Everything is good , average restaurant. Steak was below average and over salted. Server a little bit questionable too , like there was something wrong with him for sure. Fries were amazing.

Service was quite poor. Although the waitress took our order and was pleasant answering our questions! That was as far as it went. We never got our drinks and then when the appetizer came which was delivered by another waitress who super nice. we have to waive down our waitress and asked about the drinks she said oh yes let me get those for you! We were about the only table there on a Sunday afternoon at 1 pm. She had been standing behind the bar talking to one customer the whole time. The food was good NOT Amazing... Pasta was only warm! others at the table were happy with the food.. Overall food was good but Service was not good at all. I don't think this person really wants to be doing that JOB. Maybe they should be a bartender they seemed to be more comfortable in that environment.

My sister was visiting the island and arrived on a Friday evening, although the restaurant was booked up (recommend booking a reservation which we did not have ) they did have a secondary dining room for overflow . We were seated and served promptly. I am not one to write reviews but the main reason I wanted to write this was because our server Sarah , was quite possibly one of the best servers we have ever had . Period. She was so down to earth , friendly, knowledgeable and personable , she definitely made the experience awesome . The food was good too. Cheers

We had an amazing dinner here 2days ago, my family and me we enjoyed a lot. I highly recommend the seafood chowder and steak&parm, the steak is perfect tender and tasty i love it ! I also tried Futtucini, there's grounded bacon in the sauce, enriches the texture of the tagliatelle. My mom ordered the daily soup made by the sweet potato, good for a vegetarian! Pork Bao is quite simiar to Taiwanese steet food Gua Bao, my husband said it had good flavour as starter, however, it used peanuts instead of sweet peanut powder on it, the flavour could be slighty different though. Buddha Bowl quoted from my father was good too. The service was great, responded and warm. The atmosphere is cozy and the light felt a bit romantic haha. For the 1st night dinner in charlottetown, nothing to complain, well done the kitchen !

Had a nice dinner at Pilot House. We were seated in the adjacent bar, which wasn't as cozy as the restaurant but it was raining out and we were just glad to be accommodated. Decent chowder and fettuccine. Buddha bowl was okay, not amazing. Wait staff was excellent and very attentive.

I was looking for a quiet restaurant for supper after driving all day. It's a short 5 minute walk from the Bed and Breakfast that we were staying at. It didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was perfect, the service great, and the food awesome! We had the nachos and the spinach dip. It was a wonderful portions and just right. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The Pilot House has to be one of the best restaurants I've eaten at on the East Coast (NB/NS/PEI). I had the Tuna Poke bowl, and I was very happy with how many veggies there were. Often, places have this on the menu, and it is 90% rice with a tiny bit of veggies and protein. This was definitely not the case. It was a massive portion with just the right amount of rice, tons of edamame, tomato, cucumber, avocado, cabbage, and marinated tofu. I actually could not finish it! The others at my dinner table had the fish and chips and the chicken crepes. Both were very impressed, with large portions and delicious flavors. Well worth it! I wish Fredericton had a restaurant like this.

I do love the food here. That s why willing to pay more. But this is the second time I ordered by phone ( as no online ordering here)for pickup and obviously they did not even start the order when I arrived.Asking me what it was I ordered. I had to wait again for 40 mins. Like I said 2nd time this happened.

It used to be one of our favorite restaurants but weve seen the menu change over the years and weve found several restaurants that we now prefer over the pilot house. I had the Budda Bowl but the broccoli (one of the ingredients) should not have been included, having been way past fresh. To the credit of management my meal was comped.

Had a great meal and amazing service. The cook James made me a wonderful Alfredo meal and my man had the seafood chowder with a lobster roll.

Great welcome by the staff, our table was inside where it was very noisy. We asked a table outside and the oatio was great with heaters. Service was prompt, friendly and the waitress came rapidly to check for the food, which was excellent. Warm plates and tasty, I had the salmon and my friends had the fettuccine and chicken. I split my ambiance rating between the too noisy interior and the nice patio.

Best meal we had in all of PEI. The vegetables were so flavourful, such a nice variety. I had the crepes, the filling was delicious. My husband had the scallops, it was beyond his expectations. So perfectly prepared/flavourful and nice portion. The fresh baked bread was an added surprise. Can t wait to go back again. It is a MUST. Nice patio too.

