"We went there last night for dinner with friends. Hadn't been since Covid and it was great then. The first thing that hit us was the temperature in the restaurant. It was freezing! Even the hostess admitted it was always like this. We waited for 40 minutes to get a drink and then another 30-40 for our meals. On a bright note the food was very good but it was..." Read more

"Family of 6 many items ordered most were brought out cold with the exception of the hot soup that arrived without a spoon and the last entree that arrived at least 10 minutes after the other meals. I know staffing is difficult for restaurants and kitchens can have an off night What I do not understand is the lack of a manager who might have checked on ta..." Read more

"It’s been a decent while since I’ve taken time to review anything. Formerly Yelp Elite ‘12 and ‘13. But that’s neither here nor there. What is here at Riverhouse is a lack of consistency. The only things which are consistent include the cheerful, hard working staff (except for Alvin - stop flirting with the ladies) and the beautiful waterfront views. As a r..." Read more

"My husband and I had lunch Dec 5th, I ordered a rum drink for 12.00 and it was watered down, mostly ice 6oz glass. (NOT WORTH 12.00). I had the teriyaki glazed chicken over rice which was not bad also, not worth the money. I also had the fries with my meal. The french fries were the same you would get in a fast food restaurant and definitely had been sitting..." Read more

"To preface, the view was good, but the food was only ok. Not horrible, but pretty mediocre compared to what was expected. We had to wait for a long time for our food, especially because our waitress forgot to put our order in. We ended up spending too much time in this restaurant waiting for the food, that wasn't even worth the wait honestly."

"We called ahead to check wait or make a reservation for outside, was told a reservation wasn't needed. We arrive and was told 15 minutes. 30 minutes later still waiting and 2 girls up front with attitude. Once seated there were 14 open tables. Food was decent but one meal was not as ordered. Good service from server and good view."

"Well, where do I start? I usually do not take the time to write a bad review Customers rarely say anything at all, they just go somewhere else!! Right? Well, their “space” and place is amazing. On the water, beautiful scenery and the staff is great. HOWEVER……….. I am afraid to say, I’d rather eat fast food than their food. I thought to myself, maybe I..." Read more

"We eat downstairs all the time and the food, staff and sunsets are amazing. However, last weekend we finally made reservations for the upstairs dining room and frankly we just don't get it. The atmosphere was awesome; much quieter with great views. The staff was, as expected, delightful. However, the food was just mediocre and more expensive. I had pasta wit..." Read more

"This used to be our favorite place to dine. Right on the water, it is beautiful. The past two times we have gone on a weekend, the service has not been good. On Sunday my husband & I were seated and assigned to a waitress who had 2 huge parties, as well as another table, and us. She was nice, but she shouldn't have been assigned extra tables with the 2 h..." Read more

"The brunch which was Egg benedict crabcake was good and very affordable. The calamari appetizer was a bit pricey at dollars for its quantity and taste. The ambiance was really gorgeous by the Manatee River. Just too busy and the bar staff is having a problem prioritizing, lots of people wanted to check out and many are waiting to order. It took me about..." Read more

"Service is great, food not so much. I had the spring rolls which seemed like frozen food, not fresh made. I also had the fish and chips. The fish was soggy and separated from the batter. Great view of the Manatee River though!"

"I gave the Riverhouse a second chance as I was told it is under new ownership. I was very disappointed as were my dinner guests in the quality and presentation of our dinners. The "butter Fish" was not prepared as stated in the menu. Instead of marinated and caramelized fish with mango salsa, the fish was bland, pale and soggy. The shrimp and..." Read more

"It's all about the view, not the food. A popular place but I would not return, or recommend. Ordered a Bloody Mary for $10 and it arrived in the smallest tulip glass I've ever seen...maybe 6oz and mostly ice! Appropriate size for a kid's Shirley Temple, laughable for an adult beverage. My turkey sandwich may well have been "roasted", at one time, before..." Read more

"Beautiful location on the water with a wonderful breeze. We were there for a Sat champagne brunch. Nice selection of juices, though they and the champagne were chilled NOT cold. The meal was mediocre at best. Rye toast was cold and wouldnt melt the hockey puck of butter with one jam choice of watery blackberry. The potatoes were tasty but the pieces wer..." Read more

"Always wanted to try this spot and this evening I got a chance too. Needless to say it was a major disappointment. First off, the shuttle driver was so sweet. John gets two thumbs up. The hostesses were unfriendly and they should work on greeting people. After waiting a few mins we were sat. The hostess threw the menus on table and dipped. Being a former wai..." Read more

"Lovely Atmosphere but we ordered the Grouper both in a sandwich and meal. It did not taste fresh, but more fishy. It was over breaded. And then the Grouper was dry. My sweet potato fries were dry and cold. So you say why did you not ask for something else. We were others celebrating a birthday and did not want to put a damper on the celebration. We will thin..."

"Food was very average, crab cakes were only just warm and heavy. Service rushed and not too polite, one of the main sides arrived with appetisers, tuna looked good but tasted of nothing."
