My wife and I went for our 25th Anniversary. I had the Boursin Filet… it was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing, highly recommend. My wife had a chicken dish and it was delicious as well. They cooked the chicken perfect with a nice crispy skin. My wife also had a peach salad that she really enjoyed, but would have liked a few more peaches, but not a big deal. They have a phenomenal bourbon and cocktail selection. I tried some new bourbons that I would not otherwise as most places don’t carry them. I highly recommend that if you’re in Hot Springs, make a reservation for 501 Prime! (Bourbon prices are extremely reasonable)

Everything we had was great. Juliette was very attentive and knowledgeable and carried to our needs, including dietary restrictions. Everything we had was delicious and on point: Fried Calamari and Shrimp, Watermelon salad (a special), Short Rib Pappardelle and Mediterranean Chicken with couscous, my favorite was the couscous. The Pound cake was very good and the creme brulee was exceptional. Thank you Saddiq and Juliette for a great night!
