"Great spot on the water. Great views. Good service. Good food. Definitely recommend stopping in here. We had the calamari which was so so for me mostly because it was over-breaded. The spring rolls were good and the dipping sauce they come with was amazing- best dipping sauce I've ever tasted.  We also ordered the seared tuna (very good), the fried shrimp bu..." Read more

"While in Florida, we went to Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant a few times because I wanted to keep going back. The bartender, Allen, is awesome! We had oysters on the half shell (sweet, sweet, sweet!), lobster mac and cheese, lobster corn chowder, salad, and several appetizers. My favorite was the lobster corn chowder. I'm drooling as I'm writing this! Best..." Read more

"Excellent visit, great locationPalmetto is getting pretty far from the homestead, but my wife and I had some business in Bradenton, so we made the drive. Showing up sans reservation resulted in a 20 minute wait for a table, which allowed us to enjoy the view over the Marina and water from their patio bar Snook Deck while we waited. It was a beautiful..." Read more

"The BEST restaurant I have visited in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. The seafood is so yummy but so are the burgers and American food. Food is always stellar and so is the service. The view in the day of the boats on the water is also so relaxing. I really really love it at Riverhouse. I wish their was more boathouse restaurants in Tampa Bay.It's alway..." Read more

"Great food, great service and great views. Really enjoyed our food here. Had been to Orlando for Disney and was sick of poor food. This provided great relief to eat some excellent food. Came back for a follow on lunch another day."

"Looking for something with atmosphere but don't want to break the bank? This might be the place for you. Best views from the end of the pier and great selection. Table of four had a wide variety and all were pleased. Great service as well. I specifically came for a grouper sandwich and although good, the clear winner in that category is anna maria oyster bar..." Read more

"A fantastic experience! Our second time here, we tried to make reservations online about 45 minutes earlier, but it was showing no availability. We tried calling, but kept getting voice prompts, so we decided to drive over and hope for an open table.The restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night, but we were able to be seated immediately.

"Came for lunch and had shrimp tacos with black beans and rice. Everything was very good. Came from Southern California 8 months ago and this was the best Mexican food we've had yet.
View is great and our server, Ashley was friendly and efficient.
Planning to come back."

"Went to this place for the views and got an amazing meal too! Ordered the blue crab app to start. Chips were amazing and the dip had a ton of crab meat, wasn't excessively cheesy. You HAVE TO get the lobster pot pie. There's a spice in there that just puts it over the top with flavor. Lots of lobster meat and the puff pastry on top compliments very well. For..." Read more

The side of rice and beans were perfectly seasoned. The French onion soup had a smoky taste that was good but not traditional. The classic burger was a decent size and flav..." Read more

"French onion soup. That's all I really have to say. It's legit the best I have ever had. Besides that the views are to die for and such a nice place. Dying to try the Second Floor on a Friday or Saturday! Can't wait to be and try the fish tacos since I've only heard good things."

"This restaurant was literally on the water. Go to the end of the pier and you are there. Our table was outside in the shade. It was a very windy day so keeping everything in place was a challenge, however, it was 12 below in our home town so we suffered through a little wind. I opted for the strawberry salad. Yum! Fresh, strawberries, candied..." Read more

"We had the Ahi Tuna and then the catch of the day which happened to be Mahi Mahi.  We thought both were delicious.  However, I didn't like that my side salad came at the same time as my meal. Also, the Signature Sauce I chose was the cilantro lime.  I was expecting it to be a sauce drizzled over the fish.   Instead it was basically a cold Tartar sauce in a s..." Read more
