A&C is one of the best restaurants in Arkansas. I had the filet and it was wonderful. The goat cheese mousse is a flavorful meal by itself. And the service was impeccable. We’ll be back many times.

Made a reservation in the dining room and asked for a booth that was empty. I was told I had to request it on Open Table. I did not see an option to do that. My request was denied and we were moved to the back of wall of an empty side room. I have been there before with my friends that were with me and the host embarrassed me in front of my guests. BTW the table I asked for sat empty the whole time we were there. Because of our remote location service was slow.

All of the choices are superb. Be prepared to wait a bit after you order due to everything being prepared from scratch but it’s worth the wait. Definitely get an appetizer to help pass the time. We got a fried gnocchi special that needs to be made part of the regular menu asap. Will definitely be back for a return trip.

About the restaurant
Executive chef and partner, Steve Binotti, is a culinary graduate form Kendall College. Steve began his career in Chicago at David Burkes Primehouse and later worked with Virgin Hotels. He was voted 2021 Executive Chef of the year in Arkansas, after crafting menu items for Petite and Keet, as well as Cypress Social in Central Arkansas.
Come be inspired by our smokey flavors of your favorite bourbons and hone into the inspiration that curated our menu, filled with interesting ingredients, unique flavor pairings, and new twists on some southern classics.
