Super cool location as inside of restaurant had the rock wall/water. Food was just “okay”. For the price, was expecting more flavor. Brussel sprouts were burned. Best part of dinner was the Mac and Cheese (sadly).

Excellent food, the best I've had in Eureka Springs. My wife and I have visited this restaurant a few times over the years, and it's always fantastic. We shared the Creekstone sliders for an appetizer, then had the duck for our entree, before finishing with the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was excellent. Our server (I believe his name was Tony?) was very personable and knowledgeable. Just a great restaurant!

Service was excellent. Food almost excellent. Good flavors, but wouldn't put it in the price performer category. Baked potato and fries were the stars. We had a table for 2 pressed up against the wall, but better than the table on the stairs. By 7pm they were out of the chocolate dome that I was looking forward to. Nice place to eat if you are in Eureka but wouldn't make the drive over from NWA again just to eat here.

Pleasantly surprised by how great the overall experience was at Grotto. From service to food, we rate it top notch - excellent in every way. My wife and I enjoyed 3 small plates with a couple of sides, drinks, and desserts. Besides the always present challenge of parking in Eureka Springs, the evening was delightful and we wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

Overpriced. Steaks were cooked correctly but extremely charred. Overpowering char taste. They also ran out of baked potatoes. Cool atmosphere but not worth the money.

I would have given a 5 star rating except that I asked for a house wine and it was $6 more expensive than a similar Chardonnay on the wine menu. I thought a house wine would be less expensive.

Lamb ribeye was mostly fat. I asked the server to inform the chef. The server Tony agreed that it was indeed mostly fat. Nothing was done to correct the issue. Otherwise a great meal.
