"We have been here many times on out date night without the kids. Location is always beautiful, sit outside if it's nice or inside by glass walls if not. Food is good if unimaginative. Get there for happy hour for the margaritas and coconut shrimp! Nice bar outside to wait for a good table. Live music while waiting and often happy newlyweds getting photos on..." Read more

"Started with the scallops covered with bacon. Not anything special. Lobster fritters were good nothing great. So far 3 stars then main courses. Blackened shrimp was good and the Fried shrimp was bland then the blackened mahi mahi was very good but the blackened grouper was phenomenal. Would have been 3 stars but the grouper and the view brought it to 4."

"We have arrived by boat and they have restaurant dock to hook up the boat. The restaurant foundation is support by piles and is over the water. The outside deck is a beauty for this weather when you dine out. You can see boat come and go on the Manatee River. The restaurant have the lunch menu and their food is typical more expensive than the nearby..." Read more

"My wife and I were vacationing in Palmetto this year and decided to try this spot because of the wonderful Yelp reviews.It was really cool that a gentleman with a golf cart gives rides from the parking lot to the restaurant.  That would've been a long tedious walk for somebody like me.  The food was very good.  I opted for the grouper sandwic..."

"I found this facility by doing a web search and anticipated having a very high and wonderfully tasting meal. That unfortunately was not the case. I invited my younger brother out for a nice birthday meal and walked away quite embarrassed by the tasteless food that I had purchased. The view and location of this restaurant are amazing and the potential to have..." Read more

"On this first time visit, We found the Fishhouse to be in a great setting and to have wonderful service but the portions were extremely small for the price. As a starter, I had a very nicely presented Red Sangria and an excellent fresh tossed salad. However, I was disappointed with my entree of ocean scallops ordered from the fresh seafood portion of..."

"From the first time we tried this place we loved it.  From the ride in the golf cart to the door to sitting by the ocean while you eat and watching the dolphins and manatees as well as the boats pass on by.  My family and I have done many lunches there, as well as dinner and a couple of fourth of July buffets.  Our youngest son would always go up to the host..."

"This place was fantastic. Mariah our server was attentive and helpful. She was on top of all our requests and when we asked for a night cap glass of wine she didn't act annoyed as we were close to the last ones in. Food was great as well, try the lobster pot pie!"

"There are several restaurants and bars at this marina, but the Riverhouse Reef and Grill is located at the end of the marina pier.  You can enjoy a leisurely stroll past the boats to get to the restaurant, or jump on the large golf cart shuttle for a quick ride.The thing you notice right away is the amazing view of downtown Bradenton across the Manat..."

"Saturday night for dinner. The wait for an outside table stretched well beyond the hour we were quoted (but waiting there with the pier and docks to roam around on is not bad). Once seated it was worth the wait. Beautiful night, great food, mellow, acoustic, live music. We had the Mediterranean Chicken, a shrimp pasta, and a burger and everyone was very plea..." Read more

"It's going to take you a while to get a seat at this Palmetto hotspot for seafood.  Not because the wait is necessarily that long, but because the Riverhouse Reef & Grill is stationed at the end of a very picturesque pier at the Regatta Pointe Marina.   You'll spend a half an hour marveling at the sights of the marina, her ships and the sea in all it's s..."

"Wonderful location potential but ...! The Cabo Fish bites were tasteless and warm. Oh, and there was no bed of romaine! I always marvel at high end restaurants and their "Sea Salt!" Don't stick to anything!! The Cajun Crawfish Loaded Chips were absolutely "DISGUSTING." Both my wife and I had sour stomachs after about thirty minutes an..." Read more

"Love this place.  Had dinner last night with friends and we all enjoyed it.  Great atmosphere and a beautiful water view.  Not too noisy.  Prices are very reasonable.  I had the blackened shrimp dinner and it was excellent.  Can't wait to go back and try the Black and Blue salad or maybe shrimp tacos."

"The kickin shrimp and green goddess shrimp are pretty good if they don't drench them in sauce. The mushroom Swiss burger is pretty good too. Fish & chips were just ok.  Calamari was chewy and flavorless.  Black cod was pretty good but the flavor was so powerful that after a few bites you got tired of it. Overall this place is just ok, and a bit over pric..." Read more

"This is a great fish joint at the end of a free access fishing pier.  Cheap plastic table cloths, paper napkins and furniture are mixed with pricy but good food.  Actually, given the location and seafood menu, the pricing isn't too bad.  If you stick with water and go for a basket meal, you can be under $12ea.  Specials today were $19 and included either bla..."

"Absolutely amazing Lobster Pot Pie. It came out super fresh, the pastry was light and fluffy, and they were very generous with the lobster pieces. The service was friendly & fast. One of the best outdoor dining restaurants in Bradenton & the inside decor was very nice too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant again."

"The restaurant is right on the water with a great view. The food was very good and service was good as well. I was there for lunch and had the lobster corn chowder and the fish tacos with the "kickin" shrimp. The sauce on the shrimp tacos definitely had some kick (but not too much) and gave it nice flavor. I would definitely get them again. The rest..." Read more
