White Pillars Restaurant and Lounge

When your somm best friend of over 30 years recommends a restaurant, you listen. Chef Sumrall is doing amazing things at this place. Everything from the drunk/cocktail program, ever-changing menu with fresh, local ingredients, to the chic interior with a view to the well-designed kitchen is evidence to mindful design and functionality. Grabbing a cocktail in the lounge while we waited for our friends to arrive was a delightful experience; it gave us the opportunity to enjoy the lounge before being seated in the main dining room. There are several rooms within the restaurant,with some being set aside for private dining and or meeting rooms. The drinks were exceptionally made. I was pleased tonsee that they have several options of barrel select and craft brand liquors. A paper airplane made with K.LUKE was one of the best cocktails I've had. The food was delicious and so fresh. Watching it be prepared on the massive custom Boos board/prep table was quite the show. The beef tartar with bone marrow and the oysters were delicious. For dinner, pompano was a great choice, but the soft shell crabs were the star: I've not had better. Dessert included a nanner pudding ice cream that was the perfect end to the meal. Making everything in house and the quality of the ingredients was noticeable. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for an exceptional evening. I can't wait to return.

Another amazing meal at White Pillars!! The bone marrow and steak tartar & eggplant appetizers were out of this world! Murder point oysters were small, but just how we like them. The bone marrow burger is always fantastic but the star was the swordfish schnitzel!!!!! OMG it was so delicious. Run to get this while it’s on the menu!!!

Sometimes you're just limited to five stars even when the restaurant should have 7 or 8. This is one of those restaurants. Each part of this event, and it truly is an event to eat here, was served very well by our waiter Chris. At this restaurant, you don't just have steak, you have a steak paired with special vegetables and side dishes that are mixed and mingled together. Who could believe that brussel sprouts could be prepared so well with other vegetables and seasonings that were amazing as a side dish to the main entree. We were there for an anniversary celebration and all four of us ordered appetizers such as steak tartare or a fish tartare. They also had terrific wine and liquor and beer selections including some non-alcohol. I enjoyed a swordfish schnitzel with a type of German mashed potatoes that was excellent as my entree. The chef stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our liking in addition to our waiter. Nothing about the entrees that we had, the appetizers we enjoyed or the side dishes that were selected to go with the entree were ordinary. All of them were masterfully created for an excellent meal. Even the menus were created special for us, saying happy anniversary at the top. The facility itself is nicely laid out with separate rooms for special occasions, some more private than others. All of the service was excellent. You could say that this restaurant is for special occasions but it is a nice place I think just to stop by after work for a relaxing beverage with a friend or coworker. And actually for the quality of food that we received it was surprisingly reasonable pricing. I've eaten and reviewed a lot of very nice restaurants, but not many had this quality of food. You have to weigh the quality and the price and the atmosphere and the service you receive. In my opinion, this restaurant is in the top on all categories and is an excellent value. If you want a culinary treat, this is the place to go.

The 3 course Valentine’s Day menu was delicious. Both steaks were tender and seasoned well. The oysters were my favorite part about this meal. Breaded was not too thick and tasted fresh. Not pictured - brioche king cake 😮‍💨 So good!

Such an amazing dining experience from the cocktails, food, service, and atmosphere. We loved our apps, the Thai wedge salad and the steak tartare. Our entrees were perfect as well, duck confit & the fried chicken. Can’t wait to go back, it was SO hard to choose what to order, everything sounded great.

The piano was a bit too loud...like we literally had to scream at eachother when talking. Our waitress could have been a bit more responsive to our whole table not just one end of it

Delicious, thoughtfully crafted dishes in a beautiful space. The Seafood Tower is an oyster/crudo seafood lover’s dream. My husband and I had a fantastic meal here, and that “Sweet Heat” cocktail was just perfection. Thanks for the wonderful experience

