Overall, this place is terribly cute. Loved the layout and design. Their patio area was so nice…read more Away from noise but still connected to the restaurant. For our apps, we got the burrata which was pretty good but I didn't like the vessel it was served in. Hard to cut it up or have it ooze. We also got the bread which had great flavor but should have had some kind of spread with it. For dinner, he got the strozzapetti, which had great flavor to the pasta and sausage, but the greens were exceptionally bitter. We couldn't eat it. There was so much of it that it was overwhelming and we picked around it. I got the agnolotti which was amazing and unlike his dinner, my kale was soooooo good. Really well balanced dish. Service was well done. I would like to come back but wish they had more pasta options.

You can really tell there's creativity and thought put into every plate--it's not just good food, it's a full experience. Their menu occasionally changes, however you cannot go wrong with any dish. The ambience was wonderful, with a relaxed, inviting vibe and soft background music that enhanced the dining experience without ever being too loud. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely love to come back and try more, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and flavorful. Here's a list of the items we tried (and loved!), which was plenty of food for a group of four (Pictures are labeled for reference): - Nashville Hot Oysters - Tuna Tartare -Mussels -Grilled Leeks -Ricotta Cavatelli -Grilled Olives -Cornbread Brioche -Ribeye -Smoked Trout -Chocolate Cake -Lavender Pannacotta

Pillar confuses me. On our first visit, we loved it SO much. Highlights:…read more 1) The sake martini with a blend of three gins? Mind blowing. 2) The yellowtail crudo with champagne dressing and blackberries? Light, refreshing, and yet hearty at the same time. 3) The fried chicken? Definitely exceeded my expectations. How fried chicken can be this delicious is beyond me. 4) Crispy brown butter rice? I mean, how can you go wrong? On our second visit, it was a major letdown: 1) That mind-blowing sake martini? NO LONGER ON THE MENU. SOB. 2) Would you like one of these other cocktails? SIKE, we're out of ingredients for about half of them. Yes, at 7 pm on a Saturday evening. ...deep sigh... ...okay, but the food...surely the food is still good...right...?...well.... 3) The yellowtail crudo? Somehow...not as impressive this time around... 4) The fried chicken? Also a little bit of a letdown this time around. Just...not as memorable or awesome. I don't think this was just us missing our sake martini, because our dining companions were new to Pillar and also felt the fried chicken was a little underwhelming. We love, love, love Mot Hai Ba (same chef). It is consistent perfection every time. Pillar just falls a bit short of expectations. The food is solid, but the consistency wasn't there across our two visits. If we had started with the second experience, we probably wouldn't have come back (much less encouraged friends to join us). And after the second experience, we haven't really wanted to go back. The ambiance is fine. It's a shotgun of a restaurant, and the awkward booths in the middle are, well, awkward. That said, I love that it doesn't feel so perfectly curated as the Duro or Vandelay restaurants. There's something a bit more homey to this place, and that's refreshing. I really do miss that martini something fierce...if anyone out there knows the secret ingredients, would you please send me the recipe?? I know there are a million sake martinis in the world, but something about that gin blend was just magical.

Seasonal food, guaranteed delicious…read more Sourdough bread with vinaigrette was not good - it was probably sitting there for awhile. Had a hard time chewing the outer crust. Beetarita was good, lots of vegetable and fruit flavors. Pork belly was solid, very tender and super easy to stretch - how meat should be. The vegetables were a nice add-on. Grilled salmon fattoush was great - yogurt sumac was a solid touch to mix with the sweet peppers/cucumber and gave a great contrast to the savory, crispy salmon. The crispy layer on the salmon was seared so nicely. And the best dish - the peach cobbler (summer season) was super delicious. Loved how well made this was! A special shout-out to the homemade crispy flat bread in the salmon fattoush! And our server was super amicable, the vibes were warm, elegant, farm-to-table.

