Reviews for Bar Cleeta in Bentonville, AK
I?ve been to Bar Cleeta for numerous occasions - large groups to intimate meals. This is the place to go for the best service in... NWA. Some girlfriends and I wanted to keep our conversation going, so they generously let our group of 9 come in at nearly 10 pmand order wine. The food her is always divine and great portions for the price. Read more
Here in Bentonville for a cycling trip and stumbled into a slice of perfection at Bar Cleeta. We just had time for two things: ... a beef tartare dish and an amazing torchon of foie gras. What a gem. Do not miss if you are here in NW Arkansas! Read more
Bar Cleeta is my partner and I?s go to for our anniversaries. It is centrally located. Privately owned and efficiently operated.... The space itself is warm and rarely crowded. Each dish is obviously made with skilled intent and the menu has changed each timewe have gone. Small plates here, so you get to try many things and experiment with pairings from a fabulous wine selection. Theowners are very sweet. This is an experience for any special occasion. Read more
Excellent customer service from our server! Very good drinks and vibe in Bentonville, Arkansas with shared plate dining. Our... favorite dishes were the Spanish octopus and crispy bacon. We love that this spot was opened by a husband-and-wife team and anArkansas native. This was our first trip to Bentonville and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality flavors! Read more
My husband and I seldom make time to venture out for date nights like we should. He made reservations here, as it was highly... recommended and it did not disappoint even in the slightest. The environment was cozy, intimate and inviting. It made for areally great dinner experience to feel like we were in the comfort of just ourselves. Very romantic. I really appreciated thatwe didn?t feel on top of the other tables. A great dining experience allows for that. Our server Samantha, was so accommodatingin helping suggest drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Not knowing how to pair our small plates, she spent time answering any andall questions on what was what, and then gave her own honest recommendations of what pairs well together. Which was reallyappreciated to feel guided. The food was delicious. It was unique and flavorsome. My husband and I left very full. It was awonderful experience. I think quality local sourcing allows for a fair price. I personally really respect when local businessessource locally, and I think the price was very reasonable based on such quality food, quality flavor, and quality service. Read more
I will have to say the delicious raw oysters with a mignonette was my fave! The beet risotto came in second but truly there... wasn?t a bad thing on the menu! They have an extraordinary wine list and the cocktails were not bad either. My only constructivecriticism would be to ease off the vinegar salt run on the potatoes with the octopus, other than that, not much else to say. Agreat place to share a bunch of small nibbles with chic atmosphere. Read more

To begin, we went with a cabernet franc and an Old Fashion along with the Chef?s choice, three cheeses board. It came with... crostini and rosemary-infused honey. Amazing start to a delicious meal! For entrees, we first shared campanelle with garlicconfit, black truffle and maitake mushrooms. At first bite you know you?re eating fresh pasta. Incredible! Next we shared thepolenta with lamb ragu. This was also delicious and the pomegranate was a surprise twist. To wrap up the meal, we ended withhorchata ice cream with rice puff bridle. This was the perfect combination of upscale ice cream, light and delicious, with alittle crisp of a childhood memory. Highly recommend. Read more