I had to take a moment or two to let everyone know about this amazing restaurant on the coast! We have eaten there a number of times and loved the food, atmosphere and entire experience. But a few months ago, we held my daughter’s baby shower there. It was an especially important thing for her because she had wanted a baby for so long and had experienced several heartbreaking miscarriages due to a blood clotting factor she didn’t know she had until she went to a high-risk OB who quickly discovered it and treated her for that resulting in a successful pregnancy. We were over the moon, and wanted this to be extra special. The owners and staff could not have made it more so! They reserved a beautiful room to accommodate our large number of guests and Chef Sumrall created a special menu, with several options that included something for every palate, including a vegetarian option, and amazing dessert. The waiters and waitresses were extremely attentive and took time to explain the menu and ask for any special needs or allergies, then took a moment with each of those folks to be sure their order was just right. The food was divine, and my daughter was just ecstatic with the day. I know she will always remember it as one of the most special moments about this time of her life. I am so thankful to everyone who was part of making it a wonderful beautiful day for her. We had 34 guests and every single one enjoyed their experience and we stayed for what seemed like hours, but were never rushed or hurried. If you’re looking for something extra special, or if you just want a wonderful, delicious dining experience, make a reservation and go to the White Pillars. There is no place on the coast that offers this level of elegance and charm while still giving you the feeling that you are the most important table in the restaurant. It’s beautiful, classic and the food is so delicious. Nothing comes close!

This was incredible. Best restaurant on the coast in my opinion! We got the crab ragoon ravioli and oysters for appetizer. Everything is homemade, farm to table! The fish was the best I've ever had in my LIFE!!!!

Just a fantastic experience. We had Thanksgiving dinner here, and while nothing matches a home-cooked Thanksgiving, this was a good second option. Our server was so helpful and kind, and offered great suggestions. This place is farm-to-table, and you could tell. Everything was crafted with care, and there was a great attention to detail. I had the "crab rangoon" ravioli for an appetizer, and it was DIVINE. Seriously, I wanted to drink the sauce (don't worry, I restrained myself). It was so interesting to have a Thai-style broth appetizer for Thanksgiving, haha. I wish this would have been my entree, honestly. I could have eaten double the amount. I had the duck confit for my entree, and it was very well-made, but it just wasn't my favorite preparation of duck I've ever had with the sauces chosen. My dessert was a satsuma flourless chocolate cake, which was good, but I am not the hugest fan of orange/chocolate combos. I should have known better, but I have never turned down a flourless chocolate cake in my life. The pear galette that other family members had was far better (despite my normal aversion to fruit desserts). The only drawback is that since we were such a large party, the dinner service took a very long time, and we had to ask for a few items that they forgot to bring. We were also a bit cold sitting by the windows on a chilly night. That said, it was a wonderful experience overall and I would recommend this place to anyone!

What a beautiful experience! We arrived a little bit early for our reservation so we waited in the bar and I had one of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had. When our table was ready we were seated near the window which lets you see the kitchen. Having a restaurant background, I enjoyed that. Our server was just wonderful, warm and cheerful. We had the seafood tower along with the crab rangoon ravioli and the Brussels sprouts. For dessert we had the derby pie. Every bite was a delight. We were very casually dressed and nobody cared but I felt a little bit underdressed.

The service at White Pillars was so fantastic we had to come back again the very next day! Our server Justin (along with the outstanding support staff) made our trip here wonderful. The food was outstanding both the first and second time we came here. Thank you again Justin!

This is my second time at White Pillars and I wanted to give a solid 4 stars, but unfortunately I couldn't get there. Let's talk about the positives first: The ambiance was lovely, our server Michael really turned it around for us after having a terrible experience waiting for a table. He was attentive and kind. The food was great also, from what's pictured below our tables favorite was the brussel sprouts. Our steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful, no complaints there. I had a dinner reservation for 7:30 for 2 and arrived at 7:15, at that point in time the hostess had approached us and told us they are cleaning our table and it will be 5 minutes. Ok with me, well, 15, 20 minutes passed by and we haven't been sat. At this time it's 7:40, we asked again, what was going on in the table. She noted that we are still waiting for the main dining area to be available, my thought okay so we can sit at the bar (as there were free spots also). We waited at the bar for approximately 15 minutes and then she said our table was ready, but here I am still waiting for drinks. We had to wait for our drinks again to be sat. At this point in time it has been from 7:15 being told our table was ready to sitting down at 8. My expectations aren't to be sat immediately as I know it's a busy evening but please don't tell your guests 5 minutes when it ended up being 45 minutes. Hope this review will prompt some changes on accommodating guests and better timing of the flow. Sure, the food is good but I don't think waiting for a table for 45 minutes is the guest experience you're shooting for specifically if you're operating in a reservation basis on open table.

