"Just a follow up! To date The Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant hasn't continued the conversation regarding my review as suggested by a Business Manager named Alanna V. Very disappointing!"

"Long overdue review!This restaurant is in the Palmetto area. The outdoor seating of this restaurant is nice seeing boats and jet ski's on the river. Hence the name of the restaurant.The lobster rolls here are delicious and you get 2 mid size rolls with chunky slab of lobster meat. It is mayo based dressing and I requested no lettuce o..."

"Our group of six ate here on Sunday. It's a nice large restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was very good and the service was very good too. I'd definitely eat here again."

"I'll start by saying that choosing this restaurant was a TOTAL shot in the dark. I was meeting a group for lunch who's staying in Sarasota, so I looked on the map on Yelp and found a middle point between us. Then I looked by the inland bodies of water/marinas to try to find a waterfront restaurant I could make a reservation at. In comes Riverhouse Waterfront..." Read more

"Winnie and I stopped in for lunch. Initially, great view, but service was slow, food mediocre, prices high. $75 for lunch with no alcohol. All in all, wouldn't go back."

"Great service, great food. We came to visit from out of town and the server gave us suggestions of other places to check out. The only thing I was not a fan of was the blueberry lemonade it tasted sort of like chemicals. I ordered shrimp Alfredo and my husband had the grouper sandwich. And we also had the grouper bites. All were delicious. Server kep..." Read more

"So far I have tried the lobster roll and the grouper tacos. The lobster roll was the most bland lobster I think I have had in a roll before. Would not recommend that. On the flip side the Grouper Tacos were good. I got it with the rice and beans and would get that again. Location is really nice, if the weather is good I would recommend sitting outside on the..."

"Alana Vandernoard, this is my third attempt to contact you via the website that you directed me to today via TripAdvisor, so thank you for your timely response. I second my fiancé who told you those two imbeciles at the hostess stand should bus tables or work anywhere where rudeness is expected. Your restaurant is beautiful, unfortunately you set such..."

"Excellent food and atmosphere, if your looking for a casual easy going place for dinner with a water view can go wrong."

"The views are cool but the cocktails seemed to be lacking in flare and the food was just slightly above average. Cool place to check out if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way for it"

"Stopped in at the Riverhouse last night for a first date (I guess she is a regular here for her first dates ), but we had a great time regardless. The place is pretty big, but we made reservations and would recommend doing that for any party trying to eat there. I got there a little early as I was trying to beat the storm and got to meet Murphy,..." Read more

"Their fish tacos are awesome! I would also recommend the jumbalaya if your not in the mood for sea food. I stopeed over again last week and had their salmon and that was awesome as well! mashed potatoes could use some work.
Their drinks are really good, the rum runner is fantastic and blueberry lemonade was delicious!!"

"Disappointed with the food but the service was very good and the ambience was nice. Fried calamari was tough. The grouper bites were pretty good. The Greek salad was just OK. Others in our party were also meh about their food. One had the jambalaya and another had a burger. The burger had to be sent back. Overcooked. I want to give a better review bu..." Read more

"The dip was on happy hour for $7. Def really good but a tad salty The lobster roll, was a tad pricey, $29.99 market price. I don't think I ever paid this much for a lobster roll but it was good. I didn't like the cole slaw and the waiter replaced it for me. She was also super attentive and had a great attitude, def would recommend this place!..." Read more

"Beautiful day of the river and outside/inside dining. Our party shared grouper bite appetizer that was very good. Kicken chicken was also good but not unique or spicy. Salad was very fresh and good. Broccoli and cauliflower sides were just average - little seasoning but at least not musht. My lobster pot pie was piping hot and good. The puff pastry on..." Read more

"Atmosphere - Excellent. The restaurant is located at the end of a pier, on the Manatee River, near a marina the end of a pier. The lower level offers casual dining, while the upper level hosts a fine dining experience. We chose the casual option and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is upscale marine and has nice views. There is a small bar on the lef..." Read more

"First time having dinner in many years. We arrived a little early, but they were able to seat the 4 of us. There was a happy hour menu for appetizers and drinks, but we did learn that the prices were lower because you got a smaller portion. Hmmmmm I thought having happy hour prices meant you got a reduction on the normal price. The menu is va..." Read more

"We enjoyed sitting outside and watching the sunset over the water while we ate. I ordered the fish tacos, and they were good but not great. They were served with shredded cheese on top, and I think they would be better with some type of pico or slaw and cotija cheese and avocado. The tortilla chips that came with the fish tacos were some of the best I've had..." Read more

"Great view of the harbor, pleasant staff and good food. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip which was paired with the crispy made chips. Our entrees were the steak tips on garlic mashed potatoes which reminded me of pot roast but it was still good. We also ordered the fish and chips which was delicious as well. Didn't take a picture of the food but took som..." Read more

"1st and not the last time at Second Floor at Riverhouse. Service was great all night by Holly. We started off with some libations and shared the Angus Potstickers and Bluecrab Dip. Both were very good but I thought for the price you could have received a couple more potstickers. We then had the burrata and beet salad and New England clam chowder. Both we..." Read more

"Wonderful service! We got to the restaurant during happy hour, drinks and apps were very reasonably priced. We sat outside and caught a glimpse of a dolphin and the sunset. Food was delicious, and came as ordered. Our waiter was attentive and very accommodating! Highly recommend!"
