Nu' Cuisine Lounge

In early November my father in law drove up from St. Petersburg, Florida to visit. Well he wanted to go out for a nice dinner but I just arrived from Guam a month ago and was still acclimatizing myself to the area. There was nothing in Jacksonville to either of our liking so into Little Rock we ventured. After a view turns and passing numerous beer joints, there was Nu. Its huge windows drew us in from the streets as we waited at the traffic light on the corner. Ok, it was the decor and lovely ladies dining there at the time, but the decor was a very close second! We entered and were warmly greeted then seated. The menu intrigued and surprised me because it had been some time since I have been in a upscale restaurant. We ordered, received our meals and were absolutely pleased. Me more so than he because only a few days earlier we had a horrible experience at a franchise restaurant in NLR. Nu, was a wonderful experience. From the beautiful decor that summons you in from the streets, to the warm atmosphere and employees. The total experience was here at Nu and a definite return in the future when my eldest daughter returns to Little Rock for her birthday. Thank you. more

This is the hot new upscale restaurant in town. Nu is less than a year old and occupies the space formerly filled by Trios. The whole interior has been beautifully redone in white. The bar area is very modern in appearance. The food is artfully prepared and amazing. The portions are small as might be expected. Wine list is impressive. Reservations are an absolute necessity during busy weekends. Waited for 2 hours for a seat on Valentine's Day, but we had a great time in the bar and the food was very worth the wait. Large private room in back is big enough to accomodate several dozen and has another bar. more
