"Great ambience. The server's were very friendly. I ordered the Angus burger and fries. The fries were to perfection, the meat was dry and overcooked. My wife had Fish n' Chips, the fish was dry and the breading tasted burnt and looked like the oil had not been changed in a while."

"The Waterfront Restaurant has a beautiful ambiance which sits on the river.  However, the food last evening was not so good. I ordered fish & chips and was totally disappointed. The 2 large pieces of fish were very dark in color and tasted burnt. It tasted like it was cooked in old oil & was way overcooked. The french fries were cooked perfectly thou..." Read more

"I have ate here multiple times and have always enjoyed it. Recently I ate there before the COVID-19 shut down. I ordered beef tips, they had a lot of fat on the them. Nothing was done to help fix the issue after the staff was made aware. I will continue to go there, just wanted them to be aware ."

"I celebrated my graduation this evening in this gorgeous place. I am glad to say that it was a phenomenal evening and the venue was evidently one of the reasons for this successful meeting. The team helped in a pleasant style, the cuisine was appetizing and my friends were very glad. We shall surely come back again for more events. thanks very much."

"Jan. 16 2020 my wife and I along with a party of 12 had lunch here. We ordered lobster rolls which were listed for 19.00 dollars on the menu. Stale rolls, lots of lettuce, and very little lobster!!! A total rip-off. I sent these arrogant managers a personal message and asked them to take this item off the menu if this was the best they could do. CRICKETS"

"Great place right on the water. Friendly staff. Grateful they had a table to accommodate 9 of us. The Lobster Corn Chowder was delicious. Pictured are the lobster which was perfectly cooked and the Creamy Tuscan Chicken. Both very good. Highly recommended."

"Finally! A fine dining venue in Palmetto on the waterfront!! The new Second Floor delivers an upscale, creative menu in a modern well-designed space. As you'd guess, it is located on the second floor of the Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant at the end of a pier, adjacent to a marina, right on the beautiful Manatee River. The lobster bisque was exceptional; bu..." Read more

"You can make a reservation for patio seating, which is great because it guarantees you will be sitting outside. The patio is actual a wooden deck with a great view of the river and right next to the marina so you can watch the boats go by. Fish and chips, pork sliders and grouper tacos -all were delicious. "

"the scenic setting is worth a million dollars. The food, the service is not worth much at all. Our waitress was not very pleasant and provided the barest amount of customer service possible. No bread. No water. No return follow up after our meals were delivered. Is everything OK? Do you need anything? She could have cared less.The portion of grouper was extr..." Read more

"Yesterday was the first time we went to this excellent restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last time. We had great time with the efficient service, with the great food and fine drinks and with the comfortable pay. We will no doubt go back there soon."