Once again a 10/10 experience! Food and service are always top notch! Every bite was amazing! The service is always great but I highly recommend Anthony! You can make reservations and I would add asking for him as a server. He made the experience that much nicer! The menu is ever changing so don't get sold on a certain item but we've eaten here for years and never had a bad bite!

I can use all the languages of "fantastic" to say how amazing this place is. From the delightful bread to surprise of food creation, the experience is nothing short of "perfect-o." I am well-traveled and to find this delightfulness right here in my backyard is too good to be true. Chef and team, my gratitude!

I can't rave enough about this beautiful place! We hosted a baby shower there on a Sunday recently. We had 34 people, with 3 servers assigned and those kids were fabulous! No one ever had an empty glass for more than a moment, Chef Sumrall prepared amazing food and my daughter was treated like the most important VIP to ever visit there. All of this and since this mom picked up the tab I'm also very thankful we got a great special menu with 2 courses and amazing dessert choices for a very fair price. Thank you Tresse and Austin for the wonderful experience. When my daughter text me later that day to say "thanks mom! Everything was perfect!" That was all I needed to hear! Id give them 100 stars if I could!

Ok let's start with Anthony!! His service and knowledge were top notch mixed with a friendly accommodating personality that I wish all service industry members had! We knew exactly what we were getting and more. He was highly recommended and I know why now. Now our meals.... From start to finish, this fine dining farm to table experience was superb. My Only complaint was i couldn't finish my meal but no worries it wasn't wasted. We started off with a salad and steak tartar that the 4 of us shared and they were Devine. Then onto dinner. Two of us had the smoked fried chicken on top of creamy grits and collards which were an all out southern decadent dish!! The Mahi mahi dish had by the other two at table was raved upon as well and I'm sorry I didn't snag a taste. Maybe next trip. We finished off the meal with a chocolate flourless cake that was a hit. I could of started the evening with that and saved the spicy marg for dessert. We were some happy campers and enjoyed everything. Can't wait to visit again soon on our next trip in from Louisiana to the MS coast.

A must visit. I had the most tender pork chop I have ever had in my lifetime. The ambiance is delightful. We were there in December so it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Good wine selection and the Chef came out to check on us which is always the icing on every experience.

The best bartender in the business... One of the best bars actually in the United States. If you can believe that... Even though the food is being prepared by what looks like a dozen chefs back there who are doing absolutely nothing... Was not too bad... I truly believe that menus need to be seasonal and White pillars could've gotten five stars. If only they just reinvent the menu according to the season and what is locally available according to that specific season... Seafood, of course being the center point to any restaurant menu in this vicinity... You can see there is Drive in the kitchen. Perhaps the staff needs to have competitions once a week for who can come up with the quickest most delicious dish to put on the menu. Just a suggestion, bravo white pillars well done you're almost there. .

The food is great. The service is too. The ambiance is great. Negatives- it's overpriced for small portions. There are competitive high end restaurants that serve the patrons more food. Three bites of an appetizer just isn't enough. Etc. so that is my complaint. The temperature is usually chilly and need to make the portions. Larger to charge the large amount they do.

We ate last night for dinner. The only positives of the night were the ambience and the drinks. The negatives were the service (server was nonexistent), we waited for an hour and a half for our food (we ordered only 4 entrees), the chicken was undercooked, the fish was very fishy and salty and pretty much inedible, and the flatbread was doughy, therefore it feel apart when you picked it up. The waiter never asked how our food was considering he never came to our table except maybe 3 times. We had asked for a quick picture and they told us we would get a special picture in the end. Turns out the picture looks like it was screenshotted from a surveillance camera. Our server never asked if we would like dessert, even though it was my grandmother's 81st birthday (which he knew). We also had to stack our dirty plates at the end of the table from our appetizer (he continued to walk past them without grabbing). We just expected more out of a nice restaurant and for price. We didn't even get an explanation for why the food was taking an hour and a half (he did not come to our table once during this time). Wish we could have given this restaurant a higher rating. Sadly we will not be back.

The food was excell3nt and our server was awsome. The atmosphere was indulging there was piano playing oldies and goodies.

