White Pillars

Absolutely amazing! The farm to table experience was some of the best food I’ve ever had! I highly recommend you get the duck! Omg!

Meal: Dinner The entire meal was a work of art! Atmosphere: the atmosphere was a uniquely customizable. I did not dress formally, but the staff could have easily upgraded or downgraded the amount of formal. Each table was candle lit. 1. First thingy: Not sure what the name was but the first thing (something long and french) on the table was a small piece of bacon (I think they said pork cheeks?, but it was bacon) with delicious little toppings, beautifully served. 2. Bread: Expertly toasted bread with butter and herbs, served with spreadable lard blended with the perfect amount of honey and something else I can’t remember. 3. Starter: Seasonal flat bread (see description In menu). Delicious, fatty, and wonderful! 4. Small plates: Quail - hardy and served with butternut squash. Brussels sprouts - I have had this dish at other restaurants before, but never executed this well! Crab toast - probably the best starter. Full of flavors with the perfect amount of fresh tastes and fat. Duck fat fries - BEST FRIES YOU WILL EAT IN YOUR LIFE. Entrees: Seared Duck and Duck Confit - absolutely spectacular. This entree was a true work of art! The confit was served on top of a bed of greens. The seared duck was too perfect. The plate was decorated with root vegetables some hardy and some sweet. This dish served the range of flavor and I won’t pretend to understand or fully appreciate what the chef did with this! Sword fish: I had a little taste of this, it was not my entree, I would get and I would recommend. I highly recommend this place for the average joe and people who would call themselves foodies! Staff: I may have been served by 4-5 staff members. The service is on a new level!

Amazing food. I loved it. The menu the day I went was very meat heavy, but they do change the menu every single day. It is a farm to table restaurant. The chef goes to the local farmers markets every week, and the restaurant gets shipments from farms every week. If you tell them that you want something taken off or added to the dish, they will follow your orders to the T, and maybe add something in its place. The dessert was Divine. All together this restaurant would be on a list for things to do before you retire, and I strongly recommend this restaurant for all demographics

This place is Amazing y'all. Best meal 🍴 , drinks 🥃, experience EVERYTHING, since I've moved to Mississippi. And I'm from Austin, where there is a serious food scene, so yeah, that means something. Chef Austin is where it's at. Yes, you'll drop some serious coin here, but it's worth it. We ahead of our reservation so we could enjoy some time at the bar and I'm so glad we did! Robert at the bar served up some delicious cocktails, as well as some cool history about the restaurant and bar itself! We were having so much fun we almost didn't want to leave! But we did finally head out to to the table and first we had a delicious amouse bouche of a summer gazpacho that delighted us! Followed by a the seafood tower that would delight the God's. I was just so happy no one else wanted the caviar! We shared some apps including the chilled cucumber soup, a salad and OMG the eggplant Josephine. I'm still thinking about that eggplant Josephine! Just get it. Entrees were just as devine! Fiancee and I shared the carpet bagger steak (so good!), his mom had the fish, there was something else devoured before I had a chance to see.. For dessert there was cheesecake. We were visited by Chef Austin mid dinner which was so nice. My mother and father in law were very impressed. Then later my fiance and I were walking by the kitchen and saw chef again and he invited us in to see the kitchen and chatted with us again! He was so genuine and kind! We were celebrating a special occasion that night and we shut down the restaurant! The staff was great! Later my MIL told my fiance that that meal was the highlight of her visit to us. I loved everything about White Pillars and can't wait to go back!

This is one of the most awesome meals we've ever had. Duck Ramen = delight. Aviation cocktail, oysters as an appetizer, and chocolate mint torte (forgot to take a pic of that one) to finish...yum yum yum. And the service was fantastic. A+!

Amazing food and fantastic service! My first time here, and everything was so delicious. From the pork belly and tomato salad, duck confit, and the fig cobbler! I will definitely be back!

One of the best dining experiences on the Gulf Coast. Excellent service, a unique menu, stellar cocktails, and amazing food. Had their duck entree. It was spectacularly cooked and seasoned. Easily the best meal we've had in a year and we're looking forward to visiting again.

White Pillars is the full package, locally sourced creative menu, top notch service, and beautiful ambiance. Austin, Tresse, and their staff pride themselves on providing excellent service. I have booked events for large parties and have dined alone, the quality of the food and service is consistent every single time.

