Great atmosphere. Ask for Doug to be your server; he was amazing. My son and I each had a filet and they were cooked perfectly. Every dollar spent here is worth it.

This was our second time here, and it was just wonderful! The burrata was fabulous, and we loved the rigatoni (again). I tried the gnocchi and my husband the pork chop, and we both have a new favorite dish! Dessert was the salted caramel chocolate cobbler….i have no words except WOW!!! We can’t wait to return!

Bentonville

About the restaurant

Sestina is a welcoming Tuscan steakhouse serving classic steaks, handmade pastas, and an expansive wine list. Anchored by a wood-burning grill, the steakhouse is inspired by legendary rural steakhouses of Tuscany, where seasonal ingredients are transformed into bold, shareable dishes. Guests can expect warm hospitality, open-fire cooking, and menus that celebrate local ingredients, from vegetables grown down the road to meats raised in neighboring counties. Located in The Compton, Sestina is refined yet relaxed, evoking the spirit of a countryside Italian kitchen in the heart of downtown Bentonville.

The physical aspect of the restaurant was very nice. The menu, both food and wine, was excellent. The waitstaff were also great. Jarrod was our server and we enjoyed his help. My only negative criticism is the hostess seemed sullen and wishing she could be anywhere else. No smile, no sense of being welcomed when we were seated, she was chatting with another employee when we arrived and we felt we were interrupting. Must be someone's daughter. Thank you for the memorable evening!

About the restaurant

Bentoville is a Food Theater — a single, open space in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas, where three live culinary stages run simultaneously. Here, iconic chefs, celebrated food brands, and culinary innovators come together under one roof — each show different from the last, each menu set before you arrive, and no two visits ever the same.

Built in partnership with Ippudo — in a landmark first US franchise in the brand's 40-year history — and Onyx Coffee Lab, Bentoville brings world-class culinary talent to the American heartland on a rotating basis, making the case that exceptional food belongs everywhere.

Bentoville's culinary vision is guided by two Michelin-starred chefs whose work has earned recognition in the most demanding dining rooms in the world: Chef Shinichiro Takagi and Chef Billy Kong. Their involvement is not incidental — it is the foundation the entire concept is built on. Every menu, every standard, every decision made in the kitchen traces back to them.

Had been to the Memphis Firebirds multiple times so I was excited when one opened closer to home!! We chose Firebirds to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary and it was excellent as expected. Our server, Tori, was fantastic as well!

It's been a few years since we have been to Blu Fish House. I have to say Wow! What a difference! The inside dining is much better! Kayla delivered excellent service, and our sushi dishes were outstanding. Blu has taken some of Aoi's menu items, which is fantastic, as we loved Aoi. We have to say the seafood is the freshest we have had in NWA. We WILL be back! Sending love to the sushi chef, he treated us right with the Chefs Choice roll.
