table mesa bistro

great experience. our first time to bentonville ar to see the crystal bridges museum. looking for a good restaurant for our anniversary. we found table mesa bistro, and were very glad we did. the restaurant was a bit crowded (that's good). the server (kimberlina) was amazing), she knew the menu and made very good recommendations. i had the featured "enchiladas del mar", my wife had the "mama mia". they were both excellent... it was the first time i'd seen my wife finish an entire meal in about five years!!!! then we ordered dessert. the chocolate "tres leches" cake was heavenly. very nice people, great service, great experience..

i don't get it.... this place is terrible. i have no idea why this place stays so busy and why you have to have a reservation - the two times i've eaten there, it was awful, and i wish i'd gone to sonic or taco bell for lunch. had the tacos, and it's hard to mess up tacos, but this place found a way to do it. maybe others will like it, but i've gotten better food at restaurants that were on wheels.

not bad. ate there last night. no trouble getting in - no reservation. very good service. cerviche was good. carnitas also pretty good. the paella on the other hand was awful. it bore little resemblance to a true paella. the ingrdients were cooked separately & then put on the same plate. it was way too salty. inedible! prices were moderate & serving sizes won't leave you wanting desert. i would go back, but not for the paella.

fabulous! one of our favorite places to have dinner. enjoyed cinco de mayo there and enjoyed every bit of it!!!

very complicated menu. service was a little off for us considering the prices. entrees trickled out and i think they forgot one person's order.

food at table table is pretty good. sorry. still can't get over the double title of this restaurant. we've tried a variety of menu items over time, including their brunch items. we've enjoyed it each time. the french toast there is the best i've ever had!

can't wait to return! i had the chopped vegetable salad since i was dining for lunch but my coworker had the lobster tacos and i will be returning soon simply for the tacos.  the guacamole with pineapple pico was fabulous as well. if you're in the bentonville area i definitely suggest table mesa.

a nice change. firstly this restaurants location is one of it's best attributes finally bringing some life to the town square in bentonville - hopefully a step in the right direction for, what was, a sterile area that needed reviving. 2 other restaurants have failed in thsi area (bristols and the sanctuary) but i think these guys have got it right.

it does miss a nice active bar scene and the tables and chairs are not exactly comfortable but the food is well prepared using fresh ingredients. the chile rellenio was first class. with so many mexican restauinrants in the area i would like to see them expand their tapas beyond dates wrapped in bacon (which were good) as i think they could find a niche in the area for a spanish style restaurant.

decor needs a little lift and the lighting leaves a little to be desired but these can be overlooked if the kitchen continues its good work.

this was a fantastic weekend brunch. the quality of the food was amazing and everyone in our party found several things that they loved. great attention to detail in the pastry/baked goods. the line for the custom made omelette bar moved quickly. we will definitely return during our next visit.

love! sangrias were amazing! make a reservation for dinner!!! lunch is pretty fast! brunch is the best!!! great service and clean place! food is very very good.

we ordered he fish
🐟 🥗 tuna salad and tacos🌮 🍹
our waiter was nice👍🏽

this #haikureview is brought to you by the argument following the dinner. she could not believe i made her eat “raw” fish. i explained the fish was cooked medium rare, despite this, we both still found the experience rather yummy 😋.

finally got around to trying this local favorite. it was unique and tasty! the fajitas were perfect and my wife really liked her seafood quesadillas although i can’t be certain that the crab meat wasn’t imitation. the guacamole and cheese dip were also very good. be sure to try this place out!

amazing brunch!!! a ton of options that looked and tasted great! server was a bit absent, but it happens. highly recommend! try the butternut squash enchiladas if you get a chance.

great place on the bentonville square. table mesa has a great menu spanning mexican/southwestern/latin dishes, burgers, salads and soups and a brunch menu too.

i really like the atmosphere, casual yet nice. our server was great taking good care of us and answering all our questions about the menu.

we started with a unique take on ceviche with ahi tuna and smoked salmon on a half of grilled avocado. while it didn't have the citrus flavor of the real deal it was fantastic. i want to try other appetizers but it's gonna be hard not ordering this again.

the curry chicken burrito, chorizo burger and shrimp fajitas were very good thou i was looking for more curry flavor from the burrito.

i can't wait to go back, a great experience i look forward to repeating.

i liked it back in 2012 when transplants from seattle, carl & his wife first opened table mesa - "asia pacific meets mexican cuisine", i wrote and people wondered if i or they were crazy, fast forward six years and their reputation precedes them in spades. a visiting guest asks a local 'where's a good restaurant?' and out pops "table mesa or their sister restaurant tavola trattoria".

and they just keep expanding - now there is table on the hill, in the legacy building down in fayetteville, plus concept restaurants the painted table grill & liquids and fork american kitchen & bar.

it's hip, it's casual, it's consistently good, and it has already received this years 2015 trip advisor excellence award. so what are you waiting for, beat a path to table mesa's door. reservations get priority seating, otherwise be prepared to wait. like the mysterious hum heard by some in taos, the buzz in bentonville around the square is still table mesa.
