My boyfriend & I came here tonight for his birthday, and everything was AMAZING! It was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. The filet was cooked to perfection and the lobster was mouth watering! Their French onion soup has always been our favorite. But what really made us come here tonight is their bread pudding! Always so good. Bradley did an exceptional job taking care of us with his great recommendations and menu knowledge. The pianist even played happy birthday whilst we got his dessert. 10/10!

My experience at Sonny William’s was perfect. I started my meal with the calamari appetizer. The calamari was fresh and paired with its tangy sauce; it was delicious. My entree was the filet mignon with a side of three cheese macaroni. The steak melts in your mouth, and the macaroni is cheesy goodness. The desserts are a must-have! The chocolate cream brûlée had me fighting for the last bite. And the bread pudding tastes like your grandmother’s recipe. The food is excellent, but the atmosphere is even better! The pianist is fantastic at his job and accompanies your dinner with beautiful music. The service is also incredible: We never had an empty glass. Overall, Sonny William’s is a lavish experience that, although pricey, is worth every dollar.

Others have mention they had John for a server and how nice and attractive he is. I will have to concur. The restaurant is indeed romantic, the food was 5 star, the piano music was beautiful and if you are lucky to have John as your server, the night will be perfect. This was a date night away from the kids and this place doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend.

Hands down the most flavorful and tender steak I have had in my entire life! They gave me a knife but I'm not sure what for. I used my spoon and spoon only to cut this 5 star steak filet! Sides were equally amazing and please do not get me started on the shrimp cocktail we ordered for our appetizer ❤️This establishment is by far better than anything this simple country boy deserves but I'm blessed my wife and brother from the Army had the same experience 🔥💪 thank you for having us!!

John was an amazing waiter. I have a food allergy and he really worked with me and the kitchen to make sure I enjoyed my meal. The restaurant was fairly quiet and intimate. My husband and I really enjoyed our night out. If you go - which I highly recommend you do- ask for John- you will not be disappointed.

We started off with crab cakes and salad, both were amazing! We were all offered bread and butter which I was so happy for, I love bread! For entrees I got the lobster with grilled zucchini, Mac n cheese, and baked potato. The sauce for the lobster (and the lobster itself) were absolutely delicious! Sides were good as well. My wife got the filet with green beans and mashed potato’s and hers was yummy as well! Our waitress Beth was super attentive and sweet! Overall an amazing experience.

I was blown away by the chateaubriand steak. Everything was delish. Clients loved it. Service was excellent. Will be back. Live piano was a nice touch.

States the best Steaks in Arkansas and is a fine dining restaurant. Atmosphere is good, have live piano entertainment that takes requests. Couple of issues. #1 steak comes with green beans and 1 starch side. I asked if I could get mushrooms as they were the same price as a side starch. The answer was yes for $9 more. You cannot substitute another side for the starch side unless you double up on green beans which is what I did. Second and most important, the steak was tough and chewy. I got the New York Strip which is my favorite. The seasoning was okay, and the steak texture and toughness was not great or even good. Now was it edible, of course! Was it awful, of course not. Was it worth the fine dining price tag, not on this trip. It can happen with steaks. The service was great and everything was good. Just a miss on this visit with a tough steak.
