ROBER :: Cocktails + Culinary

The whole team went above and beyond to make our visit special. Uriel helped work with our schedule even with a packed evening. Griffin was the perfect server and it was great to see Heather as always! The food was perfection! We’ll be back!

I've been to a lot of places and lived in California for almost 10 years. This meal was better than I've had anywhere, as was the service. The cocktails were perfect and with such a large menu there was something for everyone. For the quality, I felt this was extremely reasonably priced. Amazing. Can't wait to come back.

The best meal I’ve ever had.

Everything! The atmosphere, wait staff, chef Heather, were all incredible and went above and beyond. We are traveling from west Texas and would come back JUST for this. That’s how amazing everything was!! Wish we had chef closer to west Texas!!!

Everything about this place is amazing!!! Heather has truly thought of everything needed to create a memorable experience. Don’t walk, RUN here as fast as you can. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

okay let me start by saying I made my reservation before Halloween for tonight on valentines day. I have so many friends and clients that have told me eating at Rober is a absolute must do. And let me say I can now see exactly why!!!!! I have had my hopes stacked super duper high for months waiting in anticipation for this night to come. I have been sick (not contagious) and even went to get a steroid shot etc today just to make sure nothing ruined this experience. so to say Rober had alot and I do mean alot to live up to in what I created in my mind is the truth. from the moment I stepped inside I was caught off guard an in my mind was going ewwwww I am going to love this place where have I gone down this rabbit hole just as Alice in wonderland. the staff was so attentive and warm. the food omg the food 😋 it was phenomenal and I do mean phenomenal. hands down the best food from appetizers, meals and deserts I've ever and I mean ever had! the steaks were so tender and bursting with flavor in every single bite. the espresso martinis which I had never had till tonight were outstanding and I am now hooked on them. the atmosphere was 50 shades of grey meets sexy sleek an sophisticated vibes. it was literally a entire vibe in there that I am so here for ! the owner you can tell put so much thought an time into everything little detail including our handwritten personalized greetings on the menus an a handcrafted chocolate to take home. to say that Heather the owner has nailed and I do mean grand slam knocked it out of the park with this restaurant is a understatement. I will now be going to Rober an her other restaurants every single chance I get!

First time going to Rober…. It was fine.

The ambience and service here are excellent. Our server was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I never felt as though we were being left to our own devices.

From the waiting lounge with bottle service to bar itself, you won’t find a much better atmosphere in central Arkansas. It’s clear that the moment you walk in, you are expected to have a far above average experience.

The only small letdown was the food…but not that it was bad!

My expectations simply weren’t met based upon the initial presentation. I came away feeling like the food was fine; just fine.

So, all in all, I would recommend with just a tiny hint of hesitation.

Dakota did a great job. Reservations were made and we were seated promptly. Great drink selection and non menu food specials were discussed. Drinks were unique and solid. The goat cheese and mushroom bruschetta is 10/10. I had the scallops and tortellini. It was ok. Scallops were a bit rubbery and sauce was rather gritty. My wife had the redfish and she says it was great. The bourbon bacon brussel sprouts were out of control good. We had the brulee cheesecake to celebrate her birthday. I would give the overall experience in totality a 7.8. Will go again.

Atmosphere is great, the ambiance of the place makes it perfect for a romantic or casual meal. The service is good, but a little slow at times. The waitstaff understand both the food menu and (extensive) cocktail menu and provide excellent recommendations.
The cocktails are very well prepared and have a good kick to them.
Food is reasonably priced but we found the food to be a little too salty, we will definitely try again though.

It’s so weird stepping into this place - it’s just like a high end big city restaurant, but in Benton, AR, population 30k.

Food was great, service was great. Sea bass and shrimp/grits dishes were both super tasty. The bacon flight is more like a pork belly flight though, they’re thick pieces and fat is more on the rubbery vs melty side.

This would be an excellent place to eat anywhere, considering the location it’s exceptional.
