    We celebrated a birthday and had a total of 12 people. Service was great as always even with the new owner. Seen some familiar faces still which was nice. I was disappointed there was no longer a piano player, that always added a nice touch. Food was great and steaks were cooked perfectly. At Sonny Williams you never leave hungry or unsatisfied with your experience. We will continue to choose this restaurant for our family’s special occasions. Thanks again guys!

    My wife and I celebrated my birthday at Table 28. The entire experience was top notch. Sat at the bar before moving to our table. The bartender was very friendly and prepared us some excellent cocktails including their onsite barrel-aged Old Fashioned which is truly unbeatable. We then moved over to our reserved table and enjoyed an excellent dinner including the grilled octopus (apetizer), redfish almondine, and Iberico pork chops. We felt like it was one of the best meals we had ever enjoyed at a Little Rock restaurant. Kudos to the chef(s) and the entire staff. Well done!
