"Portions were small for the price. Lobster Pot Pie was good, fried fish was ok, jambalaya was bland-no andoulie sausage, even tho it showed on the menu. Service was very good, scenery was great if you like water views."

"Nice place to eat on the water. Wait was ridiculous, hostess said she wrote down my number wrong, but didn't bother to come and get us to be seated. Instead we had to ask again how long it would be. Same for service once seated. Took forever for the food to arrive. Thank goodness the food was good, so not a total loss."

"Beautiful setting on the water. Great appetizer experience with bartender Michelle. Hate to rate only *** But my Lobster Roll dinner was the pits. The stale roll was like, right out of the fridge, cold, and not buttered. First thought when I received my dinner was, "where's the lobster?" Nothing like the online photos. In essence, I paid $22 for a platter of..." Read more

"Ordered two $32 rib eye steaks, small shrimp and scallop pasta, an order of mahi mahi and ribs. Ribs were great, side order of sweet potato fries were overdone and very hard. The mahi mahi was also overdone, the pasta, although a very small portion, was excellent. Both steaks were ordered medium rare, one came that way and was great, the other came well done..."

"Good food, good service . We ate outside since they were not enforcing the mask wearing, we ate dockside. Even so groups of people would be walking by without masks. The employees all were Great with service but the lack luster attitude, even telling people that you can still get inside without a mask was troubling. This was overheard not once but by three d..."

"First time going and we had looked at what we thought was the menu, but we went upstairs and it was a different menu, rice was main side. The surf and turf with claws (only) were overcooked. Some of the asparagus was stringy. It wasn’t the best dining experience. I will say we went early and people were well spaced. We’ll try downstairs next time."

"I choose the Riverhouse because my husband and I have been there before; we usually go off season. I think the food is great. I had family visiting so I suggested the Riverhouse. I felt for the food, service and view it would a nice choice. The food was as I expected. My family enjoyed it. The service was not good. Maybe it was a new person. Maybe is was bus..." Read more

"Great service and beautiful outdoor seating. Unfortunately the meal was nothing to write home about. My guests fries came out cold, they did bring out warmer ones. My Mojito was NOT good, didn't muddle the mint and lime, no sugar cane or even simple syrup, very disappointing. Excellent dessert."

"Had brunch today with my wife. Sat outside. Everything was good, except for the gulls, which were beyond annoying. You need to try hanging owls. They're very effective. Until then, will dine elsewhere."

"The service here is hit and miss. Sometimes it is pretty good, sometimes it not so good. The food is ok (the burgers are disappointing). It seems like they are trying to be an upscale restaurant, but they miss the mark (repeatedly). I think they would do better focusing on being a fun neighborhood restaurant. They do have a nice outdoor seating area on the w..." Read more

"Although the staff was very friendly and the bartenders were excellent. The food was very disappointing. My fish and chips were over cooked. My husbands oysters were not fresh and did not taste very good. Even after expressing his disappointment. Nothing was offered to even compensate the poor food. Will not be returning."
