Description: “I have discovered that there is romance in food when romance has disappeared from everywhere else.” —Ernest Hemingway. Papa would have found it in this namesake restaurant: alligator tail appetizer (one among many), steaks, and seafood (including Ozark Mountain trout), a variety of pasta dishes from “Pastabilities,” and salads (the Hemingway Caesar salad is locally famous). There is a great selection of laureate sandwiches from “Between the Breads,” and Hemingway’s is famous for its buffet: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Your favorite drink can come from Hemingway’s bar. And check out that huge aquarium as part of the back-bar decor. You can spend hours relaxing and lowering your blood pressure!
