"Little overpriced and underwhelming. Nice atmosphere and good service, but kitchen needs skills."

"The Riverhouse Reef & Grill is in a great spot with plenty of parking. Your experience may begin with the optional, and educational, golf cart ride on the dock to reach the restaurant. There are outside & inside bar and seating areas. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor tables for lunch or dinner. The food has been reliably good on several visits. Ho..." Read more

"Overall I was very disappointed with food. The menu boasts fresh bread and seafood. I purchased the lobster roll which was literally 2 scoops of seafood salad and a clump of actual lobster meat on top. The whole sandwich tastes like something I could have had at subway for half if not quarter of the price. My wife had sea scallops which were literally frozen..." Read more

"Don't go on the weekend! We usually go during the week. We went on father's day, they ran a 1/2 off to dads. We waited 20 minutes to even see our waitress, cassie. It went down from there. Upon leaving, we reminded her of the "specail". (Too much math for her and the Manager on duty, Nate.) Between them and a cell phone calculator they could not figure it ou..." Read more

"Nothing more nothing less than average Florida tourist trap. When I was a young kid growing up in Palmetto this same little island was home to The Marine Room Restaurant... THAT was real, fresh and delicious seafood. Nothing is quality anymore in Florida."

"As a 15 yr former bartender the mixed drinks were horrible. Not the bartenders fault though. I don't think she was 1. Properly trained. OR 2. Her workload was too heavy."

"We recently took a family vacation from NE Ohio to Bradenton, FL. We searched for a restaurant that would meet the varying tastes of the 10 adults and children in our party and found the Riverhouse. We were very excited to have dinner there, as we were impressed with customer reviews and the menu was perfect! We were told that we should make a reservation..." Read more

"My lobster mac had "lobster" that looked suspiciously like crab. It also tasted like bait. Pretty views. They took it off the bill, so there's that."

"Very recently I ate dinner here, and was pleased with bread, beverages and service, but not with the meal. I ordered red fish which was very over cooked and lacking in taste. It is my intention to avoid eating here again. I am very sorry about this choice, as the ambience is great and it is a local restaurant not a chain, but for me it is all about the food...." Read more
