    My first time at The Pilot House, and I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance and environment were really nice and open--you can tell it was recently renovated from the old setup. We were seated upstairs, which has a completely different vibe. I ordered a Bloody Mary and initially thought it just didn't have enough alcohol--turns out there was none at all, even though I was ID'd. Others in my party also felt like their drinks had little to no alcohol. The food portions were big, and everything came out fresh and hot. A little pricey, but that's probably expected given the location. Overall, the food was delicious, and I'd potentially come back.

    I love the local charm of the Pilot House Restaurant! There's a beautiful bar and seating arrangement on the first floor. Lots of boat decorations to make it extra nautical. There is a second floor, which feels more like a restaurant lounge with wide open spaces. You can also dine on top of a docked boat, which is connected to the second floor of the Pilot House. My friend and I got cocktails and fried fish bites. Absolutely delicious and a great atmosphere to enjoy with company!

    I ate at the Pilot House for the first time during my last trip to Maine. What a wonderful place! I went with a large party and we were seated upstairs, there were huge windows with beautiful views, the space was large and beautifully decorated. All 18 people I was with loved their meal, the service was excellent especially with such a huge group. We will be eating here again on our next visit as well!

    Went here for a private event and was perfect place. Huge venue with large windows overlooking the water. Ambiance was perfect and were able to have platters of snacks- pizzas, shrimp, fries. Great for a centralized buffet and perfect to hold tons or people. Really loved this spot and recommend

    Booked a boat tour and asked for a good local spot to eat. Pointed me to Pilot House and was glad I took the recommendation. Interior decor and views from second floor were amazing. Food was great and pricing was fair considering the location. Check them out when you're in the area.

    Lovely location! We were able to bring our dog up and sit on the porch. Lovely view of the harbor! The staff were very friendly and our server was great! We had coconut shrimp (yum!), fish tacos and fried clams. Highly recommend!

    First time experiencing The Pilot House was and the food was delicious! I had the Baked Haddock, while my boyfriend got the Baked Mac n' Cheese w/ Chicken. Both were absolutely to die for :) Service was great and the restaurant was decorated for the holidays -- beautiful!

    The clam chowder and steamers were good. Average compared to like placed. The ambiance was bright and clean. Wendy our server provided excellent service.

    We stopped by to try out the new digs since the last time we were here was in the old building, and the schooner was still floating nearby. The new building is much much bigger, having two floors and offering beautiful views from their large windows. When entering, you'll be coming in near their bar area, which is both busy and loud, and of to the right is a dining area that shares in the noise. The 2nd floor is substantially quieter, has its own bar, a nice seating area, and dining tables. I recommend putting for the 2nd floor. The food was very, very good, and the menu choices should satisfy most anyone's taste. The schooner is now a permanent attachment to the building and connected with an inclined walkway. It has a nice bar area with limited munchies and great views. It's a great spot to wait for your table or just to pop in for a fun experience. I don't recommend the schooner for those with mobility issues. There is plenty of parking available their prices seem reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes of the items and the novelty and setting within Kennybunkport. If you found this review helpful, please let me know by tapping the thumbs up. Thanks!

    Lobster roll.

    Enjoyed a nice lunch here while in town for a work trip. The construction is a bit distracting but it will be exciting to see what the new building looks like when it's completed. Most of our group ordered the lobster roll because, Maine. There was a relatively large piece of shell hidden in mine, but otherwise it was delicious.
