We'd never been to Walter's Green Room/HCM and they were offering a special 5 course menu for New Years that we were excited to try. The Green Room itself is a small coffee shop/lounge situation with a bar, a couple conversation circles but only a...few tables that were set for larger parties. I was curious where they were going to sit a couple, and our host took us out into the Market. Various tables were set up and down the center aisles, ours was next to shelves with pasta and sauce. I don't know if this is their normal set up or if it was this way for the holiday crowd. It was certainly a bit odd, but also kinda fun and we were here for a new experience. In a few minutes of being seated the lights came down, the candles were lit, the wine was poured and the fact we were in the middle of a grocery store just faded away. The service all night was excellent, the crowd really started gathering about 6ish and they were working hard, but never missed a beat. Okay, what you really want to know about is the food. Again this was a special holiday menu, we have yet to try the regular menu, but we will be back to discover it. For this night, the appetizer was a shrimp in patte on a cracker. Sounds simple but whatever was in that patte was totally delicious. Next course was soup or salad, we went with the soup, cream of mushroom. It was rich and yummy. We both agreed we'd never had better. Next course we went for was a scallop dish. Small scallops served with some kind of cheese and bacon deliciousness served in a nest of crispy potato sticks and topped with just a bit of cranberry. It was amazing to look at and just as amazing to eat. Next, the entree. I went for Veal Scallopini Marsala, she went for the Chateaubriand. The veal was flavorful and the crust stayed crispy in the sauce. The Cheateau had a wonderful smoke to it and was melt-in-your-mouth tender. My wife said its was "absolute perfection" and that is saying something. Everything was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned including the mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side. We've eaten at many of the fine dining establishments in Little Rock over the years but this was the best meal yet. Love it! We will be back.More
