Finally tried this place after biking past so many times over the years, and after one missed reservation. We walked in and sat at the front bar on a Tuesday evening. We ordered strawberry cocktails and enjoyed the romantic sunset behind the cityscape. Love the yellow and white striped canopies over the tables. The fries with sage aioli and spiced ketchup were a bit too salty but perfectly fried and crispy. It was a complementary pairing with the watermelon tomato salad with shiso. Had to taste the chocolate gateau made for two garnished with rum-pumped raisins and served with three small scoops of ice cream. Honestly, I wish the proportions of ice cream were in line with the cake. Could've used several more perfect bites. Anyway, the bar seating was decent, we had to move once because they seated us near the silverware rollers which was pretty noisy and also blocking our view. We had asked to be seated at the 10+ empty tables but they said none were available and by the time we had left, those tables were still empty. So I recommend making a reservation if you want an actual table. read more

I took myself for a date to this incredible restaurant last weekend. The best part about eating solo is not having to share. Is that the worst part? Either way, I enjoyed every single bite. Even though I didn't have a reservation. ,they were kind enough to accomodate me at the perfect table with the most perfect view.. literally! All of the staff, from the hostess to the bartenders to the servers were all extremely friendly and hospitable. Food wise, I ordered the Polpette (Sirloin and brisket meatballs with tomato compote and basil garlic toast), Sea-Scallops (Seared dayboat-scallops with sweet-corn succotash and coriander emulsion) and also... the french fries. Of the three, the meatballs was certainly my favorite however each really held their own.. and yes, even the french fries! I washed it all down with a delicious ice-cold Sundae draft. I can't wait to come back, perhaps with a friend or date. In the meantime, I have fond memories with myself here to look back on. 5/5! read more

Bringing a child to Pilot, a floating sailboat with cocktails and seafood, is the absolute height of bougie parenting. On second thought, the fact that I think that probably means I've never been near the true highs of bougie parenting. No matter. Sitting and sipping $18 cocktails with expansive views of the Manhattan skyline, with a summertime breeze to boot...it's nice. I like it. The seafood is good, the service is usually great, and although your bill is going to be higher than you might like, you're essentially paying for a vacation without having to leave Brooklyn. I've heard you can also go without your kid, but I don't get to do much without my kids these days. Don't worry though, I only go right after they open, so as not to bother childless folks with my questionable life choices. read more

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 and tomatillo. The hash browns was well cooked and just perfect and you can pair with the steelhead caviar, sour cream and pickled onions and transcend the flavor to the next level. The lobster roll was buttery and surprising with a generous amount of lobster! I added the leftover caviar on top of it and it's full of seafood umami flavor. At the end, I had the key lime mousse and the gateau, and the gateau was a delicious crumbly chocolaty cake/cookie mixture, I couldn't finish it because I was too full but I wish I could have. read more

I love the summertime. I love boats. Most of all, I love food. All 3 combined, I loved everything about Pilot. The views were unbeatable. Actually, breathtaking Pilot is one of several boat restaurants by the same hospitality group. I visited Grand Banks several years ago and really enjoyed my experience. With Pilot on my bucket list, I passed by last year and recalled the hostess strongly recommending a reservation as tables book quickly. No surprise there. Everyone wants in on this glorious experience. However, with the weather being unpredictable yesterday, we walked right in and landed a table. Our server, the lovely Alexa, informed us that many cancelations took place. The weather was just how I liked it--hot, humid, overcast and the true definition of a July summer day. Gradually, people started arriving and the capacity was nearly filled. The menu was mainly seafood with raw oysters taking the stage. There was a brunch and a lunch/dinner menu. Due to the time we arrived, we browsed the latter. Cocktail selections were interesting. When the Mariner didn't work for us, Alexa kindly replaced it with the IKO IKO which was refreshing and delicious. Recommend! We shared the Crudo as a starter, which at $20, should have been skipped in retrospect. Although it was good, it was not only too skimpy to share but just a teeny portion overall. For main, we both selected the Steelhead Trout. Even though it was Trout, it could easily be mistaken for Salmon. Upon being served, it included two delicate, crispy seared pieces on a crema sauce with three fingerling potatoes. Definitely enjoyed it. Definitely delicious and highly recommend. Other selections on the menu were salads and lobster roll, but happy I chose the Trout. It was executed very well and flavorful/healthy. I really enjoyed my lunch experience at Pilot. What to know--the boat is docked but moves. I didn't mind since it enhanced the experience for me. Really nice spot. Go! read more

