I really wanted to give Pilot Light 5 stars. I love the yellow accents, the tumbler, and the airfield views. I love the vibe and the simplicity of the menu. I love the energy and the friendliness.

Great place to have brunch before or after the tidepools. We ordered the Dutch baby pancake, lemon ricotta French toast, and the salmon toast. They were cooked perfectly! Delicious!

Other than the setting, the food was very average. The BLT was pretty dry, with all the ingredients being in the middle so the edges of the bread were plain. The fries were okay.

It may not be a true 5 star restaurant if this was just a pure food review, but the combination of the location , the yummy breakfast/brunch, the helpful staff and the pet friendly outdoor dining area make this one of my faves. The parking is easy, the food did take a while to get to the table but it was hot n fresh. The coffee was damn good too. We had eggs Benedict and chilaquiles and they were both really good. We’ll definitely be going back anytime we go to half Moon Bay.

Love this place! The Dutch baby is a must. I’m always impressed with the food and they use reusable cups, mugs, silverware and plates. Fun to watch the planes come and go while drinking coffee and enjoying great food. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Soft opening weekend. The restaurant is still getting its footing and it had lots of guests. The promise of this place is its location right next to the airport. I’m looking forward to trying it again.