Surrounded by a sea of mediocre casino places, White Pillars is a GEM! We dipped in on a Saturday night around 8 just for a drink. We decided to sit at the bar. There were people but it wasn't packed at all. The bar is beautiful. A great vibe. That's true of the whole restaurant. Husband had the sazerac. The bartender said they make the best (bartenders always say that), but this truly was the best I'd ever had (and I'm proud to say my drinking resume is quite extensive ). Husband also had a mint julep that he loved. I had 2 craft cocktails - one the campfire something, which was a scotch cocktail. It was great!! Also, it comes with a homemade marshmallow, and idk where that thing had been all my life but it was phenom! I wish they just sold them by the bowl. I also had another smoky drink. Also wonderful! Truly a great bar program here. If you're looking for great classic and inventive craft cocktails in Biloxi, this is your place. We ultimately decided to have dinner. We had the mushroom flatbread, Mac and cheese, and derby pie. Everything was AMAZING!! The mushroom flatbread was a good size even for an entree if you aren't famished. The Mac and cheese was out of this world. It's garnished with fried chicken skin, so it's basically a heart attack in a bowl. But man was it tasty. The derby pie was recommended. It's definitely shareable and is cooked in a cast iron skillet. It was very good. Overall, Im a huge fan. If I lived here, I'd be a regular. It's a highlight of our trip. Whether a tourist or a local, don't miss this place. It's everything you want in a restaurant. If someone from the restaurant is reading this, please send marshmallows!

It's been a long time since we've been to the White Pillars and we had an AMAZING Sunday Brunch. Everything was fabulous!!!! Everything about this place is perfect, the beach view, the food and the service!!

I've been here twice in two years when visiting and both time were excellent! Atmosphere is perfect for connecting with others over food. Of course the company we had was second to none. The food was SO delicious! We ordered from a set menu that was a 3-course meal and it did not disappoint! The swordfish, chicken and grits, and steak were loved by all. Soups and salads were superb, and the desserts were delightful. Caleb took care of us and was such a professional, he rocks! Let me not forget the drinks...try the old fashioned and French 75.

We did the wine pairing dinner. Amazing!!! Daisia was the best!!! Food,service and atmosphere were awesome!

I really don't have much to say. I live in Florida and don't have much interest other than a disappointing valentines. I'd give three stars at best. You may call me to discuss.

Great drinks best old fashioned I've had in awhile Plus the service is always on point as well

Food is good noise level is very bad service was good Would no go if for special occasions

If I could give ten stars, I would. We went here on a whim because everywhere else we looked at going after church was closed. The food was unbelievable. As was the service. And my husband declared that he wanted our home decorated like the inside of the restaurant (very "New Orleans" with a rich, decadent sort of feel). everything is farm to table, so the food is Fresh and delicious. We had raw oysters (salty birds which were tiny, but salty and clean), deviled eggs (The crispy garnish was everything), shrimp and grits (my husband said it was the best he's ever eaten), eggplant (soooo good), and corn ice cream (one of my favorites! I never see it down here so I was stoked!). Plus we had drinks. Anthony was our server and was amazing as well. I intend to come here as often as I can so I can try everything on the menu.

I wanted to give this restaurant a knock-out-review but the food really fell flat. As far as cocktails, it is a 10/10. Artisan old fashions with the right flare and espresso martinis to die for. The ambiance is also reminiscent of a 1920s lounge, complete with bartenders in suspenders, bow ties, and a very talented piano player. The only reason I cannot give this place a 5 is because of the food. By the menu description, the food sounds divine but just is not good - despite being farm to table. The best part of our meals was the appetizer. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel - it was over fried, over a huge mound of cabbage, and very little dill schnitzel. The taste was bland and I hoped for more schnitzel. The chicken "specials" dish was also nothing too special. That being said, I would come here for appetizers, the ambiance, and the cocktails but never for dinner.

This is quite the place to enjoy a great dining experience. The small plates are tasty wonderful. Enjoyed the ambiance of the patio on a warm summer night . Tomato pie was tasty .

Sunday brunch at White Pillars is one of the best restaurant experiences on the coast! Although, we sat outside to enjoy the gorgeous April weather, their bar and dining room are equally beautiful. Anthony was so personable and impeccable with his service and recommendations. Their bartenders are top tier and Robert made our group very happy with his delicious crafted cocktails using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The brunch menu offers many choices - our delectable selections included soft shell crabs, shrimp and grits, fresh swordfish with a bright chimichurri sauce, and grits and grillades. We concluded our meal with amazing desserts of strawberry cobbler with cream cheese ice cream and pecan praline cheesecake! The flavors and freshness of their ingredients are beyond perfection! Justin, their manager, and Chef Austin who stopped by our table have obviously curated an awesome team!

