Once in 100 Years...

At the “front porch of Little Rock,” conveniently located at “111” West Markham Street, you may want to keep an eye on the door because the 11th person to walk in for lunch and announce themselves at The Capital Bar and Grill will get it on the house. Come dinner time at Ashley’s, the 11th couple to arrive for their reservation will be surprised with the offer to devour chef Lee Richardson’s 3 Course Tasting Menu for two people, paired with exceptional wines for $111 [excluding Tax and Gratuity.] Dishes may include Melon Salad with Ricotta, Country Ham and Candied Hazelnuts; Whole Roasted Falling Sky Chicken with Local Rice and Farm Fresh Vegetables; and Old Fashioned Crème Brûlée with Oatmeal Cookies.
