Pilot is a celebrated oyster bar aboard one of America's most historic wooden sailboats. Over the course of Pilot's nearly 100 year history, she's led many lives: as a contender to be the fastest sailboat in the world, as the country's longest serving pilot ship, and as a research vessel that circumnavigated the world twice.
“Dining on a boat in the Brooklyn Bridge Park was a wonderful treat from the spectacular views to the small but fresh seafood forward menu. There is truly no bad seat in this place, though I will try to snag a reservation at the table at the bow of the boat for my next visit 😋 Bear in mind that you are eating on a docked boat, so expect some rocking. Probably not the best choice for those who are prone to motion sickness.”
“Oh, this place is definitely saved in my good vibes and experience Google folder. Amazing boat bar, with scenic Manhattan sunset views. Oysters 🦪, French fries and Negroni were our choices. We brought our friend while showing the city. She was very surprised and impressed, so am I. Recommending for sure. Thank you”
“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)! I can't wait to return here, the vibes are immaculate and I will definitely be back!”
“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 Manhattan.”
“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 hash brown was cute and tasty. The shrimp were kind of soggy and small in the chilled shrimp dish. Ceviche was way too acidic overpowered the rest of the dish. The scallops were excellent and looked beautiful. Fellow dining companions enjoyed their lobster rolls. The ragu was weird to me. Didn't have enough personality for a vegetarian dish, but the boyfriend enjoyed it. We did send back our fries because they were ice cold but they sent back some hot ones. Nice cocktails. Amazing Irish manager who is incredibly charming. Our server was a little awkward and disorganized, but also gracious.”
