We showed up with 8 people and a baby without reservations. They were able to seat us in a timely fashion and our service was the best!  Our waiter wa..." Read more

"Lovely night out! We sat at the bar on a Saturday night. First we wanted patio seating, so we waited at the bar for an open table. The bartender and happy hour were so great, we decided to forego the patio and stay at the bar for our dinner. Everything was so good I had the Lobster MAC & Cheese. It was creamy and filling! Super responsive wait staff and..." Read more

"Love this place. Live music most Thursday Friday and Saturday nights, great view of the river/sunset, and awesome happy hour deals. The brunch is actually really good too. To top it off their patio is dog friendly! Oh and the food is awesome too, especially the sea food. Sometimes there can be a wait, but it's worth it and you can still grab drinks and hang..."

"We really enjoyed this place! We wanted to find somewhere where we could enjoy a nice view that isn't super crowded, with decent food, and Riverhouse exceeded our expectations. Usually good views come with a tradeoff of subpar food, but not here.  We LOVED their appetizers - kickin chicken and artichoke spinach dip are a MUST! I definitely won't be able to g..." Read more