I pass by this boat every time I do my evening runnings at the Brooklyn Pier, so finally got the chance to take the boyfriend here. If you plan to dine, be sure to make reservations ahead of time. I was lucky and scored a day of resy at 8:30pm, which was prime time during the summer to witness the sky go from light to dark. I highly recommend it since you get two different vibes of the beautiful NY skyline. We arrived early for our reservations and were welcomed to grab a drink at the bar in the time being. Since the bar was packed, we got our drinks and sat at the end of the boat, which was perfect. Honestly, I'd suggest getting a drink and enjoying the view here instead of actually dining in as the food is very pricey and small. Soon enough, we were led to our table. We did have prime seating that was away from other and a perfect view of the skyline. For drinks, I had the Mariner ($17) and Get On Up ($17). The drinks was good as I really liked the refreshing flavor of elderflower and matcha in the Mariner. Since we were both a bit hungry, we got a small bite. I had the Lobster Roll ($32) and the boyfriend got the Polpette ($21). Both dishes were tiny and overpriced; would not get again. Not really impressed with the food, but the drinks and view makes this place worth checking out. It's not often you find a boat you can dine on. Of course, do note that you are on moving water so it was not the best experience for someone who gets seasick. read more

If the food of the Battleship Potemkin sparked a revolution, the Caesar salad aboard this particular vessel might just spark a revulsion. I do expect to pay a premium for mediocre offerings when offered a quality view, but my girlfriend and I both agreed that the pungent hearts of palm and stale croutons, as well as some unpleasant cocktails, simply left too much to be desired. read more

My friend and I came here spontaneously cause we happened to pass by and was like "oysters on a boat??" Downnnn!! Even though both of us get motion sickness. A price I had to pay. We got lucky cause we got seated right away during sunset. Ordered some oysters and cocktails which were good. Eventually, the rockyness did get to me and I had to go to the bathroom to throw up. Unfortunately dramamine makes me too drowsy and the bracelets don't work. I may have to resort to the silly goggles. read more

Go for the views and stay for the views! This was a bit of a last minute dinner on a Monday evening -- we were able to grab a reservation two hours before dinner and were seated at the "bar," where you can watch the oysters being shucked. It felt like an especially windy/choppy evening with stuff kinda flying around, but that didn't let anyone down. It couldn't have been easy but our server held the everything down, so big props to him. Loved everything that we ordered and shared: lobster salad, tomato and watermelon salad (bursting with flavor), truffle fries (ordered twice lol), oysters and meatballs. We didn't get alcohol due to the rocky waters and instead got their non-alcoholic drinks. It all came out to $85/pp and I wouldn't say I was stuffed, so you're definitely paying for the views/experience! I'll try brunch on the boat another time. read more

What a unique place to be having food and drinks!! The weather was perfect the day we went but might be more challenging during rainy or windy times. We ordered a couple of bottles of wine and discovered that it's tap served. So you could actually try before making up your mind. Scallops could have been better seasoned but the aïoli that they serve with fries goes well with scallops too. Lobster roll was tasty. Get the fries if you think you might be still hungry. Service was a bit slow but we didn't care since we had our wine and loved the rocking of the boat. Great views of the lower manhattan! read more

Pilot is serving up delicious food on the water with speculator views. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a nice summer evening and watch the sunset. I had an amazing evening here. We sat at the Captain's table which is one of the best seats on the boat. Service was fantastic. We both ordered the Lobster Roll which comes with a side salad. The Lobster Roll was refreshing and tasty. Highly recommend this dish. Definitely order a side of fries as well. It's the perfect pairing. Highly recommend dining at this restaurant! 10/10 experience. read more

Overall rating: 4.5 I didn't have a problem with a service or small portions, but I probably won't be going back. I went on a Sunday around 1 and I deffff got sea sick. No fault to the restaurant, so no shade. But I didn't love the food for the price. I got blue point oysters and they were not good. Pretty disappointing. I'm from baltimore so I will admit I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to seafood. The lobster roll was also not good. Too much mayo. Did not help with the sea sickness at all unfortunately. I also thought the fries were too salty. I did get a vodka cocktail & that was good! The gorgeous view is also definitely a plus. Maybe the other dishes are better, and will comment that the service was very good! But I probably won't go again. read more

