Theo's - Fayetteville

We have been here countless times since it has been an establishment. This visit was disappointing. Overcooked food and skimping on the portion sizes for the price.

This was disappointing. I really enjoyed the steak tartare, but the crostini was toasted way too much. The waitress brought us extra crostini for the tartare that was toasted perfectly; when I asked why it was different from the crostini before, and better, and if this was intentional, I was told the bread was probably extra toasted because of where the toaster is located in the kitchen, so basically a non-answer -- the chefs should be able to do something as simple as toasting bread and refuse to send out hard, cardboard-tasting bread. Quality checks, people. But the tartare was good; I really appreciated the kimchi element. Two stars for tartare. The rest of the food was horrible. My lamb pappardelle was mid; not bad, not good. I didn't finish it, and ended up feeding most of the food to my dog. The bone-in rib, though, was terrible. The glaze was too much is all I can say, pungent, and none of the elements of the dish fit together; even the neutrality of the mashed potatoes could not balance the dish. The dish would benefit from being more subtle. The duck was not worth it at all, lacking flavor and intention. It nowhere near compares to the roasted duck you can order at a Chinese deli at a fraction of the cost, especially when the Asian roasted duck sits under a lamp light all day. If you are looking for fine-dining in Fayetteville, Arkansas, I highly recommend Eclectic Kitchen. The building's shoddy, unassuming, and their roof banner might be falling off & it's been that way for months, but their food hasn't. Edit: updated to three stars to reflect the great response taking accountability. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to eat there again, but thank you Mr. Gabbard.
