This place is so charming! Great for a quiet, cozy nice dinner for a date night. It’s fairly small and we loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff had us well taken care of. The same gentleman who greeted us was our server and from what I could tell very efficiently and kindly took care of the restaurant’s patrons this particular evening. I went with the Chateaubriand Shitake Pasta. Quite tasty! I am a bleu cheese lover but my one critique is that I don’t think the flavor goes great with the otherwise wonderful ingredients to this dish. We had a truly great experience here and I’d love to come back and try more of their menu.

Restaurants win awards for fantastic food, and this place was definitely was one would have expected……..let’s get that clear from the get-go.
My wife and I made reservations for dinner as we have wondered about this place for some time. We were the first ones in the restaurant when they opened, but the kitchen was ready to serve and did not disappoint. We started with the Caesar Salad, which was a borderline work of art, and dressing that was utter perfection.
For our main course, I had the lamb shank, which literally fell off the bone, and was cooked to perfection in a delightful gravy that was out of this world. My wife has the oso bucco, which was also cooked to perfection and fell off the bone as well. With both meals there were vegetables, and garlic mashed potatoes that were heaven. All in all, a ton of food…….When our server came back and asked if we wanted desert, I asked, “Are you trying to kill me?”
Definitely going to be going back here!

It was our first time here, and Petit Bistro exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the service was excellent from start to finish. They have a great wine list, and Jason helped us choose the perfect wine to pair with our food. Highly recommended! ✨

We had for starter the grilled Brie and a seared tuna salad. Both were delicious. The Brie had local honey and I love to see businesses use local products. For the main course we opted for the surf and turf. The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection. In my opinion, they were as good as many 4 and 5 star restaurants I have eaten at. The steak was cooked medium rare and tasted amazing just like the roasted veggies. This restaurant is a must when visiting Bentonville!

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing dining experience at Petit Bistro. We were the only people in the entire restaurant and it was a truly romantic experience. The waiter was very polite and I was watching him constantly wiping down and cleaning while we were waiting on food. The place was very clean and organized. The selection of wine was extensive and very diverse. We tried a bottle of German wine that was delicious! The food was absolutely wonderful, very deep and rich. One of the best steaks I have ever had. The deserts were so rich and decadent.
Top notch dining experience well worth the cost!

Been here several times now, each time with my father. Every single dish is perfect, and we’ve made sure to mix it up for the most part. Absolutely fantastic service, the chefs are amazing, and the environment is exactly what a fine dining should be. Not too small, not too large, so the quality of service is the same for everyone. Dish portions are perfect. Every time we dine here, the servers treat everyone like they’ve been saving months to come out to dinner and they finally have the chance. It is a truly special experience. We will continue to come back. Best restaurant in NWA, hands down

I’ve been to the Petit Bistro a couple of times now. The service is so warm and genine. The atmosphere is cosy, intimate and vibrant. The food comforting and delicious. It takes effort to create that. I’ve found my new hideaway restaraunt. Compliments to the staff and the chefs. Five Stars.

We absolutely love eating here. The atmosphere, a quaint farmhouse,nis welcoming and romantic. The staff is very personable and have never steered us wrong when we ask for recommendations. We had the lamb shank and duck breast tonight. The lamb shank was ridiculously tender, very moist, and had a great texture. The duck breast was seasoned so well and the fat was perfectly rendered.

There were 4 adults in our party, each ordering a different entree. We all tried each others and all agreed the food was excellent. We asked to speak to Jeremy the chef and told him of our immense pleasure in all that he cooked.
One of the owners, Jason, greeted us upon arrival and made our dining experience an absolute pleasure. The ambiance of the cottage and warmth exhibited by all was above and beyond our expectations. We will be patrons for a long time to come.

Small but pleasant space. Service is generally good, because the space is small a few loud tables can affect the atmosphere. A broad enough menu that everyone should find an option they like. Maybe consider a night other than F/S, a good special as occasion place.
