Bar Cleeta

They call this place a bar but wow, what a gem for a regular meal. The place itself was a bit on the darker side like a bar but otherwise had a lovely feel. Phenomenal dishes with great flavor and creativity.I judge a restaurant by its octopus and this may have been the most tender octopus I've ever had. Alongside some delicious brisket and the pozole verde campanelle. You could tell a lot of thought and time was put into making these dishes. You cannot go wrong with a dish here - would definitely come back.

We came here for an early dinner. Our table was immediately ready, and the menus were brought. The dishes are tapas style which I love because you get to try more. We ordered some salads, flat breads, pastas, meats and vegetables all to be shared family style and there was not one thing we all did not absolutely loved.For most of my group it wasn't their first time there, but it was for me, and I was SO happy they brought me here. Not only was every dish excellent, as mentioned above, but the service was incredible too. Owned by a couple, they not only plan seasonal menus, but they also work the restaurant bringing out plates, and are great at recommending wines/ drinks for the meal.The restaurant inside is also a point to mention. Clean, cozy and neatly accessorized with hanging plants and rustic touches.Desserts were equally delicious, but I must recommend the Semifreddo. Why am I not recommending for the other plates, you ask, because honestly ALL were amazing and ALL worth trying.If I could give them 10 stars I would. Bar Cleta is a MUST!

Look no further for a great bistro dining experience in Bentonville. Incredible staff. Inventive menu. Exceptional wine list (which is hard to come by in Bentonville). And warm and lively setting. Bar Cleeta is our go to.

Not terrible but severely overpriced. This place is not what it thinks it is. The hype is not merited.

OMG, ALWAYS on our list of favorites in the area. The cocktails/wine are great. Food....chicken croquettes & arugula salad are a must! If the quail is on the menu....GET IT! The staff here is amazing, can't wait to try Big Lieu! Ben is a treasure!!!

By far the best food in Bentonville. There is no comparison. Every dish extremely unique and full of "new to B'ville flavor". Service was outstanding, speedy and courteous staff. Our new favorite place of all time. We'll be back again and again!

We loved it. The food was very imaginable and creative. Specializes in small plates that the table can share. I highly recommend The brisket, tomatoes and jalapeños, the fingerling potatoes, and The arugula salad. Our server was wonderful and described everything very well. We got there early and it was Nice but is the evening progressed and it became crowded it was a little loud. We still enjoyed the ambience.

Favorite place on the square for dinner. Most underrated restaurant. Casual fine dinning and terrific wine menu with great service. Interesting seasonal menu.

Food was fine but portions were comical. This place is not really worth it when there's half a dozen better restaurants within walking distance

Every experience I've had here has been immaculate. The food is delicious, service is attentive and helpful, and drinks are wonderful. While pricey, every cent spent here is worth it. Best place to dine in Northwest Arkansas.
