Park Grill | Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts — Restaurant in Little Rock

I’ve eaten here several different times since the museum opened and this place seems very poorly managed. One time, when I asked the server how he was, his response was “well, I’m here.” A couple of times I’ve tried to come on a nice day and sit outside with my dog to eat lunch but the response was always “we aren’t seating outside” due to staffing. I last tried to eat here during the AMFA Art Market, a highly advertised event. Again, they were ill prepared. We walked in around noon for lunch and there was no hostess to be seen. The manager ran over to tell us we’d be seated in about 15 minutes so we waited.

The views in the restaurant of McArthur Park are lovely. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable....

Park Grill is a good place to have a meal, and one that's usually well-prepared and decent tasting at that. We went for brunch today and were pleased, though thought that the plates might all have been better seasoned. The menu offered breakfast dishes including steak and eggs and omelettes, as well as sandwiches and specials related to the Diego Rivera exhibit now underway at the museum. Wine, beer, and cocktails are also available.

Our wait-staff person was cordial and patient with one cranky person in the group who threatened to send his plate back if it wasn't done to his satisfaction. All in all, a great experience, one matching good experiences I've had with the previous incarnation of the restaurant before the museum...
