We had the pleasure of dining here Saturday evening for my birthday dinner and it was such a lovely experience! Tristan was our server and incredibly kind and helpful, his energy was welcoming. The restaurant is seemingly huge with a lot of dining tables but I would recommend having a reservation for this place. Perfect waterfront experience with decent cocktails and delicious food. Would definitely come back with our family again! The patio is also pet-friendly, and parking is kind of a pain.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner (24 guests) & wedding welcome drinks (60 guests) event at the Pilot House and we could not be more thrilled with the food, atmosphere, cocktails, and most importantly, the incredible service. The Pilot House events team (Little Drum Landing) was absolutely fantastic to work with and helped bring our vision to life. In addition to handling the set up of everything, they created menus for our dinner which was a really nice touch. They set us up on the covered deck for dinner during sunset which was perfect, then we moved out to the landing area for welcome drinks at a small satellite bar they set up for us. We asked them to create two speciality cocktails and they delivered! Our guests really enjoyed them. The food was delicious—guests were served a couple appetizers family style and then could choose from soup or salad and an entree—and everything came out quickly. The bar tenders and waitstaff were friendly, fun, courteous, and experts at what they do. We could not have envisioned a more perfect night and it would not have been as successful without the Pilot House team. Whether you’re going here for cocktails, a nice family dinner, lunch with friends, or want to host an event, we’d absolutely recommend the Pilot House for any occasion. 😊⭐️

We hosted our intimate wedding dinner on the Captain’s Deck and it was absolutely perfect!!! From start to finish, the whole team was so accommodating and communicative. Jodi, the events coordinator, was SO helpful leading up to the big day and when there was a small mix-up with the menu, they fixed it quickly and professionally without skipping a beat. Our waiter Tristan deserves a special shoutout - he was the best of the best!! Fun, attentive, and unfazed by our super rowdy group. He kept everything running smoothly and made everyone feel taken care of. Thank you, Tristan!!! The setting is stunning, the food was outstanding, and our guests are still raving about it. THANK YOU to everyone at Pilot House for making it a night we’ll never forget!!

Had a good experience here! It’s in a great location, especially for sitting outside! The service was a little spotty but we were a large group. Food was good, drinks were great! The crab dip was a favorite dish.