This was such an amazing place. The food was creative and executed deliciously. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. 4 stars on service only because they were out of a couple of the select bourbons that we tried to order. Our poor server had to run around a bit to figure out what was available and what wasn't. It was truly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.

With a fantastic location, beautifully converted home over 110 years old and delicious food. Chef Austin and his team have done an amazing job with this place and I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner if you are in the area. I had a chance to visit while here on a business trip and our meeting was scheduled at this beautiful location. Hors d'oeuvres were served (pis below) that were amazing as was the service. The food was thoughtfully prepared and farm to table as is their entire menu. There are also stories throughout the house from every room, (including the bar brought from Chicago that AL Capone was known to visit) so be sure to ask. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. If you found this review helpful, please hit the Like button. 👍

I can’t speak highly enough of this restaurant! It has quickly become my favorite place to eat on the coast. Between the artfully crafted cocktails, beautifully fresh meals, and gorgeous decor, dining here is a true experience. Not only that but the owners and staff do a wonderful job of making you feel like family. It’s definitely worth the trip!

Amazing food and service! The salted caramel after dessert WOW! 🤤

Exceptional dining on the coast! Celebrated a birthday at White Pillars and they exceeded expectations on every level.

A beautiful old mansion converted into a restaurant with a great atmosphere. There is a long bar with plenty of tables in the lounge area that opens before the restaurant and had a live piano artist playing during our visit. If you go, ask for Robert, the second best bartender in Mississippi, you won't be disappointed with the drinks, recommendations, or his stories. The food and dining is upscale, but not stuffy and the employees are great, they hustle and deliver great food. Keep an eye out for the menu online because it changes seasonally. My wife and I had a great time and would recommend a visit.

Had a FANTABULOUSLY delicious brunch this morning. The food was on point! We started out with the deviled eggs and an order of the shishito peppers. The peppers were suggested by our amazing waiter Michael and they were a pleasant delight! I liked the smokey/saltiness, they were perfect. Then for the entrees, my husband got the chicken and waffles topped with a pecan syrup. The chicken was super moist and the waffles were perfectly cooked. I got the full southern breakfast. Oh wow the flavors!!! Literally everything on my plate was ridiculously tasty! It was hard not to finish but i got SO full (oh darn, leftovers lol). Amazing food and impeccable service! Will definitely be back👍

Excellent food, with stunning ambiance. Had the pork chop, red snapper, and bone marrow burger - all were delicious. The large area can become very loud due to the acoustics, but you're far enough away from each tables, your conversations are still private. Had some long weight times in between when our server came back, but could tell she had a lot of tables she was serving. Will come back again.

Located in a beautiful, upscale venue, this restaurant offers an elevated dining experience. The menu is well thought out and crafted for foodies. Also, putting fried chicken crumbles on macaroni and cheese? Genius. I cannot wait to try more of their dishes. I attended their drag brunch a couple of times which was such a fun experience!

I phoned to enquire about the live entertainment mentioned in the reviews. The friendly waitress who answered the phone assured me that there would be a pianist in the lounge. Before I could have second thoughts she got my Name & email for a reservation. When we were seated beside the grand piano, a pleasant waitress arrived. SOMEHOW, she knew I was the fellow she had spoken to on the phone. So started a fun evening of kibitzing with Ebony, a little firecracker. With award winning food, beautiful mood music, elegant surroundings, and great staff, we couldn’t have wished for more. One hint: The dress code says smart casual, but don’t be hesitate to dress to the Max. This is the place to do it!

We loved our first visit to White Pillars! The farm to table concept of bringing fresh local food to your plate is just fantastic! Everything we tried was excellent and delicious. Beautiful well designed elegant dining rooms with views of the kitchen. It’s great being able to see the chefs working their magic to prepare your meals. The chef shops at the local farmers market each day to bring fresh ingredients to the kitchen. They source local produce and meats from the area as well. They pride themselves in making high quality food with a southern flare that everyone will love. My wife and I really enjoyed our meal. I chose the smoked and fried chicken, and my wife went with the Sword fish, both were absolutely delicious. Our favorite dish of all of them was the Brussels Sprout Caesar salad..... you have to try that one! 👌🏻All around wonderful place to have a great meal. We look forward to coming back for more. They also have a really nice bar and they specialize in old fashioned drink recipes. We enjoyed a few drinks there after dinner and the bartenders were very friendly and we had a great time talking with them. While there the owner and chef came out to meet us and have a chat. We really enjoyed talking to him about his restaurant and our experience. If your in Biloxi and looking for a great place for an upscale meal, come and try White Pillars!

