    love the atmosphere at bar 42. But I feel the food quality has declined. A very limited menu. My husbands club sandwich was not very exciting, to say the least. I requested med rare salmon on my salad, it had to be sent back. The cook obviously does not know med rare salmon. the food has always been exceptional in the past. I know times are tuff, but expect better.

    We were in town for the weekend and had brunch on our last day there. It was the perfect end to a perfect weekend. We even got to meet the mayor of Little Rock. I must admit we didn’t know at the time so we had to google him when we left.
