"While staying with friends in Apollo Beach, they suggested eating at the Riverhouse. They never ate there but got a recommendation. Driving south and coming over the bridge into Palmetto, you quickly realize the how beautiful the marina area is and how easy to miss the turnoff. We ate outside and saw the green flash at sunset, spectacular. Eating at a fi..." Read more

"First time here. Ordered a New York strip with Risotto and asparagus with a lobster tail. The steak I ordered Medium RARE. Came out well done and staff and manager kept harassing me about cooking another one or taking it off the bill. $45 before tax and not including my other guests and drinks. Little pricey for what I got and the waitress was just anno..." Read more

"Long walk to restaurant. Didn't know there was a golf cart shuttle until we left. Employees were fabulous. Rice and vegetables were delicious. Lobster pie had very little flavor. Didn't care for the bread, it was VERY SWEET. Drinks were constantly refilled. We can say that we have tried this restaurant. Many more in the area to try and we will."

"Right on the water and the food was wonderful. I had the grouper fish tacos and they were AMAZING. Our server was just "ok" but the atmosphere and excellent food made up for it. Recommend getting a pitch of sangria too."

"Amazing grouper sandwich and good drinks. Pretty good service -- ALWAYS wait for outside seating. They try to deter you by telling you a bogus wait time. They told us 45 minutes for an outside table and we said we'd wait. They sat us less than 5 minutes later at a table with an amazing view."

"Food was very good. Server was good .Price point was good. We loved the view. Sunset was awesome. They stuck us in a dead corner so we had to look for our server. But we will be back but will not sit in a forgotten section."

"I have tried this place 3 times. I want to like it because of the location but I have not had a good meal there. I keep trying different menu items to see if it's just a personal taste thing but my personal taste hasn't found anything to like. I had butterfish the last time and it was sweetened with a marinade that made it inedible (I asked for the sauce on..." Read more

"This is a favorite place for us to take out of town guests because it's so beautiful! Lovely walk down the pier to get to the restaurant, and even in the summer, the breeze off the river makes the patio comfortable. The food is wonderful and has lots of variety to accommodate varying tastes. I love the lobster pot pie and the crab cake sandwich and the fish..." Read more

"Had a wonderful evening with good food and beverages, but the hi spot was the wonderful waitress we had, I wish I had her name to share with all of you, but I think if you are lucky enough to get her you'll know what I'm talking about."

"The first time we went here the food was good although the portions are not very large. This time my wife had the crab cake sandwich and she loved it. I had a steak and it was the toughest steak I have had in my life. I was only able to eat half of my steak. When the waitress asked if I wanted a box for the rest of it I informed her that I didn't want it bec..." Read more

"I got a Yelp account simply to write this review about this restaurant. This place was phenomenal. We used Open Table to reserve an outside seating for the six of us and got seated immediately. The bacon wrapped scallops and Kickin Chicken appetizers were sublime. I had the ribs which were fall off the bone and other great dishes included Mahi tacos, blacken..." Read more

"I came here with a group of 10 for dinner after spending the day in operation meetings, our reservation was mid-week so we were seated immediately after arriving. Most of my associates were blown away by the location being most traveled in from the north and it seemed everyone's expectations were pretty high I know mine were. I dine out quite a bit since I u..." Read more

"Very high quality food and service. Outside tables are on the river and have great ambiance and usually a nice breeze. Have now been there several times and they never disappoint. Strongly recommend a reservation with preference as to inside or outside seating."

"Let me start by saying that the service is absolutely fabulous here, nothing is too much and the waitresses are full of smiles and good conversation. The food is huge, and the waitress was right when she said 'you won't be going home hungry'. I actually had to take some of my meal home, and had it for lunch the next day where it was still just as good as whe..." Read more

"I wasn't able to make a reservation for 6:30, the only reservation time available was 5:30.... but there were plenty of empty tables all the way up until 7:00 pm. So not sure why I couldn't make a reservation later. In addition, the food took quite some time to arrive after ordering. My wife paid extra for some very under par asparagus. As well a..." Read more
