"Fish and chips came with no chips.  It came with mashed potatoes and broccoli.  Don't call it "Fish and chips" if you aren't going to include half of the name. The fish itself was pretty bad as well."

"Had heard good things....BUT did not have a good experience.  We made reservations and were seated promptly.  It took about 15 minutes for a waitress to arrive at our table.  We ordered apps and after about 20 minutes someone other than our waitress dropped off one of the apps and left...15 minutes later our waitress showed up again and said "didn't you..."

"First time here.  We were excited to go someplace new.  Service was horrible...slow and no apologies.  Was happy to get out appetizer of oysters...large and delicious, however, the crackers were super hard/stale...every package.  We asked for different crackers...again, hard and stale.  Our server brought bread While we were waiting for our entrees....bl..."

"The scallops were over cooked. It was very hot inside we all sweat. The management was some 20 year old in short shorts very unprofessional and not helpful. Didn't care about the customers   Don't go there"

"Great view but wow, my partner got sick and threw up right when we got home. The Mahi was uncooked and he took a bite to realize that...though they fixed it along with the bill, it was late. The fish bite was ok but had some weired taste in some of them. Lobster Fritters were ok. My sushi was disappointing, slightly hard rice, with odd ingredients such as ch..." Read more

"Lisa and Lindsey were rude bar tending outside. We were ignored twice and it was not busy. Both looked at us and walked away without asking if we wanted anything. Would not recommend the outside bar. Food inside is good."

"We ate at the Riverhouse Reef and Grill after living here for two years and driving by the beautiful establishment directly on the water. The ambiance was amazing. The food was so poorly executed we regretted paying for it. We had the bacon wrapped scallops for an appetizer which were nicely presented but overcooked. My husband ordered lobster corn chowder w..." Read more

"Can I give a 0 star???? This was absolutely horrible! Our meal ended up being 56.00 ( no alcohol involved) and it was SOOOO not worth the price. i had lobster stuffed grouper and it was way...... over done! The cheesy mashed potatoes had just big chunks of cheese in it. The vegetable medley was way overcooked and bland! I will never ever go back here. Oh, ye..." Read more

"Don't plan a party or large event here!!Sadly my brother's rehearsal dinner was ruined because we came here with our group! If this wasn't the only upscale (ish) restaurant in the area we would have walked out and gone somewhere else, but we had no choice but to begrudgingly stick around and hope for the best...My brother and his fiancé plann..."

"Not sure what is going on here as in the past this has been a respectable place for a fine meal. We waited 35 minutes past our reservation for a table but they gave us 2 appetizers on the house. So far, so good kinda. The food was horrible. I had lobster tails doused in paprika, almost unedible, grouper stuffed with lobster cake was certainly sub par and mos..." Read more

"Very disappointed for several reasons.  First,we were seated by the hostess and waited at least 10 probably 15 minutes  without any waitstaff approaching our table. I got up and spoke to the hostess who said "no one has been to your table?Then a waitress came to our table and said they just told her to wait on us.  We ordered drinks and t..." Read more

"Run, don't walk, away from this place.  There are WAY too many lovely eateries with a view of the beautiful Manatee River without having to put up with the crap this owner gives you.  Not enough kitchen help, excuses, excuses, excuses and never an apology although it took 1 1/2 HOURS to get our food!  Took 20 minutes just to get a drink order. And this was d..." Read more
