So Restaurant Bar

Visited here last night by reservation and we actually got there about 40mins early and hoped to just sit at the bar and get a drink while waiting for our table but was sat down right away.
My special lady and I always prefer a booth and to sit right next to eachother as we enjoy sharing meals and doing our usual game at restaurants we play together while waiting for our food.
They sat us at a 2 person sit across table at first and then accommodated our wants for seating which was very nice.
That meant we took a 4 person table in the front of the restaurant across from the bar.
Not sure if that was acceptable being a place of reservations but it made us happy.
The communication at the restaurant must have been off because we asked about deserts first after realizing they are not on the menu and was told there was only one.
We ordered our drinks and they came out pretty fast then after we ordered our food.
We watched many tables that came in after us get plates and appetizers before ours was finally brought to us.
It was over a 40 minute wait.
The food was very good taste and appeal wise.
We both got the special which was a 8oz steak with asparagus, crab mashed potatoes I believe, shrimp and some sauce that reminded me of a warm steak sauce.
It was a play on a surf and turf.
The potatoes were a little cold but both steaks being mid-rare were cooked well.
Then shrimp and asparagus were a lil salty for my taste buds and hers as well.
The manager came out did apologize for our wait and to our surprise offered us a free dessert they had many more to offer all the sudden.
We had the tiramisu and it was honestly the best part of the night.
If you sit up front you can expect it to be loud and everyone greeting each other like it’s a normal place for some to go to.
The bar was packed before we left.
Also there is only one bathroom for everyone.
Expect to wait for your turn.
Definitely not the fine dining experience I was hoping for with the prices $173 and I honestly recommend anyone to give them a chance seeing as there’s room for growth but we will not be going back. Pretty pictures below to show the room for growth.

Living in Dallas, I’m exposed to a lot of really good restaurants.
But So Restaurant is at the top of my list.
The food was excellent, nice diverse menu.
The bar had excellent drinks, the wait staff were superb.
Why isn’t Little Rock all over this place ?? There should be a line outside the door every night at this restaurant.
It is quaint and beautiful inside.
It is a place that you should be able to dress up and go to.
A big shout out to this place! Oh did I say the food food food was sooo good, everything we had from our appetizer to dessert was superb.
This place will not disappoint.

Neither of us had ever been here but had heard it was under new management and decided to give it a try and we are so glad we did! We started out with some of the best calamari I’ve ever had.
Both my husband and I got the surf and turf special.
The steak was immaculate as well and the shrimp.
We enjoyed a delicious season cocktail and local beer as well.
Topping the night off was an absolutely delicious Cinnamon Toast Crunch crème brûlée.
Not only were the food and drinks unbelievable but the wait staff and atmosphere were top notch.
The family feel that the staff gives made us feel so welcome and at home in this cozy slice of heaven.
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!!
