"Food and service was great. My mom and I both had the scallops, they were cooked perfectly and very delicious! The view is wonderful too! We couldn't get a reservation so we just got on the wait list and it didn't take long at all to be seated. Highly recommend!"

"As someone with Celiac for 15 years, I do not eat out often. What happened at this restaurant is why. The menu has many options labeled as gluten free. I not only ordered a salad labeled gluten free on the menu, I also let the server know specifically that I have Celiac. My salad arrived with croutons that I did not see until after I had a few bites. I..." Read more

"I took my family there to celebrate my parent's anniversary, we were all impressed with the lovely view from the great table they gave us. But the view is where the good ended.Our waiter was stoned...so you can imagine the quality of service we received...slow, forgotten, etc. No one's food was hot...not one of the 7 meals. Flavors were pretty..." Read more

"Slow service, understaffed, food barely acceptable. Had the Redfish, too fishy tasting, daughter had jerk chicken quesadillas not very tasty. Blue crab appetizer was good but never received individual plates."

"Food was excellent and service was even better. Lissette was our server and she was courteous, attentive and so friendly. We had the lobster pot pie which had huge chunks of lobster, the shrimp and scallops skewers which were good and added the lobster tail for $9. Totally worth it, the flavor of the lobster was out of this world. Another had the Chablis shr..." Read more

"Good solid restaurant. Food was very good but not outstanding. Service was excellent. Sat outside at fire pit table which was really nice. Matt our server was excellent. I wish there was a section on menu for local catch though. My impression was that most of the seafood was brought in from ..." Read more

"Food was great. I got a crabcake. Which I'm very picky about because I'm from Maryland so anytime I go to a place that has crab cakes in Florida, I'm always skeptical. But it was really really good I would definitely recommend. We sat outside and enjoy the weather."

"Stopped by here for a quick bite before going jet skiing by the dock. The view is gorgeous- 5 stars! Ate the shrimp taco but it was a bit too spicy for me, so I shared them with my dad. Went back a few weeks later when my brother came home for a visit. First time seeing him in about 10 months. We went during the dinner time, so we got bread and oh my..." Read more

"Alert! Alert! Alert! Be careful that you don't go to the wrong place! There is another establishment out by the road with a similar name as this place with less stars and much less atmosphere. Make sure to walk out to the marina out back to find the RIGHT establishment. So a beautiful view at the end of the marina with a great menu selection. We stared with..." Read more

"This was my first time here and I only spent time at the outside bar. I had the "kickin shrimp" which was so good I ordered a second order. The service was great, the beer was cold and the other customers were fun. I will definitely be back and would also like to eat a dinner in the restaurant soon."

"We have been to the Riverhouse 4 times now. It's hit and miss on the food & especially the service. I'm sitting on the fence as to if we get what we pay for concerning the food, but the service has been a miss the past two times. I'm not sure if they are catering mainly to tourist, which they have plenty of, and that may be the issue. Last time we to..." Read more

"Hidden gem! Can't believe I lived in the Bay Area this long and have never been here. The location was amazing and easy to find. The restaurant has a golf cart to take to the restaurant if you don't want to walk down the pier. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with views of the water. We got a chance to watch the sunset when we just sat down...." Read more

"Wednesday night wine specialsSpent a night docked at Regatta Pointe during our recent boat charter vacation in the Gulf. We had dinner at Riverhouse Reef and Grill. It was a busy Wednesday night, so we needed to wait 30 minutes to seat our party of eight. The restaurant did not disappoint. Kids ate free off the kids menu in August. House wines were $..."

"Apparently, the view is so good that this restaurant doesn't think it needs to provide timely service or warm food. Disappointed, substandard dinner for the price."
