Petit Bistro

We loved this place! I was looking for something quaint, local and unique to the Bentonville Arkansas area we were in. I took my wife up there for a quick getaway to celebrate six months of marriage. The restaurant is in what used to be a house I believe. It small and rustic looking with a little wooded area around it. We caught a glimpse of a deer walking beside the place.The inside was was nice but a little too dark for my taste. I guess that was the idea to create a nice intimate setting but the dark walls seemed to suck up all the ambient light. Still it was nice on the inside.Service was excellent. The person who took care of us was friendly and knowledgeable.We both ordered the ribeye steak with sea scallops with squash and potatoes. Our meal was out of this world! The steak was cooked the way we wanted it and was flavorful and the scallops were tender. For dessert we order some pear thing that was amazing but I forget the name.If you are ever in Bentonville, check this place out! Be prepared to splurge but it is worth every penny!

I've wanted to try this place for so long and finally found the perfect cold, rainy night to stop by! This quaint bistro is super tucked away. If you're not paying attention, you'll drive right by the entrance. Parking was a little hard, but inside you'll find all the cozy vibes you're looking for! Multiple team members served our table and were super personable. Unfortunately with multiple servers, some of our menu items and requests were overlooked or were not communicated to the kitchen, HOWEVER the staff quickly rectified that. The grilled Brie and crab cakes were standout appetizers and the sea bass was our favorite entree. Portion sizes were perfect as well. The staff was patient and attentive as we were the last table to finish up our meal. Overall, our experience was a 8.8/10 and we cannot wait to return and try more menu items!

This was a cool little place. This semi restored house has charm and makes for a great date night. I went for their surf and turf. Good food. You can't go wrong. Excellent waitstaff.

10/17/22We couldn't decide where to go for dinner and I found this little gem on Open Table. Was able to make reservations easily.Jason was our bartender and server and he was amazing. Started off with a blueberry martini with grey goose (delicious) - and my work boss ordered a grey goose and sodaWe also ordered the pan seared tuna tower was smaller than we thought but delicious! Just wished there was more pieces. It had 3 pieces on a nicely decorated plate.Filet mignon was seasoned perfectly. We both ordered it and I cleaned my plate! Yummm! Jason gave us a side of green peppercorn sauce and it was delicious with the steak.We ordered for dessert the poached pear with truffles. The pear came out cold which was unexpected so this fell short to how we could have finished.We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Thanks Jason for everything!

Out of lamb ribs substituted lamb chops. Very under cooked little flavor for $39. Don't waste your money. Vegetables goo

The ambiance and atmosphere was charming. We had the privilege to be waited on by one of the owners. I started with the Godfather drink along with the crab cakes and would highly recommend them both. We then moved to our entrees and I picked the pork shanks which had a very rich flavored plum compote underneath and the pork literally fell of the bone.... Literally! The vegetables were cooked to perfection and had a light buttery flavor to them that paired well with the plate. My other half said that the chicken was cooked perfectly and was very moist. "The pesto pasta was both savory and balanced." Then to finish the night off we had The Worlds Best Tiramisu. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness with the cocoa powder. Amazing. We will be back!

Service was excellent. Wonderful ambiance. I tipped very well. At 5:00, the restaurant was empty. We had reservations. Filet was not worth 42 dollars; ordered medium, came to the table well done. It was very small, it appeared cut in half laterally from a full filet. The side of potatoes was akin to dehydrated boxed mashed potatoes. You can compare my photos with the photos of their filet dish. Very different.Probably won't return just due to the quality of the food.

Cute restaurant and service was great. Pear spinach salad was good but pears were pickled (not my fav) and not very ripe. Short ribs were really great, fell off the bone,' but didn't need to be drowned in BBQ sauce. Cous cous was perfectly cooked. Steak au poivre was unexpected. Ribeye with more of the same BBQ sauce? Creme brulee was perfect. Could have used more than 3 berries.

Pretty good, but really noisy and overpriced. If you have hearing loss, I would recommend going elsewhere. No quiet seat in the house.

Always terrific. Great local place, with great food and great staff. Favorite place in Bentonville.
