Mejores restaurantes franco-americanos contemporáneos en Downtown

My new favorite DFW gem! 🤍🤍🤍⚡️⚡️ Chef Logan and the GM Nick came by towards the end of our meal, and we had a lovely conversation. I adore this beautiful neighborhood spot; Bishop Arts is truly fortunate to have Pillar. I brought my friend from Houston for dinner, and we had a wonderful time! He expressed that he'd like the fried chicken and grilled leeks to be his last meal before he leaves earth!! Haha

The Valentine menu wasn’t all of that good wish it could’ve been better if I would have known that the full menu for the restaurant was available. But the service was good. Everything was good except for the food.

Food was very good. The salads were tasty and the hummus appetizer was great. The salmon was also very good. The main dining room wasn’t used so we were sitting in the bar area which was a little noisy but not too bad. One weird item was that we were initially asked to give our credit card at the beginning of the meal. This is a nicer hotel restaurant. That seems more like what a college bar would ask you to do.

When booking we didn’t realize the restaurant was in a hotel so walking in was a bit awkward, there’s no distinct entrance other than through a side door from the outside or through the lobby. There’s no hostess stand or anyone to seat you so you just find a spot and sit. Pros: Impressive wine list, I was surprised to see some of the more prestigious wines from Napa on there. Service, the manager got our wine right away and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made some great recommendations when asked. Food, came within 10 minutes of ordering and everything was the proper temperature. My one complaint here, some of the pieces of the baguette for the Burrata had a huge hole in it so it was difficult to get a bite from that one. Just a details thing that could have been prevented. But overall the flavors were great and everything was plated beautifully. Dining room was neat, clean and decorated nicely. Cons: Nobody to greet and seat. Ambience was a little off. It was really brightly lit but there’s probably not much they can control being a part of the hotel lobby. Overall I was impressed with Chef Han and his staff. This could easily be a stand alone restaurant and they would knock it out of the park. I think being in a hotel does the food a bit of a disservice, they weren’t as busy as they should have been on a Saturday night with how good the food was and the level of service. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back.

The atmosphere was great the hostess manager and surfing staff were outstanding, and the food was plentiful and very flavorful
