Pilot House

A pretty nice place with great outdoor seating with a good view. Overall it was a good experience dining here, food was good, wine was perfect, my husband was happy with his beer as well. However, I ordered the Captains platter (fried flounder, jumbo shrimp, oysters, and sea scallops) and the oysters and scallops lacked any flavor. Covered in the frying butter they just didn’t taste like anything and were bland. The service was nice and friendly, and the bathrooms were clean. Overall I recommend trying this place out.

Chose to sit outside and enjoyed the sunny view of the river. The service was excellent. Shoutout to Emma. She was very welcoming and patient to explain to us each dish (because the menu has no pictures and it can be hard to visualize what you’re choosing). The place has very rustic and seaside vibe. The decor inside feels like a large cottage style home (felt quite unique). Outside, you’re near the boardwalk and you can see boats passing by. Enough parking space available. I would most likely lean more towards their seafood selection vs the poultry and meat. Again, you’re free to take what you want. But the place specializes more towards seafood so keep that in mind. Bathrooms are a little cramped and small, but they were clean. So that’s good. Overall, staff is very friendly.

I had dinner the other night with my husband and a couple of friends. We sat at the bar where Kyle made us delicious cocktails. He was an amazing server and bartender and gave us a great experience. The manager Chris came over to make sure that everything was going well and he was as kind as can be! We will absolutely be back for more laughs, drinks and scrumptious food. P.s order the side of Mac and cheese, you won’t regret it.

We enjoyed a late lunch. We ordered the grouper bites and the captains platter to split. We intended for the grouper bites to be an appetizer, but the waitress brought it all out at once. Not perfect, but still ok. The food, especially the flounder and scallops were stellar and perfectly prepared. The grouper bites were also terrific as well as the slaw and fries. Beautiful dining spot on the Wilmington waterfront. Well worth a visit.

The Pilot House is located on the Riverwalk in Wilmington. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. The restaurant is spacious and very clean with a great view of the water. We shared the pimento cheese appetizer and the shrimp roll for lunch. The pimento cheese should definitely be shared with the table. The shrimp roll was so tasty and the handmade chips were delicious as well. Service was on point and friendly. We would definitely go back. Parking is along streets in the area and possibly public parking, though we didn’t see any public lots.

Stopped on Sunday for brunch. Full lunch menue plus a few brunch specials. My family had crab soup. Lobster mac and cheese, ceaser salad. Fish special, and steak and eggs. All was delicious. View of river primo. Some GF items marked on menue. Bathrooms clean. The server is helpful and nice. Highly recommend. Still reading....Give this girl's review a like will ya?

We had a large party so we called a little in advance, and got sat immediately. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are a little average but you definitely full once you’re finished. Drinks are also very good! The Port City Punch was a group favorite. Also the restaurant is right on the pier so the view is amazing!
