"Beautiful views and great food at reasonable prices. As a local, this is one of my go-to places that I take out of town visitors.  It is more accessible than some of the beach restaurants.  I love the lobster cakes with Cajun remoulade, and the lobster pot pie.  My wife loves the frozen Mojitos.  You can probably find better food elsewhere, but it is VERY go..."

"Great place to relax and enjoy dinner with friends.  The not a bad view in the place.  We love to sit outside and listen to the sounds of the marina.  

The Fish tacos are to die for.  The chicken wings are some of the best I have ever had.  The ribs are tender and tasty.  Love this place."

"Had to go to the DMV and found this place on the water. What a great find! I had the soup and salad for lunch and added shrimp, which was a good decision. Hubby had the grouper sandwich and it was really good!!!
We sat outside and it was a beautiful day and wonderful view. Will definitely go back!"

"My high expectations really were not met when I ate here. It's the truth. I drove a little out of my way while on a business trip to grab food here and while the food was okay, I thought it could have been better. I arrived right on time--happy hour! The food I ordered was off of the happy hour menu and were finger foods, like coconut shrimp. Most of..." Read more

"Palmetto's waterfront has never looked better with its large marina, condos, and nearby historic district.  The crowning touch of the docks is the Riverside Reef and Grill, a three-story structure at the tip of the main pier.  The restaurant is on the first floor while the top floors serve banquets, weddings, and meetings.Riverhouse has the huge seaf..."

"They started out trying to appeal to the public with good food, service & music. As time passed we experience a lack of service once seated, no entertainment, early closing & very poor bar service."

"My husband and I are always looking for cool and good restaurants that we can stop at on our way to Tampa International from Long Boat Key, Palmetto is about halfway for us.  Our criteria is that  there must be a water view, outside seating and of course, good food.  This restaurant far exceeded our expectations.  We first stopped at the Riverside Cafe, whic..."

"Their food is delicious and reasonably priced.  I had the Butterfish and grilled Mahi  entrees on two visits which were both great.  Can't beat the view on the river paired with $2 beer specials either!

Now instead of coming here for when I am working in the area, I just need to buy and live on one of the yachts and go here all the time."

"Great location. The menu is ok, a bit pricey for the quality. Eat here if you don't want to drive out to the beach for sunset.

Make sure you arrive well in time for happy hour, iif that's your thing. They also cut it off well in advance of 6pm with some lame excuse about the computer won't take new orders ?"

"This is a place I might go to only 3 time a year. When i do however, I am never disappointed. The food and services on par for the price, and the best part of this place may be the views. If i had one bad critique it would be that it isn't in the greatest location. If you just cross the street, you're in the ghetto."

"Don't plan a party or large event here!!Sadly my brother's rehearsal dinner was ruined because we came here with our group! If this wasn't the only upscale (ish) restaurant in the area we would have walked out and gone somewhere else, but we had no choice but to begrudgingly stick around and hope for the best...My brother and his fiancé plann..."

"The view was great. The food...ummm....bland. I had blackened salmon and it was salmon. No great flavor to it. The mashed potatoes were just that. bland. My friend had salmon spread. it was ok. bland. Tomato Basil soup he loved. View was fabulous. Service was great. Food we had was ok. Won't rush back. Wouldn't rave about it either."

"We found this place online and glad we did. The foor was very good and plentiful, We will go back when it is cooler to sit outside but in the meantime we will go back for the food and atmosphere. Worth the 30 minute drive. They do have a shuttle from the end of the pier but after dinner you need the walk!"
