"I've lived in Palmetto for 10 years and I really want to like this restaurant but every time my husband and I come here we're supremely disappointed. The good: the view, the atmosphere and the wait staff. Cocktails are usually good. The Bad: the food, the food and, did I say it? The food. Bland and mostly reheated frozen fare, no amount of..."

"Don't waste your time here, go somewhere else.. We decided to come here last night for my 30th birthday and all of our food was horrible. We're not picky people but almost all of our entrees were inedible. I ordered the lobster pot pie which is supposed to be the featured entree and it was awful. Tasted like frozen pot pie filling with blended lobster meat,..." Read more

"When you call for reservations don't believe what they may tell you. I called 2 weeks in advance to request a round table for 9 people for a 60 th birthday party. The person who took the reservation said " great no problem"! I called 2 weeks later to ask to change the reservation from 9 to 10 people. At the same time wanted to confirm my round t..." Read more

"Just a follow up! To date The Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant hasn't continued the conversation regarding my review as suggested by a Business Manager named Alanna V. Very disappointing!"

"Alana Vandernoard, this is my third attempt to contact you via the website that you directed me to today via TripAdvisor, so thank you for your timely response. I second my fiancé who told you those two imbeciles at the hostess stand should bus tables or work anywhere where rudeness is expected. Your restaurant is beautiful, unfortunately you set such..."

"It was the worst food I have had in awhile. Crab dip wasn't appetizing, the lobster pot pie was like a frozen dinner, and way too much salt. There was nothing to say positive about this place. It was awful."

"Horrible experience- they have a crackhead with an nasty attitude working the front desk. They let a few couple before us that we're there own kind until we complain and got sat, waited forever with no one to greet us so we got up and left. Stay away from this place."

"I used to eat here at least once a week and would have lunch with co-workers there sometimes. It was always good food and ok service. I couldn't wait to take family from out of town there to show off one of my favorite restaurants . The waitress was extremely rude. Two of us got the wrong food. The waitress seemed angry at us when we told her . I thought may..." Read more

"Was there 4/2/22..... raining cats and dogs out. The place was empty. When ordering, someone asked to substitute either fries or mashed potatoes for the rice. Waitress says they don't substitute, but would ask the chef. Both the mashed and french fries were on the menu as an accompaniment with other dishes. She takes the order, and another service person c..." Read more

"Ordered the blackened chicken Alfredo and my guest ordered the seafood Alfredo, both were very bland and tasted like it was prepare and heated up. Definitely it from scratch and very bland. I had high hopes but unfortunately everything we tried at this place seemed like ready made heat and serve meals. 1 star."

"Horrible service and a very rude manager. Completely different experience than before. Have lost our business forever. Our group went elsewhere and found a great restaurant which we'll go to in the future since this place doesn't need the business."

"Unfortunately I had a bad experience here today. On a day with light crowds our food had been left under a heat lamp for some time to dry out. It was served to us anyway. Our server was Alena and she was very inattentive and just a bit rude to us both. She didn't stop by to ask how our food was, she didn't re-fill our drinks, I had to ask another waiter..." Read more

"There are much better places to eat at in the area. Ordered the jambalaya which was chicken and sausage w/1 shrimp in tomato sauce. No spice or flavor. Wife ordered crab cakes and same thing. The lobster corn chowder was the only saving grace. It also took 45 mins to come out. There are plenty of other better places to eat. Go somewhere else."

"I was excited to try this place, reviews are great, but no....I got the Hawaiian chicken and it was cold! The broccoli (side dish) looked like it went bad, there was black areas that kind of looked like mold. I'm honestly taken back by the food they served me. The side salad was good, but that was it."

"We've been twice now. The first time was an all around great experience. The food, ambiance and service was great. The second time not so much. The hostesses are so incredibly unfriendly, there were about 7 of them standing there when we left. No thank you, goodbye, never come back- absolutely not a word.Our waitress had chipped nails with dirt underneat..." Read more

"We were seated on time for our 6:30 reservation. silverware was dirty adn sked 3X for new knives and finally had to get ourselves from another table nearby. Finally got our food at 8:00pm. 2 people in our group ordered the petite filet which was the most expensive item on menu. We were brought some type of fatty strip steak which was not tender and defin..." Read more
