Such a cute place. Had reservations and we were seated at a cozy corner booth in the moody downstairs bar area. My friend had Prosecco, a classy choice, and I started with an old fashioned and then the server recommended their special smoked manhattan, which quickly became my second drink! The focaccia was to die for! Came with whipped butter and it had a lovely taste to it. I will definitely return next time I’m in NWA.
If you’re ever in Bentonville and feel like surrendering to a culinary cult, let me introduce you to Laddy Slipper—the holy grail of tastebud adventures and my wife’s absolute obsession. We make it a ritual: every guest who steps foot in Bentonville gets a full initiation into this temple of ever-changing delights. First off, the menu at Laddy Slipper is like that friend who can’t decide on a hairstyle—it switches up every other week with so much surprise and flair that you’re never quite sure what you’re in for. One minute you’re eying the bread, which is so ridiculously phenomenal that it should come with a warning label ("Caution: may cause uncontrollable carb cravings and spontaneous happiness"). Seriously, this bread is the edible equivalent of a mic drop at a rock concert. But the real showstopper? Their Chicken Gnocchi. Picture this: a heroic slab of chicken teamed up with a sprinkle of pasta pieces, doing their own quirky rendition of haute cuisine. It doesn’t have the frills of a Michelin-star dish, but it has a punch of flavor that makes you wonder if it’s secretly been bench-pressing dinner expectations all week. And let’s be honest—sometimes all you need is a culinary shrug that says, “Yeah, this is amazing,” even if it’s just chicken and some wayward pasta. And just when you think you’ve savored all the magic, there’s a hidden speakeasy vibe waiting at the bottom of the stairs—a nod to the rebellious spirit of the prohibition era. It’s like finding out your favorite diner moonlights as an underground jazz club, complete with secret smiles and whispers that make you feel like you’re in on the best-kept secret in town. Laddy Slipper isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience, a rite of passage, and the ultimate "must-do" on guest tour. So, whether you’re a die-hard foodie or just in it for a good carb laugh, this place serves up memories you’ll be talking about long after the meal is over.
The only lounge in Bentonville it seems. Definitely a vibe when you walk in! The artwork is fantastic and the menu is diverse and eclectic. It looks like they updated their menu recently so I had the Overnight Sensation (espresso and liquor) and it was so good I am still thinking about it 2 days later! Our group went very early like 4:30 PM and ordered many shareable plates (corn empanadas were superb). There was no one else there besides us but after about 7-8 PM this place is packed and poppin’! Would highly recommend to check out and hang out as they have a patio area for nice weather too.
If you are looking for speakeasy vibes or a great patio in downtown Bentonville, you have to visit Lady Slipper. Cocktails are unique and delightful plus the food is perfect for sharing! Theo is a phenomenal server with honest recommendations, great personality, and timely check ins.
Had a bite to eat here on a Friday night around 8:30PM. Had the beet and bitter greens salad and the papas bravas along with the dessert of the day. Everything was delicious. Julie, our server, was attentive, knowledgeable, and so kind. We sat outside which was quieter than inside. The inside is beautifully appointed and has an upstairs and downstairs bar. Would definitely recommend if you’re downtown and looking for drinks and food.
This place is a fantastic spot for a date night or a casual hangout. The ambiance is fantastic, with great lighting, artwork, and accents. The food is also delicious! The patatas bravas were particularly tasty and came in a generous serving size. I highly recommend checking this place out. We can’t wait to try the lower level lounge next!
Fantastic atmosphere. Focaccia, olives, roasted veggie and the crispy potatoes were incredible. Cocktails were all delicious and well poured. Fast friendly service. Management was attentive and bussing tables while they were busy. Will definitely be back...soon. Can't wait to try the octopus!
I am here every week for date night with my husband. We can't get enough of this place. Their menu consists of the most impressive dishes that I've ever had in NWA. I commend the kitchen for curating different menus often. Each dish is a well-balanced experience. The kitchen really knows what they're doing. Their cocktails are good, too. But, the food is what keeps us coming back.
