"Food was bland and small portions for my pasta dish. We thought over priced. Guess you pay for view of river"

"Came here for lunch with the family. Was a little disappointed- we had a reservation for 1pm, but didn't get seated until 1:25pm. Our waitress was nice, but a little pushy- at the end of the meal she kept pushing us to get dessert, despite us declining a few times. She then "jokingly" encouraged us to add on to the tip (not too classy). Meals were ok..." Read more

"This steakhouse is just so-so and pricy by most standards. The "pineapple/coconut" bread was hard and old tasting. Salads were limp and skimpy. I got the Mahi with a Caesar and it was not fresh at all, tasted like it was caught last week. The steak and pork chop were quite good. So maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. Key lime pie was good but over..." Read more

"Ambiance was great. Service was wonderful as well. They served bread with cinnamon butter. The bread was really stale and the cinnamon butter was disgusting. I just don't think cinnamon and butter go well on bread together. We ordered the seafood platter for appetizer and it was really good. I had the surf and turf skewers with vegetables and risotto. It was..." Read more

"The food is great. The location and atmosphere is great. BUT, Carrie, our waitress for the last two visits has been terrible. We will go again but will make it a point to ask not to be served by Carrie. A combination of a bad attitude and just bad service from her reduced our satisfaction substantially. Owners need to know that the "total" experience..." Read more

"Beautiful view on the water with an outside table. Server Courtney was especially nice.All the drinks for our family birthday party were good, (except for the Cotton Candy). And for my special request, the server / bartender put together a drink just for me with vodka, sprite and a splash of cranberry juice and grenadine. Very good! Brusche..." Read more

"I went for my second time and the food is okay, the ambience & scenery is gorgeous everyone I was with enjoyed their food but for some reason what I got the last time (fish tacos) and this time (pineapple chicken) was just okay but that won't stop me from going back!"

"The service was fantastic (Mark as waiter). Salmon came out undercooked the first time but the manger came out and apologized furiously. Other dishes were hot and delicious.
(P.S. Ask about Gary the bird)"

"Beautiful view, definitely the best part. Food over priced and just average. Left hungry after a $20 lunch and I'm a light eater. Will not be going back, I eat out for the food, the view should just be an added bonus."

"Really cool place. The food was good not great. I loved the lobster chowder. The outdoor seating and views are amazing especially during sunset. Staff was very friendly. Cool walk out the pier to the actual restaurant makes a very unique experience.
We will be back!"

"Although the food is OK and waitress service very good, do not trust the establishment to honor any coupon. My experience last night was ridiculous. After ordering the Fish Bites appetizer and mentioning the Free Appetizer coupon, the MANAGER refused to honor it because it was for a free LARGER order than the happy hour SMALLER order that we received. Abs..." Read more

"Gosh. This used to be our favorite place in town. And now it's just, meh. I don't know what happened. Feels like they kind of just gave up and started serving food straight out of the Sysco Food truck. They still have a great view and it's a nice place to sit outside and grab a beer. The patio area is dog friendly, so I will give them an extra star f..." Read more

"Love the location of this resturant, the entertainment was great, the food was good.. Only reason i gave it a 3 instead of 5 was because of my server, Carmen. If you get her, youll be first to arrive and last to be attended, making your food last, making her forget about the leftover plates on your table and also having to wait until shes ALL done with peop..."

"Go here for atmosphere not food or service.I have been here several times to entertain work colleagues.The atmosphere is wonderful.I would say the food is what you would get at an Applebee's. The sides were low quality. Vegetable medley is definitely microwaved and the mashed potatoes were old and dry.It took 15 minutes to get..." Read more

We sat inside but near glass walls . We got to. See the sunset . The only bad part is that we were next to the bar . Where there is a lot of Loud rude people standing right behind my husband chai..."

"We have arrived by boat and they have restaurant dock to hook up the boat. The restaurant foundation is support by piles and is over the water. The outside deck is a beauty for this weather when you dine out. You can see boat come and go on the Manatee River. The restaurant have the lunch menu and their food is typical more expensive than the nearby..." Read more

"On this first time visit, We found the Fishhouse to be in a great setting and to have wonderful service but the portions were extremely small for the price. As a starter, I had a very nicely presented Red Sangria and an excellent fresh tossed salad. However, I was disappointed with my entree of ocean scallops ordered from the fresh seafood portion of..."

"The kickin shrimp and green goddess shrimp are pretty good if they don't drench them in sauce. The mushroom Swiss burger is pretty good too. Fish & chips were just ok. Calamari was chewy and flavorless. Black cod was pretty good but the flavor was so powerful that after a few bites you got tired of it. Overall this place is just ok, and a bit over pric..."

"Tonite, we took some very important people for dinner. First of all, the yelp website said they took reservations. No. When I called, they said they didn't take reservations!! Happy hour on the website says you can get appetizers. No so. We arrived at 5:20. It took forever to get the 4th drink to our table ( it was only a draft beer) . We didn't leave..." Read more

"On our vacation and local friends brought us here. I wasn't overly impressed with the service at first, but as our server warmed up to us, it got a bit better. We ordered appies: coconut shrimp and the artichoke dip. Our coconut shrimp were very dark/over done and when we brought it to our server's attention, she told us a second/replacement order wo..."

"My high expectations really were not met when I ate here. It's the truth. I drove a little out of my way while on a business trip to grab food here and while the food was okay, I thought it could have been better. I arrived right on time--happy hour! The food I ordered was off of the happy hour menu and were finger foods, like coconut shrimp. Most of..." Read more

"My family and I came here for the Mother's brunch buffet. We thought the quality of the food was pretty good. They had flavorful steak and sweet lobster. The fish was a bit dry, however. In addition, the food was slightly cold. We had a great view of the water as we ate our meals."
