    I had the Cobb salad and it was yummy. That pimento cheese treat was special too. We enjoyed mimosa's and a wonderful visit to the Clinton Presidential Library afterward. I would definitely come back for a meal - even if I was not going to the Library. PS. This review won't let me upload pictures. I had two nice ones. Oh well.

    We first came to this location a couple months ago and had a subpar experience but this time they had us sold. The atmosphere was great especially for brunch. It wasn't too busy and the service was great. The burgers were very flavorful. The manager Greg makes personal appearance and serves his guest well to ensure they are well taken care of. Our waiter was friendly and upbeat and the staff moved quickly and efficiently. Would definitely go back.

    This place exceeded our expectations. It's a beautiful spot, and there were lots of joyful people present. The mimosas were a great deal, and the crabcakes Benedict and smoked salmon salad were both spot on, very flavorful. Truly the only issue was that we were right under the air conditioning and a bit cold, but otherwise the experience was delightful. I would love to try the outside patio once the weather cools off.

    I enjoyed our lunch there but prefer the brunch. The chicken tortilla soup was mushy but had a good flavor. The half sandwich was good but nothing special. The crème brûlée was delicious. Our server was very attentive and the ambiance perfect.

    The food we ordered was very good. The only issue with the service was that we wanted menu items that required batter and they were out, not out but not making anymore for the shift since they close at 2pm. I’ve worked in customer service for years and if customers are in the store before we close we have to serve our full menu. With that said you guys should think about that looks. Great restaurant just disappointed I was not able to try to chicken and waffles because about a little batter.

    Friends from out of town joined us for their first visit to 42. All of us, 5, ordered from the fixed price menu that includes 3 courses. One of the first course choices was new, a cheese and olive serving that was a real hit. Plentiful entree servings, we had 3 mahi-mahi and 2 pork chops, all just right and well enjoyed and then the dessert choices, hard to choose but the apple, again a new choice, was top notch, no crumbs left on any dessert plates. Servers were prompt and pleasant, a very nice evening.

    We came on a visit to Little Rock, and had a fabulous time. The waitress and hostesses were very kind to my children, and offered them a kids menu as well. The brisket grilled cheese was fantastic, and my kids enjoyed their burgers. The ambiance was great- loved looking out over the bridge and Little Rock. The chicken nachos that my husband ordered were okay, but not great. Everything else was fabulous.
