... sweet & savory $12. Lastly, what ended up being a "concept" of key lime pie. Presentation glorious, a dinner sized plate decorated with swirls and a decent size helping of a sweet item. This was what looked like an inch of cake crumbs that were recycled by pressing into a form with a 1/4 inch thin layer of key lime custard over top. $9

The restaurant is located on the edge of the River Market District. The entrance is actually below street level. Take the stairs down to the front patio/courtyard area to get to the main entrance. Despite being downtown, the restaurant has a neighborhood feel to it. My server Camila was excellent! She was great about making recommendations and answering my questions. I ordered the Flank Steak (medium) with mixed vegetables (squash, zucchini, red pepper, onions) and mashed potatoes. It came with chimichurri sauce which was so good. The steak was very tender and flavorful. The veggies were seasoned well and were prepared al dente which I prefer. It was so much food and I couldn't finish it all. I didn't have anything to drink besides water, but the drink menu featured specialty cocktails like the Caipirinha and the Caipiroska. They also offered other cocktails, wine, beer, and NA beverages. I don't know much about the Little Rock culinary scene, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to find this Argentinian restaurant. What a great discovery!

The salad was very fresh with nice greens and tomatoes, and to my delight, no iceberg lettuce. All the meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked the right way. We ate as much as we could, but couldn't finish it. It was a great meal, and we each had a margarita with it. They were really good also. Mine was a blackberry with jalapeño. Our server was very sweet and took excellent care of us. Decor was pretty simple, but it's a casual place, so not a big deal, I care most about what I'm eating anyway. We finished with a quatro leches cake, which is like tres leches but drizzled with dulce de leche. It was outstanding. If you like meat, they don't mess around here.

We loved that they reserved us a semi-private table…read morefor our group, and they even had two servers taking care of us throughout the night, which made the experience feel more accommodating for a larger party. Even with having two servers, I still feel like the service could have been a little quicker at times. It's not a huge complaint by any means, and it definitely would not stop me from going back because they seemed very busy that night. All of the appetizers were phenomenal. The calamari had a nice little kick to it, the caviar deviled eggs were just okay in my opinion, but the cheesesteak eggrolls absolutely stole the show and were probably my favorite thing we ordered. For dinner, I got the filet mignon. It was good, but as far as steaks go, it probably wouldn't make my personal top 10. The lobster mac & cheese, however, was really creamy and flavorful, and I enjoyed that a lot. I also ordered a cocktail that my waiter recommended, and while it tasted really good, it wasn't very strong. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience, especially for a large group dinner, and I would definitely consider coming back.

Our waiter recommended the Father's Day special, which included a Dry-Aged Tomahawk Ribeye, two lobster tails, and two sides: the lobster three-cheese mac and cheese and the lobster garlic mashed potatoes. When the food was first brought to the table, everything appeared acceptable. However, upon closer inspection and after tasting the dishes, it became clear that there were significant quality issues. The lobster three-cheese mac and cheese was extremely dry and appeared overcooked. The lobster garlic mashed potatoes looked and tasted as though they had been sitting for an extended period of time and were noticeably burnt. The Dry-Aged Tomahawk Ribeye was severely overcooked on the outside and excessively salty. Even the butter served with the bread had what seemed to be an unnecessary amount of salt and pepper sprinkled on top, making it unpleasantly salty. The lobster tails were also disappointing. The shells were dry and appeared as though they had been under a heat lamp for too long. While the lobster meat itself was edible, it was the only part of the meal we were able to eat, along with some bread. We chose not to bring these issues to the attention of the restaurant while dining because we prefer to avoid drawing attention to ourselves. That said, we believe these problems should have been identified before the food ever left the kitchen. The restaurant's quality control and expediting process should have caught these issues. What made the experience even more frustrating was seeing other meals being served to nearby tables that looked well-prepared and appetizing. We left our waiter a good tip because we do not believe he was responsible for the condition of the food. He was pleasant and simply recommended the special that the restaurant was promoting. Needless to say, what was intended to be a special Father's Day celebration turned into a very disappointing dining experience. We will not be returning anytime soon. Photos of the meal are available if needed.

Well, I am happy to report that it IS true, that Petit & Keet is an outstanding restaurant. We made it in, in time for their terrific happy hour at the bar. Packed at 5:00 PM on a Tuesday (who woulda thunk that?) we were able to squeeze in and jump in on their goodies. The HH Menu was so appealing we would up just tasting several things; for starters, their signature frozen drink, the Peechy Keet, was absolutely phenomenal (it might also be because it was over 100 degrees outside). Not too sweet, nicely fruity and packing a punch. The Crudites was atypical with a larger assortment of veggies (including some tasty Sheshido peppers) and a really, unique and delish hummus. Next up; the Tuna Tostada. This could actually be my favorite item on the menu; sashimi grade tuna on a larger Tostada, perfectly marinated. Yummy. We topped things off with the Empanadas' that were also delectable; plenty of filling, not overly fried so as to be firm but chewable. I can't believe we wound up being stuffed, and sadly, it prevented us from diving into what looked like some wonderful entrees. Next time! A special note to the management; your bartender (sorry, her name escapes me, but she's in the pic with my wife and me) was as phenomenal as the food & drink (and the decor; sorry I hadn't mentioned that before, but it is a lovely space). She was everything (and more) for what someone behind the bar should be, an expert concotionist, professional, fun (and funny) and on top of everything at a packed bar/restaurant. Can you say "deserves a raise" with me? Also, loved the story of the place on the menu. It feels great to see a local place like Petit and Keet deliver top notch food, service and environment.
