    Fantastic experience for a dinner the weekend after Christmas - don't miss the decorations of Old Sac and then having a delightful dinner at the Pilot House restaurant. My friend and i had the Caesar salad (just the right amount of garlic and dressing) and the short rib fettucine. OMG - the sauce and mushrooms with it - SO good. Ended with a cheesecake and tiramisu. A memorable dinner with different, elegant atmosphere than so many other restaurants

    This was my 3rd time eating here and I loved it just as much as the first time. I brought my mom and son for an after Christmas brunch. We ordered the French Toast, Kid’s 7th Street Standard Breakfast, and the Breakfast Burrito. Everything was incredible. The waiter told us about kids food options right before we ordered because those are not included on the menu. So happy I got the kid’s standard breakfast for my son. He ate the whole plate! The environment was quiet due to not a lot of rush right after Christmas but it was very enjoyable. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant to be around. Overall, the experience was superb. I will definitely be returning!
