Pilar Restaurant & Full Bar

Aventura Gem. It was my bday and just happened upon this place and decided to take a chance.. so glad I did! Small and nicely furnished it was full but not enough for there to be a wait. The prices are reasonable and all three of us had apps and entree. My tuna tartare was great though kinda small and and the calamari were pretty good. I had the salmon and it was awesome! My fiance had the pork which he said was good but it just looked boring- brown pork, brown sweet potato, brown carmelized apples- needed some color on that plate! The only thing that kinda bothered me was they were told it was my bday, and excuse me if it sounds greedy, but I would have thought they would bring out some sort of dessert or something but oh well. Nice place and good food. Nice to go to a neighborhood place sometimes rather than the big chains.I will go back.…

All in all, Pilar is one of the few restaurants that has earned my repeat business.…
