    The Bugler is the best restaurant overall that I've been to in a long time! The waiter was absolutely on the ball watching to see when we should get the next course. Giving his thoughts on what were the best dishes and we had already decided on what we were going to get but his first choice was what we had already decided on. He asked questions and was very conversational and considerate. It was my birthday and he made it special along with the chef because we absolutely had the best meal I've eaten, which was the sea bass entre! Delicious! Also my birthday dessert was scrumptious!! I would go back to Oaklawn only to go eat at The Bugler again!! Thank you so much! Lisa

    Service ruined our meal. Waiter was not attentive and didn’t bring item when requested. Never acknowledged his mistake.

    The hostess. The waiter. The food. Top Notch! The appetizer, the pork rack and the filet was A-maxing. It will be my splurge and guilty pleasure anytime I am in Hot Springs. Every succulent and delicious bite was worth every penny.

    The experience and food was more than you could have imagined and asked for. Everyone from the time you walked in to the time you walked out was very attentive to you and pleasant as well. We will be going back very soon.