Pilot was like a dream throughout the entire experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, the company was delightful, and the food and drinks were delightful. I came here with my boyfriend in late June. He had made reservations a couple weeks beforehand, and when you make a reservation you put a $50 deposit down per person. This deposit goes toward your meal. It was the perfect evening and we watched the gorgeous sunset from the dock before being welcomed aboard. We were seated a little after our reservation time, but nothing too dramatic. We could tell the host was stressed, and didn't have anywhere to be, as this was the main event of the evening. Diners seated around us weren't completely happy because the oysters weren't coming out quickly, and you are only given 1.5 hours to dine and they are strict on that time limit when they have other parties after you. One table near us left without getting their oysters, because of the time limit. I thought that was pretty crappy, because it wasn't their fault that they didn't get their entire meal. It was hard to watch. Our guess was that someone quit mid-service that night, which is why there was such a delay in the shucking of oysters. We ordered the grand banks, which included 2 dozen oysters from various areas that we could try. We didn't get these oysters until after our entrees. We were fine with this, because you don't need much room for oysters, but it would have been better if they were served before dinner. The oysters were wonderful and we were both in heaven. My boyfriend ordered Iko Iko drink, which tasted very good. I had the Get on Up, which had elements of heat to it. I enjoyed it. For our appetizer we ordered the caviar hash brown. It was the first time I had caviar, and it was scrumptious. I like the popping in my mouth. Everything paired well together. I had the soft shell crab for my main meal, and my boyfriend had the steelhead. Both were amazing meals and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The bathrooms are in the back, and could have been a little cleaner. All in all this was a really fantastic experience and we enjoyed it. I would come back, but there are so many other places to try in NYC when visiting. I would definitely recommend making reservations and experiencing this though. The boat is docked, but there is movement, so if you don't have your sea legs, maybe you shouldn't eat here. read more

Came to pilot on a Sunday evening to watch the sun set over the NYC skyline. The boat itself is so cute, and there are some great phot angled on the top and back of boat. I appreciated they could our party number change from 4 to 5 last minute. We ordered some mock tails and I got the Tropicana cocktail which was good but not very strong. The gin and champagne cocktail, forget the name, tasted exactly like a mimosa and I wasn't too impressed with it. We ordered the luster platter which was a sampler of all their different oysters for $70, and you get 2 dozen. Fiscally, it's the best bang for your buck and they were SO GOOD! Comes with a trio of sauces too and we were all pleased. Also got the fries- they taste like McDonald's fries but without the added grease and shame. The aoli for dipping was good but the ketchup kinda weird it has some additives. For $8 the portion isn't grand but hey it's NYC. We also got the ceviche which was an explosion of flavor. Loved it. The best part was our waitress- Jennifer maybe? She took pictures for us, was so sweet and knowledgeable on the menu and even managed to time the oysters to come out right when our last friend joined us after his work call- she knew he was on the pier and kept an eye out for when he was done and walking down. VERY ATTENTIVE. I'm so sorry I can't remember her name but we were the table off 5 with a 5 pm reservation on Sunday the 24th! Woukd definitely come back. read more

Loved the experience of sitting on a boat rocking in the waves to enjoy a few cold libations after a sweaty 5K race. Moored at Brooklyn Bridge Park we had a lot of fun chatting with the friendly crew and staff while having drinks and snacks. Small menu but just right for being on a boat. Plus, the fresh raw bar was fun to sit at watching the oysters being shucked and plated. Tasty cocktails, cold beers, friendly staff, and terrific views on a beautiful day.

Pilot - Shrimp cocktail and oysters - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you're looking for a fun summer spot, Pilot is worth a visit. Breakdown of my 5 star (rounded up) review below: Atmosphere/Service: 5 Stars Beautiful ship and gorgeous views of the city skyline. Tables were nicely spaced out and service was attentive and very welcoming. Easy to make a reservation online (requires $25 deposit per person that goes towards your final bill). While the reservation was limited to 2-hours, I didn't feel rushed at all by the staff. Try to book a table around sunset so you can see both the skyline view during the day and at night. Drinks: 5 Stars Excellent drinks - very unique and refreshing! Was able to try the Permanent Vacation and the Watermelon Mint Limonata (non-alcoholic). Cocktails were about $15, expensive but pretty standard for NYC. Food: 3.5 Stars This is where the restaurant fell a bit flat. I ordered a dozen oysters, a lobster roll, and french fries. Food was overall pretty good, but given the price ($27 for a lobster roll plus $8 for a side of fries), I would expect the food to taste better. Overall, a really enjoyable bar/restaurant that is worth adding to your list. Great place for a date night or casual catch up with friends. Pilot is a fun and unique experience, don't miss the views! read more

