The Capital Bar & Grill may be the embodiment of Capital’s Southern Comfortable culinary vision focusing on provincial comfort food with a particular emphasis on the bounty of Arkansas. The tools of the bar include the most sought-after liquors, mixers and ingredients. In sort of a back-to-the-future twist, it has been a devotion to handmade classic and custom cocktails (the Aviation vs. the Cropduster) that has established Capital Bar as a nationally-regarded spirits destination. All this said, we strive to create a fun, relaxing experience for all of our guests: The friendly atmosphere is especially suited to business lunches, after-work drinks and get-togethers, as well as special date nights.

I've had many delicious meals and drinks here but after this experience, I will sadly not be back. The food is always enjoyable, the location superb, has a great vibe, and the value is comparable to other restaurants in the area. This round, the food was fine with the exception of soggy crackers for the pimento cheese dip, but not as wonderful as it has consistently been. However, the service was probably the worst I have experienced in years. I was embarrassed to have suggested it to my colleague (who said it would be her first and last visit). No greeting by a server for 12 minutes, no specials shared, could not answer menu questions, went back to kitchen to ask something and forgot to come back, entrees came out without appetizer, appetizer was brought out when we were almost finished with entree with no plates or utensils to serve it with, no check-ins, and general unprofessional and apathetic demeanor of the server. While I understand we have to have grace because everyone is doing their best to just show up, this was so far below the standard that I experience at any restaurant in Little Rock, it will prevent me from coming back.

This restaurant is inside of a hotel! It is beautiful unfortunately the night I went it was super busy and loud but the service was amazing. I was seated right away(with reservation) and due to it being my anniversary they even offered to move us to a bigger side of the restaurant, was very sweet of them! The food was amazing and they had strong drinks!

I am sure due to the pandemic the menu is very limited. I was expecting a little bit more quiet atmosphere, but not so much. There should also be a valet sign out front, as we werent sure if valet was available and had to park on the parking deck around the corner.

Went before prelim night 1 of the Miss Arkansas competition. Food and drinks were amazing as always, but noise level was a bit much and service was slower than normal. Both of those things are to be expected with a packed house, though. Didn’t bother my table one bit and still had an outstanding experience!

I had written graduation on my reservation but it wasn’t acknowledged. I mentioned it to the waiter before we left and it still wasn’t acknowledged. I guess I was wrong to think they would bring my daughter a dessert or anything. 🤷‍♀️

I appreciate their attempt at new takes on some classics. But some items (like the roast beef poor boy) should at a the same. But overall, so happy the capital Grill is open again.

I feel the price is part of the experience so it’s reflected in the rating. CBG is back and it was great to be back. Until I noticed the changes that is. Some drinks aren’t offered like Mexican Jack and coke. Hamburger has price increase but it’s not even the same burger. Maybe I went on an off day, not sure. It looks the same but it’s not the same. I’ll be back for sure to give it a other go.

First of all, I’m so happy CBG is RE-opened! There is a new, Impressive cocktail menu, and the tried and true appetizer favorites did not disappoint. I would like to see more entree options with smaller portions and healthier fare. The service was excellent. The noise level was extremely high. I remember this place having a nice quiet ambiance conducive to a relaxing happy hour or dinner with comfortable conversation with my dining partners. Last night’s noise level was high enough that conversation was difficult.
