"Excellent atmosphere and views. Food was good but not as hot as it should be

Happy hour every day and we made good use of it as we waited a little too long for food.

Views make up for it"

"One of my favorite lobster rolls in the area.It's sometimes hard to differentiate a good restaurant with a good day. My husband and I were having a day date without the children, so it was a great day, but I think the restaurant is also deserving of top marks. We were here on a Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. when it opened so it wasn't busy at all. I..." Read more

"Our family of 6 ate here and overall it was ok. The ambiance and water view is a "10" but the food was just ok. We ordered Smash Burgers, Calamari, Balsamic Chicken, Salmon Salad and a Shrimp Po Boy. My hubby said the Remoulade sauce on the Po Boy was non existent and the bread was hard. My Balsamic Chicken was tasty but the rice was dry and hard. Th..." Read more

"Great ambience on the water. My husband and I went here for dinner on Sun. Our waitress was helpful with the menu, attentive, and wonderful. As far as the food... We got the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. I don't know who on here recommended these, but they were not good. I'm from GA and know about my southern food, and my husband who's a FL nativ..."

"Will return.

On the water with nice views. Good service and fresh food. The bathroom is really clean.

We went at an odd hour - 3:40. We were boating but have to coming in early due to the wind and rain.

The grouper taco, Caesar salad and salmon bowl are all fresh and yummy."

"Family was in town and this was chosen for dinner after a day at the beach. Staff was polite and attentive. Yay for that. The view of the river was nice for dinner as we watched the sunset as well. The one downfall was the food. It wasn't bad, mind you. It just wasn't noteworthy. All the dishes were presented well and the portions were a good size. They just..." Read more

"We came for a late afternoon meal. A short walk (or a complimentary  ride on a golf cart) past docked boats. Beautiful view outside - the water is gorgeous, and although it was hot, they have several big fans moving the air. We got the fish spread, and both agreed it was delicious. It comes with chopped onion and capers on the side. He had the fish t..." Read more

"I so love the Riverhouse!  It's right on the river and the Palmetto side with views of the marina.   You must walk (or ride in the golf cart) down the long boardwalk to get to the restaurant. It is beautifully appointed decorations. There is inside and outside seating right on the water. I've heard there is a more lux part of this restaurant upstairs..." Read more

"The food was good overall. We started with spinach artichoke dip (not pictured) that was pretty good serviced with wonton style chips. The views here at what you come for. It's on the water in the marina and it's well shaded. Our server was very sweet and made great recommendations. They did forget our dip in the kitchen, but again, you pay for the views her..."

Hearty and flavorful with a nice table outside.  Service was friendly and attentive.My fish tacos had a good amount of grouper and the fish was blackened well.  The boss said she really enjoyed her bowl.  It was a good mixture that she sa..."

Food was a bit slow coming out, but place was full. Food was hot, fries were great as were Sweet Potato fries. Cole slaw wasn't that great, but overall it was a great experience. Will be back. Lo..."

"Love this place. First time coming here and so glad we we did. The location with it sitting on the water is beautiful. The weather was very windy so we didn't sit outside. However, the big bay windows allowed us to still enjoy the harbors view. We sat at the bar and placed our order. Food came out hot and tasty. You know I love my seafood and have just found..."

"The view is nice, right on the river.  There is a shuttle that will give you a ride from parking through the yacht club.  We enjoy breakfast outside.  I have also eaten work lunches and dinners there and the food is pretty good, but not amazing.  Service is usually pretty good, but sometimes, when they are busy, they suffer from wait staff shortages like eve..."

"I'll start by saying that choosing this restaurant was a TOTAL shot in the dark. I was meeting a group for lunch who's staying in Sarasota, so I looked on the map on Yelp and found a middle point between us. Then I looked by the inland bodies of water/marinas to try to find a waterfront restaurant I could make a reservation at. In comes Riverhouse Waterfront..." Read more

"Beautiful day of the river and outside/inside dining.   Our party shared grouper bite appetizer that was very good.  Kicken chicken was also good but not unique or spicy.  Salad was very fresh and good.  Broccoli and cauliflower sides  were just average - little seasoning but at least not musht. My lobster pot pie was piping hot and good. The puff pastry on..." Read more

The lower level offers casual dining, while the upper level hosts a fine dining experience. We chose the casual option and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is upscale marine and has nice views. There is a small bar on the lef..." Read more

"First time having dinner in many years.  We arrived a little early, but they were able to seat the 4 of us.   There was a happy hour menu for appetizers and drinks, but we did learn that the prices were lower because you got a smaller portion.   Hmmmmm I thought having happy hour prices meant you got a reduction on the normal price.    The menu is va..."

"Great view of the harbor, pleasant staff and good food. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip which was paired with the crispy made chips. Our entrees were the steak tips on garlic mashed potatoes which reminded me of pot roast but it was still good. We also ordered the fish and chips which was delicious as well. Didn't take a picture of the food but took som..." Read more
