"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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

"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..."

"Palmetto's waterfront has never looked better with its large marina, condos, and nearby historic district.  The crowning touch of the docks is the Riverside Reef and Grill, a three-story structure at the tip of the main pier.  The restaurant is on the first floor while the top floors serve banquets, weddings, and meetings.Riverhouse has the huge seaf..."

"My husband and I are always looking for cool and good restaurants that we can stop at on our way to Tampa International from Long Boat Key, Palmetto is about halfway for us.  Our criteria is that  there must be a water view, outside seating and of course, good food.  This restaurant far exceeded our expectations.  We first stopped at the Riverside Cafe, whic..."

"Their food is delicious and reasonably priced.  I had the Butterfish and grilled Mahi  entrees on two visits which were both great.  Can't beat the view on the river paired with $2 beer specials either!

Now instead of coming here for when I am working in the area, I just need to buy and live on one of the yachts and go here all the time."

"Great food, great view, great drinks! Peaceful location and atmosphere. Happy hour specials were OK, not fantastic prices. The food was great from the pineapple bread to butterfish. I will return on my next trip to the area."

"This is a place I might go to only 3 time a year. When i do however, I am never disappointed. The food and services on par for the price, and the best part of this place may be the views. If i had one bad critique it would be that it isn't in the greatest location. If you just cross the street, you're in the ghetto."

"I have dined at this place frequently and have always enjoyed it; however out of curiosity I read the review of this place and had found that a couple of the most recent reviewers had given it poor ratings. So, I felt compelled to dine there this past weekend just to see if the quality had gone down. Well, in my opinion, the place is operating and tasting ju..." Read more

"I took my parents here after they picked me up at the airport. They'd been wanting to try this place,and were just as pleased as I was. There was a nice selection of fresh fish, some local, and a variety of side dishes. The Riverhouse rice and the cheesy mashed potatoes were especially good. We started with a plate of mussels in coconut broth, I had the lobs..." Read more

Live music great view and awesome food. Some people might think it's a little pricy for dinner but its well worth it. We have been back several times and tried several..." Read more

"I work nearby this restaurant and one of it's many appeals is that I can go and have lunch on the water in a very stylish and sleek setting, a really nice break in the day!  The only downside is you'll need to plan the better part of your hour (if you're part of the fortunate, depending on your take) to eat, since the service is a bit slow but the view r..."
