Hail Fellow Well Met - Springdale

The food is simple in presentation yet impressively complex with every bite. The pork croquette had a texture reminiscent of 肉鬆 and was flavored with Korean spicy chili paste, perfectly balanced with creamy avocado. However, the masa dip was quite sweet and had an off-putting taste, almost reminiscent of bile; fortunately, the chips served alongside it were exceptional. The entrees were flawless, especially the vegetarian options; I would even say the vegetarian dishes outshined everything else. The desserts were astonishingly good, which is a rarity in modern restaurants where dessert often feels like an afterthought. HFWM has outperformed some of the best patisseries and creameries around. Though the service was rather slow—taking more than 20 minutes just for our drinks, and almost 30 minutes between courses—the experience was certainly worth the wait. The pricing was shockingly affordable, which only added to the overall satisfaction. I’ll definitely be returning, and I can’t recommend this place enough—10/10!

Our first visit was fantastic! We took our servers' recommendations for each course, and we were thrilled with the choices. The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was one-of-a-kind. The ambient music was a bit loud in the dining area, but that's just a matter of personal taste.

I really enjoyed my experience at the restaurant thanks to Kate, who did an excellent job explaining everything to us. Chef Eric was just as welcoming and gracious as his food!

Had a fantastic time. Starters and cocktails were on point. Timing of service was excellent. I'll be back.

Beautiful space and appointments. Music level was a little loud for our earlier dining time when it was less busy. Service was deft and unobtrusive, drinks well curated, and menu offered a focused list of offerings with any choices to appeal to different tastes. Not inexpensive, but worth it for a special occasion-appreciated the good quality complementary champagne for our wedding anniversary. Convenient to all of NWA off I-49, north of Fayetteville.
