My wife and I drove from Kansas City to Hot Springs for a couples getaway so we stopped along our drive to hike and check out local wineries near Alma, AR. It was late, we drove Hwy 7 in darkness and my wife reserved us...a table at the Vault in downtown Hot Springs for dinner.
Somehow, something got confused and we ended up at Luna Bella instead. It was 8pm, we were seated immediately and under-dressed, we didn't know. Our waiter was awesome! Great personality, gave us tips for visiting, and the food was unreal! Food you would only see or eat at a 5-star restaurant, but well worth the earlier confusion. We had the special, sea bass on pasta with veggies, and absolutely amazing food!!
If we return to Hot Springs, Luna Bella is a must stop. This place is a "hole-in-the-wall," they don't have national advertising, and we were told they've been the best restaurant in Hot Springs for 8 consecutive years. Fine dining, average plate is $20.More