The pilot is a sister restaurant of Grand Banks so it definitely has the same layout and similar style menu but in Brooklyn. If you do get seasick a lot, this may not be the place because the boat tends to rock a lot. Great views, great service and I did enjoy the environment. I came here for brunch and I got the Grits (must!) Things I ordered: - Hearts of Palm Salad of hearts of palm, celery, mint, basil, romaine - Burrata with marjoram and Chianti vinegar marinated red peppers, fennel, arugula, cucumber, dill, chive oil, and olive tapenade - Grits, Andouille, and an Egg and Heirloom grits with cheddar cheese, sage and Aleppo pepper flakes, Andouille sausage, and an organic griddled egg read more

What a treat it is to walk down this stretch of the Pier to come upon Pilot, a gorgeous sailboat serving drinks and food that just reopened for the season. With limited capacity, it's definitely recommended you make a reservation to secure a spot. My group's visit was impromptu and already past last call, but the kind server allowed us on for one quick round of drinks because we were celebrating a birthday. In this stringent, rule based city, this little act of kindness really made our night. Thank you, kind sir. From pretty much all parts of the schooner you can take in gorgeous views of the city skyline. On a temperate night, gazing at the city lights, feeling the gentle breeze of the Brooklyn shore on your skin and sipping on a glass of wine, you can feel like you're in a different place, in a different time. Folks all around us seemed to be enjoying their meals, so be sure to check out their food menu if you visit. The cocktails I had on board were so great, probably in part because of the little escapism we were partaking in by being on a boat. The taste of freedom from staying inside doom scrolling is sweet. read more

Came here for the first time for my birthday dinner with a few girlfriends and it was a great experience! The food was very fresh and absolutely delicious (the caviar was fantastic; Polpette and Crudo were also very tasty).

The ambience and service was fabulous and the experience of dining on a sailboat with a beautiful view was so much fun! read more

4.8 stars. Good food and amazing views. Come on a beautiful night and you are treated with an amazing sunset. Service is average and the staff are very friendly. Wait could be an hour or more during busy nights and weekend nights. 1. Oysters - Limited selection but good in quality. 2. Lobster roll - Small but delicious. Def overpriced. 3. Lobster claws - Not much meat in these. Rather go for another roll. Overall, I'd come at least once. I'll probably be back for a date night. read more

A very cool ambiance, but you need sea legs for this restaurant. Depending on the wind/time of day, the swell in the water really rocks the boat.

The view was easily the best part. Had to send the lobster roll back because it arrived with a BIG FAT HAIR in the center of the plate. I'm not looking for freebies but they should comp the lobster roll in such cases and they offered nothing. Entrees were brought out before oysters, and one of the meals was forgotten so had to additionally wish for it to be prepared again. Staff was nonchalant about errors being made. Overall, the place is not worth the money based on the service and food received. Won't be going back. read more

Cool concept of eating on a boat by the water, but unfortunately it did not meet the mark. The food was mediocre and overpriced - the burrata felt more like mozzarella, and the oysters were not as fresh as I would have liked them to be.

*3.5 stars* Came for a friend's birthday dinner and had a good time. The place has spectacular views.

It was fine. If you're looking to spend time on a boat with really nice views of Manhattan and have a few drinks, then this is your place. If you're looking for all of the above plus a culinary experience, then I suggest you move along. Pilot is docked at Brooklyn Bridge Park so it takes some effort to walk from the Court Street subway station, about 13 minutes away. I should also mention that Pilot is on a small-ish boat so if you get seasick easily, you'll feel the motion of the ocean. My friend and I ate at Pilot this past weekend. It was sweltering outside. It had also just rained so the boat did more swaying than I would have liked [see small-ish boat above]. There were a few minutes where I wasn't sure if we were going to be staying. The service was not the greatest- until we were ready to pay our bill, which arrived speedily and was taken care of speedily. We shared the Oysters Champagne, half dozen [$25]. The oysters were very fresh and the diced cucumber on top was refreshing. The ice that the oysters were laying on started to melt and drip on my friend. It took a while for someone to retrieve the platter. I had the Lobster Roll [$27] which was on the smaller side. The bun was tasty, as it seemed to have been toasted in butter. The lobster meat, too, was fresh but the filling was otherwise forgettable. The "salad" on the side were a few pieces of lettuce with maybe some dressing. We also shared an order of fries [$8] which were fine. They were not as crispy as I would have liked - perhaps they were taken out of the fryer a minute or two too soon. My glass of Paul Louis [$15] was delicious, alas.. The bill came out to around $159 but we ended up paying $54 each at the time. They charge you $25 when you make a reservation, which ends up being credited to your bill in the end. I can confidently say, I don't need to make a return trip. read more

