Reviews Allsopp & Chapple Restaurant + Bar

We had the best anniversary dinner! The staff was top notch and the food was amazingly delicious! We will return very soon! Thank you for making our anniversary such a special evening.

Well the potatoes were delicious The raspberry duck was the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. I've never had a steak chicken or any other kind of meat it tasted so good the spring mushrooms you have to try them they are delicious I and Brent cannot wait to go back to eat there. It was like being in Paris .

Is this the best restaurant in Little Rock.... I wouldn't argue with you if you said yes. The bruschetta was not bruschetta at all. We don't like bruschetta, but this was more like an Italian fondue. It was amazing. I'm glad we saw it on another table and asked what it was, because the menu doesn't hint to this at all. The new York strip was fantastic. The ricotta cheesecake was also amazing.

Can't believe it has taken us this long to have dinner here! Wow! First of all the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. The service is top notch. What we had for dinner was delicious and attractive. Going to be one of my go to places!!

The photos are actually courtesy of a very accomodating valet who ran back (literally) to my car to retrieve the phone that I left in the console. I tipped her for the special trip and thanked her profusely while she caught her breath. Without her, there would be no photos for the review. The valet parking is free, so you may tip them generously. We had a 7:30 reservation and were seated promptly in what looked like a fairly busy dining room. The waitstaff who greeted us as Samantha, was bubbly, smiling, accommodating, and must be one of the instructors in the master’s class of serving, if there is such a thing. She was on point for the entire service, had perfect timing, and was patient and gracious while my dining partner flip flopped on her decision of entree. There was no thinking for me; the Duck Confit was on my radar when I looked at the menu online. We started with a crabcake. My crabcake baseline for excellence is the standard set by Pappas Seafood Company in Maryland. One of my peers was indignant one night when I sent her a photo of myself cooking crabcakes in my own kitchen and told me that I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, so she sent me several crabcakes and crab soup from Pappas, and the standard was established. The crabcakes at A&C were delicate and must have been carefully plated because they, like very good crabcakes are supposed to be, are comprised mostly of jumbo lump crab which does not bind well without a lot of fillers. These contained capers, which were a twist to me but worked very with the the other ingredients. I would definitely recommend. I had the duck, the breast cooked medium rare which was delicious. It came paired with a leg quarter, which was the best one could do with a dark section of fowl. Good flavor but just a bit dry. Wild rice, and green beans were the vegetables and were season perfectly. Someone in the kitchen is definitely tasting ithe product as they cook it. I’m not one to turn down the offer of a sampling my table mate’s selection and tonight was certainly no different. The lamb shank was falling off the bone as it is supposed to, and it was incredibly tender. It was plated with stoneground grits that an avowed hater of grits would even love. Half house salads worked their way into the mix at some point, and a salad is a salad, but the lemon vinaigrette was tangy and delicious and really brightened up the meal. The grand finale was an irresistible bread pudding with berries, served with a bowl of ice cream. I tried to temper my enthusiasm for devouring my “half” of the plate without being an obvious glutton, but I’m not sure that I succeeded. This was our first trip to A&C inspired by a generous coworker of my wife’s who gave her a gift card. They immediately climbed into our rotation of a dozen or so favorites that we patronize for fine dining. A&C is a very good example of how Little Rock has become a regional destination for foodies. If you have friends from out of town, you would be doing them a favor to visit one of the Little Rocks newest culinary destinations, and if you are passing through, Allsopp and Chapple should be on your list for future dining opportunities.

Date night and we wanted to try some where different. Man I am glad we chose this please. The food and service was excellent. 1/2 Charcuterie board for appetizer. And it was amazing. The salami, lamb Lollypop, and shrimp were amazing. It was well put together and the flavors were great. Filet - the wife ordered the filet and let me tell you. I snuck a bite and instantly thought next time I am here I am ordering it! The filet was cooked perfectly and was so tender. Wagyu short rib was very tasty and tender. I asked for extra veggies instead of the mashed potato’s and they had some great flavor also. Overall the service was excellent. This is a must try place…. Get the filet! I will next time.
