Our experience here is worthy of a reddit post, but, alas, this is Google, so I'll keep it PG... our last night in Bentonville before heading home from a 3 month long work trip.... made reservations at BC and it did not disappoint. Our server was an absolute maniac... it was fun until it wasn't fun anymore... but without saying a word, management stepped in and removed the server without drama or chaos.... The food... well, it rivals many Michelin star restaurants we've been to in Chicago, NYC, and abroad. It rivals James Beard winners we've frequented. The wine and cocktail list is unmatched- excellent options, tons of wines by the glass that seem to change daily, THREE LAMBRUSCO OPTIONS (need I say more?!?!)... but the food, above all else, was absolutely divine. Not a dish we regretted ordering. Roasted oysters in a chorizo broth, chicken croquettes, roasted carrots in a beef sabayon (so good), campanella with wild boar and nguja ragu, crispy pork belly and wagyu brisket. I still don't know which was my favorite, because they were all so divine. Bentonville is a hell of a town. The food rivals some of the best food cities in the US. No kidding. I would move here in a heartbeat.... but Bar Cleeta tops them all. 10/10. I'd drive 1,200 miles just to eat here again.

In one word, EXCELLENT! The food is always great. The menu changes with each season and it’s always fun to see what treats chef has in store for us. The service is top notch! We live 2 hours away and make the trip to Bar Cleeta several times a year. It really is just that good!!

It’s hard to put into words just how much Bar Cleeta absolutely shattered our expectations.
We decided to go here Saturday while visiting from KC for our wedding anniversary. KC. We have been to many fine dining restaurants, and Bar Cleeta is one of the very best we have been to.
Wine selection was excellent. Cheese and snack menu for apps is a creative addition to an already spectacular menu. Tasting sized plates were perfect for us, as we prefer to try a handful of things rather than split two.
The summer squash had a great whipped hollandaise, but the star was the zucchini puree. The pork belly was exceptional, and the cavatelli was perfectly balanced. Mousse for dessert was paired perfectly with an orange puree. These purées and balancing of flavors really set this restaurant apart for me.
The service was exceptional, as the host and server both knew it was our anniversary, and made us feel special.
A lot of restaurants think they know “whats up”, but very few actually do… Bar Cleeta’s owner and staff know whats up! Open a KC location asap please!

Roasted oysters, Wagyu brisket, and bone marrow and chive toast are to die for. The other best part of eating here is the knowledgeable and coolest staff ever. They’ll tell you about the dishes and locally sourced ingredients and welcome you back with a warm smile time after time. 🫶 Pictured- (seasonal) market beans, beef tartare, chicken croquettes, (seasonal) honey gem lettuce, key lime desert with white chocolate shell, and chocolate mousse. Yum!
My favorite restaurant in Bentonville. This place is so special. The team truly understands hospitality and all the dishes are unique without being over-engineered. The vibe is always right for a date or drinks with friends. They never miss. 💗

The heirloom tomato starter was in the top 10 dishes I’ve ever had! Great wine list too!

The whole experience is top notch. The entire staff was cordial and attentive. My favorites bites were the roasted oyster and honey gem lettuce salad. Both were phenomenal. Everything else was just as good.