Creative menu. Well executed. Definitely recommend for brunch. Looking forward to trying dinner!

Wow! What a gorgeous venue in a historic house The ballroom where we dined was fabulous as was the bar/lounge The food was outstanding I had the Amberjack, and it was amazing I frequent lots of high quality restaurants, and this place is top notch It's perfect for a date night The food, the service, and the ambiance are off the charts good

We stopped in Biloxi for one night and I picked White Pillar based on reviews - and boy are they spot on! This is an outstanding restaurant, capable of competing with the best in any city. The building is beautiful and classic, the service is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is top level gourmet stuff. Among the great dishes we had the one standout was the seafood tower. The freshness of all the ingredients and the creativity behind the different sauces and mignonettes was evident in every bite. One nit: The amuse-bouche was tiny to the point of being funny. It was about the size of my thumbnail and whatever was on the top was probably pretty good, but it disappeared from my tongue in an instant. It temporarily set the wrong tone for the meal but that was quickly corrected with the next dish. If you're going to give people a gift to set the stage for the evening, you should give them something great - and big enough to taste. With that one nit aside, the people in Biloxi are very lucky to be able to stop in here whenever they can afford it. Truly excellent!

The restaurant is beautiful, food was delicious and server was attentive and friendly. Next time I am in Biloxi, I will definitely visit again.

The restaurant is beautiful and Jessy our waiter was great. He was patient explaining the menu, answering questions, and made things right when the bar missed our cocktail order. We started with the crab Rangoon ravioli, pork belly, and tomato flatbread. The ravioli was good but I could've eaten a truckload of the pork belly. It was fantastic. The tomato flatbread was delicious as well. I wanted to order the pate parfait but my family was feeling less adventurous than me. My wife and I split the mahi which was very good, my son devoured the swordfish ( didn't even offer me a bite ). My daughter had chicken fingers and fries and when she was full the rest of us finished her fries which were great. I would highly recommend for people who like fresh upscale food for a nice dinner experience. The one thing I didn't like even though it's nit-picky is that there were no tablecloths on the tables. Therefore our drinks were sweating and leaving puddles all over the table along with crumbs and plates the backwaiters didn't get very quickly. I just felt like for the money we spent and nice table cloth would complete the experience.

This restaurant may one day be great, and in the meantime, it's good. Very good. Let's start with the positives: bar, piano, decor. The bar is beautiful, old mahogany that makes you feel feel sexy, like Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart on a date could drop by before dinner. Cocktail selection is fun with emphasis on fundamentals--and I appreciate a cocktail that's not overly fussy. And the cut crystal glass feels good in your hand, The pianist is good playing classics with a deft hand and nice voice. The lighting is perfect for a woman of a certain age ( me) with soft tones throughout the restaurant. Tables are nicely spaced with banquettes that reminded me of Old New York. Most importantly, it's not too loud, so you can speak softly and still be heard. I was also quite impressed with the large windows that looked into the kitchen. The next time we're here, we will request a table with a view. The interior designer should be applauded! Tip: Order an app at the bar! You'll be delighted with the amuse bouche and service! Now for the weaknesses: This chef is ambitious and will definitely grow, but those growing pains hurt! Do NOT turn fois gras into a whipped cream and serve it with strawberries. Please. Just. Don't. Part of the guilty pleasure is the luxuriant mouthfeel. And lard is lard is lard no matter if you salt it, Cajun spice it, or cover it in honey. Give us butter,please! Keep experimenting with techniques and food, but find an honest friend who will tell you the truth. Just because you can doesn't mean you should-- Overall, we will be back and often. A James Beard nomination will be forthcoming, just not yet.

This restaurant is easy to spot on the main Beach Blvd in Biloxi casino town. Parking is very convenient since the restaurant has great parking lots. Reservation was made through Open Table and we were seated right away when we walked in. Service was just ok. Our waitress seemed sweet but lacked on explaining dishes on the menu. Food was good overall. We enjoyed it but the other couple didn't enjoy it too much. They thought it was too exotic for their taste since they prefer traditional style mostly. Inside the restaurant, it is beautifully decorated. It's a great place to dine out and celebrate.

