"We had a wonderful meal here in late March. We sat outside (there was a heater to take the chill away) and arrived just in time to see the sunset.

We all enjoyed our meals very much, including the non-seafood/fish eater. The wait staff was attentive and friendly.

Highly recommend!"

"On one of our visits, we took our daughter, boyfriend and other family to the Riverhouse. Our daughter doesn't eat seafood at all while the rest of us devour it. We were so pleased to find the menu was plentiful to accommodate just about anyone. However, the best part of the meal was the food and service. We couldn't have asked for a more delicious meal and..." Read more

"This was our third time at the Riverhouse. It was a warm day, but we were glad to have an inside table as the sun was setting and the breeze was blowing off the gulf."

"We were seated immediately outside overlooking the beautiful waterway (ocean) after having reservations for 1PM. Our hostess was quickly at our table, took our drink orders and then quickly took our lunch orders. Some of us ordered from the $9 Luncheon special menu and we all enjoyed our meals, especially the quesadillas! Drinks were good too, esp. the Cosmo..." Read more

"Went for happy hour and they have really great appetizers and small plate options. The view is amazing and with a coupon, you can get a free good sized appetizer plate. One of our favorite places to go."

"We went to the tail end of happy hour tonight. Our server Jess was amazing. Things were busy and backed up but Jess and management handled it with style. Our food was great and fantasy peanut butter pie. We are never disappointed.
The view of the sunset from the deck was unbelievable tonight.
Thanks the Riverhouse for a great night.

"We visited in late February where the weather was in the 70's. We came down from NY to surprise my parents. We are always elated when we have a great view of the water, food, family and a beautiful sunset to boot. I made reservations...More"

"Great selections and well-managed service! Our favorite for a Salmon Ceasar salad. The choices are varied not just fried this or fried that. Servers are very attentive and you can be a table of 2 or 20 they are well skilled at their trade! Full bar and ambiance that is unsurpassed. Great for a special occasion, business meet or just a dinner out! You will be..." Read more

"Thank you Mark our waiter for an awesome lunch. We had raw oysters, lobster pie and the grilled scallops with rice and huge and perfectly cooked asparagus. I choose the Chloe Chardonnay and Jim had ale. The dinner was so good. The very best. Price is medium to high. Will definitely go back."

"This is one of our favorite dining spots. Great staff, food and view. The restaurant is at the end of a long pier in a marina. They have a tram that picks you up and brings you back from the restaurant. You can walk if you wish. Great for our friend who is wheel chair bound."

"Five of us met at Riverhouse this past Sunday for brunch and to catch up after many years. The restaurant's setting is very pretty with lovely water views. It is set back in the marina, but if you aren't able to walk the distance they have a shuttle. The restaurant itself is bright and attractive. The Sunday brunch menu of breakfast items, is in addition to..." Read more

"We enjoyed dinner upstairs, where we were told was finer dining than downstairs with an upscaled menu. The steak and lobster stuffed with crabmeat was delicious' !
The steak was so tender that a diinner knife, not even a steakknife was needed.
The view of the parade from the second floor was terrific!"
