   The restaurant was nice, the views great, but the food was not. The vegetables were cold, the pork chop cold and not fully cooked. Way too expensive to be served cold/uncooked food!

   Do not go here. Ever. This was a $400 meal with the worst service I’ve ever received. Everyone we interacted with except the busser was difficult. The host/manager seemed offended we had checked wine and a cake with hotel reception (something they said was fine since the restaurant wasn’t open yet). She kept talking about how it would take her 3 minutes to get there to the point that I said we could go get it. She got it for us, but it took more like 30 minutes.Our martinis took almost 40 minutes to arrive and were wrong. Getting olive juice and a second olive each was a nightmare because the bartender seemed angry at us that the server rang in dry instead of dirty like we asked for-giving a very rude lecture to my boyfriend about how we ordered wrong and then saying olives were “downstairs” so they’d be hard to get. Food started to arrive over an hour later, it was okay but didn’t nearly make up for the service. We opened our own champagne after the server asked if we were going to or wanted her to-I’ve never paid that much for a dinner and not had it assumed I wanted actual wine service. Wild. We also shared three flutes because one was dirty and despite asking no one brought a fourth until the bottle was nearly done. We ordered a white after and she brought the bottle and just set it down on the table- she seemed surprised when we asked for glasses and at that point we told her we’d just open it ourselves because otherwise who knows when we’d get it.Throughout the meal everything took forever and many things seemed impossible to get because the staff would need to go downstairs-why are you keeping basic things downstairs if it’s such a hassle? Finally we closed out, getting our cards back took so long that we walked onto the deck to take pictures and then the server left our checks at the host stand and we paid there like a Denny’s. The poor server clearly hasn’t been trained at all, so I don’t blame her-but we’ll never be back and we suggest you go elsewhere

   I thought I'd bring my family here for a special celebration but there was really nothing special about this place. Go to a mom n pop shop instead, save some money and have more flavorful food.

   Needs a menu revamp. I had Cajun pasta which had good flavor. My other half had chicken which was flavorless. Hopefully they will be able to bring it back. Such a cool boat!

   Ambiance, service and overall experience was very nice! Never been there before despite 30 years of living in the area. The food, while very good was somewhat limited in choice, but delicious non the less.

    This is a fun place to visit. I can't say the food was great, more like "Meh". The food was salty (Cesar Salad) and I ordered the Salmon with Couscous which was fine. I would order the chicken club sandwich or a burger and fries in the future (the fries were really good) We celebrated a birthday and the whole restaurant sang for the birthday girl! We met a table full of wonderful ladies and that was great!

    Fabulous meal. We were seated at a table by the window, with a river view. Quiet, serene dining room. Our mushroom appetizer, drinks, Kobe burger and Norwegian salmon entrees were delicious. Service was excellent, non-intrusive. Want a unique, special occasion or date experience aboard a historic river boat? This IS THE PLACE!

    We were spending the night on the boat and decided to dine there. The dining room is very nice and it is relaxing sitting next to the river. We both had chicken for dinner. It was moist and tasty. The mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe were also very good. Service was great.

    Calamari was good. Cajun Linguini was super, super salty. I did not eat most of it. They asked if it was a birthday and we said yes. They did nothing for said birthday. Overall it was a nice time, however.

    Mediocre food, greasy fish, overcooked swordfish. Asked for water early, never got it. Asked for malt vinegar for the fish, food came and about 15 minutes later the vinegar. Waitress said, sorry it’s seems tougher on a slow day! There were only 3 couples in the dining area and now I know why.

    Extremely gracious. I booked a table for Sunday Brunch through their website which connected me to Opentable only to find when we arrived that 1) The restaurant was only open to hotel guests, 2) They were not serving brunch, and 3) They stopped serving breakfast at 10 AM, the exact time of our reservation. Nonetheless, they seated us, apologized profusely, and did not charge us for the meal. They also vowed to fix their website at once, so this problem should not reoccur. Anyone interested in dinning there should contact them directly. I believe they may be relaxing their guests only policy as COVID restrictions are lifted. I did not stay in the Delta King Hotel, but if they treat their guests as the restaurant treated us, you will be well taken care of.

    The Delta King was a bit on more on the expensive side of moderate but in the end well worth it. The food and service were top notch. The dinning experience on the water was also great. A special thanks to Scarlet who went out of her way from first entrance to last goodbye to make sure everything was perfect.

    Food was fantastic. Try the soup of the day. Both the Potato leek soup or the Clam chowder are the best. It would be hard for me to choose one. Hope you get Scarlet to wait on you. Love this girl.

    Our host and waiter were both attentive and friendly. The bartender was a bit loud and obnoxious, we heard her speaking profanely during our lunch. The menu is lacking, we were expecting more options for a Sunday brunch. The fish and chips were a little disappointing, like they were fried in old oil. The mushrooms were fantastic. The tilted table which our glasses kept sliding on could easily be remedied by placing a coaster on the table or leveling the base.

    Service was impeccable. Everyone was really friendly and fun. Appetizers and drinks good bit main dishes mediocre and not memorable. Nostalgic place to dine service and location is the best part of the Pilothouse. Go to the bar upstairs order appetizers and drinks and call it a day.
