I am obsessed with Pilot, I highly recommend this place! The boat has a great atmosphere to it and there are amazing views of Brooklyn + Lower Manhattan, regardless of where you sit. The food is incredible, the cocktails are delicious, and the staff are SO kind (Hannah took great care of our group)!
Amazing place. Must visit for the view and atmosphere, and the boat itself is so unique. You have everything you need for a great time : good food, amazing view, pleasant music and great atmosphere overall. The staff were also great and professional. We had oysters, sea scallops and lobster salad an
Great views and drinks! The oysters are a bit small compared to other locations. This location is dog friendly. I wish they had more food options. If you have motion sickness, I would advise not to eat here.
I enjoy this place for brunch very much, it’s literally located on a boat so if aware if you can get seasick easily! Everything I got was amazing, the oysters were small but sweet and flavorful.
The crudo sea beam was very appetizing and refreshing because of it’s citrusy taste along with some herb
It was a last min reservation for 4:00pm which was the perfect time to go but plenty of people did walk-ins as well. The staff were nice and attentive. Food was delicious! Love the lobster roll. Scenery is great on the water. The cocktails were refreshing and made just right as well.
I think its a once a year or couple times a year type of place, because everything is overpriced. Also the effort that is required for you to not fall over while you’re sitting on a barstool on a moving/swaying docked boat is considerable… The “black duck salt” oysters were just OK, they were on the
Dining with a different experience on a yacht moored by Brooklyn heights piers. Specialties are the seafood especially the oysters. Servers were friendly. Boat can sway a bit with passing boats for those who gets a bit queasy and seasick. The food were great and oysters fresh. Great view of lower Ma
Go for cocktails, oysters, and a good time. The food, otherwise, is just fine - but not the point. The views of Lower Manhattan are outstanding. So is the service. Make reservations. Go early.
Can I give atmosphere a 6 star? These drinks and oysters are for sure highlight. What a fun and special place to go. So cool. You pay for the views and being on a boat but if you’re a fan of Andy Sandburg…actually no don’t sing that song while you’re here. They’ll push you overboard. Amazing place.
Wonderful manhattan views. Drinks were slightly watered down. Although docked, there was some motion from waves created by other vessels, so those with motion sickness should definitely come prepared. The fries are absolutely perfect, and the variety of oysters was good. My colleagues said the oyst
This boat is magic. I’ve celebrated birthdays and anniversaries as well as just getting drinks and enjoying the sunset and amazing views from here. If it’s available request the Captain’s Table at the front of the boat, is that the bow, I think that’s the bow. The oysters are always great and the ho
This was fun. It's more about the boat, the location, and the view as the sun starts to go down than anything else, but we enjoyed it. Excellent, but pricey (but the VIEW!!!) oysters. I think mignonette should not be served in a salt dispenser. I definitely missed the chopped shallots.
The caviar h
Really beautiful view, lovely to eat on deck. Some of the food was great (fresh and clean oysters, nice pickled veg. assortment, well-cooled trout filet). The chowder was served still very cold in the center. Drinks were OK. The hostess was welcoming and helpful. Oysters preparers were happily chat
Amazing place and great experience at pilot, the view is outstanding during the sunset. Be aware that the boat is rocking especially when sitting on the sides.
The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. This restaurant is on a literal boat, so I would recommend checking the weather app to look at the Wind MPH (anything above 12MPH will rock the boat a little much, so it you or your friends get seasick, I would recommend going on a less win
Great location! The menu is great. Loved all the drinks and food.
Pilot is truly a unique dining experience. The classic sailboat that houses this restaurant is full of charm and character. The view of lower Manhattan is unbeatable and a lot of fun to watch as you enjoy dinner.
The food is fantastic but the entrée portions are rather small. The service is friendl
Can't beat the atmosphere: a beautifully modified wood sail boat bobbing along the East River just across from the Southern tip of Manhattan. Great sunset views. The food was fantastic: delicious oysters, amazing lobster roll and the scallops were perfect. Service was polite and attentive.
