Customer Reviews
I loved everything about this place. The food was amazing. So were the drinks and wine. Our waiter was awesome, attentive and great with suggestions. I especially liked the cast iron steak and the grouper. Bread pudding was memorable too & creme brulee. Atmosphere was great and the manager came to check on us. Highly recommend.
Excellent food and service. They have a really nice view of the river if you sit by the window. It’s got a super quaint atmosphere as it clearly is in what used to be a beautiful southern home.
The food was spectacular. I especially loved the hostess—she has a bubbly, radiant personality that made us feel so welcome. Our waitress was kind and attentive throughout the meal. Sitting inside with a water view during the light drizzle was perfect; it was warm, comfortable, and beautifully set with cushions and a lovely atmosphere. I truly enjoy supporting local restaurants, and the fresh food, cooked in-house with high-quality ingredients, was absolutely worth the drive.
Tonight we went out to celebrate our first home visit by a potential buyer. Don’t ask no word back yet but we had a great dinner! We went to Pilot House on the river. We have not been there for months. We started off with a bottle of Prosecco and creamy crab dip! My wife ordered Blackened Redfish and I had the Chicken Paillard . Both were delicious and made a great way to look forward to a new adventure! Not only is the food superb the service we received was equally top notch! Our Server Aly D was professional, friendly and made sure our evening was great success. This is why after the summer visitors go home we have a great food community and many months of enjoyment!
Their slogan "Seafood With Local Flair"... Please just give up the "flair" and serve good food. Trying to make dishes fancy doesn't make them better. Close to 10/10 for atmosphere, inside was cute and looked freshly painted, we sat outside on the patio with the view of the river. We were the only ones out there while other restaurants in view seemed much much busier. One couple sat down and walked away after seing the menu, and honestly, that's what we should've done too. But, I was trying to be optimistic and try something new. The menu was extremely small and didnt have much that looked appetizing. We ordered 2 bloody Mary's that came in small, fancier looking glasses. They were alright, but, we did feel a little "gypped". For an appetizer we got the crab dip, which was decent,
