"We had four people in our party and we were all very satisfied. The menu had lots of choices. Each of us ordered something different and all our meals were fabulous.
The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable.
Our outside seating added to the experience. All seats are under a roof which made it very nice.
We will return!"

"My husband and I decided to try out Riverhouse because of the location; right on the water and having deck seating. The vibe there was great, parking was easy, and the restaurant was on one of the piers so you were able to watch all the birds and boats come in and out of the harbor. Had a lot of variety to pick from on the menu. Our food was great, we had th..." Read more

"Last night I was at the Riverhouse! I had the steak tacos I'd give that 3* (from Chicago kinda hard to come close) The wings were excellent. The best part of the restaurant was Harrison our bartender. We ate at the bar and he was great! I'd sit at the bar every time. He was funny, so nice & he actually gave me fresh waters with fresh lemon every t..." Read more

"Location, location, location! The views from this place are amazing! We ate at the Second Floor restaurant and it was spectacular. The views from up there were absolutely breathtaking!

"This was a great experience. Having moved to Florida about a year and a half ago but not gone into this area, we had no idea what we were getting. The restaurant is modern and cool looking inside and surrounded by water at the back of the pier. We ordered fish tacos and ribs for lunch and both were wonderful. Those ribs and fries were amazing. Good Key lime..." Read more

"Right on the water and the food was wonderful. I had the grouper fish tacos and they were AMAZING. Our server was just "ok" but the atmosphere and excellent food made up for it. Recommend getting a pitch of sangria too."

"This is a favorite place for us to take out of town guests because it's so beautiful! Lovely walk down the pier to get to the restaurant, and even in the summer, the breeze off the river makes the patio comfortable. The food is wonderful and has lots of variety to accommodate varying tastes. I love the lobster pot pie and the crab cake sandwich and the fish..." Read more

"I got a Yelp account simply to write this review about this restaurant. This place was phenomenal. We used Open Table to reserve an outside seating for the six of us and got seated immediately. The bacon wrapped scallops and Kickin Chicken appetizers were sublime. I had the ribs which were fall off the bone and other great dishes included Mahi tacos, blacken..." Read more
