We only go if we can sit outside on by far the best patio in town! The patio is lit up by hundreds of lights and there is typically live music on the weekends. It is such a neat spot!

Voted the best restaurant in Arkansas, and easily the best pizza in the state! Great atmosphere located in the Uptown close to Bathhouse Row! Well worth the 15 minute drive! When guests visit us, we ALWAYS take them here. Make sure you call ahead for reservations, or you likely won’t get in. It’s also only open Wednesday through Sunday.

This is our favorite place to go for a special occasion. The steaks are so, so, SO good (Heather loves the Cajun ribeye and Eric loves the Cowboy ribeye) but it is pretty pricey. You can eat outside on the patio with a great view of the lake. It’s also super close to the house- close enough to walk there, if you wanted. You can also dock your boat here while you eat.
