"Ordered the mahi mahi and it cames out dry and overcooked. The waiter was very aloof and did not pay attention to our requests .We had to asked the inattentive waiter several times for ice water and bread .When clearing the table the same inexperienced waiter piled up several plates and topped them with some forks and knives and dropped a few of..."

"This very large restaurant is right on the water, and is very popular with both locals and tourists. The main attraction is the magnificent water view, especially at sunset. The large menu is impressive, although the wine list is disappointingly limited. Service was slow, perhaps because of the inexperience of our server.We liked our food, and sh..." Read more

I really enjoyed the crab cakes as they were some of the best I've ever had. My wife and friend also really enjoyed their meals. It was a cool night when we ate he..." Read more

"This is our second trip to Riverhouse. We had the same server this time, Mark, who is the perfect server! We tried the surf and turf and it was very good. The key lime pie is also wonderful! We have a very nice time with a beautiful view."

"We stopped on our way home from Orlando for a quick supper so we decided to eat at bar. $9 bottles of house wine on Wednesday a nice surprise. Love the ribs here and they did not disappoint. Butterfish excellent as usual. Quick service, bartender was quite loud, but I guess when you sit at bar you give up peaceful dining. He just seemed a little bit show-off..." Read more

"On a visit to the Bradenton area, we selected the Riverhouse Waterfront for a family lunch on a Saturday. The food was excellent and the view/location was too. I would recommend this establishment to any one visiting the area."

"We had a late lunch here today, it was packed but service stayed at an acceptable level. I ordered the lobster pot pie, which I really enjoyed. Had dudes of rice and beans(rather plain and dry), and fries (which weren't great). My wife had grouper tacos, nice big tasty pieces of fish. View was great, fun to walk through the marina to get there. We will proba..." Read more

"With their interior remodel, this restaurant looks sleek and elegant. With breathtaking views of the manatee river and delicious not overly pricey food and drink options, this place is a gem. Reservations are highly recommended."

"On a warm February afternoon four of us walked the long boardwalk from the parking lot, thru the marina to the waterside restaurant, viewing all the boats as we walked by. (A multi-seat golf cart is also available for transport.) We arrived much too early for dinner as the restaurant had not yet opened so we enjoyed thirst quenching drinks at the Snook Bar t..."

"Great place to grab a quick bite for lunch. Busy but sat at the bar to order. Awesome Mahi lunch special. Have local beers, variety of wines, and craft cocktails(can I suggest the Reef Mule, its fantastic). Typical pricing for on the water but reasonable. Great view of the waterfront Enjoy!!! "

"Riverhouse decor has been updated and the view is wonderful. Outdoor heaters and a cover make it delightful for outdoor dining. Shuttle to the end of the pier is helpful.
Food and service are just ok. Waitress served meal with food from another meal on the edge of the plate. No attempt to remove the food. Manager was attentive and apologized."

"The food was pretty good! I had the lobster roll which was fresh, a few small pieces of lobster were tough which is my only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 star. My husband had the lobster pot pie which looked delicious and he said was really good. I bought a kids pizza for my daughter which she loved and it was affordable compared to some places that have exp..." Read more

"Have eaten at this restaurant, by the water, several times. Never disappointed. Food has always been exceptional, no matter what I ordered, and service always great. Would recommend getting a table outside, if you are there for supper, as the sunsets are spectacular. There is also a short shuttle ride along the pier to bring patrons from the parking lot to t..."