Went to this place for dinner. Not sure how could it receive so many recommendations, but our first hand experience was quite negative: 1. The complementary bread was served cold (cold with butter?) It seems like a mistake but actually not. 2. It took about 50 minutes for the 3 dishes to be served. The duck was extremely chewy (its flavor was fine though); the rice in the poke bowl was half cooked(!?); the ribs were OK (the potato fries were good). 3. Even with more than half of the ribs left, this restaurant didn t even ask if any boxes were needed. Would not recommend.

June 21, 2024

me and my significant other had just came here tonight and we were wildly disappointed in food and service we were served tonight. to start off, we were seated relatively quickly (roughly 30 seconds) and all was usual. we ordered drinks and it took a couple of minutes to get our drinks which wasnt a big issue. a couple minutes later we place our order: a half dozen raw oysters, fish and chips, and steak and parm frites. after about 15 minutes of waiting, we finally get our raw oysters, which was ordered as just an appetizer. we thought this was extremely long for a wait for just oysters and shouldve realistically only taken 5 minutes, especially because there was only about 10 consumers at the restaurant total. another thing with the oysters is that they gave us only 5 oysters instead of 6, but this was quickly corrected. we both got refills on our drinks (at slightly different times) after we had the oysters and i got mine relatively quick without issues, and my partners drink took 5 minutes to get, and for roughly 3 of those, it was just sitting on the bar, in plain view. it took another 15 minutes to get our entrees, so 30 minutes total after order. i got the steak rare and it came out cooked properly which was good, however there was absolutely no parm on the dish, which was highly disappointing, the chimichurri was extremely peppery and was overwhelming the taste of almost everything else. it was impossible to tell that this was marinated in chipotle peppers and was an extremely small portion of meat. Additionally the fish and chips that were ordered were lukewarm, and so was the coleslaw, however the fires were extremely hot. after this meal my partner who ordered the fish and chips felt ill and the food didnt sit well with myself either. overall the service was slow, food was mediocre, and the experience was lackluster for the rating of the restaurant.

A great stop for brunch or lunch (I have not been here for dinner but imagine it is good as well). The big breakfast is, well, big! And very tasty. My brunch partner had the seafood chowder and really enjoyed it. The service was great and the only detractor was that the interior is a bit plain. I like decluttered spaces but there is a lack of warmth. But I will definitely recommend this place.

In Charlottetown for a short time. Too short, but enough time for a nice lunch of PEI mussels. Pilot House had good reviews here on Google and totally lived up to them. Mussels were outstanding, and the bread, vital to sopping up the broth mussels are cooked in, was outstanding as well. Five stars, highly recommend.

December 21, 2023

Food quality and proportion was fine, however; what really bothered me was the waitress attitude. She was on edge and we were trying to take a photo and she was making statements like DO NOT BLOCK THE WAY! With high volume of voice. There are more respectful ways of reminding people of the fact that you need to pass by us. Or a friend of mine asked if the food is ready and she again responded I HAVE only TWO HANDS, I DONT WANNA BE RUSHED! . What s more, at the end, she herself, put in the amount of tip herself, no choice given as if we were loving in a dictatorship a staggering tip of 20% without us getting a choice to refuse it. We remained silent but that means you lost our business

I went to Pilot House Saturday night, the taste of the food is good, the cocktails are amazing. However, the freshness of their seafood was not good recently. Last time (not too long after Fiona) I went for lunch and ordered Haddock, the fish was bad and very smelly. I told the server and they did not charge me for the haddock, and I ordered another dish. Customer service was 10/10. This time we went for dinner and ordered mussels, there was 5 or 6 bad mussels in the plate, and overall freshness was not as expected. I know I am sensitive about seafood, but when I went to Pilot House before and during the pandemic, I never had bad experience. During the past few months, I found their quality control was not as good. My friend reflect the similar issue too. Pilot house used to be my top choice for a date night, I hope the food can be as previous. Please contact me if you would like me to edit the review, I am sorry for leaving a 3-star review this time. Best, Aiping

Great atmosphere, our server was amazing. The food is a bit overpriced for the quality. I dont recommend the layered pressed potato cake contraption that came with my herb crusted salmon even though thats not what the menu said it came with. I found it very greasy ,bland and undercooked. So overall for a 200$ meal I was definitely not pleased. We wont be returning here again for food.

