"We have been here many times on out date night without the kids. Location is always beautiful, sit outside if it's nice or inside by glass walls if not. Food is good if unimaginative. Get there for happy hour for the margaritas and coconut shrimp! Nice bar outside to wait for a good table. Live music while waiting and often happy newlyweds getting photos on..." Read more

"Started with the scallops covered with bacon. Not anything special. Lobster fritters were good nothing great. So far 3 stars then main courses. Blackened shrimp was good and the Fried shrimp was bland then the blackened mahi mahi was very good but the blackened grouper was phenomenal. Would have been 3 stars but the grouper and the view brought it to 4."

"My wife and I were vacationing in Palmetto this year and decided to try this spot because of the wonderful Yelp reviews.It was really cool that a gentleman with a golf cart gives rides from the parking lot to the restaurant. That would've been a long tedious walk for somebody like me. The food was very good. I opted for the grouper sandwic..." Read more

"From the first time we tried this place we loved it. From the ride in the golf cart to the door to sitting by the ocean while you eat and watching the dolphins and manatees as well as the boats pass on by. My family and I have done many lunches there, as well as dinner and a couple of fourth of July buffets. Our youngest son would always go up to the host..." Read more

"There are several restaurants and bars at this marina, but the Riverhouse Reef and Grill is located at the end of the marina pier. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll past the boats to get to the restaurant, or jump on the large golf cart shuttle for a quick ride.The thing you notice right away is the amazing view of downtown Bradenton across the Manat..."

"Saturday night for dinner. The wait for an outside table stretched well beyond the hour we were quoted (but waiting there with the pier and docks to roam around on is not bad). Once seated it was worth the wait. Beautiful night, great food, mellow, acoustic, live music. We had the Mediterranean Chicken, a shrimp pasta, and a burger and everyone was very plea..." Read more

"It's going to take you a while to get a seat at this Palmetto hotspot for seafood. Not because the wait is necessarily that long, but because the Riverhouse Reef & Grill is stationed at the end of a very picturesque pier at the Regatta Pointe Marina. You'll spend a half an hour marveling at the sights of the marina, her ships and the sea in all it's s..." Read more

"Love this place. Had dinner last night with friends and we all enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and a beautiful water view. Not too noisy. Prices are very reasonable. I had the blackened shrimp dinner and it was excellent. Can't wait to go back and try the Black and Blue salad or maybe shrimp tacos."

"The restaurant is right on the water with a great view. The food was very good and service was good as well. I was there for lunch and had the lobster corn chowder and the fish tacos with the "kickin" shrimp. The sauce on the shrimp tacos definitely had some kick (but not too much) and gave it nice flavor. I would definitely get them again. The rest..." Read more

"Great spot to watch the fireworks on the fourth. Reservation required and buffet style all you can eat dinner. The view is as close as you can get the the big show and parking is reserved for people at restaurant only. Makes for a fun evening out with the kids. A bit pricey but the ease of reserved parking and stress less surroundings are priceless."

"First off the service was unbelievable! My server and his runner made sure that my bf and I did not want for anything. I usually do not order steaks at a seafood restaurant but I'm happy that I made this choice. My ribeye steak with rice was cooked to standard. My bf had the blackened salmon with cheesy mash potatoes. Those were so good. But the main..." Read more

"Amazing view, amazing food and amazing service! Our party included an Alaskan, a local Bradentonian and a typical teenage girl and we were all satisfied. Our server Sarah was very knowledgeable about the menu which made ordering that much easier. We started with raw oysters which were incredibly fresh and delicious served with an interesting homemade coc..." Read more

"Went for lunch
Long wait for just appetizers
Good amount of flies but we were outside so hey.
BUT when the food came everything was amazing! The food was worth the wait.
Four stars because of the wait but the view was beautiful! Great ambiance."

"I love the outside view of the place. You are able to sit outside and overlook the water while indulging in a drink. The food there is also really good. My favorite item there is Green Goddess Shrimp. They are the perfect appetizer. I love coming back to this place."

"Went out to lunch here with my friend. I wanted to have a nice lunch with a nice view so I found this hidden spot. The food was amazing!!! We had seared tuna for appetizer. I had the shrimp tacos and a side of french fries and my friend is not a big sea food person so she had the Parmesan chicken with pasta. We ate Cookie Monster for dessert. We sat outside..."

"Beautiful location and wonderful views. Food is reasonably priced and good. They will not take reservations for groups less than 10 which is rather odd. I was told that there would be no problem for 4 people at 7:30 and ended up waiting an hour and a half."

"This place is great! I've never had a bad experience here with the service or the food. Riverhouse is my family's restaurant we go to for any special occasion. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you dine here! My fave, the mahi mahi tacos and the lobster corn chowder!"

"My husband and I love this place. We always make an effort to stop here for some food when we are out that way. They have spectacular waterfront view...definitely a must see during sunset. The food has always been great. I usually order their Mahi fish tacos or sandwich. Yum! Only complaint I have about this place is that the friendliness of the staff is hit..." Read more

"Beautiful views and great food at reasonable prices. As a local, this is one of my go-to places that I take out of town visitors. It is more accessible than some of the beach restaurants. I love the lobster cakes with Cajun remoulade, and the lobster pot pie. My wife loves the frozen Mojitos. You can probably find better food elsewhere, but it is VERY go..." Read more

"Palmetto's waterfront has never looked better with its large marina, condos, and nearby historic district. The crowning touch of the docks is the Riverside Reef and Grill, a three-story structure at the tip of the main pier. The restaurant is on the first floor while the top floors serve banquets, weddings, and meetings.Riverhouse has the huge seaf..." Read more

"My husband and I are always looking for cool and good restaurants that we can stop at on our way to Tampa International from Long Boat Key, Palmetto is about halfway for us. Our criteria is that there must be a water view, outside seating and of course, good food. This restaurant far exceeded our expectations. We first stopped at the Riverside Cafe, whic..." Read more

"Their food is delicious and reasonably priced. I had the Butterfish and grilled Mahi entrees on two visits which were both great. Can't beat the view on the river paired with $2 beer specials either!
Now instead of coming here for when I am working in the area, I just need to buy and live on one of the yachts and go here all the time."

"We ordered take out to eat on the boat. All of our meals were quite good but it felt a bit pricey for takeout. We will return, of course, because each time we have been the quality has been consistent."
