Le Stick Nouveau — Restaurant in Eureka Springs

This place is really special, it was recommended to me by the hotel desk clerk who mentioned that it was pretty exclusive. I called a few hours before the start of seating, just to see if they might be able to fit me in and Donna, the chef owner, was so nice and welcoming! I was eating by myself, and she sat me at the perfect placement in the restaurant. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn’t totally full, but honestly that just added to the overall atmosphere. It is a seated six course tasting menu so it does progress over two hours. It is a good pace, but for those thinking they can get in and out quickly, this is not the experience for you. I love that so many of the dishes were so thoughtful and locally sourced ingredients - everything on the plate made sense and wasnt ‘tweezer-fied’ just for aesthetics sake. A lot of the stuff is made in house and all the little touches like the pickled watermelon rind, which was reused from when they made watermelon sorbet, make it that much more thoughtful. Many of the items I went into town to shop for specifically the next day. For those folks saying this is a little bit on the expensive side, well that’s totally relative. I am from Austin and $100 6 course meal is not a bad price at all. I will say the service was exceptional. If you’re talking Michelin stars I would say definitely Michelin star service. Donna was so thoughtful and came out and chatted with every single table made sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed. Cody was super knowledgeable and a true Eurekan, so had lots of great tips and stories about the town and the restaurant itself. If you are in town visiting, just make the phone call, don’t be intimidated by the six course tasting menu. It is not stuffy, or hoity-toity, but still very refined and a really unique special experience. I also got the wine pairing, which was only an additional $35 (which again is really good pricing from what I’m used to in a big city). Overall, it’s just so exciting and a real treat to get to see people doing what they love and are so passionate about - the ingredients, the menus, the pairings, and the whole ambience. A must do if you are in...

This little place is pretty neat and the food was amazing. Upon arrival we were greeted by several of the wait staff and shown to our table. There was light music playing in the background giving the feel of a trendy restaurant and our booth was isolated from other tables which was very nice. The menu looked terrific and we ordered the cheese plate, a charred ceasar salad and a house salad. The cheese plate had many different cheeses which were delicious, but the home run was the pickled mustard seeds. Our dinner plates were two scallops, a cod, and a beef wellington. The scallops were amazing and the risotto with it was uncomprehendingly delicious. Easily the best scallops I've had in my life. The beef wellington was a beautiful dish and it was well cooked, tender and full of flavor. The only miss of the night was the cod. Possibly over cooked and the flavors were not very good. For dessert we had deconstructed carrot cake and cheese cake. Both were good, but not quite on par with the main dishes. Presentation was beautiful of both. This place is an excellent dining experience with very attentive wait staff and exceptional food. The price matches the high quality of food for a good value. One regret is that we didn't order the smoked beef carpaccio. It looked like a fun and...

In every possible way, this was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine visiting Eureka Springs again without returning to Le Stick. The staff were incredible, attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about the courses they were serving. I don’t ever write reviews but I had to for them!

It’s such a unique and intimate experience to receive each course alongside everyone else in the restaurant, all of us celebrating something different. For us, it was a birthday, and it was easily the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.

The food was outstanding; creative, perfectly balanced combinations of flavors that worked beautifully together. At first, the menu seemed a little intimidating, but the executive chef clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. Every dish that came out left me in awe, each one somehow topping the last. They offer wine pairings with each course but we went with a bottle of Riesling which went surprisingly well with everything.

A huge thank you to the entire team at Le Stick for making our night one we’ll be talking about for...
