Conifer is a beautiful local farm to table restaurant serving gluten free food ( safe for persons with Celiac disease). The cheddar biscuits with whipped butter, scallions and coarse salt were amazing. The entrees were delicious, fresh, and creative. I had the lamb meatballs with creamy polenta. My better half had the chicken with dumplings. We ended our meal with a crème fraîche ice cream with macerated sour cherries which was perfect. We enjoyed a lovely dinner.

This restaurant was hands down, one of the top places I have ever eaten. The food, experience and our server were fantastic! I cannot eat gluten and was filled with joy to try so many options here. The flavors were absolutely amazing and creativity was an A+. My husband and I dined here for our one year anniversary and did not leave disappointed. We will be back!!

An elegant atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff, and delicious food all make up the Conifer experience. If the chicken and dumplings are on the menu, GET IT! The potato dumplings are soft and pillowy and the chicken is perfectly cooked, definitely not dry at all. The hearty flavors will have you wishing for seconds!

Our first Conifer experience and it was truly excellent. I had been seeing it get James Beard Award recognition in recent years and now I can certainly see why. The atmosphere is a nice fine dining atmosphere but also feels modern and lively. We started with the biscuits, which are hard to believe are gluten free given how delicious they are. We both went with some mocktails that we both loved. It’s not everywhere that puts so much effort into making their mocktails so flavorful. I absolutely loved the gnocchi and I can’t wait to try more of their entrees. My wife had the short rib and wow, amazing. We were too full for dessert but they were kind enough to let us try a small portion of the sorbet and, you guessed it, also great. Kat took great care of us with recommendations and making sure any accommodations were met. Much appreciation to Conifer for a great date night!

Always impeccable service, food, cocktails, and wine here. And usually room at the bar with 0-15 min wait if you “forgot” to make a reservation. but honestly, I always prefer to sit with Alex at the bar, he makes the best cocktails. No shade to the rest of the staff, they are also wonderful. And Haley, the manager, makes time to make everyone feel included, seen, and special. Truly a wonderful dining experience.

Conifer was the perfect spot for welcoming our dear friends from NY to NWA! Our server Carol was particularly attentive to our dietary requirements and as always the dishes were a delight to the eye and served at their peak moment! Thank you for another memorable evening.

We enjoyed our visit to Conifer. Really relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Our waiter was phenomenal! We had cucumber salad (our favorite) & another one of the salads on the menu. Really enjoyed those. For entrees we had Pork Schnitzel & the Braised Beef. We weren’t super impressed with those two entrees, however with that being said they were both still very good & we would still come back to try some different dishes!

Conifer in Bentonville delivers a memorable dining experience. The chicken fried mushrooms were crispy and unique, while the fig carpaccio was beautifully plated and full of flavor. Their mocktail of the day was refreshing, but the standout for me was the rich, tender lamb meatballs. Refined yet welcoming, Conifer is a must-visit.

We made a reservation here for my sister’s birthday. The restaurant was very quaint, dimly lit with soft music playing. We were a little confused when we came in from the back entrance but we were directed to the host stand and were seated immediately. They have a rotating menu so it was just one page but the whole menu looked delicious. We ordered 3 appetizers and they were by far my favorite part! The tuna with beets and Brussels sprouts were amazing! I ordered the gnocchi which was delicious but a little soft for my liking, great flavor. The cocktails and mocktails were very good as well! I’d love to come back for drinks and appetizers any day! They also brought out a cookie with a candle for my sister’s birthday ! Everyone was very sweet, Zach was our waiter and I hope we get him again next time we come in because he was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant.

We went to Conifer for a date night, and the food was genuinely impressive. The steak was the standout, easily the best-prepared steak I’ve had. Great flavor, cooked exactly right, and nothing about it missed. The mushroom pasta was also very good. The fried mushrooms were flavorful but a bit heavy after a few bites. I didn’t fully indulge with horseradish, so I can’t necessarily judge this entirely. The starter salad was fresh and well-balanced.

Service and setting together made the experience smooth. The staff was consistent, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. The location is in a great spot right outside downtown, and the atmosphere fits a higher-end date night. We went the evening the lights were turned on in Bentonville, which added to the overall feel.

Price is on the higher side, but it aligns with the quality of the food and the type of place it is. I’d place it around a 7–8/10 on value. You’re paying for a well-executed meal and solid service.

They finished the meal with a raspberry sorbet, which was a nice touch. Overall, Conifer delivered on every major point, and I would go back without hesitation.
