    My friends and I finally went to The Pilot after years of saying we have to some day. We were on the Rooftop Patio. The food was fantastic. The staff right on everything. We will be back and often.

    Pilot is my Toronto Rooftop patio so it never disappoints. Even though it was Alix's 2nd day on the job, she was a natural and made the evening pleasant and cheerful with her humour and awesome service --- she is a keeper!!!
    The PilotResponded on September 1, 2024

    We got there at 10:45 and sat down. The waitress told us that last call is at 11:30 which is understandable. We waited 20 mins for the rest of our party to get there and once they got there we quickly asked to order. At that moment the waitress asked us for ids even though noone was getting any drinks and then kicked us out because some of us didnt have anything on us. The service was not okay and she was very rude about it. If she had told us once we got there we wouldn’t have to pay for parking and waste our time at that place.

    Loved the rooftop ambiance but it would be different if the construction site next door had been in operation.
    The PilotResponded on September 1, 2024
    Thank you for writing us a review, Guy! We are hoping the construction comes to an end soon (As every neighborhood in Toronto these days), but are glad you enjoyed your visit nevertheless :) We hope to see you again soon!

    The PilotResponded on August 3, 2024
    Thank you for taking your time to review us. We are sorry to hear that the construction noise was disruptive to your experience, we are patiently waiting for all these condos to be done! We hope you will consider returning after construction hours when the rooftop is at its prime :)

    Due to the inclement weather, and having a reservation for the rooftop patio we basically had the place to ourselves, which was lovely. The food (smoked salmon flatbread and tuna poke bowl was amazing. The service was good but not great. But overall a place I’d come back to.
