Jason was our server and was so personable and helpful! I have celiac disease and he was very knowledgeable about I could have! Their menu is VERY accommodating for gluten allergies!

I rarely get to write this type of review, a positive one. Having wanted to go for some time, I finally had the best dinner partner, my mother, who was visiting from out of town. We were excited to get (a little) dressed up and experience an all-gluten-free menu. Although it's a little tricky finding your way into Conifer due to the street construction, once you make your way into the space, you find yourself in a bit of awe at the restaurant's beauty from both a functional and aesthetic stance. We were immediately escorted to our table and greeted by the most dazzling server, Frankie, who was just as pretty as she was friendly. We both ordered our mocktails and were given an overview of the items not featured on the menu. We started with the beet salad and the cornbread for our appetizer while we continued to pursue all the delicacies illustrated on the menu page. The beets were exceptional for an appetizer, and the cornbread's butter was fresh and zesty. I ordered the chicken and dumplings, and my mother ordered the crab cakes for our main meal. We split the brussels sprouts, and both ordered dessert...yes, we couldn't stop eating. Between the oohs and ahhs, Frankie would appear to see how we were doing, and each time, she shared a little about the restaurant, the owner, and how much she enjoyed working at Conifer; such pleasant conversations to go along with such an exceptional meal. The meal was on par with any other celebrated cuisine, and I have had the luxury of eating at several Michelin-starred and James Beard-winning establishments. NW Arkansas has some excellent restaurants indeed, fewer than you might think for a gentrified area such as this, but a few. I can always find a few things on any restaurant menu that allows me to eat out wherever I go. Conifer has won the top slot! Is it pricey? Well, perhaps to some, but for me, having no choice other than a gluten-free diet, it was a delight to eat as I did before having to eliminate gluten. There was something on the menu for everyone, even those without gluten allergies. The chef, Matthew Cooper, was kind enough to come to speak with my mother and me. He was just as cool as his food, and his food was delicious. Eating at Conifer was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and I am excited to head back and try something new each visit.

The Preacher’s Son is an unmissable dining experience. Every dish is unique and clearly well thought out. All our dishes were excellent. So many options for gluten free. Dining with celiac was simple. Pro-tip: pick three entrees and let the waiter/chef pick. You won’t be disappointed.

My meal was delicious! So was my mom’s. I’d skip the $19 appetizer we got, though. Very little food for the cost. Mixed drinks were good. Our waitress was lovely and very patient with all of our questions about the menu. I eat gluten free, and I had delicious options. The chocolate creme brûlée was good, too. It was so nice to have an actual dessert option that I could eat! Would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.

Flippin wow man, this is one of the best places in Bentonville theres only three places we eat out at because we want to be healthy and Meld has good ingredients that don't leave you walking away feeling sleepy and lacking energy, rather you have energy form the food you ate like we're supposed to. Everything is great. All of it. If I were to make one recommendation, it'd simply be to ditch the TVs. They are very distracting when you're trying to talk to your kids/family, but seriously that's the only thing. We love the bread they use for their pizzas and sandwiches. The gluten free option rocks too. Pizzas are amazing, potatoes are amazing and every once in a blue moon they bring out the big guns... THE CHICKEN TINGA. Never miss the Tinga! It's the best dang sandwich in town. They deserve an award for that bad boy. Oh my goodness. Several awards. Call em' now and see if that'll be the special soon. You don't wanna miss it.
