"River house, I want so much to like your food. Your ambiance, staff, service and views are so amazing. I just need your food to be better. The chef was kind enough to make my omelette into a scramble instead which was tasty but still arrived cold. Also not a fan of the Hash browns, they are were super undercooked. The potatoes were great, very flavorful. The..." Read more

"Great atmosphere, nice decor and it has some amazing views but that was just about it. The food was at best okay and the drinks were watered down. My meal was the fish and it came to the table over fried and the chips were extremely salty. My wife's salad had a tone of vinegar on it and that made it impossible to eat. But I can say that our service was great..." Read more

"The location is awesome. The drinks were great. Too bad the food was subpar. Nothing special about the food at all. Had the Shrimp PoBoy which was really just a sandwich with about 6 unremarkable shrimp on it. Someone in that kitchen needs to understand what a PoBoy is or rename it to shrimp sandwich. My wife and I got the feeling that most of the food was p..." Read more

"1st experience here, arrived on a early Saturday evening without a reservation, the front desk staff could care less if you're there in front of them. No acknowledgement of a greeting whatsoever for literally 5 minutes. 5 minutes is a long time to watch a staff of 3 or 4 to be ignored. Right then I wanted to leave but I was hungry and waited it out...." Read more

"Atmosphere- nice. Located at the end of a pier, the restaurant has a casual, but upscale feel to it. There are at least a dozen 4 tops set up outside with great views of the city, boats and water. Service - Average. Our server was pleasant and attentive at first. We were the sole patrons at the restaurant for the first 15-20 minutes. We waited 40 min..." Read more

"We haven't been here for quite a long time, but were looking for breakfast place that had outdoor seating on a Sunday. We made a reservation for 9:00 a.m. I received an email confirmation right away. The night before, I received a text asking for confirmation, which I did, and then the morning of our reservation, they phoned to confirm our arrival...." Read more

"We had reservations for the Second Floor Fine Dining Room Friday night. We LOVE the Riverhouse Grill downstairs and were expecting a wonderful experience upstairs. We had the Wagyu Beef Potstickers and the presentation and taste was amazing. I ordered BOUILLABAISSE SAFFRON and my husband ordered the THAI RED SNAPPER. I must say the Bouillabaisse was very..."

"The waiter was very good. The hostess' skipped us and seated someone that came in after us of the same party size(no they didn't call ahead) I had the crab stuffed grouper , I thought it was pretty good. My wife had the surf n turf, she said the steak at Longhorn was better. For the price the steak better be good and it wasn't. Honestly maybe they had an off..." Read more

"We celebrated a birthday here, party of 7. We were for the most part all dissatisfied with our meals. For as much as the majority of the meals cost, the salad shouldn't be an up charge - allow it as one of your sides. My husband had beef tips and they were tough and chewy. My nieces broccoli rotini was flavorless, the side portions of meals were very small...." Read more

"I want to like them, I really do. Yet every time we go it takes forever to either get a refill or our food. I will say tho when the food doesn't take forever to get and is warm it's great. Also they probably have one of the best margaritas I've ever had at a restaurant. But sadly I rarely try them because of how slow the service is."

"The Riverhouse Waterfront has some very good things and some really average things. I have been here before for lunch but it was a while ago. Our server Murphy was really Great. She was very nice and had some helpful suggestions. The views are fantastic also.They have a decent wine and beer list and a full bar. I can't remember the exact name of i..." Read more

"I so wanted to live this place but sadly other than the fantastic ambiance, the food and service was underwhelming. Go for drinks appetizers and the sunset and you'll be well pleased. Service was only OK. Took over half hour for anyone to come to our table. We actually had to get up twice to ask the three people manning the hostess station to send someone o..." Read more

"Second time there. First time was great. This time we sat at the bar and the service was unsatisfactory. Bartender was way behind and management had to step in and help her out. Even when the crowd subsided Had to beg the part under for a second glass of wine. Had to ask for service utensils and napkins after our food arrived. Thank God the food server was..." Read more

"I have tried this place 3 times. I want to like it because of the location but I have not had a good meal there. I keep trying different menu items to see if it's just a personal taste thing but my personal taste hasn't found anything to like. I had butterfish the last time and it was sweetened with a marinade that made it inedible (I asked for the sauce on..." Read more

"I wasn't able to make a reservation for 6:30, the only reservation time available was 5:30.... but there were plenty of empty tables all the way up until 7:00 pm. So not sure why I couldn't make a reservation later. In addition, the food took quite some time to arrive after ordering. My wife paid extra for some very under par asparagus. As well a..." Read more

"Hubby and I were out for a drive Memorial Day weekend and had the craves for fish & chips. Traffic was horrendous so we couldn't get down to the beach area in Bradenton so we started heading home on 41 when we spotted this place and decided to pull in for some lunch!Parking was a little tough to find, everyone out on their boats on this beautiful da..."

"Great atmosphere, excellent service, and average food. I love the location right on the water! We called ahead for reservations, but there weren't any available. We walked in around 4:45pm and did not have a wait. When we left there was a good wait though. Our server was very attentive and helpful. The food came out quickly. The bread was del..." Read more

"This was a good family place and the atmosphere was nice. It sits on the water and if you are lucky to get outside seating that make the experience even better. The dishes were good but the presentation was lack luster. The garlic mashed potatoes were plates using a ice cream scooper which cheapens this pricey restaurant. The presentation looked to be precis..." Read more

"My husband and I came here for a date night and sat on the patio. We loved the atmosphere! The food lacked flavor, so we loaded up on sauces. My husband ordered fish and chips and said it was the worst that he's ever had. The consistency wasn't good and it was flavorless. I tried it and would agree. I had the grouper with the risotto and asparagus. Again, th..." Read more

"Apparently, the view is so good that this restaurant doesn't think it needs to provide timely service or warm food. Disappointed, substandard dinner for the price."

"We have been to the Riverhouse 4 times now. It's hit and miss on the food & especially the service. I'm sitting on the fence as to if we get what we pay for concerning the food, but the service has been a miss the past two times. I'm not sure if they are catering mainly to tourist, which they have plenty of, and that may be the issue. Last time we to..." Read more

"We have been here several times, don't know why this is my first review but the Sunday brunch brought it to mind. We went to the brunch once before but were too early, around 10AM. I would expect it to start around that time. We were hungry so left and went elsewhere. A couple weeks later we went back, at Noon for the brunch and had a nice time. It was not t..." Read more

"The restaurant has an incredible view and atmosphere! The food was just OK. We ordered the blue crab dip and it was very fishy. The lobster chowder was very good and had chunks of lobster meat. The fish tacos were pretty good as well. The salmon bowl was terrible. Thinking similar to a Poké bowl you'll be disappointed. It was essentially a piece of salmon on..." Read more
