The opening celebration of Junto Sushi and Bar Kapu was an evening of flavorful diversity. Located within the new and highly anticipated Motto Hotel in Downtown Bentonville, the refreshing additions were received with eager eyes and curious taste buds. While touring the new dining, lounge, and hospitality spaces, guests were treated to samplings from Junto and Bar Kapu’s dynamic menus along with signature cocktail and mocktail selections.
Flowing left of Motto’s lobby entrance, Junto exudes a casual elegance perfect for an evening near the square. The restaurant’s open concept allows guests to enjoy views of the sushi bar while its organic furnishings and dim lighting set the tone for an intimate dining experience. At Junto, guests can expect seasonal small plates, traditional sushi, and specialties from renowned Chef Masa Hamaya.
Where Junto’s sharp style complements its complex tastes, Bar Kapu’s vibrant personality matches its invigorating flavors. The tiki concept is thoughtfully executed featuring tropical colors and textures, while the infectious energy of its staff pairs perfectly with its staycation ambiance. Complete with an indoor-outdoor space designed for sipping in the sun or under the stars, Bar Kapu, visitors can expect to enjoy tropical drinks with a modern twist and drinkware worthy of its own Instagram account.
As Bentonville grows to accommodate new tastes, Junto Sushi and Bar Kapu join a community of eateries and gathering places setting top-tier standards for the future - one which celebrates individuality, demands quality, and prioritizes experience.