My boyfriend proposed to me here and they were super helpful to him to set it all up. The food was exquisite. The surface was really wonderful atmosphere is definitely nice.

Perfection! From our drinks to our dessert everything was exceptional. We cannot wait to come back. The gnocchi and oysters were both sensational and the swordfish schnitzel and the coq au vin papperdelle were out of this world delicious. We ended the meal with the seasonal cheesecake and it was delightful,

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.

We both agreed that this is our new favorite restaurant. We are so thrilled to have found it on Open Table. It was absolutely delicious in a perfect environment with amazing service (Thanks, Mike!). We started with the oysters trio, upgraded with Murder Point oysters, as we have family ties to MP and were so excited to see them on the menu. My husband had the crackling encrusted swordfish and I had the 14 oz striploin. I usually go for the filet, but wanted to try something different. NO regrets! Thanks White Pillars for a perfect evening. We will be back. Can't wait to see what's on the menu next time.

This place is amazing! Deija was an absolute sweetheart and made it feel like we were long time friends celebrating something at her party. The food was great, even though I would have liked a bit of simplicity (like horseradish and cocktail sauce served with oysters). This is going to be a must on my list every time I am in the area.

Well I rarely post reviews but... So it's been a while since I have been able to go out safely (during chemo), so we have missed our absolute favorite restaurant, bar, just overall place to be, which is White Pillars. It is amazing! The staff is SO kind and accommodating to me, which has allowed our return and we couldn't be happier. Chef Austin is such a great guy and is often in the dining room greeting his guests (fun fact: he just recently beat Alex Guarnaschelli). The food, well, just YUM. We love it here and we won't ever not. And as a bonus, we usually see Chef at the local farmers market every Saturday morning. Thank you, White Pillars! We adore having a place where everybody knows our name (not really but they know my hats) 🥰 I cant list all the items we have had over our visits so I will stick with tonight's. The mushroom Flatbread is one of our regular favorites. The tomato flatbed is delicious also. The gumbo is a favorite. I always, always get the duck fat fries. The mac and cheese is just perfect. The filet is amazing, full of flavor. The summer seafood cioppino was excellent, very light. We always finish with a latte and the nanner pudding, which oh my gosh, is so yum! It's actually an ice cream. Yum, yum, yum. In the past we have had the seafood tower, well worth it just for the oysters and ceviche. The bone marrow and steak burger, really nice. The fried chicken, all the ways they prepare it, is delicious. Since they are always keeping the menu local and fresh its hard to remember all the dishes but I have never been disappointed with anything I have eaten. We truly love it here.

This was our first time here and will not be our last! My husband made reservations to celebrate our 24th anniversay. We were about 20 minutes early, but were seated immediately! Our server was Elias! He brought us champagne to toast our marriage! He was great and has a fun personality! Wonderful guy! Make sure you ask for him! He will make sure your night goes well! He answered all of our questions and made some recommendations on drinks and meals! Everything we ordered was delicious! Our food runner was this cutie named Raven. She smiled every time she walked past us! Very sweet girl! They both checked on us constantly to make sure everything was good!

Service was EXCELLENT!!! It was our Wedding Anniversary they printed out special menus and Happy Anniversary was Printed on top, and they took our photo! Food was Exceptional and fresh. Will definitely return

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

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!

Had a wonderful experience here. The building itself is beautiful. Large open rooms, white tile floors, huge bar area, and still some of the dining areas are also quite intimate and comfortable. Our group had a private room and we tried half the menu. They try to source everything they can locally and keep everything fresh. The menu changes often and if and if they don't have quality product or run out of the special then you'll have to pick something else so get there early. Service was excellent. Multiple service staff handling it all and very knowledgeable about what they are serving. I'm sure we'll be back.

Absolutely mind-blowing taste bud decadent! A must to experience. Food, perfectly cooked, service was outstanding! Will definitely be our special occasion "go to" restaurant.

This was the best meal I have had in years! Seriously! The service was outstanding & luxurious. The food was better than we could have imagined. From the complimentary bread to the desserts to end the night, it was 10/10. If you are looking for a nice restaurant with amazing food, you need to come here!

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!

