“First we arrived at Fisherman’s Wharf, got in quite fast. Very friendly staff we sat and ate dinner with lalo around 6:30. Didn’t get serviced until 6:45, when he came to the table is was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Overall he did a great job and we got our food quickly, but every time he would approach the table he would have an attitude. The catfish was great, and my husband enjoyed the grouper oscar. 4.3/5* overall”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great brunch at Café Kahlo! I had the chorizo egg benedict and he went for the tres de leche pancakes—both were absolutely delicious. The mimosas bucket is as aesthetic as it is tasty, and the Bloody Maria is straight fire! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a brunch spot that checks all the boxes.”

“We are from out of town and stumbled across this place on our first morning here. I’m so glad we did! The absolute best coffee I’ve ever had. My husband and I went each morning of our trip and got different flavors each time - they were all absolute perfection!”

“Purdy handles the downstairs bar like a champ and is a gem of a human. Pizza was very good. Cool spot tucked in the mountainside.”

“The best hibachi place in town!!!!! 5 star service and food”

“I can't believe there are only 14 reviews. Bubba's is the bomb for catfish. I live in MO but when in Hot Springs for a week, we are eating there AT LEAST twice. Its been a few years but next month we are there. Can't wait. And def get the tarter sauce. Its the best!”

“Love the vibe! Such cool decor.. and live music 🎶 was awesome.”

“First, my lemon drop was great.
We ordered the charcuterie for 2. We were very disappointed. The meat was 2 slices of deli turkey, 2 slices of deli ham, both turkey and ham were cut into 4 pieces rolled to make it look like it was more meat than it was. Some wieners that you would use in pigs in a blanket. Grapes, strawberry slices and pineapple slices. A few crackers and at least one cracker was stale. Small sweet pickles and sliced cucumbers. Dijon mustard, honey mustard and ranch dressing. No cheese. When I asked for the cheese, our server brought us cubed cheese that you buy in a bag. Nothing was special about this board. I’ve never had a charcuterie board like this before and I hope I never do again.”

“Great little coffee house. Coffee is perfect, service was amazing! the batista was the cutest, and so helpful. So happy we found this place!”

“Newly renovated , beautiful . The service was beyond reproach . Friendly , professional , engaging . We had the watermelon salad, Lasagne and the rice balls . Delicious nothing was left behind. Looking forward to our next meal there.”

“Best breakfast ever! Definitely will return.”

“Highly recommend taking the Origami Sake tour. The knowledge and passion in what they do is incredible. Forget your past restaurant experiences of tasting mass made bitter sake. There is much more to making quality craft sake than you would think. Great addition to Hot Spring! They are the real deal!”

“Fantastic dining experience! Dom and JoLee always give top notch service and are super helpful. Quality food + amazing service= you just can’t beat it!”
