"We came upon this restaurant by accident, driving back north from a visit to Sarasota.Location:  Outstanding, waterfront location.  If you aren't up for the short walk along the docks they have a "trolley" (overgrown golf cart) that will take you from the parking lot to the restaurant.  The restaurant is nicely decorated.Menu:  Not ex..."

"The service here is great - they have a trolley running across the pier to transport guests from the parking lot to the restaurant in the rain! Aside from a friendly and polite staff, Riverhouse Reef and Grill body's a fantastic selection of seafood. For dinner, I ordered the lobster cakes served with a Cajun sauce. I love anything seasoned with Caju..." Read more

"Nice river view and the breeze on the deck was pleasant. Good, attentive service and nice variety on the menu. We all enjoyed our entrees.  I.think the only cause for 4 stars rather than 5 is the "bang for the buck" category."

"This restaurant is pleasant, service and food good. We were seated inside on a very warm day next to a door however which blew a hot blast of air every time it opened. We probably will go back but will know better where we want to sit. There are good prices on happy hour drinks n food a little more than we usually pay for casual dining but worth it. Nice vie..."

"Amazing view. Food was excellent, and menu was varied enough even for us non seafood eaters. Prices were fair given the river view. Golf cart service to and from parking lot is a nice touch, and the driver was personable, funny, and very pleasant. A perfect spot for a romantic dinner, a night out with co workers, a dinner party, or a place to bring visiting..." Read more

"Attended a wedding here.  Great views of the river and the marina and a beautiful bride to boot! **  The entree was delish (Mahi Mahi).  The DJ did a good job.  The staff were super friendly (we had a Maine-iac waiter, which is a waiter born and bred and the state of Maine).  The sunset was a "beautiful orange ball" in the words of my uncle...."

"We ordered take out to eat on the boat. All of our meals were quite good but it felt a bit pricey for takeout. We will return, of course, because each time we have been the quality has been consistent."

"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."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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 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
