"This is one of those restaurants that pictures itself as a classy, must go restaurant.  They are delusional.  We took the family there over the holidays mostly because of the view. While waiting for our table I asked the receptionist if we could eat at one of the empty fire pit tables on the outside. She didn't want to be bothered as our original table was a..." Read more

"This place rocks! I called earlier in the day and the assistant manager Matt was super helpful with info on the restaurant and trying to help accommodate a party of 8 outside. When we got there, it was not too bad of a wait! There was live entertainment and it was a very nice view of the bay at night. There are so many cool boats and yachts to look at! I bet..." Read more

"We've love Riverhouse!  During Covid so many restaurants are using the excuse of Covid for lousy food and lousy service, but somehow Riverhouse has been able to provide excellent service and food during Covid. We showed up with 8 people and a baby without reservations. They were able to seat us in a timely fashion and our service was the best!  Our waiter wa..." Read more

"The waiter was very good. The hostess' skipped us and seated someone that came in after us of the same party size(no they didn't call ahead) I had the crab stuffed grouper , I thought it was pretty good. My wife had the surf n turf, she said the steak at Longhorn was better. For the price the steak better be good and it wasn't. Honestly maybe they had an off..." Read more

"Went for romantic anniversary dinner. Waited 45 mins for a table only to be sat at the vacant table we stared at for 45 next to the outside DJ.  Explained to staff we looked at that vacant table for 45 mins and then you sat us there? Food mediocre - no management cared to come by. Go somewhere else"

"We celebrated a birthday here, party of 7. We were for the most part all dissatisfied with our meals. For as much as the majority of the meals cost, the salad shouldn't be an up charge - allow it as one of your sides. My husband had beef tips and they were tough and chewy. My nieces broccoli rotini was flavorless, the side portions of meals were very small...." Read more

"Lovely night out! We sat at the bar on a Saturday night. First we wanted patio seating, so we waited at the bar for an open table. The bartender and happy hour were so great, we decided to forego the patio and stay at the bar for our dinner. Everything was so good I had the Lobster MAC & Cheese. It was creamy and filling! Super responsive wait staff and..." Read more

To top it off their patio is dog friendly! Oh and the food is awesome too, especially the sea food. Sometimes there can be a wait, but it's worth it and you can still grab drinks and hang..."

"We love going there. The service is usually very good. The food has always been really good. My disappointment at lunch today was that our outdoor table was not 6 feet away from the next table. As a matter of fact a man was seated only 2 feet behind me. The breeze (much appreciated) was coming from that direction. I didn't feel safe or valued as a regular cu..." Read more