We were really looking forward to eating at the Pilot House but ultimately left disappointed. I had the scallops and brisket, the flavors didnt really go together well and the vegetables were drenched in raw garlic. My wife loves garlic and even she said it was basically inedible.

Came in as a walk-in and wouldnt have had time to sit and eat due to it being a Friday night. In a rush to watch Anne & Gilbert in a little more than 1.5hrs. We ordered take out but then the manager (sorry, forgot your name) said a table opened up and if we chose, could sit and experience the restaurant instead. We chose to stay and found out it was the right move. From the beginning, the two greeters were amazing -helpful and friendly. Also our server who recommended the No Boats On Sunday Cranberry Cidar, Maddy. Atmosphere was lively and the food was great. Only thing better was the service and kindness by the staff.

We fell upon this phenomenal restaurant and it turned out to be the best food we had while visiting PEI and argumentatively the best dining experience we ve ever had! Staff were beyond friendly upon arrival, the patio with like music and interior designs of the restaurant was so inviting and our waiter (sorry forget his name but he was a Fleming teacher) was beyond friendly and we enjoyed our conversations with him! Now onto the food, WOW! First off, we were shocked with how reasonably priced all of the food was! We started with nachos and for our mains, we had the Panko chicken my husband is still raving about it, my son ordered the best burger he s ever had in his life and my daughter had some awesome mussels and I had the haddock AMAZING! I am a pescatarian (vegetarian who eats fish and dairy) and I also have celiac. The menu was very clearly marked as to which items were gluten free or gluten free option. Having celiac and eating out can often be frustrating so I appreciate restaurants like The Pilot who include gluten free options on their menu and most importantly the food was incredible! Will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant!! Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options!

There were a couple of minor issues with the food, but the staff took care of it right away. Everything was flavourful. The sticky pudding was an amazing ending to the meal.

Recommended. Varied menu with moderate to higher priced items. Service staff friendly and attentive. We ordered the chichen alfredo and the chicken/broccoli crepes; both were tasty and moderately priced. Old pub atmosphere (beam and brick) is quaint. Outdoor seating (both covered and open) is available. We noticed that reservations fill up quickly.

I hate to have to do this.. my husband and I look forward to eating at the pilot house every time we come back to the island. Last night we had our reservations, ordered steak and ribs and honestly the food was nothing short of disappointing. The ribs where tough, the steak was bland. Veggies were not seasoned, we were thoroughly underwhelmed. The server although was wonderful! Nothing against her and her service.

Food is fine but is completely ruined by the physical restaurant. I was seated in the area just as you enter T the side entrance. The room is boring and gives a sense of a diner. The decor is drab and uninspiring. zero ambiance. Also too cold. We were told to go there by a local so had no idea why to expect. I would not say that there was anything special about the food. It was just ok. I don t think I d go there again.

I was in port on a cruise ship and went to the Pilot House for lunch. Its a short walk and well worth it. The mussels were out of this world. The chowder could have used a little salt but was also quite good. Friendly service.

Great service and delicious food. We were able to get in one evening when the outdoor patio was open, or we wouldnt have been able to get in at all. Crab cakes were delicious, Caesar salad was freshly prepared and probably one of the best Caesars Ive had in ages. My wife had the power bowl and it was also delicious. We wanted to go again for dinner, but was fully booked and the weather changed so the patio wasnt open. Unfortunately we didnt get back for another meal before we left town. Id say reservations are recommended. Very popular place, especially when the cruise ships are in the harbor. The background music didnt really suit the demographic of the diners or enhance the meal vibe

This restaurant is right in the downtown area of Charlottetown. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the menu features were reasonably priced. I chose chicken and broccoli wraps served with hollandaise and side salad. Generous portion. Delicious. If I was serving this I would have put a little extra hollandaise on the side. My husband had seafood chowder and a Greek salad. Chowder was tasty but a little thin. Served with a biscuit he asked for a dinner roll but they didnt have any. However our waitress brought over some slices of herb bread and garlic butter. Overall good experience and we would return.

You can expect delicious food and great service in a cozy ambiance at the Pilot House. I especially enjoyed the calamari. This is a popular spot in downtown Charlottetown (with reasonable prices) so be sure to make a reservation.
