"As a 15 yr former bartender the mixed drinks were horrible. Not the bartenders fault though. I don't think she was 1. Properly trained. OR 2. Her workload was too heavy."

"Great views, good service, so-so food.We went for dinner with a small group. The view is excellent, although the inside is noisy and it was difficult to hear each other and for our server to hear us. She was cordial and attentive, having no difficulty with some of the other couple sharing entrees. That said, things moved fairly slowly.We arri..." Read more

Lakewood Ranch, FL
"I have to say this visit was quite a disappointment. The restaurant/bar overlooks the water and made an UNBELIEVABLY beautiful sunset but that's about the only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1.With a 45 min- 1 hr wait for the first available table, we chose to sit outside at the bar with the "limited" menu. Don't quite understand why it had t..." Read more

"First time here after a day of shopping. Seated immediately outside in the shade which was perfect. Food was okay. We started out with the flaming cheese and seasoned shrimp of which both were very good.I had liver and onions because I rarely make it and love it but definitely not something to order here. Liver was extremely gritty and tough and..." Read more

"Not likely to go back.... I was really surprised by this restaurant.... I had heard good things from friends so I thought it would be a good idea for a birthday celebrationThe ambiance is great and really tries to provide an upper class feel. For the most part, the ambiance was the only thing I enjoyedThe waitress was friendly and enj..." Read more

"We recently took a family vacation from NE Ohio to Bradenton, FL. We searched for a restaurant that would meet the varying tastes of the 10 adults and children in our party and found the Riverhouse. We were very excited to have dinner there, as we were impressed with customer reviews and the menu was perfect! We were told that we should make a reservation..." Read more

"My lobster mac had "lobster" that looked suspiciously like crab. It also tasted like bait. Pretty views. They took it off the bill, so there's that."

"Very recently I ate dinner here, and was pleased with bread, beverages and service, but not with the meal. I ordered red fish which was very over cooked and lacking in taste. It is my intention to avoid eating here again. I am very sorry about this choice, as the ambience is great and it is a local restaurant not a chain, but for me it is all about the food...." Read more

"My wife and I went to the Riverhouse a couple of months ago and I had some pretty good ribs. I liked them so much that when my brother came to visit, we decided to go back. Unfortunately, a bad decision. The ribs were dry. The BBQ sauce was not good and I won't be going back. Wife had the lobster pot pie....what lobster? Sister in law had fish and..." Read more

"Great location without question , sitting outside watching the river flow by is a wonderful experience , drinks menu is good , but the food is far from stellar , we ordered 3 dishes & 2 were "off" , service was reasonable & plenty of parking albeit with a longish walk along the pier before you arrive"

"I give them two stars just for the customer service alone. Full rack of ribs and my 200lb beast of a husband couldn't make himself love them. You know you have a problem. I ordered the shrimp and scallops pasta.., the scallops were so small, I questioned the authenticity. This restaurant sits right on the water.. The ambience was ok but I just was hoping for..."

"Since moving to Palmetto in June of '15, our family of 3 has dined there 5 times, and the appetizers, drinks and food was good ( not incredible but the prices aren't outrageous either) the atmosphere a bit too loud by the bar, but we enjoyed dining there fairly early to beat the crowds, and try to sit as far from the bar as possible. We took a relati..." Read more

"Just Ok. Tried it twice, won't go back. Menus are sticky and mine was smeared with what looked like mashed potato (still wet) that I had to wipe off to read. Tacky and messy. For openers, they serve a 'pina colada' sweet white bread with cinnamon butter - too sweet for us. Seriously overcooked and under seasoned vegetables look like t..." Read more

"Sadly the whole family wasn't too happy with our dinner. We started out with the lobster fritters and they were good, great flavor and texture but the sauce was a odd pairing. We also ordered 2 doz oysters, and while they were nice sized they had NO flavor and they are not severed with the regular cocktail sauce. Instead they serve a canned diced/puréed toma..." Read more

"We decided to stop here for lunch after having a beach day with the family. We were excited because the place looks very nice and we were looking to get some good seafood. Unfortunately all our food was extremely bland. All of the fish lacked seasoning and the coleslaw didn't taste like anything. I don't understand how you can be a chef at a nice restaurant..."

"Nice location and friendly staff, but the ingredients for the food tasted as if they were purchased from the local gas station. The fries were good though. The place seemed like it caters to older folks lacking taste buds in their later years."

"The Mahi Mahi special and lobster corn chowder were delicious. Surprisingly the more commonplace entrée--fish and chips--was a huge disappointment. Although the fish was described in the menu as "crunchy," it was far from it. Allegedly Alaskan Pollock, rather than white, thick, flaky, and mildly flavorful, this fish was slightly gray, thin, rubbery..." Read more

"Nothing more nothing less than average Florida tourist trap. When I was a young kid growing up in Palmetto this same little island was home to The Marine Room Restaurant... THAT was real, fresh and delicious seafood. Nothing is quality anymore in Florida."