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 pianist was lovely. I went a few weeks ago, and everything was delicious. I went again tonight because I wanted to sit by the piano, and they were able to seat me next to the pianist. The food was amazing, and they boxed all my leftovers for me. I had a salad, crispy Brussels sprouts, lasagna alla vodka, and the pear galette. Everything was very fresh, and I love that everything is local. Everything was delicious, and if I wasn't leaving the state next week, I'd definitely be back soon.

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!!!

Michael was the best server I’ve ever had. The entire experience was amazing. I have never written a review but this place deserves it. My order got sent out with the appetizer and they bought me a dessert and an entree and they were very sweet. I would come back just for the service alone, but the food was so amazing!!

10 out of 10. The service was outstanding. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Make sure you have your credit card with you. Worth the experience.

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.

Went for my wife's birthday and it was our first time. Everything from the food to the service, to the atmosphere were amazing and very memorable for our special occasion. The "Farm to Table" concept drives an ever-evolving menu building the desire to return soon. Lastly, kudos to Liliana who really set the bar high for service and courtesy. We'll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic dinner at White Pillars in Biloxi. Great restaurants start with great food, but truly outstanding restaurants are defined by exceptional service, and White Pillars excels at both. From the moment we walked in, the hostesses were warm and welcoming. We had mentioned in advance that we were celebrating a birthday, and they went the extra mile by printing Happy Birthday on the menus, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. Our server, Brady, was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She expertly guided us through the menu and absolutely nailed every recommendation. To make the evening even more special, the chef sent out a few appetizers to start the night, which elevated the entire experience. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the team at White Pillars made our evening. Highly recommend for a special occasion… or any occasion.

Fine dining in a relaxed setting. White Pillars is a great change of pace from the typical Coast seafood restaurants. The chef is well known to those that follow the restaurant scene on the coast. The menu has something to offer most diners from smoked fried chicken to steaks and seafood. For our visit we had chicken Parmesan which was the most tender crispy chicken breast I’ve tasted. We also had amberjack fish dish served with coconut rice and hits of Thai flavors. For sides we had collard greens and Brussel sprouts. The greens were our favorite. The Ambience is classic with white table cloth and a larger center room with views of the chef’s hard at work creating very inspired dishes. Great for a celebration with your spouse or a special dinner with family and friends.

We went to White pillars restaurant and had the most exquisite time. We ate at the bar and got the most extraordinary service ever we started on appetizers and never left. We had a crab Rangoon, the fish carpaccio, the Biloxi, hot oysters, and each one of them was better than the last. The setting is deep rich south. The bartenders as well as the customers were ingratiating and fun. This is one of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to. It’s a must stop in Biloxi.

I’ve been probably 20 times. The coast is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. I have brought colleagues from nola several times who put this place above many of their favorite restaurants in the city.

The LOVE put into the food on the ever evolving menu is obvious. I enjoy trying things you cannot find on most menus. This restaurant checks that box!

Excellent experience start to finish! Food that was truly next level! Bar service was prompt and all mixed exceptionally well! Wait staff were on their game all night! And to top it off, live music that added to the whole luxe feel

Spectacular from start to finish! Food and atmosphere were outstanding, only matched by the graciousness and hospitality of the team!

I attended the drag brunch today. I have a gluten allergy, and it was not a problem. The service was top notch and the food was unique and delicious. So nice to have a fine dining chef here in a more casual atmosphere. Also, he beat Alex on her own show. Love this place so much.

From the moment you step through the doors of White Pillars , you are transported to a world of refined elegance and culinary artistry. The ambiance is nothing short of breathtaking, with its soaring ceilings, exquisite décor, and soft, ambient lighting that creates an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. Every detail, from the impeccably set tables to the gentle murmur of conversation, speaks to a commitment to excellence. The tasting menu is an absolute revelation, a symphony of flavors and textures that dance across the palate. Each course is a work of art, meticulously crafted with the finest, freshest ingredients and presented with impeccable attention to detail. The sommelier's expertly curated wine pairings elevate the dining experience to new heights, perfectly complementing each dish and enhancing its unique flavors. But what truly sets this place apart is its impeccable service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. From the warm welcome at the door to the seamless execution of each course, every aspect of the service is flawless. Dining at White Pillars is not just a meal; it is an experience—a culinary journey that will leave you breathless and longing for more. A true gem that deserves every one of its five stars. The live music was amazing and elegant and topped the cake!

