Harry the bartender is my favorite!! Very accommodating and thoughtful. I ordered the ribeye and it was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. Piano music on a Tuesday? It was nice. Will return

If you love steak, you must try Sonny Williams' Steak Room! I am a steak lover through and through and this restaurant had some of the best steak that I have had in years. The crust on my steak was amazing and perfectly seasoned. My husband's was the same and the service was great as well. There was even a live pianist playing fun Christmas songs! There was a small miscommunication when we walked in. We had called ten minutes prior as it was a Friday night at 7pm. We asked what the wait was and they said that there was no wait but when we arrived they said they were pretty fully booked with reservations for the evening. In the end we were able to be sat right away but it seemed a bit odd. The busser ran over right away to offer us water and was very kind and kept our glasses topped off all night. Our server was incredibly kind and checked in on us periodically as it was a busy Friday night. Finally, the food was simply amazing. Our appetizer was the Spinach Artichoke Dip with Crustini and this was great. As two people we ate the whole thing (and then regretted not being able to try dessert). The dish was seasoning incredibly well, it was clear the artichoke is seasoned beforehand which is a nice surprise as most dips have plain artichoke straight from the jar. My New York Strip was cooked perfectly and although I didn't get any optional sauces, the steak did not need it at all. The crust on the steak was so flavorful and they even garnish the plate edges with season salt (think classic lawry's season salt). The sautéed asparagus was perfectly cooked and I would definitely order it again. The potatoes au gratin were under seasoned but nothing some salt and pepper from the table couldn't fix. My husband got the filet mignon and was also crusted beautifully. He said that the béarnaise choice went perfect with the filet and he highly recommends. His mashed potatoes were plated beautifully (whipped and piped) and the first few bites were great but their method of plating caused the mashed potatoes to get hard within a couple minutes. For example, the potatoes quickly developed a crust which is a little unappealing. The brussels sprouts were also much softer and wetter than expected for a roasted Brussels sprouts so we would recommend going in another direction for your vegetable. We will definitely be coming back again and hopefully saving some room for dessert!

After a long travel day, I decided to give Sonny Williams a try. It came highly recommended from a friend. When I entered the restaurant I was promptly greeted. I was asked about seat preference. I opted for the bar as they are full service and I wanted to watch sports. The bartender greeted me provided me with a cup of ice water and took my drink order. I ordered a Pomegranate Martini . He made my drink and offered bread and butter. I had questions about the menu and he gave good suggestions. I ordered the lamb chops with the goat cheese on the side for my entree. The lamb was seasoned to perfection and cooked to the proper temp. For dessert I asked what was his favorites he mentioned the Bread Pudding and the Crème Brûlée. After eating bread and butter and my meal I decided on the smaller portioned Creme Brûlée. It did not disappoint. Service was top tier and delivered with a smile. The waitstaff worked together to make the dining experience a pleasant one. The piano player gave the perfect ambiance for a date night. If you're in the area I highly recommend you stop in and dine.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Sonny Williams. The food was amazing, our waiter John was a true gem. I have a food allergy and he really worked with me on making sure I would have an enjoyable meal. The restaurant itself was inviting and perfect for a date night out. It was quiet enough that we could actually carry on a conversation and hear each other. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone who comes through Little Rock.

Made reservations over the phone. We walked in and were immediately seated. The (recorded) music was a poor choice and annoying. Only a song later an actual pianist started playing. He played well. The restaurant wasn't busy. Only a few other tables on a weeknight when we arrived I didn't have any expectations of this restaurant as I had never heard of it and l didn't pick it. The salad options lacked description in the menu. The server didn't make it sound any more appealing than the lack luster menu did. I would've liked a salad or starter but nothing sounded good. Same goes for the cocktails. I'm not sure if they're good quality or not but they didn't sound like it so I went with wine. Would've preferred to save wine for dinner. The steak was great. We loved the charred crust on both the steaks we ordered. The au gratin potatoes lacked flavor. The green beans were good and the broccoli okay (additional fee to substitute these in lieu of green beans). The desserts are home made. The brownie okay, but thin; the cheesecake was better. If the steak wouldn't have been as good as it was, this place would've got 3 stars.

Best ribeye steak I've had here. So tender and juicy. Definitely recommmed. Skip the mash potato's though. Not made from Scratch. Steak was bomb. My friend had the porter house and really enjoyed that too. Also had live piano player, that was really nice too. Loved the ambience.

I am a sucker for mom and pop shops. First walking in was greeted at the front door. Then again checking in writ the host. I did not have a reservation and was able to be seated immediately on the enclosed outdoor patio overlooking the start of downtown Arkansas. Lighters are dimmed with a nice white drape over each table scarlet curtains. I would say affordable fancy. Music a bit strange. Live piano playing however they are playing modern music over the speakers kinda confusing. Maybe just a slight oversight for the moment. staff was friendly, I did feel a bit rushed to order. Food taste fresh well seasoned. I very much enjoy a good Ribeye and this did not disappoint with an eye opening 18 oz bone out or 25 oz bone in you can't go wrong. The place could use a bit of TLC but it's not a resort steak house again it is a mom and pop shop and I'm very much onboard with supporting your communities small businesses.
