"After a day on the water, dinner at the Riverhouse Reef & Grill dining room was a great experience with our adult daughter. Chicken, steak and seafood were all sampled. The Lobster Risotto was marvelous. The atmosphere was upscale, although a bit noisy, and the view over the Manatee River was lovely. Definitely returning the next time we boat out of Palm..."

"With stunning views of the Manatee River and a golf cart ride to and from the parking area, our meal was already off to a good start.

Prices are high for the menu served and during busy times service does suffer. A..." Read more

"Tried the Riverhouse just a few weeks ago with my Family. Once they figured out who was going to serve our table the experience started to improve. The food was good and apps were as well. Some good fish and very fresh."

"They were very accommodating for seating and separate checks. The food was excellent. There is golf cart shuttle service from the parking lot to the main entry. The driver also is willing to take group photos for you."

"We enjoy the Sunday Brunch. It is reasonably priced and offers a variety of choices. The restaurant provides transportation from the parking lot to the restaurant. The view of the water is wonderful."

"We met an old friend for his birthday, and this was the perfect place. Murphy provided exquisite service......relaxed, helpful, and timely. The menu was varied enough that there was something for everyone, although we each chose some type of seafood. The sweet potato fries were REALLY good, nice and crispy without being greasy."

"Four of us had dinner on a cool evening but that didn't stop us from eating outside. The heaters kept us warm while we enjoyed a nice meal. We had the shrimp and scallops skewers, lobster pot pie, and island ribs. All meals were delicious and promptly served by our attentive waitress. An enjoyable evening and we will be back."

"We stopped on the way home from Orlando on the day after Thanksgiving. The outdoor seating was great. Shaded with a lovely view. It helped that the weather was also great. Good service and food."

"This is the typical Southwest Restaurant, nice atmosphere, medium priced. This is the not the kind of restaurant where you should expect or get gourmet food. We live on Longboat Key and our friends live in St. Pete so we thought this would be a good halfway point. It was perfect for that. We sat outside and they reminded us if we felt too cool we could have..." Read more

"Their Butterfish with fruit salsa was very tasty and fresh. Everyone in my group said that they enjoyed their meals as well.
Decor is simple, but nice. Our server was friendly and professional and the water views on the outdoor dock were outstanding.
I recommend this restaurant. "