After going to a few other similarly priced restaurants recently, I really don’t know why we go anywhere else other than White Pillars. White Pillars is always what we compare other high end restaurants to & so far, almost all have fallen short. Food is always 10/10 Service is always spectacular Atmosphere is amazing- you can actually have a conversation without yelling, big enough for small groups but small/intimate enough for a romantic date night. We’re never disappointed with White Pillars.

I wish I had taken photos, but we were a 6-top and it seemed tacky. This was our 2nd or 3rd time there (hard to remember since we also went to a pop up they did uptown in NOLA recently). Every dish is well thought out, beautiful and delicious. The servers and other staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and are all top notch.

Farm to Table even down to condiments & fats & oils. The entire dining experience was exquisite. I truly felt as if we were the only guests there. Our server, Brittney, was kind, informative & a pleasure to have been served by. We celebrated our 11th anniversary here & we will be back, with friends!

My Girlfriend and I had a fantastic date night here. The service was super professional and the food was great. we both ate and got an appeaser for around 100 dollars. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a nice place to take someone.

Our experience was delightful. The whole experience was amazing. Chris was on point. He was witty, kind and knew the menu like the back of his hand. The food was delicious. We had the charcuterie board, pork chop and summer Capoli (I think that’s was it was). It was all amazing. It was my boyfriend’s birthday. Chris brought out champagne for a toast. A little card that said happy birthday and the menus said happy birthday. 12/10. I highly recommend this restaurant and Chris.

Where do I even start? My wife Avery and I came on the perfect day, our 1000th day of having been married, and the restaurants 8 year anniversary of being open, Godwink! This restaurant was amazing from the very beginning, we had reservations for 730 but heard there was a lounge, so we made our way down and hung at the bar until then. We were tended by Robert who was an OG expert on the establishment and gave us a FULL run down on granny in the corner, the Al Capone bar, and the fact that it was the oldest bar in Biloxi. Overall the place was beautiful and full of character, unique in and of itself, it reminded me of the beautiful bathhouses of Arkansas, very nice and makes you feel like you are in another world entirely! The food and beverage experience was nothing short of excellent, CLEAN, organic, locally sourced, CLEAN, 100% homemade recipes, and organic, biodynamic, and Demeter certified wines for the cherry on top, PLUS really delicious pickles for the pickle on top, check check check! Our waiters and waitresses were extremely attentive, Red was a dog gone encyclopedia for any questions we had about anything, she knew her stuff and went above and beyond to provide us with the best service possible. Amanda was Red’s partner in crime in the great pickle heist which that alone was worth coming. Spoiler: I’m a pickle fan. In a desert of unclean food, White Pillars is a beacon of hope on the gulf coast! Absolute gem!

Extremely delicious and wonderful meal. Everything was paced appropriately. The restaurant was beautiful. The food was all delicious. Our server Chris was top notch. This was our first experience but we will definitely be repeat customers.

I’m so glad that this restaurant is on the coast as we lack true quality dining options. Chef Austin is one of ,if not the best around . His attention to detail , quality of food and unique presentation set him apart from any other dining establishment on the coast (except Siren that he also owns). I drive a hour to eat here regularly and always like what new creations he comes up with . A true dining experience , don’t miss trying it if you are on the coast , you won’t be disappointed !

This is hands down my favorite place on the MS Gulf Coast to eat. You’ll find the most beautiful and relaxing atmosphere there and the food is just devine. The owners are incredibly kind and hardworking. They truly make sure your experience is the best. If you’re looking for the best culinary experience with the best customer service, you have to try this place!

First time visiting, won't be the last. The farm-to-table offerings were amazing. The sharable sides were excellent. A wonderful selection of mocktails to compliment a wide offering of beer, wines, and cocktails. The service and waitstaff was top notch as well. Highly recommend an evening out at White Pillars.

This is a beautiful fine dining restaurant with excellent service, delicious food, and a lovely, warm atmosphere. We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversary. I highly recommend it!

I can confidently say that The White Pillars is the best restaurant I’ve visited in the area. From the moment I arrived, Ebony made the experience exceptional. She was detail-oriented, accommodating, and genuinely delightful throughout the evening. Her attentiveness made my visit feel both memorable and incredibly comfortable. I ordered two of each of the oysters they were serving, along with the duck fat fries, and both were unforgettable. The fries, in particular, were some of the best I’ve had in a long time—perfectly crisp and flavorful. Even the ketchup was outstanding (yes, the ketchup!)—I wish I could keep a bottle of it stocked in my own kitchen. As for drinks, I had the best cognac Negroni I’ve ever experienced, crafted by Dylan. It was beautifully balanced and expertly composed—truly a spectacular cocktail I won’t soon forget. Impressed, I asked him to make my espresso martini as well. Once again, he delivered a perfectly balanced drink that took me by surprise and served as the ideal finale to the evening. Dylan is clearly a professional who takes pride in his craft. I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit!

