"We were not impressed with the food the first time we ate here, so we thought we would give it one more try. I was not impressed the second time either. This time I tried the blackened red fish tacos. It took a long time for our food to come out, and it wasn't that busy. We arrived right at 11 AM, when they open so I don't understand why we had to wait so lo..." Read more

"With stunning views of the Manatee River and a golf cart ride to and from the parking area, our meal was already off to a good start. Dinner before the show at the Manatee Performing Arts Theater was very good, the service was also very good. My lemon drop martini was excellent. Prices are high for the menu served and during busy times service does suffer. A..." Read more

"Tried the Riverhouse just a few weeks ago with my Family. Once they figured out who was going to serve our table the experience started to improve. The food was good and apps were as well. Some good fish and very fresh."

"What a great find! Right on the water and saw a trio of dolphins playing in the river for entertainment during lunch today. Our waiter was excellent, very attentive and a great personality as well. First time here and definitely not the last. Had the shrimp and grits and it was cooked to perfection. And just the right size for lunch. Also split the chicken s..." Read more

"Walking to the end of the pier is well worth it to dine here. Almost every table offers a gorgeous view of the Manatee River. And the food is very good. It was our first time dining here and we would definitely return. And for those who can't do the walk there are shuttles."

"They were very accommodating for seating and separate checks. The food was excellent. There is golf cart shuttle service from the parking lot to the main entry. The driver also is willing to take group photos for you."

"We met an old friend for his birthday, and this was the perfect place. Murphy provided exquisite service......relaxed, helpful, and timely. The menu was varied enough that there was something for everyone, although we each chose some type of seafood. The sweet potato fries were REALLY good, nice and crispy without being greasy."

"My husband and I had my birthday lunch here. Murphy was our server, and she is top notch - friendly, efficient, excellent at her job! I had the shrimp and scallop skewers, and my husband had the lunch special redfish sandwich with fries. Both of our meals were superb, and I don't believe I've ever had better scallops anywhere! So tender they melted in my mou..." Read more

"Four of us had dinner on a cool evening but that didn't stop us from eating outside. The heaters kept us warm while we enjoyed a nice meal. We had the shrimp and scallops skewers, lobster pot pie, and island ribs. All meals were delicious and promptly served by our attentive waitress. An enjoyable evening and we will be back."

"This is the typical Southwest Restaurant, nice atmosphere, medium priced. This is the not the kind of restaurant where you should expect or get gourmet food. We live on Longboat Key and our friends live in St. Pete so we thought this would be a good halfway point. It was perfect for that. We sat outside and they reminded us if we felt too cool we could have..." Read more

"Their Butterfish with fruit salsa was very tasty and fresh. Everyone in my group said that they enjoyed their meals as well.
Decor is simple, but nice. Our server was friendly and professional and the water views on the outdoor dock were outstanding.
I recommend this restaurant. "

"A group of us from church had lunch here recently, and all of us raved not only about the service and view but the food also. We have been here a couple of times with a group and some as couples and have never been disappointed. If you have a group that you are wishing to find a place for, for lunch this is one with which to make contact to see if they can a..." Read more