Stock and Barrel is a lovely restaurant nestled right in the heart of BA District designed with a…read moregastro industrial aesthetic and an unpretentious vibe. Our server was very welcoming and kind and represented the restaurant with a lot of pride and praise. I just want to state that when prices for food and drinks are this high, I am going to be far more critical because I expect the food and experience to match the value. Below is a reflection of this and why I gave it 4 stars. We unknowingly arrived during their Happy Hour which was great because we got to enjoy some of their signature shareables at a nicer price. However, when they arrived, we were also told that the portion served was smaller because it was their Happy Hour. I would have been just fine never knowing that. Also, we were introduced to their snack specials before initially ordering as a small bite of food to enjoy while deciding what to eat. We were told it was best served one per person, so we ordered two of their Tartare on their Potato Tot, one for each of us. We also ordered their Happy Hour Whipped Feta and Ribeye Cigar Wraps. The shareables came out pretty quickly so we tucked into them. I want to be very clear when I say these were both absolutely delicious. The Whipped Feta was textural bliss and their toasted sourdough added to the experience. Wrapping the Ribeye Cigar in a lettuce leaf topped with their chimichurri was a heavenly bite if there ever was one. About 15 minutes later, just one of the Tartare Tots came out. We first were like, well too late for the snacking while deciding experience part of this and also weren't sure if we should wait for the other one. We just chalked it up as she didn't hear that we asked for two or the kitchen forgot. So we shared it and honestly, it too was absolutely amazing. Deeply flavorful tartare with the perfect crunchy salty bite of the tot hit the expectation right on the head. It was right about this time we got our second round of drinks. Her watermelon cocktail was honestly not enjoyable due to the lack of watermelon flavor in the drink, but it was nicely garnished with a pretty watermelon ice cube. Someone brought me a drink which wasn't what I ordered. I didn't mind, it was the other drink I was going to order so rather than make a fuss, I accepted it and it was nice. Our server noticed the mistake and tried to correct it. I let her know it was ok and I was enjoying this one. My wife ordered the Wagyu Meatballs and Charred Green Beans for her entree and I ordered the Crab Fried Spaghetti. Again, all were delicious. Excellent crunchy texture on the green beans, super tender and lucious meatballs, and my fried spaghetti had some char on the noodles, a nice hit of heat and spice, and the crab was cooked perfectly. The only problem was, her items were cold and my pasta was barely warm. We were running late for an event so we didn't have the capacity to mention it. Too bad though, served at the right temp, I'm sure both would have been knockouts. Also, I think we are done with 18 dollar drinks as a concept. Seems to be becoming a norm as of late and yea, the drinks were ok to good, but I don't know, it just seems egregious to me. But the food was exceptional and the service was polite and kind, despite the missteps. We'd probably come back and explore more their interesting and eclectic menu.

My husband and I started off by splitting the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket which were good but I wouldn't order again. It just didn't seem to be anything over the top special so I would rather order something else as an app. My husband ordered the fried chicken and I got the Crispy Chicken Katsu. Both were delicious and I would definitely recommend trying both! The Katsu came with a spicy mayo that made the sandwich perfect! The fried chicken is massive so definitely share that or go home with left overs. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I rarely leave reviews but I think constructive criticism is necessary. The inattentiveness of the…read morestaff was the worst I may have ever seen. After waters were delivered, our drink order wasn't taken for at least 15-20 minutes after getting there. We placed our drink order and then waited, and waited, and waited for our first round of drinks to come. At one point I made the joke that I should be on my second drink by now(this turned into a joke about how I should be on my third). When the drinks finally came, everyone but mine was delivered, the waitress said that she was running back up to grab mine. She came back with my drink 10 minutes later. At this point we just placed our orders for food and I decided to place my next drink order at this point to help with the wait time. The waitress came back with the appetizer and I actually placed another drink order as well before my second drink came because I wanted to stay ahead of the game. 2nd and 3rd drinks actually came at a reasonable time and I started feeling like the night was turning around. Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. Entrees were delivered and surprise surprise, the food that was ordered with mine was delivered but mine was not. Waited for another long period of time and then my food was delivered. Was an apology of any sort ever given, no. Our waitress came to check back on the table very sparingly to the point we were waiting to place a dessert order so long we decided to take it to go. Ordered the monkey bread, got back to eat it and all the dough was raw. $200 bill between food and drinks for my wife and I and an appetizer for the table(there were others and other bills as well), still tipped 20% but there I would never recommend this restaurant for the service or the food. Great atmosphere great views. Service doesn't match the vibe.

The Bowen House I…read moreabsolutely loved the historic feel of The Bowen House. It's not a very large bar, but I think the intimate size adds to its warmth and charm. The staff was very welcoming, and the other guests I encountered were friendly and sociable. The drinks were excellent. On my first visit, I had the Hugo Spritz, which was mixed to perfection. During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

The rustic decor and music are top-notch, it feels elevated. Parking is in the garage downstairs and a short elevator ride up helps you avoid the inclement weather outside. Verdict: fantastic!
