"Went there last night and had a great meal. The blue crab dip was delicious. The shrimp and scallop skewers were cooked just right and scrumptious. Our waiter was wonderful. Loved everything about this place"

"Our last night in town we found the newly opened elevated floor to the Riverhouse.
Elegant seating with outstanding Surf and Turf dinner and beautiful piano background music!!
When you call for reservations to the Riverhouse ask for the upstairs restaurant. You will not be disappointed.
Great service with a menu that will appeal to all!!!"

"The meal was very tasteful I had Calamari, Shredded beef with peppers and onions was cooked perfectly. with black beans on rice. The first drink a margarita was very good but the second drink; I wondered if they put anything in it besides ice. My second drink was so underwhelming. We were a party of 4 seating was inside and outside (Outside was a bit..." Read more

Beautiful atmosphere right on the bay. We also had a mermaid as our waitress. Well basically, her name was Ariel and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. No complaints. Will definitely b..."

"Every Wednesday from 3 'till close, you can buy a bottle of house wine for $9 and take home what you don't drink...if that's the case. What a deal! I always take a visiting friend here to see the sunset over the Manatee River from the deck and enjoy a great meal here, too.So many fish choices! You can't go wrong with any of them. I have never had..." Read more

"What a great dinner at the Riverhouse in Palmetto. The food was all very good. Our server was very helpful and friendly. It was busy on a Sunday evening. We were told there would be a 30-35 minute wait, but they called us for our table in about 10 minutes. The fried grouper tacos were great, with a lot of fish. The lobster corn chowder was very tasty. Others..." Read more

I had called and asked about a reservation but since we were coming early we didn't need one. We were seated inside with a great view of the dolphin frolicking i..." Read more

"Great views and good food. We love going for an afternoon snack, drink and great views. The service was good, but I think they had our waitress spread a little bit thin. They were accommodating in seating and they have great prices."

It had been a stormy day and their outside seating was closed, but because we wanted to be outside they cleaned up an area for us and let us sit outside for our Anniversary dinner. It was a clear evening. The male waiter was so nice and gave us a free dessert because of our..." Read more

"Dined here on the last night of our vacation which also happened to be Easter. It was the best meal we had the entire week.

Would absolutely recommend as I woul..." Read more
