"Stopped here for lunch after cruising the Manatee River. Neat place. Ate outside on the deck and enjoyed the sun and the view. Good sandwiches, fish tacos, sliders. Service was excellent. Well worth visiting if you are in the area."

"Great food and atmosphere! We are indoors on a cool evening and had a great sunset and water view. We did see a few dolphins swimming by. Ribs, fish and desserts were all excellent. Service was very good. Recommend getting reservations ahead."

"The setting on the Manatee River is beautiful. The food was good but not outstanding. Or waitress seemed very distracted. Did not bring the salads out first, she brought the salads out with the main dish which I find very odd. We went there with two other couples. The size of the table was excessively wide so that you felt that we had to talk louder for the..." Read more

The reviews were good and we decided to try it. We were certainly pleased. The service was excellent and the food was great! We had a nice view of the river as the sun was going down. Added to the dining ex..." Read more

Live music outside and the bartender was good and quick... outside! I am going to have to start with management. Covid has made life complicated so I'm down with things taking a little longer... however.... to..." Read more

"We had a lovely evening on the deck overlooking the Manatee river and the sky line of Bradenton. Waiter was excellent and very cautious. The dinner was served very promptly and it was delicious. The ribs are the thing to order, they were delicious. The surf and turf needs work. The lobster was cut in half and the size of a table spoon of meat. "

"We met another couple for dinner and had a very enjoyable evening. Yes, there is little bit of an a rather enjoyable hike from the parking lot to the restaurant. Sat outside on a beutiful evening. The service was good. Dinners were average, but prepared and presented well. Would I go back ? Yes."

"Went there last night and had a great meal. The blue crab dip was delicious. The shrimp and scallop skewers were cooked just right and scrumptious. Our waiter was wonderful. Loved everything about this place"

"Our last night in town we found the newly opened elevated floor to the Riverhouse.
Elegant seating with outstanding Surf and Turf dinner and beautiful piano background music!!
When you call for reservations to the Riverhouse ask for the upstairs restaurant. You will not be disappointed.
Great service with a menu that will appeal to all!!!"

"Can not beat the location by the water. That being said, the food is not any thing worth giving a second try. We had the fish and chips and grouper tacos. The fish and chips were obviously frozen and just ok, and we question whether or not the grouper tacos were even grouper. These tacos were horrible. The fish was dried out flakes and did not appear to be g..." Read more

"The meal was very tasteful I had Calamari, Shredded beef with peppers and onions was cooked perfectly. with black beans on rice. The first drink a margarita was very good but the second drink; I wondered if they put anything in it besides ice. My second drink was so underwhelming. We were a party of 4 seating was inside and outside (Outside was a bit..." Read more

"We went on a Thursday night, group of 5, had no issues getting a table at 6pm. The restaurant was very loud, the noise carries and its very hard to have a conversation. Beautiful restaurant, the view of the river is nice. It is at the end of the dock and a shuttle service is provided from the parking lot. We made use of this for my grandparents. We ordered t..."

"Visited this establishment today for a drink and when I asked the barman if it would be better to buy a bottle of wine instead of individual glasses as there was three of us having wine. He said that because it was happy hour, it was better to buy glasses. Consequently, we ordered two beers and three wines and he charged me $22. Considering that the beer..." Read more

"How could someone not appreciate dining while looking out on an expanse of water, boats, and beautiful scenery - while encountering welcoming people. Bar-seated diners raved about the spareribs with home-made chips. The female server at the bar-seats was very attentive and very welcoming. The entire Marina/ Harbor area appeared fun, filled with different mus..." Read more

"Have eaten at this restaurant, by the water, several times. Never disappointed. Food has always been exceptional, no matter what I ordered, and service always great. Would recommend getting a table outside, if you are there for supper, as the sunsets are spectacular. There is also a short shuttle ride along the pier to bring patrons from the parking lot to t..."
