"Stopped here for lunch after cruising the Manatee River. Neat place. Ate outside on the deck and enjoyed the sun and the view. Good sandwiches, fish tacos, sliders. Service was excellent. Well worth visiting if you are in the area."

"Great food and atmosphere! We are indoors on a cool evening and had a great sunset and water view. We did see a few dolphins swimming by. Ribs, fish and desserts were all excellent. Service was very good. Recommend getting reservations ahead."

"The setting on the Manatee River is beautiful. The food was good but not outstanding. Or waitress seemed very distracted. Did not bring the salads out first, she brought the salads out with the main dish which I find very odd. We went there with two other couples. The size of the table was excessively wide so that you felt that we had to talk louder for the..." Read more

Live music outside and the bartender was good and quick... outside! I am going to have to start with management.

"We had a lovely evening on the deck overlooking the Manatee river and the sky line of Bradenton. Waiter was excellent and very cautious. The dinner was served very promptly and it was delicious. The ribs are the thing to order, they were delicious. The surf and turf needs work. The lobster was cut in half and the size of a table spoon of meat. "

"We met another couple for dinner and had a very enjoyable evening. Yes, there is little bit of an a rather enjoyable hike from the parking lot to the restaurant. Sat outside on a beutiful evening. The service was good. Dinners were average, but prepared and presented well. Would I go back ? Yes."

"Well it started with tables open outside but we had to wait 20 minutes. While we were waiting we decided to get drinks, to which the bar tender didn’t know how to read my ID, nor my military ID. Then once we were seated we got our water. Our waitress took 10. Minutes before coming back to get our order. 40 minutes go by before our appetizer is delivered. Ano..." Read more

"Our last night in town we found the newly opened elevated floor to the Riverhouse.
Elegant seating with outstanding Surf and Turf dinner and beautiful piano background music!!

When you call for reservations to the Riverhouse ask for the upstairs restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Great service with a menu that will appeal to all!!!"

"The absolute best Risotto I have ever had. It was made with grated Parmesan cheese as usual but it had slices of Parmesan. All of the fish entrees were delicious. I had Ambrosia as a very different side. All and all a great night with long and dear friends."

"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
