Sonny Williams’ Steak Room, the popular River Market steakhouse, has been bought back by Andy Agar, who started the restaurant in 1999 and sold it in 2002.
Our sister publication, Arkansas Business, reports Agar closed the sale on Friday, Oct. 9, along with several investors whom he declined to name. He said that everything about the restaurant has remained the same over the 16 years, from the wait staff to the chefs to the decor and he wants to make a few changes.
Agar is making plans for updates and renovations to the building and since closing the sale, he has been meeting with designers, decorators and contractors.
Renovation plans include a new color scheme and new private dining rooms designed for corporate events or parties.
