"Great food and the view is worth it. A bit pricey for what you are getting. Dining at sunset is a must."

"I love this place.   But you come here for the waterfront views, the ambiance and the charming service.   Those are a 4.5-5.  Food is a 3."

"Gorgeous location. We were sat right by a window overlooking the water and boats with a beautiful view. We were also sat quickly for lunch. The restaurant was clean and staff polite. We ordered calamari for an app and were pleased. It arrived hot and crunchy. I ordered a bacon and Brie sandwich and my husband a lobster roll. He was thrilled with his lobster..." Read more

"This is a romantic, upscale place for dinner with a nice view of the water. This place has a large menu with great food.  My only critique is that food took a while to come but it was delicious. I ordered oysters which were fresh. The lobster roll was good. I would recommend to come for the food and watch the sunset on the water."

"We only go for the brunch buffet on Sunday. Love most of the food. Eggs can be a bit dry and we fell in love with the blueberry pancakes in the first visit but whoever is cooking them now just can't get it right again. They are terrible. Otherwise we will keep going every chance we get. View is perfect and the music isn't turned up so loud you can't hear you..." Read more

"Yummy food, we have eaten there several times! Saturday night we tried the Lobster Risotto for entrees. For appetizers, we ordered the kicked up shrimp and a dozen oysters. We enjoyed all of our food. Love the waterfront seating and live music. Fun atmosphere!"

"A 3 star restaurant with a 4 star view.  Good dinner place.  Great view.  Service was ok.  I hear the brunch is good.I had the ribs w cheddar mashed potatoes and broccoli.  The ribs were tender; good.  The potatoes were also good thanks to the cheese and broccoli was so so with no real flavor.  The coconut shrimp app was very good.  My family enjoyed..."

"This place is more about the location than the food. I've never had complaints about the food but it isn't anything to write home about. The view definitely makes up for it. The restaurant is positioned at the end of a pier and provides for a beautiful view, especially at sunset. If you sit outside, you feel like you are sitting in the middle of the river. T..."

"Visited about an hour before close, probably not the best of ideas; however, the food was good and the service incredible. Anthony, our waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about menu items. After seeing all the reviews about the lobster potpie, I decided to give it a go. Anthony, our friendly waiter let me know it was available and made it easier..." Read more

"The view alone should get 5 stars at this little gem in Parrish. I went on a weeknight and the place was packed. I guess all the locals flock to this restaurant.  The 4 stars comes from the food.  It was ok - in fact the food alone would have earned 3 stars. I ordered fish and chips and didn't come with any chips. I did like that the fish was lightly breaded..." Read more

"We came upon this restaurant by accident, driving back north from a visit to Sarasota.Location:  Outstanding, waterfront location.  If you aren't up for the short walk along the docks they have a "trolley" (overgrown golf cart) that will take you from the parking lot to the restaurant.  The restaurant is nicely decorated.Menu:  Not ex..."

"The service here is great - they have a trolley running across the pier to transport guests from the parking lot to the restaurant in the rain! Aside from a friendly and polite staff, Riverhouse Reef and Grill body's a fantastic selection of seafood. For dinner, I ordered the lobster cakes served with a Cajun sauce. I love anything seasoned with Caju..." Read more

"Nice river view and the breeze on the deck was pleasant. Good, attentive service and nice variety on the menu. We all enjoyed our entrees.  I.think the only cause for 4 stars rather than 5 is the "bang for the buck" category."

"This restaurant is pleasant, service and food good. We were seated inside on a very warm day next to a door however which blew a hot blast of air every time it opened. We probably will go back but will know better where we want to sit. There are good prices on happy hour drinks n food a little more than we usually pay for casual dining but worth it. Nice vie..."

"Amazing view. Food was excellent, and menu was varied enough even for us non seafood eaters. Prices were fair given the river view. Golf cart service to and from parking lot is a nice touch, and the driver was personable, funny, and very pleasant. A perfect spot for a romantic dinner, a night out with co workers, a dinner party, or a place to bring visiting..." Read more

"Attended a wedding here.  Great views of the river and the marina and a beautiful bride to boot! **  The entree was delish (Mahi Mahi).  The DJ did a good job.  The staff were super friendly (we had a Maine-iac waiter, which is a waiter born and bred and the state of Maine).  The sunset was a "beautiful orange ball" in the words of my uncle...."
