Went to Splash Wine Bar for dinner last night. Had the crab cakes, Raw oysters and tried 4 of their…read moretrinity topped oysters. Then had their chicken tenders and steak fries. The Trinity topped oyster were fantastic! Highly recommend if you like oysters. But if not definitely get the crab cakes! The chicken tenders and steak fries were good! But we had already had our taste buds in awe, so well they missed the higher expectations. But again NOTHING was wrong with them. Service was ok... but SLOW. Friendly... but SLOW!! They had a lady singing and playing the piano, she was entertaining however we were happy to not be in the main bar area, it got a little bit too loud and we had a little trouble visiting without being too loud. Definitely going back. Maybe when they get the gates of HELL CLOSED from this heat and sit out on the patio!!

Second Review... We…read morecame here before November 2024 and when we decided to come back to Hotsprings this summer 501 was on the top of our MUST HAVE list of places to eat. We had big expectations and we were not let down. Atmosphere - 5/5 still Drinks - 5/5 old fashioned was perfect again Food - as a creature of habit I ordered the Boursin Filet on the bed of polenta, the NUESKE'S SLAB BACON for an appetizer, and the deviled eggs with caviar! 5/5 Service - impeccable! 5/5

"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.

I had an AMAZING experience at J&S Italian Villa! The chef is truly outstanding, and every dish was…read moreabsolutely incredible. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. 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!

When we walked in I was surprised how nice it looked. I actually felt underdressed in shorts. I…read morelater noticed other men in shorts. Our server was a very nice lady. The whole thing was a big disappointment. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were obviously leftover. They were hard and dry. After tasting a meatball, I didnt eat them. The meat sauce was ok, but flooded the dish and smothered the pasta. My wife's pasta dish was just OK. Actually, the server pointed out a guy in the kitchen and said he was a Michelin rated chef...sorry, but no way. Doing a search, I read that there are no Michelin rated chefs in Hot Springs. I ordered an expensive glass of red wine and it was served in a small white wine glass. Anyway, I'm not going to waste my time bashing J&S. I think I've made myself clear. It was a total disappointment and a waste of $120.00. Obviously, we wont be going back.

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!

Staff seats you and takes your order. There was a bit of a wait, but it was Arkansas Derby Day, so expected. I had two pancakes with a side of bacon.

When we were ready to head to the track there was a shuttle that took us to the main entrance. I'm a fan! 31
