"Beautiful scenery to eat at for a restaurant! The food on the first floor is waaaayyyyyy better than the second floor! The food servings are small portions. I had an event there on the second floor and the owner Kris was not so friendly AT ALL, one thing that they don’t offer is food tasting so I had tried a couple menus downstairs thinking the food was th..."

"12+ year customer - sadly worst experience here in all those years.   2 hours for a simple lunch with excuse that family with baby came in after us required the baby food right away and a table got wrong bill which caused management to be unable to correct.   So why a restaurant which 2 other waiters passed multiple times with many meals didn't fix ours we w..."

"I ordered the grouper blackened with aioli, crab dip and Caesar salad. We had poor service topped with poor food execution (cold, no drink refills, not clearing the plates, incorrect or missing sides, etc.). The waitress didn't apologize for the inconveniences or get the manager as she indicated. It's a nice location but we will not be back."

"I love the food here however my last couple experiences have not been so good. 1. We were eating dinner outside on a chilly/cold night but we had one the heaters which was perfect. Until another server just came and took it and gave it to another table. There were no other heaters available and they didn’t care. 2. Ordered food online to pickup. Waited 35-40..." Read more

"Smallest bowl of seafood (shrimp) pasta I've ever seen. It was like a kids portion...delicious but I definitely left hungry. The person that was taking me out for a lovely meal was so upset. Her mahi tacos were very dry and over cooked. The service does not have a warm feeling either, very cold and unconcerning. Things seem to be going downhill...been he..." Read more

"Other than the great water views, this was an embarrassing disappointment. We came to celebrate a birthday, and asked for a table upstairs on the deck. No one bothered to tell us that upstairs is open ONLY on weekends. However, we did get a nice table with a view on the first floor. Our server was very friendly, but the four of us got only three menus and no..." Read more

"We had such a great experience here two years ago that we decided to come back. Unfortunately it will be our last. I get the phrase "island time", but I think we were in a different dimension. Sloooow the entire time. From seating, to drinks, to appetizers, to our meal. I think our meals showed up 45 mins after our apps. I realize we are in differe..." Read more

"Breakfast was mediocre at best. View was beautiful & nice day for breakfast on patio. Blood Mary was sad, No celery, olives, pickle, just bought mix. Breakfast was cold & small servings. Won’t be back for breakfast. Again view was beautiful though."

"Wow, after last night's dinner, I had to come back and change the previous 5-star review I left a couple years ago to the current 2-star review. For context, we've gone there for years, including date nights, couples dinners, Christmas Party (Crow's Nest rental), and most recently, engagement celebration. The best thing about this place is the view from th..." Read more

"Food not great! French onion soup was a cup not a bowl, had little to no cheese and came out warm not hot! Pastrami Ruben how do you serve a Ruben without saurkraut and if your serving a Ruben what restaurant does not have thousand island dressing? Really? Chicken salad sandwich looked like the chicken went in a blender! Great location got the two stars, foo..." Read more

"I'm sorry I did not have the same experience as the 4.5 rating would suggest. The service was well below average and no, it was not even busy. The food was mediocre at best and the cost is more like $$$, not $$ as Google suggests. I not from around this area, but anyone traveling, reading reviews...I'd suggest someplace else. I really do not like giving..." Read more

"After great day at Anna Maria, we stopped for dinner. We asked for a window seat but instead sat in corner against wall looking at sinking pontoon boat. We did have a nice waitress who said the Lobster pot pie was a great seller. I ordered that and my husband had Fresh Catch grouper blackened. The kitchen staff carried out plates out instead of waitress and..." Read more

"We have been coming to the Riverhouse over the past 5 years when we visit our parents in Lakewood Ranch. I'm not sure after this visit, we will ever be back. We visited the Sunday after Valentine's Day. We waited an hour for our table (which we did not mind). Once seated around 7:30, our server informed us they were out of bread, all oysters, chicken wings,..." Read more

"Dined at 2nd Floor, Riverhouse's new upstairs concept. It was forgettable unfortunately. I was really wanting to love this experience as there are so few finer dining options in the immediate area. The atmosphere was terrible, we were seated all the way around the corner from the main dining room in an area that has potential, except there are couches direct..." Read more

"The Waterfront Restaurant has a beautiful ambiance which sits on the river.  However, the food last evening was not so good. I ordered fish & chips and was totally disappointed. The 2 large pieces of fish were very dark in color and tasted burnt. It tasted like it was cooked in old oil & was way overcooked. The french fries were cooked perfectly thou..." Read more

"the scenic setting is worth a million dollars. The food, the service is not worth much at all. Our waitress was not very pleasant and provided the barest amount of customer service possible. No bread. No water. No return follow up after our meals were delivered. Is everything OK? Do you need anything? She could have cared less.The portion of grouper was extr..." Read more
