2009 CitiScapes BEST of NWA Awards

Best Overall Restaurant
Born from the founder's love of travel, fine food and wine, Bordinos was created more than a decade ago by local restauranteur Joe Fennel. Having prospered for years at another Dickson Street location, the fine dining establishment moved in 2004 to its current (and uber-chic) 6,500 square-foot home at the corner of Dickson and Campbell. Today, Fennel and co-owner Chef Chrissy Sanderson have taken Bordinos to a new level - the restaurant would just as easily be at home in New York City or Los Angeles. From lasagnas and pastas to fresh meats and seafood, and seasonal local produce, Chef Chrissy's menu includes many exciting dishes. The focus here is on quality and creativity, and both owners are quick to point out the requisite factors for success in the restaurant business: quality, value, service, consistency and choice. And, as their place in this very readers' poll will attest, it is apparent that Bordinos embraces those edicts both handily and with style.

Many thanks to all of our wonderful patrons.

2004 Northwest Arkansas Menu Guide

There is a place out there where everyone really does know your name, where every night is like a party and the hostesses' desire is only to indulge you. The place is Bordinos. Let Chef Chrissy Sanderson and Manager/Sommelier Angela Stem welcome you to a world of harmony and partnership. A unique restaurant that balances upscale dining with an intimate and communal atmosphere. A place where the partnership of food, flavor and people come together with passionate results...a symphony of decadent gourmet food, unbeatable service and a wine list that will please any connoisseur. What is this magic? Chef Sanderson explains, "the foundation of Bordinos is the traditions that have made it successful for the last seven years. Our vision is to continue to introduce new influences from other cultures." A delicious example of this is the Italian Style Crab Cake served with a French lemon beurre blanc. Oui! Subtle introductions of international cultures make Bordinos the place for world cuisine for now and for the future.
