"This was by far a wonderful dining experience. Amazing food (I had the Lobster Pot Pie which was fantastic), and the most reasonable prices! Highly recommend, we will be back!"

"Beautiful view of the water, even better when watching the sunset! Great menu, food is a little pricey but great quality. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. One of our favorite restaurants in town! Great for a date night."

"The BEST restaurant I have visited in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. The seafood is so yummy but so are the burgers and American food. Food is always stellar and so is the service. The view in the day of the boats on the water is also so relaxing. I really really love it at Riverhouse. I wish their was more boathouse restaurants in Tampa Bay.It's alway..." Read more

"Great food, great service and great views. Really enjoyed our food here. Had been to Orlando for Disney and was sick of poor food. This provided great relief to eat some excellent food. Came back for a follow on lunch another day."

"Looking for something with atmosphere but don't want to break the bank? This might be the place for you. Best views from the end of the pier and great selection. Table of four had a wide variety and all were pleased. Great service as well. I specifically came for a grouper sandwich and although good, the clear winner in that category is anna maria oyster bar..." Read more

"It was the worst food I have had in awhile. Crab dip wasn't appetizing, the lobster pot pie was like a frozen dinner, and way too much salt. There was nothing to say positive about this place. It was awful."

"Horrible experience- they have a crackhead with an nasty attitude working the front desk. They let a few couple before us that we're there own kind until we complain and got sat, waited forever with no one to greet us so we got up and left. Stay away from this place."

"A fantastic experience! Our second time here, we tried to make reservations online about 45 minutes earlier, but it was showing no availability. We tried calling, but kept getting voice prompts, so we decided to drive over and hope for an open table.The restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night, but we were able to be seated immediately. As it wa..." Read more

"I used to eat here at least once a week and would have lunch with co-workers there sometimes. It was always good food and ok service. I couldn't wait to take family from out of town there to show off one of my favorite restaurants . The waitress was extremely rude. Two of us got the wrong food. The waitress seemed angry at us when we told her . I thought may..." Read more

"Was there 4/2/22..... raining cats and dogs out. The place was empty. When ordering, someone asked to substitute either fries or mashed potatoes for the rice. Waitress says they don't substitute, but would ask the chef. Both the mashed and french fries were on the menu as an accompaniment with other dishes. She takes the order, and another service person c..." Read more

"Came for lunch and had shrimp tacos with black beans and rice. Everything was very good. Came from Southern California 8 months ago and this was the best Mexican food we've had yet.
View is great and our server, Ashley was friendly and efficient.
Planning to come back."

"My boyfriend and I came here for lunch and received great service and everything we ordered was really good. We loved the view and ambiance! My only complaint is the drinks were not good at all. I ordered a mojito and the lime and mint weren't muddled, it just tasted like club soda with a ton of simple syrup, way too sweet. I ordered a white sangria next but..." Read more

"Great view of the water but the service was incredibly slow, we had to wait for everything including a menu. I had the grouper sandwich which was marginal at best and overpriced. Maybe not as fancy but I'd recommend Woodys in Ellenton for better service and food."

"The service from John was fabulous! The food was very good and the ice tea was great. There was a little wait for a table and the hostess seemed to be a little snippy. However, our waiter, John, was outstanding. he never kept us waiting and anticipated our needs before we could ask. He was very customer oriented (unlike the hostess). The location on the dock..."

"Ordered the blackened chicken Alfredo and my guest ordered the seafood Alfredo, both were very bland and tasted like it was prepare and heated up. Definitely it from scratch and very bland. I had high hopes but unfortunately everything we tried at this place seemed like ready made heat and serve meals. 1 star."

"Pros: the lobster chowder was p good. Everyone else was satisfied with their meals as well, besides my grandma who didn't like the French onion soup she ordered. Cons: our table seemed to not be cleaned up or prepared at all when we were seated. Multiple chairs had coleslaw on them and there were booster seats still on a couple of the chairs. The tab..."

"Excellent visit, great locationPalmetto is getting pretty far from the homestead, but my wife and I had some business in Bradenton, so we made the drive. Showing up sans reservation resulted in a 20 minute wait for a table, which allowed us to enjoy the view over the Marina and water from their patio bar Snook Deck while we waited. It was a beautiful..." Read more
