About The Pilot House

The Pilot House restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience with phenomenal food and a delightful, quaint atmosphere in a beautiful southern home overlooking the Cape Fear River. The unmatched, uniquely gorgeous riverside view is a major highlight, especially at sunset or with the lights on the river at night. The food is extremely delicious, featuring fresh, chef-inspired seafood and other entrées. Specific praised dishes include the grouper, the steak, the she-crab soup, and the Tuna Poke Bowl. While serving sizes can be a little small, the food is consistently described as great, perfect, and excellent.

The service is outstanding, excellent, and acceptable, with staff going out of their way to create special and memorable experiences. The overall atmosphere is unbeatable, combining riverside charm with a super quaint setting. It is a favorite for both lunch, with occasional ships passing by, and dinner, making it a top-choice restaurant for celebrations and casual visits alike.

Staff was awesome some people where ignorant playing tough guy

Terrible experience. Went for my daughters birthday dinner. I got the sesame tuna and my wife got the lamb lollipops. Both came out cold and they weren’t even busy. Spent over $300 plus the tip and will never be back. Waitress left a lot to be desired as well. Such a shame.
