This place is great, there was an issue with our order but they went above and beyond to make things right. Ryan was our server and he was great! I got the walleye and my boyfriend got the steak. They were both delicious. The goat cheese mousse was also very good. They make the best salads. Highly recommend!

In my opinion, one of the best restaurants in Little Rock, been there quite a few times: great ingredients, food is well prepared with talent and pride, all dishes simply taste great. Thank you for what you guys do..!

The meal I had from here today was SO good I had to thank God both before AND after eating it… two house made crab cakes served with a creole remoulade sauce, parmesan fries, and crusty bread with butter….everything was beyond delicious. Despite the terrible economy we are currently living in, I am living large today!! I will absolutely be back soon.

My wife and I ate lunch at the Brave New Restaurant for the first time today. Outstanding is the first word that comes to mind! Everything there is first class. The food, atmosphere and service are all top-notch. I will have to say, though if you have not been there before it may be a bit challenging to find the entrance to the restaurant. Google maps will take you into the parking lot. There is a sign that indicates Brave New Restaurant out at the street, however, the door that you enter goes into an office building and the restaurant name is not marked on that door. Once you get inside, get on the elevator and ride from the ground level to the first where good signage is available. We arrived there very shortly after the restaurant opened at 11 and were able to get a good parking place near the door. I understand that parking can be an issue for the lunch crowd due to the people who work in the building. Also it can be a bit of a trek to get to much of the parking that is available during the workday.

Great time sitting by the Arkansas River enjoying a great meal with wife and friends on my birthday. Ribeye was flavorful, cooked to perfection. Asparagus was deliciously prepared, no stringy texture. The bacon jalapeño mashed potatoes were the Bomb! Great place, I will be back.

Amazing hideaway nestled perfectly right on the river! Window or outdoor dining makes for a stunning sunset view at dusk, wait staff are all mature age adults no teenagers or even young 20s staff dealing with guests. Food is cooked served and played to perfection. Wine selection is wonderful, in-house roasted coffee which phenomenal, also made in house ice cream to end the perfect evening with a sweet treat. The menu rotates every 2 weeks but the staples remain the same, GIANT fluffy, buttery scallops are a must try as they have them flew in weekly. Steaks are beautifully cooked and served again with a rotating schedule of a new sauce every 2 weeks or so. Pete is our server and will always be, even if I had to wait for his section to come open. Prices reflect quality , don’t go on a budget. Expect to honestly spend $75-$100 per person to get the full experience. You could eat for $40-$50 a plate but would truly miss out on some of the best things they offer. I would add a note that the manager, short dark complected woman, though she doesn’t deal directly with guest, I approached and asked to speak to the manager (her) simply to compliment Pete and the amazing experience we had both times being there and having him, and she was not very enthusiastic or enjoyable. She could be amazing, idk it was a short interaction, however she, imo was the worst part of the evening. I do expect when I drop $250-$300 on a dinner to be treated with great kindness and care, we are in central Arkansas, not La, NYC or Paris. Know your customers, southerners care as much about hospitality as though do quality.

Wow. Cannot even begin to describe how amazing this restaurant is! We sat on the deck and enjoyed the river view as the sun set. There are ample heaters but we didn't need them. The wine list was fabulous - lots of options for glasses. The sourdough bread was great along with a slab of yummy salted butter. The side salad was also quite memorable with roasted veggies and fresh tomato brushes mix on the side. These small extras really made a huge difference! We had the scallops and duck entrees. Perfectly cooked and presented. We shared the chocolate creme brulee - again, another highlight not to be missed!

One of mine and my fiancé’s favorite restaurants! It’s our go to for special occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries. I always order the chicken risotto, and it never disappoints. Seasonal cocktails are a nice addition to the menu, and appreciate they source local ingredients! Our last visit, our server Pete was incredible. We always receive great service, and the owner is so friendly if you run into him! Also, the view from the patio is beautiful