My friends and I came to Pilot one Sunday during May for lunch and drinks. I'd made a reservation about a month prior to coming, and could only get bar seating on our preferred time and date. Pilot, along with its sister bar, Grand Banks, are clearly popular places that require booking well in advance. At the time of booking, they also charge you $25 per person as a deposit, which will go towards the final cost of your bill. My friends got here a bit late, about 20 minutes after our reservation time. We ordered a dozen oysters to share, and each got one main dish. The food was nothing special. The wine was also sub-par. I had a rose which was served lukewarm. The service was friendly and attentive. They have a strict time limit on reservations and will warn you when it's time to go. This is a cute spot to have drinks in the early evening or on weekends, but would recommend going elsewhere for food. Bear in mind that the bar is on a boat, so it will be rocky. While none of us felt seasick, we did feel very shaky at the beginning, when we first got on. The ambience is the best thing about this place. In summer, there is not much that tops sitting in the sun and watching the Manhattan skyline with a drink in your hand. I may come back here because the ambience just can't be beat, but will try to eat elsewhere before coming. read more

The boat itself is super cool and it's dog friendly which is great for my pup. We sat in the bow which was great for the views but people were constantly scooting in directly behind us to take photos. A bit distracting. The boat can get rocky which is fine if you are good at sea; but if you are sensitive I'd say you could get a bit seasick. This is not good or bad just the reality. The drinks were good and well thought out but a bit pricey for what they were super used to expensive cocktails living in the city but these were just ok. Not bad but nothing crazy. The food was good but again, for the prices not spectacular there's better lobster rolls out there I think the weird kicker that led to the lower review was my partner who was feeling a bit sea sick asked if he could get a box for his lobster roll-- so as not to be wasteful but also so he could enjoy his meal and they said "sorry we don't have boxes." So you order a meal for $27 and you're not allowed to take it? It just goes in the trash. In this day and age that seems incredibly wasteful. Luckily there was some butcher paper on our fries so we were able to wrap the roll in that and take it. Last but not least after the box request the waiter "Christian" started acting super unfriendly, you think a business would respect if someone wasn't feeling well but didn't want to trash the food but instead he had some weird vibes after. Net net a good place to go once on a sunny day or take an out of town guest but besides the unique setting and nice views and history of the boat itself the food, drinks and service was mediocre at best read more

Food and drinks were good. Nothing to write home about but good. It was a fun location for a date night. The view and the sunset are the best part. We had a disappointing experience overall. We finished eating our main courses and our oysters never came so we had cancel them. The server was nice and apologetic and I felt bad for him, he said a big party that arrived after us kept ordering oysters, pretty disappointing to hear. The sturgeon caviar tin came open but it was fully submerged in the watery ice container and was a total mess, I was pretty annoyed because is an $85 appetizer but I did not want to say anything. I don't think I will be back because of the disappointing experience I had but I think it is worth to check out the place at least once. read more

I finally decided to check out and dine on The infamous restaurant on a boat right after work. I work in Brooklyn on Wednesdays so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity before seasonal daylight savings time. First of all, the scenery is stunning as you will want to take photos of NYC skyline as you're sitting on a boat. The boat is stationary and doesn't move but if you're there on a water choppy night, it may not be comfortable for you. I usually don't get sea sick but the choppiness was rougher. Frederick, my server was gracious to get me a ginger beer on the house. Also if you dine in the evening In September, take a sweater. It may get chilly. I ordered the trout caviar on hash browns which was scrumptious. Also you need a reservation at Pilot and they take $25 on hold during reservation. But the $25 is deducted off your bill. read more

It's a small boat. That does seafood. What does that mean? If you like eating oysters on a small boat you're going to LOVE this place. So why do so many people post lackluster or even negative reviews? Because they don't actually like being in a boat, but just like the idea of it. Small boats are: Rocky Open to the elements Limited in space BEAUTIFUL With the cons out of the way, we can talk about what makes Pilot so great - their seafood is actually very strong despite being a bit of a gimmick restaurant. They have a lengthy oyster selection and a great lobster roll too. Their cocktails are also very refreshing and strong, though on the smaller side. read more