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at White Pillars last night. There were five of us and we sat in the bar/lounge. The atmosphere is beautiful from the entry to the dining area. Ebony took care of us and she is great! Super knowledgeable and personable. Our cocktails were delicious! All the wait staff were friendly and engaging. We ordered alot for sharing and all dishes came out perfectly. We enjoyed the Duck Fat fries, steak tartar, oysters, pork belly as well as Eggplant Josephine, shrimp and grits, mushroom risotto and my favorite, mushroom flat bread. The food was brought out in stages and it was a comfortable process. Not rushed or too slow. We will definitely be back.

I took my wife here for Valentine’s and what an experience it was. The service 5/5, the atmosphere 5/5, but the food, OMG 10/5! We’ve been wanting to go back since. We’ve most definitely added White Pillars to our date night list. Our waiter, Noah, was superb! Fellas, if you’re looking for a spot to take your lady to WOW her, White Pillars is that place!

We ate here for the first time and had such a great experience. Red was our main server and she was absolutely amazing, very thorough, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of the entire time. Jacqueline and Amanda also stopped by to help out and they were wonderful as well. That said, Red truly went above and beyond and spent so much time making sure everything was perfect. Top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful food and pleasant atmosphere. My lovely wife took me here for my birthday and I was absolutely blown away. The steak tartar was mind blowingly delicious. I had the duck ramen and it was amazing as well. Who knew collard greens would go so well with ramen. My wife had the pasta special which was a double ravioli and it honestly had our heads spinning with how great it tasted. The staff took excellent care of us as well. I would reccomend this place to anyone who is ready to step away from boring food and into a truly refreshing take on the eating experience. 10/10 would eat again!

Atmosphere is very nice. Food is gourmet and made with fresh ingredients. A bit pricey but paying for fine dining.

My partner and I had the pleasure of having brunch at White Pillars recently. It was a great experience all around, from to the food to the service. We dined on the outdoor patio and I highly recommend it if the weather is nice. We started our meal with brunch cocktails and espresso and then ordered the French Hermit Oysters 3 ways. These were exceptional! The hollandaise sauce, a notoriously difficult sauce to keep from breaking, was masterfully done and perfectly light and flavorful. We split the eggplant Josephine and the wood grilled amberjack. Both were delicious and well-executed. There’s a level of refinement to the dishes here that I have yet to find in this area, and for that reason alone we will be back to try the entirety of the menu. Delectable!

Been to Biloxi a few times now and only just discovered this place. It’s a farm to table restaurant, and the menu changes depending on what they have on hand. The food was excellent although the pork chop was a tad undercooked at first. Sent back to the kitchen, and it came back perfect. The appetizer oysters were amazing! Our waiter was Tre who was very courteous. However, there were a couple of oopsies. First, he didn’t bring bread to our table. I believe it is complimentary as we noticed all the other tables except for his tables had bread brought to their tables. It also wasn’t an option on the menu. We asked him, and he brought some out for us. Then when we were paying, I gave him my card, and he brought it back for me to sign, but the check presenter didn’t have a credit card slip. While I was waiting to get his attention again, I checked my bank account, and he hadn’t even run my card. So I’m not sure where his head was at, but I guess he was having an off night. Overall, it was a great experience, and I hope to make it back on my next visit!

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

Nice place, bougie, good food, interesting menu, friendly staff, nice view if you sit outside, noisy at that bar, kinda of romantic in the dining room. Had the seafood tower which is good if you like raw oysters, the shrimp pad Thai, which should be left to Thai restaurants, was smaller than expected but sufficient given everything else I had, and also the steak burger which was good but the meat itself could have done with a bit more flavor on the inside.

Beautiful restaurant. We had drinks at the bar before heading to our table. The bartenders are wonderful and make beautiful and delicious drinks. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Our food was very good. They definitely try new things and make it their own which I appreciate.

Honestly, don't sleep on Biloxi local food. Sure, you can go to one of the casinos and spend $$$, but to get locally sourced foods with a southern take, this is the place unless you want to take a long drive. The wait stuff was great and knowledgeable. The bar cocktails are amazing.

