About the restaurant

Inspired by Ernest Hemingway and named for his beloved boat, Pilar is a neighborhood restaurant that has been a mainstay of 14th street for over a decade. Executive Chef Clarissa Aguilar helms the kitchen turning out an eclectic menu inspired by local farms and New American cuisine with a focus on seasonal organic produce. The simple yet inventive dishes change frequently, but that’s part of the adventure! Complementing the cooking is a beverage program including cocktails which also rotate seasonally, ranging in taste and complexity from classics like the perfect Old Fashioned to signature concoctions using house made tonics and elixirs. Spanning two floors, Pilar has a variety of spaces to suit your mood. Our first floor bar offers up a casual, comfortable space to down a few drinks in dimly-lit, vintage-inspired surroundings. Head upstairs and you'll find an intimate dining room along with a cozy corner cocktail bar perfect for date night or catching up with old friends.

It's a nice place but I'm never impressed with the food. I've been there for brunch, lunch, and for dinner but I'm never impressed. I went months in between visits still no improvement. Most recently I had the Cajun pasta the chicken was so dry with no taste and the sausage was overcooked. The sauce was good though. My drink was good. They definitely make good drinks so maybe I'll stick to that if I have to go back.

Tuesday is a “off” day at Goodstone and food is served in the Bistro. Fare is casual and certainly not of the quality of the main dining room. I’m assuming it’s the back up kitchen crew. The atmosphere is delightful, service attentive. Plenty of staff on hand they just need to work on a consistent menu.
