"First off the service was unbelievable! My server and his runner made sure that my bf and I did not want for anything. I usually do not order steaks at a seafood restaurant but I'm happy that I made this choice. My ribeye steak with rice was cooked to standard. My bf had the blackened salmon with cheesy mash potatoes. Those were so good. But the main..." Read more

"Amazing view, amazing food and amazing service! Our party included an Alaskan, a local Bradentonian and a typical teenage girl and we were all satisfied. Our server Sarah was very knowledgeable about the menu which made ordering that much easier. We started with raw oysters which were incredibly fresh and delicious served with an interesting homemade coc..." Read more

"Went for lunch
Long wait for just appetizers
Good amount of flies but we were outside so hey.
BUT when the food came everything was amazing! The food was worth the wait.
Four stars because of the wait but the view was beautiful! Great ambiance."

"I love the outside view of the place. You are able to sit outside and overlook the water while indulging in a drink. The food there is also really good. My favorite item there is Green Goddess Shrimp. They are the perfect appetizer. I love coming back to this place."

"What was good: the location was beautiful, the service was prompt and courteous. What was bad: the most important thing - the food. It just wasn't very good. I asked the waiter for his recommendation and he picked the butterfish. I got it. Not great - dry, not flavorful. The cheesy potatoes were pretty good, though. My mom got the scallops and she did..."

"Went out to lunch here with my friend. I wanted to have a nice lunch with a nice view so I found this hidden spot. The food was amazing!!! We had seared tuna for appetizer. I had the shrimp tacos and a side of french fries and my friend is not a big sea food person so she had the Parmesan chicken with pasta. We ate Cookie Monster for dessert. We sat outside..."

"Beautiful location and wonderful views. Food is reasonably priced and good. They will not take reservations for groups less than 10 which is rather odd. I was told that there would be no problem for 4 people at 7:30 and ended up waiting an hour and a half."

"We ate at the Riverhouse Reef and Grill after living here for two years and driving by the beautiful establishment directly on the water. The ambiance was amazing. The food was so poorly executed we regretted paying for it. We had the bacon wrapped scallops for an appetizer which were nicely presented but overcooked. My husband ordered lobster corn chowder w..." Read more

"This place is great! I've never had a bad experience here with the service or the food. Riverhouse is my family's restaurant we go to for any special occasion. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you dine here! My fave, the mahi mahi tacos and the lobster corn chowder!"

"We dined here yesterday evening. Didn't know exactly what to expect but it looked nice from the outside... I wasn't dressed up by any means but did wear a cute casual dress. . .still felt overdressed as it's definitely "Florida casual" .Nice deck to watch the sunset and possibly some manatees and or porpoises. That was cool, we saw all three...." Read more

"Tonite, we took some very important people for dinner. First of all, the yelp website said they took reservations. No. When I called, they said they didn't take reservations!! Happy hour on the website says you can get appetizers. No so. We arrived at 5:20. It took forever to get the 4th drink to our table ( it was only a draft beer) . We didn't leave..." Read more

"What can I say.....walking up the boardwalk to the restaurant (or you can ride a chauffeured golf cart) sets the scene for a delightful dining experience. My friend and I chose outdoor seating as we were there on a somewhat cool but sunny day. No worries, because as the sun was setting out come the stylish propane heaters. I ordered the Chablis Shrimp Pas..." Read more

"Excellent food and pet friendly pier! I absolutely loved every bit of my experience. The food was very fresh and there were many furry friends in the pier with the families very happy :) The service was a bit slow but I can understand with so many guests coming in to eat this fantastic food."

"My husband and I love this place. We always make an effort to stop here for some food when we are out that way. They have spectacular waterfront view...definitely a must see during sunset. The food has always been great. I usually order their Mahi fish tacos or sandwich. Yum! Only complaint I have about this place is that the friendliness of the staff is hit..." Read more

"On our vacation and local friends brought us here. I wasn't overly impressed with the service at first, but as our server warmed up to us, it got a bit better. We ordered appies: coconut shrimp and the artichoke dip. Our coconut shrimp were very dark/over done and when we brought it to our server's attention, she told us a second/replacement order wo..."

"Can I give a 0 star???? This was absolutely horrible! Our meal ended up being 56.00 ( no alcohol involved) and it was SOOOO not worth the price. i had lobster stuffed grouper and it was way...... over done! The cheesy mashed potatoes had just big chunks of cheese in it. The vegetable medley was way overcooked and bland! I will never ever go back here. Oh, ye..." Read more

"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..." Read more

"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."

"The Riverhouse Reef and Grill's Sunday brunch is spectacular. What a fantastic array of high quality and delicious dishes! It is one of the best brunches I've ever had. Visited here on March 3rd while vacationing in nearby Bradenton. In addition to the food, the view is great and the restaurant is beautiful and the service excellent. Go there and you won't b..."

"Great spot to watch the fireworks on the fourth. Reservation required and buffet style all you can eat dinner. The view is as close as you can get the the big show and parking is reserved for people at restaurant only. Makes for a fun evening out with the kids. A bit pricey but the ease of reserved parking and stress less surroundings are priceless."
