"Never been to a restaurant where the waitress stated emphatically ā No modifications of any kind are allowed, donāt blame me I just work here ā. Tried to add mushrooms to my omlet. Strangest thing ever and would deter me from returning or recommending"

"Other than the view, there isn't much I can say that was positive about our experience. We've been before and had a similar experience so I have no one to blame but myself. Decided to try brunch. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict w/ crab. I decided to play it safe with the Mediterranean Chopped Salad. Food took 35 minutes. Had to flag down our server to fin..." Read more

"Service was better than the food. Ordered the shrimp pasta Chablis. Blackened salmon with chips and rice and beans and the apple pie. Sadly even with the white wine sauce, garlic and butter that pasta had no flavor. š the shrimp was fresh but even it didnāt have any flavor as if they cooked everything separately no salt and then just added the sauce on top...."

"Prices have gone up, portions have shrunk, quality has gone down. At one point this was our favorite place in the Broader Tampa area, no more. They used to have pineapple coconut bread that was incredible. Now give you plain white bread. A simple shrimp basket is now 10$ more for a smaller portion. There have been supply problems and inflation yes, a lot of..." Read more

"Been here several times and the food has always been good. Tonight was a major disappointment. Very bland and much smaller portions. The French onion soup was however very good. All four of us were very dissatisfied with our entrees. I think weāll pass on this place until when or if they improve. Just okay is not good enough when youāre paying these prices...." Read more

"If Iām only putting a rating for the food, itād be 4.5/5 stars. However, our experience here wasnāt the best. Our server Lauren took awhile to get back to us and getting our order in. The food took 35 minutes to come out and we didnāt even come at peak hour. The wait would have been okay if Lauren came and told us the ETA of the food, but there was nothing f..." Read more

"Food was OK. Calamari and Kickin Chicken appetizers were good. Sirloin steak was bland and chewy, coleslaw completely tasteless. Scallops and Shrimp Alfredo dish was greasy and not very good. Not worth the price."

"Fish and chips was disgusting. 1 piece of fish. Completely dried out with no moisture. Even the fried batter was bad. 4 shrimp came in the salads and the shrimp were burnt on one side and never flipped over to the other. Not the most attentive service, food took an hour from order to serve, but great views"

"One star for food & service and one additional star for location. Most recently, sorry slow kitchen at 2pm on a show Saturday afternoon. Terrible. I've been there many times and find it better for burger and beers than dinner selections. The happy hour is nice in the bar as well as outside and the views are really great all around. The seafood and ribs are j..." Read more

"Location is fantastic ans view was great. Food was mediocre, had crab dip, crab cake sandwich, and pot pie. All were overpriced. Service was lacking as well. Sat down and waited 15 minutes for someone to greet us to take our order. Also brought food without silverware and disappeared."

"Itās been a decent while since Iāve taken time to review anything. Formerly Yelp Elite ā12 and ā13. But thatās neither here nor there. What is here at Riverhouse is a lack of consistency. The only things which are consistent include the cheerful, hard working staff (except for Alvin - stop flirting with the ladies) and the beautiful waterfront views. As a r..." Read more

On the water, beautiful scenery and the staff is great. HOWEVERā¦ā¦ā¦.. I am afraid to say, Iād rather eat fast food than their food. I thought to myself, maybe I..." Read more

"We eat downstairs all the time and the food, staff and sunsets are amazing. However, last weekend we finally made reservations for the upstairs dining room and frankly we just don't get it. The atmosphere was awesome; much quieter with great views. The staff was, as expected, delightful. However, the food was just mediocre and more expensive. I had pasta wit..." Read more

"This used to be our favorite place to dine. Right on the water, it is beautiful. The past two times we have gone on a weekend, the service has not been good. On Sunday my husband & I were seated and assigned to a waitress who had 2 huge parties, as well as another table, and us. She was nice, but she shouldn't have been assigned extra tables with the 2 h..." Read more

"The brunch which was Egg benedict crabcake was good and very affordable. The calamari appetizer was a bit pricey at dollars for its quantity and taste. The ambiance was really gorgeous by the Manatee River. Just too busy and the bar staff is having a problem prioritizing, lots of people wanted to check out and many are waiting to order. It took me about..." Read more

"Service is great, food not so much. I had the spring rolls which seemed like frozen food, not fresh made. I also had the fish and chips. The fish was soggy and separated from the batter. Great view of the Manatee River though!"

"It's all about the view, not the food. A popular place but I would not return, or recommend. Ordered a Bloody Mary for $10 and it arrived in the smallest tulip glass I've ever seen...maybe 6oz and mostly ice! Appropriate size for a kid's Shirley Temple, laughable for an adult beverage. My turkey sandwich may well have been "roasted", at one time, before..." Read more

"Our chicken was so woody you couldn't even eat it And the fries were greasy. Sent the entire lunch back. I ate the buns and salad which were very good. Most everyone at the luncheon sent the main meal ( Chicken and fries) Back and no one questioned Why? Very š¢ sad"
