We were actually headed to Calypsos and happen to see this place next door. We spoke to some locals in the parking lot who really recommended The Pilot House so we decided to give it a try. We enjoyed sitting on the deck by the water. My kids walked around the dock looks at boats until their food arrived. This was the best meal we had during our stay in Key Largo. The special was shrimp and lobster in a butter wine sauce with butter rice.......which was amazing. The fried shrimp and clams were the best I have probably ever had. We loved our waiter who was from Nashville. We will most certainly come back The Pilot house again and again.-AlleycatAtlanta_GA (Trip Advisor)
We were staying at the Kawama Yacht Club in Key Largo and found the Pilot House within walking distance of our accommodation.
Situated on a Marina, it was just a great place to chill out with a beer at the end of the day.-Jacquie from the UK (Trip Advisor)
...it was a good call. We sat outside on the deck which has a bar and some tables and a cool view of the marina and all the yachts and sailboats. Inside has a real nice big bar and even more tables and is fancier than outside.Food and service were great. Both owners talked to us and seemed to be genuinely happy that we were there and that they were running the place. A cool place to hang out on the water and reasonable prices too. I would like to go back again.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Special mention to out waiter Brian - above & beyond.Food was great, same sort of things as Ballyhoos but half the price and popular with the locals, which Ballyhos isn't. Overall if the locals go there it must be good. Live entertainment nightly, buzzing bar owner that comes and chats with you, opportunity to feed the fish and tables right on the boardwalk by the marina. Thought the glass floor bits were great - you could watch the fish under your table !

We had a nice evening at this restaurant with our teen and tween. We sat outside which is on a marina. When we arrived, a huge shore bird (sorry, don't know the species) was sitting on the railing like he belonged there. He got a few snacks from the patrons before flying off. After ordering, the kids walked around looking at the boats and down at the fish in the water. -Trixietg, Chagrin Falls, Ohio (Trip Advisor)
