"I loved this place! The only reason I give one less star is due to the cranky hostesses. I would assume especially during this time, the hostess of all people would be welcoming and chat and create a space of safety and comfort. There were three girls up there who appeared to be angry, hot, bored, idk and when asking for a table for two outside, there was n..." Read more

"Food was great maybe a little under staffed because of COVID. We had the lobster bisque, tuna tataki and the Mac cheese. The tuna tataki and the lobster bisque were amazing!"

"Brought in laws for Anniversary dinner. Spectacular view, friendly courteous staff and good food. Big portions, tasty and well presented. Even gave the in-laws a complimentary adorned dessert per my request. I didn't ask for a free dessert just that it'd be personalized. Nice touch Riverhouse. New to SW FL. and will bring our NJ/NY friends here when they vis..." Read more

"Yum! I was looking for a waterfront restaurant in the area and I found Riverhouse on yelp. I met my sister there for lunch. We were able to get a beautiful outdoor table overlooking the water, but completely covered from the sun. From the appetizers we ordered the fish dip. It was very good. From the main menu I got the lobster roll with the..." Read more

"The Riverhouse is a good resturant for food and scenery. We try to eat there once a month and it is the place we take large groups and people from our of town. Their large menu can please everyone in a crowd."

"I really enjoyed this restaurant. We went there tonight with my wife and my in-laws. It has a very nice ambience. It is casual but it is also on the waterfront at the end of a long pier. There is a golf cart shuttle to take you down to the restaurant. I can't remember the drivers' name but he was extremely friendly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating...." Read more

"Unfortunately this location updated their menu where they no longer have the cheesy potatoes. The waitress was accommodating and brought over a side of cheese. However the mashed potatoes simply are not nearly as good and were one of the best side dishes I had tried before I tried my salmon blackened this time and it had a lot of flavor. I was happy..."

"While staying with friends in Apollo Beach, they suggested eating at the Riverhouse. They never ate there but got a recommendation. Driving south and coming over the bridge into Palmetto, you quickly realize the how beautiful the marina area is and how easy to miss the turnoff. We ate outside and saw the green flash at sunset, spectacular. Eating at a fi..." Read more

"Long walk to restaurant. Didn't know there was a golf cart shuttle until we left. Employees were fabulous. Rice and vegetables were delicious. Lobster pie had very little flavor. Didn't care for the bread, it was VERY SWEET. Drinks were constantly refilled. We can say that we have tried this restaurant. Many more in the area to try and we will."

"Amazing grouper sandwich and good drinks. Pretty good service -- ALWAYS wait for outside seating. They try to deter you by telling you a bogus wait time. They told us 45 minutes for an outside table and we said we'd wait. They sat us less than 5 minutes later at a table with an amazing view."

"Food was very good. Server was good .Price point was good. We loved the view. Sunset was awesome. They stuck us in a dead corner so we had to look for our server. But we will be back but will not sit in a forgotten section."

"I came here with a group of 10 for dinner after spending the day in operation meetings, our reservation was mid-week so we were seated immediately after arriving. Most of my associates were blown away by the location being most traveled in from the north and it seemed everyone's expectations were pretty high I know mine were. I dine out quite a bit since I u..." Read more

"Enjoyed the bar area outside... We were going to hit the restaurant but there was a wait for outside seating and plenty of seating at the rail by the bar so...Food was good (shrimp po'boy, nachos and burger) by bar food standards and the view was unbeatable. Live music.Also- you can smoke in the bar area so hubby was happy to enjoy his post-lunch cig..." Read more

"We left Pier 22 after a bad experience and decided to venture over to Riverhouse and what a refreshing switch. Great view, much better service, and great tasting food. This place restored our faith in large waterside eateries. They tend to get complacent because they rely on their view. But not this place. You guys are nailing it. Most of all thanks..." Read more

"A happy complete opposite experience of our first meal here. Service was amazing - our server was charming, funny, and attentive to every need. We dined with friends and all enjoyed our meals. The tilapia was very flavorful (although mine was a tad overdone), the grouper was great, and the Hawaiian chicken was delicious. I don't usually comment on the side v..." Read more

"Good food, tasted great with pretty decent service. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Very accommodating to gluten free and vegetarian request in both drinks (gluten free ciders) and foods (we asked for the chips with the spinach dip to be gf as well as buns on the burgers). Only a few vegetarian options but all seemed appetizing."
