Dining at Gaston’s isn’t just a meal — it’s a moment.
Perched above the banks of the White River, Gaston’s award-winning restaurant blends breathtaking views, warm hospitality and elevated comfort food into a dining experience that keeps guests coming back, year after year.
Inside the cozy, cabin-style dining room — wrapped in glass to showcase the river’s natural beauty — you’ll savor dishes crafted by Executive Chef Rick Gollinger, a Mountain Home native whose renowned culinary chops bring refined flavor to rustic favorites. From hand-cut steaks and pan-seared trout to smoked rainbow trout, trout poppers and house-made classics, every plate is a nod to both tradition and innovation.
For a truly memorable experience, try the signature “you catch 'em, we cook 'em” option — your freshly caught trout, expertly prepared by the kitchen.