The steak was good. Tried the duck fat fries ( letdown), mac n cheese(letdown)and the rangoon raviolis(tiny portion)and the wife's swordfish.(meh) The steak was the best of it all. The drinks were meh. I really wanted to like this place. I did a lot of planning for a special evening and I'm left wishing we had went elsewhere. The restaurant was beautiful and the piano was great.

Let me start by saying, we'll be back. Great chef and amazing menus. With that being said, we dined here on Thanksgiving and there were a couple highlights. The pork belly appetizer, house salad and fish entree were beyond delicious. A few reasons I gave 4 stars; 5pm reservation and we were seated at 5:20pm. The sides we ordered were tasty but lukewarm at best. Our server was slightly inattentive, and we didn't get any coffee with our dessert as an example. Again, we'll be back.

This is one of the nicest looking restaurants in the area inside and out. They have an AMAZING bar that is HUGE. The chef/owner is actually a cousin of mine I had never met before. The dining experience started out rather odd as the server went over the menu VERY fast to the point it just wasn't really understandable. The other very disconcerting issue was that they had some really AWFUL music playing which really took away from the ambiance. The food had some issues for me as they serve your bread with pork fat instead of butter and they don't really tell you that is what you are being served... so since I don't eat pork that wasn't good for me. It was quite a pain to just get some plain old butter from the kitchen or I would have even been happy with some beef tallow, duck fat or goose fat. For my main course I got the steak burger which was a very nice burger. My dining companion got the mahi mahi which was also quite nice. We both got the chocolate torte for dessert which was a delicious finish to the meal and the best part of the dining experience. If pig fat instead of butter doesn't bother you then this would be an enjoyable experience for most folks. I would like to return to sample more of the menu but the pig fat instead of butter deal ruins it quite a bit for me and my dining companion simply refuses to ever return due to that one issue.

My wife and I were pretty excited checking this place out. We invited a few friends to join as well. We started off with this seafood tower and it was pretty good. Also the Korean pork belly is a good appetizer. When it got to my entree which was their catch of the day, it looked pretty sad. At least my wife’s dish looked better but her hen was slightly overcooked. For the price that I paid for my entree, I was expecting much more food. Their cocktails were pretty good here. I enjoy the atmosphere, there’s a nice bar/lounge area that you can hang out. Overall, it was a little disappointing. I will have to give this place another chance, another time.

First visit. My sister had been once before and wanted to celebrate her birthday by having dinner here. Nice atmosphere. I could've done without the hostess telling me very matter of factly, there would be a cake fee before greeting me properly. Move on to the appetizers. We had the charcuterie board, the crustacean board, crispy fried okra, and Mac and cheese for the table. My favorite was the fried okra with the smoked tomato aioli. For just over an hours drive, it wasn't bad. I liked the appetizers better than the burger I ordered for dinner.

So me and my wife ordered the Korean pork belly and salad for our appetizer and the Korean pork belly was pretty good. It was only two bites of food literally for $16. Our salad was OK and it was literally just lettuce with tomatoes in it for our entrées we had I believe it was amberjack and what was supposed to be a pork chop. They had ran out of pork chops and replaced it with pork shoulder. The amberjack was gross from the time it was brought to us. The smell was terrible. The fish was not good. The fish was placed on top of what they claim was Butterbean I believe, and it was not, and it was on top of some grits that were very bland And her pork shoulder was far from good food and the pork shoulder as well as the fish were both basically raw and we were not asked how we would like either of them cooked, and since it was our anniversary, I did not really feel like arguing or complaining about the food, and our waiter could clearly see that we have not eaten any of our food as the buyer too and didn’t ask us you know is there something wrong with the food or anything like that? I don’t know we’ve had a very good experience in the past which is why we came back but this experience was not it. I will say that the atmosphere was pretty great. The piano player was doing an excellent job not too loud but still loud enough to cover the crowd but after spending $120 roughly for our food and that is without any drink drinks just food we drink water we left and had to stop for food on the way home

The bartender Robert was great but unfortunately my steak was over cooked. If your going to pay nearly $60 for a steak it should be cooked correctly. Told Rob and he said yes it over cooked but that was it. Other than that it was a nice bar.

The waiter was amazing. The atmosphere was decent and the restaurant was clean. The food was bland and I felt like I had better tasting food with larger portions for a similar price. Even the fresh bread was disappointing which I've never experienced before.