Excellent food, atmosphere, service, etc. You'll need to make reservations at least 24-48 hours in advance. This is one of our top favs on the coast.

Farm to table in an elegantly refined older house along the strip. Service was impeccable. Our waitress knew her menu and offered great suggestions. We started off with a craft old fashioned and dirty martini. Enjoyed the charcuterie board. For main course she had soars fish and I had the cutting board burger. Both were good. All in all a good experience.

My favorite!! Always the best food, service, and cant ask for better atmosphere. The Sea Food Tower makes me happy!!

Recently, we chose to dine at White Pillars Restaurant. First, let me say, the decor is absolutely beautiful. We had a 6:00 reservation. Had to wait 25 minutes to be seated. Waited about 20 minutes for a server to come to our table. Ordered cocktails and had to wait over 30 minutes for them and only then because we stopped someone. Some of the cocktails were in unusually small glasses. Very little wine in wine glass. (Not our first time of having cocktails! - Weird) By this point we were starving. We noticed bread on other tables so we asked if we could get some. Waited at least 20 minutes for the bread. (Side note: with the bread - no butter. They have "flavored Lard" instead. Bread good but not the Lard!) Then, for the 3 of us, the entree "choices" were just not our thing. It took us a while to decide because nothing really stood out to us. We ordered the: Cast Iron seared Pork Chop (good but a lot of fat) Confit Duck Pappardelle (served in a very small bowl with tiny pieces of duck chopped up with a few pieces of pappardelle noodles) and the Chicken Piccata (fried crispy and dark brown with no sauce - I've never seen such a thing). So disappointing because the head chef has been recognized several times for his talents. My husband and daughter spoke to the manager before we left and he gave them a gift card to come back. I have to say that there was not one thing I would want to go back for. I'm sorry for such a bad review. But it really was not a very good experience for us.

Sunday brunch is awesome! Been going here for years and the food is unique and delicious. Service has always been too notch!

They have a very ritzy ambiance, which is nice for a romantic dinner. I like the items on the menu but not all of it was executed the way I imagined. Their Roasted Bone Marrow ($15) was the size of my thumb. They plated it with the Steak Tartare (two individual small plates/appetizers) so I didn't realize how underwhelming the actual bone marrow was until afterwards. The Rabbit Confit Pappardelle was pretty good but it tasted like just any pasta dish. I was expecting more from an upscale restaurant like this.

Went here for the first time and it was a delightful surprise to find in the area. Definitely a hidden gem. You walk in and the bar looks like a speakeasy from the 1920s style. Very cool. Walk over to the other side and it's all white a little more fancy/upscale looking. I felt underdressed but there was not a dress code here that I know of. The menu was a farm to table always using fresh ingredients. When you order you have to order your apps and entree all at once to make things easier for the kitchen. I had the pork chop dish , had to be one of the best pork chops I've ever had. Juicy, very tender , melt in your mouth flavor, was cooked to perfection. Along the way they did give us some sample of some home made cheese on a cracker it was delicious and the house made bread with 3 different butters to try was also fantastic and a pleasant surprise. I wish I had room for dessert. Will definitely be coming back. Service was very fast and friendly and knowledgeable of the menu.

Let me preface this by saying I am a farm to table foodie. If it has that in the title or description, I'm there but, with that said... White Pillars is easily one of the top 3 restaurant experiences of my life. Everything we ordered was amazing and the service was impeccable. The drinks were wonderful as well. We will MOST DEFINITELY be repeat customers. Shoot, I'll go by myself for drinks and apps. Hands down best restaurant I've been been to in the last 10 years.

On arrival, things were hectic at the front desk as so many others showed up at our very early 5:30 PM reservation time, perhaps because it was ladies night at the bar. Once we were seated, everything got better. Our server Michael did a nice job. We really liked the cocktails. we had some oysters from Murder point Alabama that were great. House made focaccia bread was fabulous, obviously made earlier this very day. We shared an heirloom tomato salad and especially appreciated the special bacon on top of the very fresh tomatoes. I had the smoked and fried chicken and my wife had the softshell crab. Both were quite good. We had duck fat fries that we couldn't finish, but we both enjoyed.

