"You are paying for the view and not the quality of food.

Buffet was OK, but overpriced at $17 per.

I had green eggs, literally. I was told it from their cooking pans,but still...really?"

"Rule of life: What starts bad usually ends bad.We are locals and paid our first visit on 4-1-12 about 4:15.  Were seated at once.  They had good business for the time of day, but not crowded.  Server breezed by; stated his name and said would be back later to take a drinks order. He was abrupt.  I gave him the benefit of the doubt and when he..." Read more

"I have dined at this place frequently and have always enjoyed it; however out of curiosity I read the review of this place and had found that a couple of the most recent reviewers had given it poor ratings. So, I felt compelled to dine there this past weekend just to see if the quality had gone down. Well, in my opinion, the place is operating and tasting ju..." Read more

"Not sure what is going on here as in the past this has been a respectable place for a fine meal. We waited 35 minutes past our reservation for a table but they gave us 2 appetizers on the house. So far, so good kinda. The food was horrible. I had lobster tails doused in paprika, almost unedible, grouper stuffed with lobster cake was certainly sub par and mos..." Read more

"The best part of the restaurant is the view and location. Other than that, the food is overrated. We came here for lunch and wanted some fresh Florida fish; however for the price we were quite disappointed. My father's grouper sandwich was NOT fresh. In fact, quite fishy in taste & smell. My mahi-mahi sandwich was better. However at $15 a pop for those s..." Read more

"Very disappointed for several reasons.  First,we were seated by the hostess and waited at least 10 probably 15 minutes  without any waitstaff approaching our table. I got up and spoke to the hostess who said "no one has been to your table?Then a waitress came to our table and said they just told her to wait on us.  We ordered drinks and t..." Read more

"We love to come here around sunset time and during Happy Hour.  It's a great place. We really like the Mahi Mahi -- lightly blackened -- with remoulade sauce."

"Run, don't walk, away from this place.  There are WAY too many lovely eateries with a view of the beautiful Manatee River without having to put up with the crap this owner gives you.  Not enough kitchen help, excuses, excuses, excuses and never an apology although it took 1 1/2 HOURS to get our food!  Took 20 minutes just to get a drink order. And this was d..." Read more

"I took my parents here after they picked me up at the airport. They'd been wanting to try this place,and were just as pleased as I was. There was a nice selection of fresh fish, some local, and a variety of side dishes. The Riverhouse rice and the cheesy mashed potatoes were especially good. We started with a plate of mussels in coconut broth, I had the lobs..." Read more

"Wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The waitress was a little nutty, but it added to the experience. Had some shrimp and white wine, little too pricey for the quality, but in the end the view on the deck makes up for it. The hostess was very cute and friendly."

"I'm glad this great space is finally being used again. Great views and the ribs were excellent. Redfish with fruit salsa was also top notch. Did not try dessert but the selection looked yummy. Indoor and outdoor seating."

"We had heard from friends that there's a new restaurant on the pier and we should go check it out. We had friends come in town so we took them there and had a blast. The atmosphere was great! Live music great view and awesome food. Some people might think it's a little pricy for dinner but its well worth it. We have been back several times and tried several..." Read more

"I work nearby this restaurant and one of it's many appeals is that I can go and have lunch on the water in a very stylish and sleek setting, a really nice break in the day!  The only downside is you'll need to plan the better part of your hour (if you're part of the fortunate, depending on your take) to eat, since the service is a bit slow but the view r..."