I am not sure what they did to the food, but Swardfish schnitzel and green goddess dressing totally terrible. We love this place in the past but it was over cooked and really bad. I'm sorry I put shark I was very upset. The server didn't even ask us how our meal was because she could see she took most of it back. She just brought our check. Maybe crap was to harsh but the food was just really really bad. I am glad you responded at least you read what people write, please don't let other people pay for food that sucks. Have a great day.

Food was bland. Had pork chop with grits. Pork chop was just salt and pepper with no other seasoning and was dry. Grits were edible in the middle but edges were burnt to the dish. Atmosphere was nice and waitress was very attentive. We did have our debit card information stolen while we there. If it wasn't the only place we visited the entire weekend then I would not say anything. Reached out to the owner and per his emails he looked into my request to review video but said he found nothing. No reason to risk going back.

First time going to WP after wanting to try it for quite some time. The dining room’s decor was lovely and the server was friendly and attentive. We did feel out of place considering the extreme lack of diversity, but only one patron made us uncomfortable with her constant staring. It did not impact our service in any way, and we weren’t placed somewhere off in the back. Now on to the food….the food came out in a timely manner, and was the correct temperature, but nothing truly wowed my tastebuds. The most flavorful item was the different butters that came out with the bread. The food was just truly underwhelming. I expected so much more considering the price. Maybe other items are better since the menu is seasonal, but I wouldn’t rush back to find out.

Since the restaurant was so highly rated, I talked my friend into going back because she had been several times and had not liked it. What a mistake! The first warning was that our bread was served with three varieties of LARD! Yes, LARD…not French or German butter that would be expected in a top-class restaurant. I ordered the okra and tomato sauce and found the okra so tough that I could not bite through it. The brussel sprout cesar (warm) salad was ok. My friend’s squash side was ok as well. She did not like the fried chicken at all which was served on a wood plank better suited for a rustic inn. The Daiquiri I ordered was minuscule for $12. The flourless chocolate cake and dollop of ice cream were both tasteless. The cappuccino was good though. The best part of our visit was our server who was superb. But I will not return to this place ever again.

The restaurant its self is very nice elegant and has a great atmosphere. However the food was a significant disappointment. My wife has the Smoked and Fried Chicken and was not impressed however she loved the greens. I had the Pork Steak Parmesan and it was terrible. The pork steak was over cooked to the point is was tough and the batter tasted like it was fried with fish or cross contaminated. The noodles with pesto were not very good at all and I notice there are responses to reviews from the owner saying they would address issues if brought to their attention. Myself and one other person in our party did in fact tell the waiter the noodles were not tasty and asked for them to be replaced without the pesto and perhaps some marinara. The replacement came out with nothing on them and they were terrible. A member of our party ordered the Mac and cheese with crispy chicken skin and it came out cold with a few crumbs. Two members ordered the Ham Hock and both noted it was salty. Before the end of our meal the chef came out and was visiting tables and conveniently skilled our table as he made his rounds. However we all agreed the pork belly was delicious and the salad while not extravagant was good. Frankly we had a party of eight and no one really enjoyed their meal.

We had lots of dishes to share with the 3 of us but we had wire metal shavings in our Brussels Caesar. And the only thing they did was take it off bill and offer us other foods. Really and truly they should have comp the whole meal bc it’s was metal wire from a brush in our food. My wife may or may not have swallow some bf discovering them. Do not think I will be going back here again. Unsatisfied

They should be ashamed of their portions/food quality. We had several appetizers, the portions weren't fit for a child. We will not be coming back. Sub par in every way, the atmosphere was almost okay. Spent over $300 EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED IN THE FOOD QUALITY!

It is one of those restaurants where you pay their high price to get the food the way they think it should be. Small portions, over spiced, under salted - and I don’t use salt- and they talk down to you if you even ask about a change to the meal. The one thing everyone agreed was good was the greens but there was about a tablespoon of those in the plate to accent the starch and meat.

This really was not a great experience. We were completely ignored for over an hour. Food came out inconsisent and wrong temperatures. Staff and owner were downing shots at bar. We had family visiting from out of country . We wished and hoped for an enjoyable family thanksgiving but next year we will try one of the many great restaurants along this coast we love

The experience started out great. The seafood tower was amazing. The service was great. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. My wife’s dish was amazing. The wood fire pork chop was the downer, it had a small mountain of fat and was over cooked. I would still recommend White Pillars.