This LARGE thematic restaurant is what one would expect if an old southern beach town mansion hybridized with a Las Vegas casino restaurant. While this establishment is not part of a casino-hotel it is housed in an expansive space. The bar area is very dark, large , and "loungy". Dining is available in the bar area. The center dining area has an elegant ceiling height, and is strewn with light. A few covered tables occupy a space in front of picture windows that allow a peek into this James Beard Chef's kitchen. Tables and chairs are a dark mahogany, adequately spaced apart from one another, but the wooden tables seem weirdly "undressed" with their absence of finishing white linen table cloth. Service is top shelf. The hostess was pleasant, their is a matre'd that floated about the room inspecting, and insuring the diner's experience. Our waiter was excellent! She had a deep knowledge of the menu, and equal knowledge of the origin of the items offered. The crafted cocktails are numerous, my French 75 was a tasty interpretation of this classic cocktail. The wine list is extensive with a few bargains sprinkled among the varietals listed. House baked ciabatta was very good, served with a variety of lardos. These flavored lardos were excellent, but may not be to everyone's liking. I skipped a salad and ordered Tomato Pie served with a scoop of savory Creole Cream Cheese ice cream. This "pie" was reason enough to dine here!! The local tomatoes had been perfectly flavored with spices before baked into a light perfectly salted crust. The "ice cream" melts into the pies nooks and crannies creating a delicious savory, cheesy, tomato flavored amalgam. Local collard greens were perfectly cooked, NOT OVERCOOKED, and seasoned with pork. This chef's take on an upscale Patatas Bravas prepared from local fresh "dug" potatoes was equally well prepared and full of flavor. The prime Filet was as advertised. A delicious piece of prime filet, seared to perfection, and cooked to the exact temperature requested. After all was eaten there was no room for dessert, but the house made list of offerings was tempting. If your looking for an excellent meal and dining experience, skip the expensive dining offered at the casino-hotels, and come to this establishment. It is still expensive but worth every penny.

Robert, Justin, Caleb, Tree, Brendan and of course Chef Austin are all so wonderful. They make the experience so much more enjoyable.

Have been here twice, first time in 08/2018 And again 08/2021. 08/2018 was a large dinner party, they were very accommodating. 8/2021 was just a small dinner for two. Both times: Amazing service, decor, and fresh farm to table food! We absolutely enjoyed our dinners here. Every dish was so unique and had its own flavoring. The drinks were also great. Loved the "peach on the beach" Raw Snapper crudo from our latest dine in was AMAZING!! MUST ORDER. This was one of the 2 dishes that landed chef the winning title at the 2021 King of American Seafood, I was told by our server. Burst of flavor in every bite! Can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

My husband took me to the White Pillars for my birthday. Entering the restaurant felt like walking into an 18th century mansion in Paris. We were seated promptly and greeted warmly by our server who provided excellent service throughout our meal. The kitchen is fronted with a large window allowing the dining room to watch the chef's as they prepared the food. I had the Filet mignon with baby potatoes and my husband had the Blue fin tuna with baby carrots. Both of our courses were melt in the mouth tender and the vegetables grown in their rooftop garden were garden fresh and absolutely delicious. The only negative was that we were seated next to the lounge which had a very loud birthday party in progress. Due to the volume of the party it was difficult to have a conversation with each other, our server, or the manager when he came to welcome us. We will definitely be back but will ask to be seated farther away from the lounge.

This place is our go to eatery in Biloxi! Chef Austin is amazing with his flavor twist on farm to table ingredients. Mixologist Robert, Maria, Brendan, and Caleb will provide some of the most flavourful cocktails on the coast!. You'll never find better server's Dasia and Anthony. Do yourself a favor and book a table today, it's the perfect spot of date night!

I am giving y'all 5 because of the wonderful reply I got from owner Austin and because I didn't know the Ramos Fizz are not on our menu. I do know our group ordered a lot of them and as a bartender myself I know how time consuming they are to make. Great reply Austin as I said my husband and I will return!!

Michael took care of us with fantastic service, very knowledgeable on the menu and everything was on time. The food, I wish I had words, there is something about the balance and design of flavors here that elevates these plates over anything I have ever eaten if you are on the fence fear not this is the place to go.

Amazing service and ambiance. Food is sublime. The oysters tasted extremely fresh! I will definitely be coming back.
