"Looking for a special place to treat my sisters to dinner and when it came up on GPS I knew this was the place. Waterfront dining with a table on the deck, just couldn't get any better."

"The service was horrible waited 15 mins. We ordered appetizers which came out with food. We only got half the tables food. Then waited for the rest of it because it was never rang in. I left and never ended up getting my food. The manager apologized but isn't very assertive and needs to be better with management. Needless to say the service was horrendous an..." Read more

"We usually LOVE going here but today not so much. I looked forward all day to their fish; however, my bad when I booked the reservation @ 1:45 they told us we couldn't order from the menu until after 2. We actually got there @ 1:15 and they seated us. I expressed my concern about having to do the buffet (again I should have done my research so that is on me)..." Read more

"we were in a group of 13 people - celebrating mother's day and to honor our 96 year old mother who enjoyed her meal very much. Sarah was our waitress and she was very professional and gave us an excellent service with a smile."

"Our waiter was Mark. He seriously cannot be bested. He's the singularly best server around. Bright, quick and a great personality. Our food was perfect - try the smoked fish appetizer. I'd be happy with nothing more but seated with twenty people I never heard a single complaint. We love sitting out on the patio but no matter where you find yourself you will..." Read more

"We had a group of 7 people and they handled us very well. It has a lovely view and lots of deck seating. I loved my lobster pot pie and everyone else seemed to like their food. Service was very good for a busy Sunday."

"We ate lunch at this restaurant. We did not have a reservation but it was not a problem. We chose a table on outside patio. The View was amazing.Our service was very polite and very good. The food was very tasty and nicely served. Lobster corn chowder and steamed pei mussels were delicious. I recommend this place."

"Ate here on our first night of our vacation in Florida (6 friends from The Netherlands). The food was great, reasonable pricing. Our hostess Carrie was such a charmer! Gave us some good advice about the area. Her trainee was also a lovely girl. Overall great place to eat!"

"Loved the view, the food and the staff. Relaxing and satisfying. Only drawback parking is pretty limited so get there a little before or a little after mealtimes. "

"We were out for a birthday and our server started out with usual service. Then, we had overheard she was giving specials to another table, and we were wondering why she did not offer us any of the specials. The food was very good, but someone asked for ketchup. 20 minutes passed by without it and when she was walking up to us again, she was empty han..." Read more

"Für eine Location direkt am Wasser ist die Bestuhlung und Deko doch etwas mau geraten. Gerade im Außenbereich kommt hier nicht wirklich Stimmung auf.
Der Service ist immer sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.
Die Speisen sind recht gut, bewegen sich leicht über dem Durchschnitt. "

"Riverhouse had always been one of our favorite dinning places until now. 5 of us went there for lunch on Sept 4th. The portions have been cut almost it half and the chicken was almost cooked to the point of being black. According to the manager the menu was changed about 2 weeks ago and you no longer get a full portion with the luncheon. The Chicken Parm..." Read more

"Four of us for lunch. Apps of Coconut Shrimp and Teriyaki/herb baked wings were both good. Entrees were Fish and Chips, lobster roll, crab sandwich. The lobster roll had a bit too much lettuce, which soggy Ed the bun a bit, but all was enjoyed. Sat inside, as it was about 92 on the deck, but still great views. I noticed a couple of dolphins i..."

"We arrived on a Saturday, right as they opened up at 11:30. There were two couples ahead of us in the line but it took the two girls working the front desk quite some time to seat us. They appeared a little dazed and confused, as there were several patrons behind us as well. It was so windy outside, we asked for a table inside with a view of the water, which..." Read more

"This restaurant being right on the water with a wide wrap around deck that is perfect for river/sunset viewing has really reasonable prices for lunch and dinner. Sandwiches were about $12-15 and entrees were upper teens, which is standard pricing for seafood restaurants with no view and poor service. We received excellent table service outside on deck during..." Read more

"After a day on the water, dinner at the Riverhouse Reef & Grill dining room was a great experience with our adult daughter. Chicken, steak and seafood were all sampled. The Lobster Risotto was marvelous. The atmosphere was upscale, although a bit noisy, and the view over the Manatee River was lovely. Definitely returning the next time we boat out of Palm..."

"We got there at 5:30 and were told 45 min wait or less. Ok we sat at the bar and had a few beers. The musician came on at 6 and was great. 1,5 hrs later we got our table. Ok the manager compted each a beer at the table because of the waid. We each got the lobster pot pie (which by the way was to die for last year). This time the sides were cold and the pot p..."

"The food is excellent, as well as the service. It is a favorite of mine. When I want to drive to a waterfront restaurant, this is the place I choose. Afterwards, we walk and look at all of the boats there. This is a fantastic place to dine and relax."
