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.

We were looking forward to eating here for weeks, based on the reviews. How utterly disappointing. I honestly think this was the worst I've ever experienced when it comes to what a meal was like compared to how high my hopes were. Really bad waitress. The food arrived cold. Sent it back. When it came again it was all overcooked. Wife had a fried chicken breast entree. I had the 'special' which was grilled grouper. I put a fork in my fish and held it up in one piece. A Chick Fil-A sandwich for the wife and a McDonalds fish sandwich for me would have FAR surpassed our dinner at this fancy hotel.

Our server Molly did an excellent job. She answered questions and gave some suggestions that were very helpful. Food was great as always. We had the Corn ribs, burger, shrimp pasta special & the short rib lasagna. The Capital Bar is always a treat without out being stuffy. Highly recommend.

Food was good. It was Thanksgiving and we were in the evening, so they ran out of a lot of stuff. Service was terribly slow, but, such are these times in the food business. They were as good as anyone could have been on that day with that level of staff. We will be back, just because we are proud that the owner has made such an investment so that we might have such a place. The menu was top shelf, and the items that were in stock were very good. Our server was very kind, but she had a lot on her plate. Any other day of the week it would have probably been 5 stars all the way. We will return soon.

Very nice setting. Server was cordial. Room temp was very cool, some people were wearing outdoor coats to stay warm. Meal was as ordered. Banana pudding was great.
