Hemingway's Restaurant & Bar Pilar

Staying at the Holiday Inn which this restaurant was connected to and decided to try this place out. Holiday Inn gave us coupon to use for this restaurant which was nice. The food was very good considering we ordered take out. Ordered out and ate dinner by the beach which was very nice. Definitely try this place out if you’re in the area.

We were walking along the boardwalk to see what to get for dinner. We looked over the menu and then continued up toward neptune statue. We decided to give Hemingways a try as the meals sounded tasty. We arrived around 6 and walked in noticing how clean the restaurant and hotel lobby looked, we were greated by the hostess and brought over to a table in the bar area by the windows. The bar tender Erica was our attendant. We had a really nice time talking to the staff, Erica was alot of fun while also knowledgeable about the drinks that they could offer. I had a great salmon dinner and my wife enjoyed her meal of black bean burger. I got to have some of the fries from her plate later in the meal and although they had been sitting on our table and went warm anymore, I was impressed at how good they were cold. I can only imagine if they were hot like she recieved them. I don't know why we have never ate here in the years past, but if it continues to be the way this night was we will be enjoying more meals here.

Really good food. Fair prices. I have eaten here 2 days in a row so far. I had the bourbon chicken flatbread and the fish tacos. Both were pretty good. If I had any critique, the fish tacos didn't have a lot of flavor outside of the fried fish and tortilla themselves. However, it is early May, so the fruit (mango, I think?) is probably just not in season; it was firm and crunchy. Over all, I'd still definitely eat here again. The bartenders have all been very kind, attentive, and friendly. I saw dolphins off the back patio today at lunch. Yesterday, I saw a few blackhawks flying over the water and a naval ship pretty close by. Cool environment!

We needed food and were on the lookout for a good mojito so we landed here with absolutely no regrets. Great view and Paige helped us add a memory to our vacation with perfect mojitos. I had the Boardwalk Tacos with fried shrimp and they were the best shrimp Tacos I've had. My friend's burger looked amazing too!

Very nice place with a nice view. Very good food as well. Delicious grilled shrimp tacos, the best I’ve had in a while. Fish burger was good as well, and the fries were also delicious. I’m usually not a dessert person, but the key lime cheesecake was really good. They also have a great drinks selection. The staff was very sweet and friendly as well.

This restaurant was a solid 4 stars. The ambiance was lovely (there were no tables available outside because they only have a few, so we had to sit inside), but we didn't mind. The frozen drinks were tasty, our waitress was lovely, and the peanut butter dessert was one of the best we've ever had. For dinner I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos. I was expecting more for a $17 entree. It came with 3 soft tacos, each stuffed with only (I believe) 4 small pieces of shrimp (aside from mango and veg). No side of rice or anything to go with it. Tasted fine, but couldn't really justify the price. Spouse ordered a burger and seemed to enjoy it.

The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. We ordered 2 pizzas one cheese and one bourbon chicken. We each loved our own pizza, the bourbon chicken pizza was literally like taking a shot! Not for me but my boyfriend liked it which is so funny. We also got a piece of peanut butter pie to share and that was a MUST! We wanted to get another piece before we left but talked ourselves out of it only for both of us to mention it way later in the day. The peanut butter pie is something you can’t pass up. It’s a skinny piece but it’s very rich and sweet so to share with someone was fine. There is no parking on site but there is a parking lot behind the building across the street where you can pay $15 to park.

Very clean and well kept restaurant in Holiday Inn Oceanside 21st. St. Excellent breakfast buffet with a lot of choices including freshly baked croissants, bread, and scones. Warm and tasty eggs, waffles, chicken biscuits. Thick cut crispy bacon and breakfast potatoes make a great side. Fresh fruit, cereals, muffins, bagels,and pastries. Very courteous and attentive staff. This is my first stop every morning during my stay. Highly recommended! Price of buffet is $17 and change after tax.
