Best Seasonal Restaurants in Hot Springs

We had an excellent experience at J & S Italian Villa! Food was delicious, drinks were great, eggplant appetizer was beyond delicious! Upon ordering, we asked our waiter, Joe, for explanations of a few items and he was spot on with his descriptions! We will go back again and again if this is the standard of this restaurant! Pistachio encrusted salmon with veggies was more than ample size and tasted great. The seafood pasta, a bit spicy was also ample and tasty! All and all, we were so pleased by our overall experience!

We dined here on January 2, 2025 party of five with two elderly parents. We had a wonderful experience. The service was wonderful. The food was excellent. We tried several different beers from their tap. Great variety & people ordered at the table, the meat and cheese plate that does come with the pretzel which was awesome and then a couple people got the Brotz. Another person got like the variety plate and then there’s someone had the salad because they had an extreme allergy, which they totally accommodated. another person got the pork shank. Overall the food was amazing but the big winner was the apple strudel. 

Impeccable! My wife and I have dined here on New Year’s Day (our anniversary) for the past 3 years. Always a wonderful experience.

This was a special Christmas buffet at the historic Arlington hotel in Hot Springs, AR. It was very nice with a live pianist playing Christmas songs. There was a wide variety of salad items, main course items and dessert choices. There's also two carving stations and a smoked salmon station. The hotel was beautifully decorated. They had a giant ginger house and Christmas tree. We'll worth the $60 per person.

Great food & great service! This was our first visit, but it won’t be our last.
