Our daughter was in town from Fayetteville for the weekend and asked to go out to dinner....on a Sunday night....in Hot Springs. There are limited options for nice Sunday night dinners, but I remembered Eden Restaurant & was able to make a last minute reservation. We were all really pleased with our entrees (porterhouse pork chop, pasta with shrimp, & an entree salad with chicken) and my daughter said her Lavender Lover cocktail was a nice blend of tart & sweet. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was good. We had a lovely time. Eden is my *favorite* brunch in town, but we will definitely be coming back for dinner more often, too!

Capeo was wonderful. Our server was excellent and the meal was really delicious. My husband had the fish special and I had the fettuccine with chicken. His was tastier than mine. We had the bruschetta appetizer. He had the Caesar salad and I had the House salad with balsamic dressing which was fab! The ambiance was perfect for our date tonight.
