"Beautiful views of the marina and Manatee River and the most attentive and pleasant wait staff. Grouper nuggets app was generously portioned for a table of 4. Ask for an extra side of the cilantro lime aioli. From previous visits, you really can't go wrong with any of the apps. Steer clear of the avocado chicken sandwich...overcooked chicken breast made..." Read more

"Beautiful waterfront views from almost everywhere in this restaurant as it is located inside of the marina. Plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend reservations as it is always busy and seems to have lines. We had a new staff member that needed more training but was very nice. We were a group of four and ordered items from the fried shrimp basket to the..." Read more

"I so love the Riverhouse!  It's right on the river and the Palmetto side with views of the marina.   You must walk (or ride in the golf cart) down the long boardwalk to get to the restaurant. It is beautifully appointed decorations. There is inside and outside seating right on the water. I've heard there is a more lux part of this restaurant upstairs..." Read more

"Riverhouse has been a favourite of ours for years. Our go-to place when we are returning or leaving to head north. During the hot days/nights of summer a sangria is a refreshing and enjoyable drink. I was shocked and taken back and extremely disappointed when after ordering one, was told "we don't have sangria". What do you mean, you don't have Sangria. You..." Read more

"Excellent location off Manatee River! Customer service provided by “Tista” was well above average, she’s a true master of her profession! Food was ok, we found the Onion Soup a bit salty, but I realize that’s really subjective and based on customer preference…everyone else thought the dishes were generally good..drink prices were very good, though I have to..."

"The food was good overall. We started with spinach artichoke dip (not pictured) that was pretty good serviced with wonton style chips. The views here at what you come for. It's on the water in the marina and it's well shaded. Our server was very sweet and made great recommendations. They did forget our dip in the kitchen, but again, you pay for the views her..."

"Came here with the boss and I had the grouper tacos and she had the salmon rice bowl.  Both our meals were very good. Hearty and flavorful with a nice table outside.  Service was friendly and attentive.My fish tacos had a good amount of grouper and the fish was blackened well.  The boss said she really enjoyed her bowl.  It was a good mixture that she sa..."

"I recommend this restaurant only for sunset views and appetizers. Dinner was disappointingly bland but the apps and views made it worth it. Service was friendly and attentive, but they need a better oyster education- they couldn't even tell us what they were or where they were from so we didn't order them. The crab dip, lobster bisque and bang bang chicken a..." Read more

"Went there for our wedding anniversary. Had reservations, was seated promptly, server was prompt and attentive. I had the Lobster Pot Pie, my wife had Fried Shrimp. Food was a bit slow coming out, but place was full. Food was hot, fries were great as were Sweet Potato fries. Cole slaw wasn't that great, but overall it was a great experience. Will be back. Lo..."

"The food & view were fabulous…. The service left quite a bit to be desired, but then again I only saw 2 waitresses & 1 busser… so maybe they were understaffed? anyway, worth the try since service could just be a fluke"

"Love this place. First time coming here and so glad we we did. The location with it sitting on the water is beautiful. The weather was very windy so we didn't sit outside. However, the big bay windows allowed us to still enjoy the harbors view. We sat at the bar and placed our order. Food came out hot and tasty. You know I love my seafood and have just found..."

"The view is nice, right on the river.  There is a shuttle that will give you a ride from parking through the yacht club.  We enjoy breakfast outside.  I have also eaten work lunches and dinners there and the food is pretty good, but not amazing.  Service is usually pretty good, but sometimes, when they are busy, they suffer from wait staff shortages like eve..."
