"Some food was more 3.5 star but overall good, beautiful scenery! Gulf red grouper was OK, risotto was served cold (on purpose lol) and I was NOT a fan at all. It wasn't listed that way, I definitely prefer it warm and was disappointed. Was told the lobster mac and scallops were great, decent apps"

"Overall a great experience. Service was a little slow to refill waters and sodas. I had the lobster roll which was amazing. Smash burgers and lobster Mac n cheese were a little dry. Cookie dessert was amazing! So was the toffee bunt cake. Great views of manatee river. Will come here again!"

"Went there today for lunch. Food was great, server was friendly. The kitchen was delivering food slowly as there was a rush. But..it was worth the wait. A great place to eat and meet friends"

"Beautiful view and ambience. We were given happy hour menu arrived at 5:45 but didn't get service until 6 so the waitress wouldn't honor the happy hour prices. We order salmon bowls, chicken bowl and beef salad. They were very good but the portions were very small. My beef salad had only 4 tiny pieces of beef. We also ordered spinach and artichoke appetizer..." Read more

"Generally, I do not give low scores, but this food was not very good. The steak salad was the best thing we ordered, and if that's what you're in the mood for, do it. Anything else, nah, just watch the sunset instead and have a drink."

"Greatly appreciated the golf cart ride across the dock to restaurant entrance with my 90 yr old mom. We were promptly greeted and seated. Server took our drink order, then food order, server came back a few minutes later saying they were out of the shrimp & scampi dinner (it was 6pm) we substituted a dinner salad. Food was delicious and there is a very nice..." Read more

"Beautiful Waterfront views. We enjoyed the second floor dining. Everyone but me loves seafood so they were very pleased with the menu. I would have preferred a few more, non seafood choices. However, they did have a fried pork chop special that was delicious. This was my second visit in a week. I was invited twice for different celebrations and I was ver..." Read more

"I met two of my step daughters there and had some appetizers and drinks. The drinks were decent and the truffle fries were average. The crostini's with the blue crab dip were stale tasting. Also, it was quite loud for an afternoon crowd, though we were seated close to the bar."

"Great atmosphere and food. I had the fish and chips. Was expecting chips as what's served in England, but it was homemade potato chips. They were great, so I can't dock them on that point. The portion size was great also. Had to take some home for later."

"Beautiful views of the marina and Manatee River and the most attentive and pleasant wait staff. Grouper nuggets app was generously portioned for a table of 4. Ask for an extra side of the cilantro lime aioli. From previous visits, you really can't go wrong with any of the apps. Steer clear of the avocado chicken sandwich...overcooked chicken breast made..." Read more

"Beautiful waterfront views from almost everywhere in this restaurant as it is located inside of the marina. Plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend reservations as it is always busy and seems to have lines. We had a new staff member that needed more training but was very nice. We were a group of four and ordered items from the fried shrimp basket to the..." Read more

"Riverhouse has been a favourite of ours for years. Our go-to place when we are returning or leaving to head north. During the hot days/nights of summer a sangria is a refreshing and enjoyable drink. I was shocked and taken back and extremely disappointed when after ordering one, was told "we don't have sangria". What do you mean, you don't have Sangria. You..." Read more

"Excellent location off Manatee River! Customer service provided by “Tista” was well above average, she’s a true master of her profession! Food was ok, we found the Onion Soup a bit salty, but I realize that’s really subjective and based on customer preference…everyone else thought the dishes were generally good..drink prices were very good, though I have to..."
