Pilot

Loved it and enjoyed it very much! Very special location and experience

Pilot is a very special restaurant as it is located on a retired sailing boat tied to Brooklyn’s Pier 6. You dine on deck with wonderful views of Manhattan‘s southern tip, and the Pier 11/Wall St ferry port. We came by ferry, the ride itself being a nice experience. The restaurant is specialized in oysters - you can choose between a variety of different oysters, but also different starters, mains, and desserts. While the oysters were amazing, we found food to be rather bland and uninspired. Service was ok, but could have been more attentive and friendly. It seems that the restaurant mainly benefits from its unusual venue and location… In hindsight, we would only have come for a drink and some oysters before heading off to another place for dinner.

Really beautiful view, lovely to eat on deck. Some of the food was great (fresh and clean oysters, nice pickled veg. assortment, well-cooled trout filet). The chowder was served still very cold in the center. Drinks were OK. The hostess was welcoming and helpful. Oysters preparers were happily chatting with us as they worked. Servers were nice but not around much- they had a lot of area to cover. It's not cheap (almost $50 for a dozen oysters). But, eating topside on a small clipper ship with a view of downtown Manhattan is hard to beat!

Can't beat the atmosphere: a beautifully modified wood sail boat bobbing along the East River just across from the Southern tip of Manhattan. Great sunset views. The food was fantastic: delicious oysters, amazing lobster roll and the scallops were perfect. Service was polite and attentive.

Awesome views of Manhattan!
