The food was excellent, they don’t allow any substitutions & for the most part expensive. Very pricey but I would recommend & come back the food is excellent.

It's rare that I order a steak when eating out since most restaurants either serve them tender but flavorless or overcooked. 501 Prime is the only place I can order a steak that is superbly perfect.

This is an outstanding restaurant! Last time we ate here, we had steaks and they were fantastic….this time we both had fish specials and they were both some the best seafood we ever had! We had great service from Jack as well. Very nice wine selection, too! Will dine here again our next trip to Hot Springs. Highly recommend!

Rose, our server, was absolutely the worst server that I have had in my lifetime of 50 years. Didn’t get us water, didn’t ask how our meal was, didn’t ask if we wanted more wine, etc.
