Each time we go to Japanese restaurant we have a ‘standard’ order of sashimi and rolls. At Kemuri our waiter Rachel spent time to explain the menu items, and we ordered several new to us appetizers. We were happy with our selection, quality of food, and wonderful presentation. We enjoyed every course, and definitely would recommend this restaurant.

Kilwins Little Rock

Reviewed By md115 - rockville

The ice cream at Kilwins is really good.

Both the Coconut and Chocolate Chip (?"Arkansas Swirl") were excellent.

I rated 4 stars instead of 5 stars because of the exorbitant ~$9 charge for 2 cups of ice cream and disinterested servers.

New York City prices and attitudes.

I'll return once I save some money.

Brave New Restaurant

We welcome you... Again! We're serious about quality dining, but in a relaxed atmosphere. We've won a lot of awards for best overall restaurant, best views, best servers, but we'll never rest on our laurels. The best compliment you can pay us is to come back, and bring your friends! You can count on us to use the freshest and highest quality ingredients - always. We may occasionally improvise, or even run out of an item, but we will never offer you less than the best. Freshness also offers some flexibility to accommodate special health needs (check out the number of gluten-free items!), And we will do so to the best of our abilities.

Reviewed By stilliwonder - Little Rock, Arkansas

Consistently at the top of the Little Rock dining scene. Tonight our group had avocado shrimp appetizers, the special, seared scallops and pecan encrusted trout— not a miss in the bunch. Extensive wine menu, great lunch spot as well. Chef Brave himself is always making the rounds. Yes it feels like a weird location when you are parking but once inside it all feels right. The main dining room or patio for ambience — overflow dining needs some decor or better lighting or something. Not up to other standards. If I had booked for romantic dinner I’d have been disappointed .

David's Burgers

Though the name David’s Burgers may be a fairly new name to you, it’s actually rooted in a deep family history of restauranteurs, tradition and craftsmanship. David Alan Bubbus created David’s Burgers as a tribute to his father, David Bubbus Sr., who had become a master butcher at the age of sixteen. Mr. Bubbus Sr. grew up in Central Arkansas and began his career in the meat industry at the age of five working for Johnny Jacobs Meat Market in North Little Rock. He managed his first restaurant, the JaMar in Pine Bluff, at the age of nineteen in 1963 and opened his own restaurant, El Matador, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in1967. For over half a century, Mr. Bubbus Sr. has been instrumental in developing numerous restaurants, restaurant chains and even franchises (such as Chicken Country) throughout Arkansas while bringing his knowledge, passion and insistence of quality to the plates of millions of patrons. David Bubbus Sr. is the Butcher Boy.David’s Burgers is founded on the knowledge and principles of David Bubbus Sr. along with the traditions and craftsmanship found in master butcher shops. The black and white pictures you see on the walls are our family pictures. They’re our way of welcoming you into our home and we hope they will take you back to a time when things were simple and straightforward, which is what we’re all about. We are the only hamburger restaurant with beef that is handcut from US Choice Chuck and ground for that days use. You can see our US Choice Chuck displayed proudly in a nostalgic butcher case at our entrance. We never include trimmings, fillers or other inferior beef by-products. The foundation of our traditional hamburger is simply incredible beef with the highest standard of quality control. Our fries are hand cut potatoes made fresh throughout the day. There’s an amazing amount of passion and detail that goes into our food. It’s our hope that you have an extraordinary experience with excellent service and we sincerely thank you for being our guest!

The atmosphere here is unique but there's nothing special about the burgers. The fries are actually pretty good though. It's pretty overpriced too. You can get a better burger pretty much anywhere that isn't mcdonalds, burger King, etc.

My family recently purchased American Pie Pizza for takeout. We ordered small salads with Ranch Dressing. The Ranch Dressing was good but the salads have only lettuce and cheese and the lettuce was not fresh tasting. We also ordered a Mozzarella Cheese Pizza and the Hog Wild Pizza. The most unique thing about these pizza's are the they are thin crust with a unique flavor. The toppings themselves were not impressive. The pizza was alright but nothing really great about it. We also ordered the chocolate chip pizza with peanut butter. Again, the dessert is o.k. but nothing really impressive about it.

Ristorante Capeo

Ristorante cápeo offers simple italian dishes made with the freshest ingredients prepared in an open kitchen. Chef eric isaac trained in various regions throughout Italy cultivating a passion for their food and wines. Our staff, menu & wine list endeavor to share a taste of this passion and presentation.

Reviewed By A TripAdvisor Member

The menu is diverse and well executed. Everything on it is wonderful, but the lasagna is especially good, and it is somewhat unique. The wine selection is quite good but not unreasonably priced; other local restaurants charge more for the same bottle. The place is usually sold out so make a reservation.

Reviewed By summersail - Amelia Island, Florida

We had a nice dinner here. Table side guacamole was good but no better than what we have had elsewhere. Chicken fajitas were very good. Portions were large. Food prices were reasonable. The premium margaritas we had were tasty but didn’t seem to have much alcohol, so pricey for the quality. Our server was fantastic. She made the experience wonderful. Wish I remembered her name. We had a great conversation with her.

Would definitely eat here again if we were in the area.
