    Steak bowl
    Skyy S.

    I have gone twice now and have loved the food here. When I went the first time, it was happy hour and they only had smaller bites but the steak bowl was amazing, it should be a main dish forever. When I went back for dinner time another night the ravioli and beef was out of this world. I don't know what sauce they use, but it was so good. The cornbread focaccia was OK. It didn't really have the cornbread flavor but still good to pair with my meal. Also, their drinks are 10 out of 10. Can't wait to come back and try different dishes.

    Grilled leeks
    Monica B.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. And I decided to go today after church, for a solo brunch. I am so glad I did! I sat at a little quaint table and the ambience and energy was everything! My server Steve had great suggestions and great customer service. I had the grilled leeks with crab and I had the Loco Moco with soft scrambled egg. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth. I really did a happy dance in my seat eating both dishes. I will definitely be back for happy hour and dinner. It is an awesome place for small group or solo outings.

    Beets

    Great service, decor, and vibe. Overall a great guest experience! Our first starter were free seasoned chips that were nice crunchy and flavorful. Then we had the Nashville hot oyersters. I didn't know it was possible to take the fishy-ness out of oysters but they figured out the formula be cause they were great! Then we had the meat pies which were basically deep fried pot roast no way to go wrong there. Our "salad" choice were the beets. Personally, my least favorite item we got as I thought they were bland and the cold mushy texture was not for me. I didn't like the crunch from the nuts though. Our entrees were the lamb and the burger. The lamb was gamier than I was expecting but had great flavor and overall was solid. The burger was outstanding and with the sauce and fries it was one of the better restaurant burgers that I've had. We also decided to try the brioche cornbread it was definitely unique but was more brioche bread than corn bread. We ended with the toffee cake which was not for me. It lacked depth and was more of an uninspired carrot cake than a toffee cake. I can see myself coming back to try more!

    I was slightly underwhelmed by Pillar. The atmosphere inside was very neat but the service was weak and the food was good but not amazing. We started off with the grilled leeks and beef tartare. The beef tartare was fantastic and the best item we had that night. The cook on the potatoes was excellent and the toppings were delicious. I have never had a dish like the leeks but also found it enjoyable. It is a very complex mix of flavors that go well together. I thought the fried chicken was going to be the star of the show but just didn't love it. The breading was ok on it and I didnt love the nduja sauce. Additionally, the corn bread brioche it came with was very dry. Overall, the starters were pretty solid at Pillar but the pricing, service, and entree makes me unlikely to come back.

    Breakfast platter
    Kenya R.

    It's a nice quaint wine restaurant. All the staff is very friendly. Stokes was our server as was another person. They took great care of us; they informed us about portion sizes and checked in on my food allergies. The food was good. I got the breakfast platter. I should have asked for my eggs scrambled hard because I can't do juicy scrambled eggs. The house made sausage was deliciously smoky. The bacon was bacon. The potatoes were crispy perfection. It comes with a small arugula salad (I hate arugula). So I don't know what that tasted like. The ricotta pancake was ricotta filled, not just mixed in with the batter. I also had a peachy keen. It's basically a peach mimosa. My husband really enjoyed the croast. I'll go back and try dinner.

    Happy hour menu

    I hate to give 3 stars because the food and drinks are delicious!!!! The watermelon hamachi is incredible. The tomato salad is so fresh. All the presentations are beautiful. The fries served with kimchi mayo are addicting. You can definitely tell it is Mot Hai Ba's sister from the attention to detail and the flavors. However there are just a few things that lowered my experience. - the drink service is incredibly slow. Expect 10-15 min to get a cocktail - we specifically booked our dinner res during happy hour to take advantage of the happy hour menu. No where did we see it advertised that happy hour is only at the bar and patio, so we didn't get to participate. There's even fliers in the bathroom advertising it with no mention of the bar and patio. - there were SO MANY FLIES at our table. One even went in my barely sipped cocktail - we ordered the po boy and while it was delicious the amount of oysters is not enough. I took two bites and had eaten all the oysters in one half of the sandwich, still had so much bread left.

    While I was on the fence after my first two visits, I have since been back for another dinner and brunch. The food is creative, unique and beautifully plated and the service makes it shine. Our server knew every aspect of the menu...both food and drinks...and took time to describe each dish and cocktail in detail. The olive and date starter, the meat pies, the crispy rice and the smoked trout dishes were standouts. At brunch, the avocado toast was amazing. Next time I'll try the hot oysters!

    A recent Brunch at Pillar didn't disappoint on our first visit. Server was timely and helpful, and our 3 dishes were great. Not to mention the French Press Coffee....

    Cranberry Parfait
    Suzanne C.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant on a busy Saturday night. Peter was so fun and gave great suggestions. The grilled leeks were definitely the star of the show. Comparing mussel portions to other restaurants in the area, this was on the smaller end, but very flavorful broth. We also ordered the ricotta cavatelli, chile relleno, meat pies and the cornbread brioche. Definitely would recommend and I want to come back and try other dishes on the menu.

    Nicoise salad
    LaToya A.

    Met a friend for brunch here one Sunday. It wasn't too busy and the waitstaff was attentive. I had the nicoise salad which was delicious, even without the dressing. My friend had a Benedict and she enjoyed it. Only thing I would love to see are more gluten free options.

    Fried Chicken with cornbread bun
    Abhinav K.

    Hidden gem in Bishop Arts! Loved the food, service, and overall vibe. Our server, Jose, was amazing and gave some great recommendations. Cocktails were all on point--favorites were Beginning of the End (espresso martini) and Open Gate. For apps, we had tuna carpaccio, beef tartare, and onion rings--surprisingly loved the raw dishes! Mains were lamb tortelli, fried chicken with cornbread brioche and honey butter (so flavorful), and Brussel sprouts--a total crowd-pleaser. Jose recommended the lasagna (chef special), and it was incredible. We finished with the perfect chocolate cake and lemon meringue tarte. Cake was moist, rich, not too sweet and tart was a perfect balance of bright, tangy citrus and sweet. Can't wait to go back!

    Visited Saturday Morning with friends- sadly they don't offer Brunch on Saturday mornings but there are a few items from the brunch menu. I got the biscuit and gravy- very tasty but the biscuits were a little hard sadly. But the staff and environment were both very nice! Overall enjoyed !

    Could not wait to make this review. I decided to do something different this morning in Bishop and I've been wanting to visit Pillar for dinner for a long time. It was worth the change, Mike was very personable from the moment I walked in until the moment I walked out. The entire staff was friendly even those who were not serving my table. I was alone and wanted to try the entire menu , everyone expressed that the ricotta pancakes were worth it, and so I went with the pillar breakfast plate that Included one pancake and I demolished every bite. The breakfast sausage was nothing I ever tasted and I had to recommend to someone nearby. The flavor in everything I tasted including the espresso martini... yes the espresso martini was heavenly. I would like to return frequently, they played a lot of my favorite music while I enjoyed my food which made the experience even more worth it. If you ever get a chance please go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner or all 3.

    Onion Rings-$14. Omg, that sauce!

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.

After waters were delivered, our drink order wasn't taken for at least 15-20 minutes after getting there.

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.

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.
