This is always a 10/10 for us! Our waitress was a doll, good was top notch, and drinks were top shelf! If you have never been, make a reservation and order the veal chop!

Had a great experience. I sat at the bar, and was warmly greeted by the owner and bartender. Michelle (bartender) gave me her full attention when I had questions and help me decide what to eat. The amuse bouche was tasty and like nothing I've ever experienced before. The duck bombs appetizer were amazing as always (if just a little spicier than i was expecting), followed by an earthy/savory duck and sausage gumbo over rice. Then came the main course of seared bluefin tuna cooked to an impressive medium rare, on a small bed of bok choy. Lastly, I couldn't pass on the light but powerfully flavored tiramisu (recently added to the menu), for desert. And as a little accompaniment to the check, was a mini macaron. Overall great experience as always.

16OZ Wagyu for $100 on Sundays was amazing Made a reservation and the staff was extremely welcoming and all took the time out to say Happy Birthday even if they weren’t attending our table. Great experience for both me & my girlfriend. My servers Joseph and Dante were extremely professional and made the experience so much better. Would come again!

We dined at White Pillars to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything we ordered was terrific! Specifics won't help much, since most of the menu turns over very regularly, but the kitchen team's execution was perfect and the combinations of ingredients made for great flavors. Our server, Chris, guided us through the menu with detailed explanations and recommendations, and took great care of us from beginning to end. He went out of his way to add a few special touches to make our night more memorable, too. Highly recommend!
