What a beautiful restaurant and amazing unique food! I had the grouper special with risotto and asparagus and it was delicious! Watermelon salad is so unique and appetizing! Their brand new turtle chocolate meltdown cake and lemon bundt cake were so moist, and worth every calorie! Very soothing atmosphere and exceptionally friendly staff! Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this place! Although it looks unassuming from the outside, the inside had a pleasant, upscale atmosphere. The tables were set really nicely. I had the lemon drop martini (which was excellent! definitely recommend if you like sweeter mixed drinks and don’t want an obvious alcohol taste), the crostini and burrata, and the fettuccini alfredo with salmon. Everything was really tasty, but I don’t know that the fettucini alfredo was tasty enough to warrant the $29 price tag ($19 with an extra $10 for the salmon but it was still pretty good). I feel like it was worth it for the atmosphere of the place.

The most amazing experience. When you go, ask to sit in Derek’s section. He’s the most pleasant server and so helpful and gracious. The lasagna and pistachio salmon where the highlight. Definitely must haves. It was my birthday and they treated me to a desert of my choice. The lava cake add ice cream on the side! The owners were also very friendly and charismatic. Check this place out if you are in town!!!

This is not the first time we have been to this restaurant and we are always left impressed. But, today was special. Our waiter, Derrick, went out of his way for me on more than one occasion to make sure we had the best of service. To the point of involving the chef to make a special dish that was not allocated on the menu. Start to finish he was a pleasure to be around and we will continue to ask for him going forward. Thank you for hard work, Derrick. (Management and owners: if you are reading this he deserves a raise!) Your efforts do not go unnoticed. Along with the incredibly talented chef. The general manager, Lee, has never forgotten our face and always makes sure to stop by and say hello, check on us, make sure we are well taken care of, etc. This is also mirrored by the owners as well. Wonderful establishment in all areas that we will forever return to

I just wanted to stop in and brag on these guys. The servers remembered our large party drinks and orders flawlessly the entire time we were dining without being reminded. They were always above and beyond with keeping our drinks full and table cleared. All staff was very knowledgeable of all items on the menu.

We came here off the recommendation of a local, as we were visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was nice, our server was courteous and the live music was good. We arrived for our 830pm reservation and were seated by 820pm. However, by 940pm we still didn’t have our food. We all ordered a pasta dish. The waitress said told us several times the kitchen was backed up. When our meal came, we immediately got to-go boxes and paid the extremely high bill. I was very tired of hearing “I’m sorry”. When we return to Hot Springs, more than likely, we will explore some other options for dinner.

We were absolutely blown away by this little treasure in a shopping center. Don’t let that put you off, because the door is a portal into a 5 star restaurant! We are from Lubbock Texas and we were here doing a trade show at the civic center. I asked one of the locals for a recommendation of the best restaurant in Hot Springs. This is where she sent me, and I’m so glad she did!

The service and atmosphere at this restaurant is great. Every time my friends and I are in Hot Springs, we go to this restaurant. The restaurant has changed owners so some of our favorite dishes are no longer available, which is disappointing. I had the lobster bisque instead of a salad, which was cold and very fishy. Two of my other friends did as well. One friend’s was also cold and fishy. My other friend’s was steaming hot and very good. As my entree, I had the lobster rigatoni. It was good but the lobster in this dish was a bit fishy, also. One of my friends had the veal and it was cold. The manager gave our table free desserts because our food was not up to par, which was very nice.

Great experience all around. I have been to J & S multiple times now and the entire experience I is consistently great. They have live music that I would add to my playlist. The food is always prepared and presented in an artisan manner.

This place was a great find. Found it on Yelp. The menu was crafted by a chef from Milan. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. Probably the best Italian food in Hot Springs (and surrounding area). Oh, and the live music was excellent!
