"The food here is sooo good. 2nd time I've been here and it just gets better. It just opened back after being closed for The Rona and they did not disappoint. Service was excellent. Tonight we had grouper, bacon wrapped scallops, and ribs. All was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I'd recommend all of it as I took a bit of the others. Also had the lobste..." Read more

"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

The grouper tacos were amazing!! There were large pieces of blackened, delicious grouper with delicious toppings in 2 large tacos. It is a great spot with a beautifu..." Read more

"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
