    Never dissappoints! The mains are great, but I am a lighter eater... one of their their "slider" appetizers & a veg side are perfect! Also great wine list and VALUE pricing compared to usual 100% markup on wines.

    My wife and I enjoyed a superb anniversary dinner at Grotto last night. It started with a notecard from the staff and ended with our server, Stephanie, taking some lovely photos of us with the cave as the backdrop. The meal included a perfectly cooked filet mignon with the Grotto style crabmeat Bearnaise topping for me and a deliciously seasoned grilled pork chop topped with garlic chive butter (recommended by our server) for my wife. The white cheddar macaroni was a delicious side choice. We shared two divine desserts...the vanilla sea salt caramel cake and the honeysuckle crème brûlée. Grotto Wood Fire Grill made a special night even more memorable for us with excellent service, a unique atmosphere, and well-prepared food. Highly recommend.

    The food is amazing. It is a must in ES. Make sure to get the baked potato, Mac and cheese, and salmon. The entrees are plenty big, my husband and I split a plate with an added side and were beyond satisfied.

    Great experience as always. Our server Mike was top-level as expected at such a venue. The swordfish special was something you would find at an ocean-front location, and came paired with some of the best mashed potatoes you’ll ever eat. The wine list is extensive along with a nice selection of local craft beers. Grotto is as consistent a restaurant you will find. We’ll be back again as we have for over 6 years now.

    We ate here on our 20th anniversary. I let them know before hand it was going to be a special meal, so they reserved us the window seat and left a special card on the table. The food was amazing. We both had ribeyes, cooked perfectly. Great wine list with lots of choice for varying budgets. I am celiac, so eating out is always a gamble - GF menu choices are highlighted which made things easier! Will definitely head back there next time we’re in Eureka Springs.

    Steak house. Paid $300 for a meal that would have cost me half that anywhere else with mediocre service and ok food. Seasonings off. Wait staff cold. Would not go back.

Asparagus was tender and the Mac and cheese is to die for. Rhonda was our server and was so attentive and fun. Loved her! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and was helpful with recommendations. We will be back!

    The food was delicious, but the staff is rude. We had a reservation for over a month and when we walked in they sat us at a 6 person table next to the front door. When I asked if we could have our own table they told me that the other tables were already reserved. I had to ask again and they finally moved us, but were clearly annoyed. The entire time we were there, they never tried to seat anyone at the table we moved from. We were treated as if we were second rate and as if we were an inconvenience. I would not go there again.
