What a memorable dinner we had at Sestina last weekend. We could certainly see why our waiter Reuben gets requested! He knows that menu like I knew the 1982 Dallas Cowboys roster (team pic was in my room growing up). He was super-helpful.
We started with the bread service, the little gem lettuces, and the meatballs. All were wonderful and those meatballs were a little piece of heaven!
For the main course, we split the Australian wagyu strip, the roasted half chicken, and the radiatori for our pasta. We also had the crispy artichoke, and the Yukon gold mashed potatoes. It was all SO good. That strip was other-worldly, as Reuben told us that it was aged over 300 days. The crispy artichoke? Beautiful surprise- just melted in my mouth.
For dessert, we had the mousse al cioccolato, a piece of chocolate cake with an awesome orange sauce and the tiramisu martini. Just exceptional.
Delicious food, beautiful spot, and we WILL be back!

Went for the first time today just for a quick drink and dessert, had heard great things about both. Everything was amazing, our server Kerry made the experience absolutely wonderful. Everyone was just incredible and that reviews were correct, will be dreaming of the mousse and tiramisu martini. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu soon. Thank you Sestina Team!

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Service was excellent and staff was super friendly. Great ambiance.
We had the tuna tartare, beef carpaccio, bread, roasted chicken, pork chop, and broccoli raab and loved them all. I’m sure everything else is amazing too. Will absolutely be coming back whenever I’m in town.

During a stay at The Compton, we enjoyed a truly amazing meal and terrific service. The elevated but cozy atmosphere is perfect and this may be our new favorite place in NWA for a nice dinner.
We shared the bread service, radiatori, filet mingnon, and campanelle gratinata – all were delicious and perfectly prepared. My favorite, however, was the mousse al cioccolato for dessert. A must for both the decadence and experience, which involves at-the-table blow-torch toasting.

A beautiful, upscale dining space with a creative and varied menu. I love swordfish and have ordered it dozens of times but Sestina’s is the best Ive ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned and prepared! Everything I tasted, mussels, side vegetables and brocolini, were deliciously seasoned, prepared and served at the correct temperature. Ill definitely be back soon.

Went here for our anniversary dinner. The vibe is warm, elevated, and welcoming. The food was delicious. Notable mentions were the bread service, the radiatori and prime rib eye steak. But what impressed me more than anything was the staff. From the hosts to the waitstaff to management, everyone was attentive and friendly. We had a lovely experience and highly recommend!

Beautiful space. Some of the best pasta I’ve had anywhere, get the Radiatori bolognese. Steak was amazing, but save room for the tiramisu.

Let me start by saying the service and atmosphere were amazing here. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food fell short of expectations, however. Especially for the price. The meatballs were tough. I had to ask the first drink I ordered to be taken back because it tasted very similar to medicine. They had no problem replacing it with a different drink which was nice. The mac I ordered as a side had very little flavor. But the steak was great! Once there’s some improvement with the food and drinks, I’d consider this place a perfect go to.
