"I like this place. A total gem in Palmetto.First off it has amazing views of the Manatee River and secondly the cooks seem to care that the food is fresh and looks delish on your plate.We had the shrimp and scallop skewers and the lobster pot pie. Both portions were decently sized and presented well. We loved all of it. For sides we had mashe..." Read more

"With its harbor view, warm, intimate setting and good food, Riverhouse Reef provided a great experience for our group of six. Service was friendly, attentive and efficient. Price was right and seafood a special treat."

"Alert! Alert! Alert! Be careful that you don't go to the wrong place! There is another establishment out by the road with a similar name as this place with less stars and much less atmosphere. Make sure to walk out to the marina out back to find the RIGHT establishment. So a beautiful view at the end of the marina with a great menu selection. We stared with..." Read more

"This was my first time here and I only spent time at the outside bar. I had the "kickin shrimp" which was so good I ordered a second order. The service was great, the beer was cold and the other customers were fun. I will definitely be back and would also like to eat a dinner in the restaurant soon."

"Hidden gem! Can't believe I lived in the Bay Area this long and have never been here. The location was amazing and easy to find. The restaurant has a golf cart to take to the restaurant if you don't want to walk down the pier. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with views of the water. We got a chance to watch the sunset when we just sat down...." Read more

"The riverhouse is a great place, they have awesome seafood, and they have a variety of fun things on the menu. Our large party was satisfied fully, my only issue was that I did find a hair in my food, which is quite gross however somewhat understandable. The staff was very nice and our waitress was consistently attentive. They dont often allow reservations,..." Read more

"Good vibes at this place! We went there on a Friday night and sat outside. They had a guy playing guitar and singing. It was extremely enjoyable for a girls night out! Prices are a little high but it's also an upscale place in my opinion so that's to be expected. Great service, great food, and great drinks!"

"In town on business and brought my 2 sons ages 11 & 12. I let them choose the restaurant for dinner and they chose Riverhouse. The location on the water is great and the boys enjoyed the shuttle from the parking to the restaurant. Our server was great and the food was excellent as well. That Hawaiian pineapple n coconut bread is incredible!!! The lobster..." Read more

"Solid menu and I hear this is the place to be on the weekends (live music)! The view is amazing and the menu is strong too!! We hit up the Easter brunch and it was quite good, especially considering the $15/adult, $6/kid price! Good selection of both breakfast and lunch foods and the full menu was strong as well. My only knock here was the Bloody Mary that..." Read more

"I feel this place is a go to for location and scenery. It's fun and has good drink specials for happy hour. I can't speak for entrees, because we only ordered 2 apps, which were decent. I am looking forward to trying their Sunday brunch."

The sunset over the Manatee river only helped to make happy hour enjoyable. We moved inside for dinner to be impressed with more of our experience outside. Our server was fr..." Read more
