We didn’t have a reservation so sat at the bar. The bartender was excellent and I had the best drink of the night. The appetizer was great! Wish I had started here for dinner. Next time in bentonville will definitely here.

I’ve been here before and typically like it despite the prices. I went with my wife early just before opening at 5pm. The door was unlocked, we walked in at 4:57 (yes, three minutes early) and was rudely greeted by someone who informed us that “they open at 5pm and needed time to ‘get the kitchen ready’” are you serious? We took our business across the street to the Preachers Son and had (yet another) wonderful experience.

We visited Bar Cleeta on 1/27 and had a wonderful experience. We started with Old Fashions and they were balanced and delightful. However, the real standout was the food. Each dish we had was approachable yet with a refined flair.The Wild Baby Arugula salad was a fresh and peppery delight, providing a crisp contrast between the lemon vinaigrette and the arugula. The Ricotta Cavatelli was both comforting and sophisticated with the pasta being cooked perfectly. The Six Day Wagyu brisket was rich yet not overly so. Quite tender and flavorful.Today I'm already making our next reservation for this hidden gem in Northwest Arkansas. Next time I'll grab some pictures to post here :).

One of the best restaurants in Northwest Arkansas. Modern/contemporary food. Menu is higher priced, but atmosphere is laid back.

Went for drinks and apps. I read the reviews before going to get an idea of what I wanted. Unfortunately, the responses from the restaurant are a bit brutal, but I didn't want to cancel on my friends. Thankfully one of my table had been here before and recommended items. The service was very good and everything we ordered was just as expected. We got both tartes, bone marrow, and oysters. The tarte with the bacon is best! We didn't have a reservation but had arrived as soon as they opened and the host was able to get us in if we left by a certain time - totally fair.

It's a restaurant that can rival some I've been to in major cities. So glad to have an option like this downtown Bentonville.

We were a little overwhelmed at what to order, but our server Katie suggested some great food and wine choices and it was perfect. We will be back soon!

Atmosphere was intimate and the courses were amazing. I moved from Dallas and thought I’d never find better oysters and bone marrow. Well this place delivered. Best bone marrow I’ve had across the country and the service was very attentive. Will definitely be back for more oysters and marrow. Very well
