IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY WEEKEND at River House Restaurant & Raw Bar. We look forward to serving you and your special someone. .
Our Server Andrew was the best we have had in years
We weren’t greeted for at least 10min. Our server did exceed performance though. Super nice and attentive. The food did not match up to the $$$$.
I feel like the food could have been better. The drinks where insanely strong. I ended up sending one back because it wasn’t mixed at all.
Excellent place to eat. Great food and service.
Small portions. Seafood was mediocre. Great service however!
This restaurant is amazing. The service was great. McCall was out waiter and he did an excellent job. The hostesses were so polite and acommodating and friendly. We got a great table looking out at the river. Joey, the manage made sure that the flowers I got for my girlfriend were brought to the table just as I wanted. Was an awesome experience overall. The food was so incredible, which made celebrating our anniversary there so very special in every way
Wonderful service and food. Great atmosphere
Food was amazing(we ordered the octopus as an appetizer and it was out of this world). Service was great ( waitress was training another waitress).ambiance was moderate. Will definitely try river house again
Good dinner with kids
Great food and wonderful service!
Service was excellent and resavastion accommodation was good. Did not have to wait to be seated.
Service was attentive but unobtrusive. We enjoyed our food thoroughly as well as our table with the lovely river view.
All you can eat crab was outstanding!
Dinner out. Seated in covered patio area. Food was delicious. Only complaint was being a little chilly where we were seated.
River House does not disappoint! The menu is large, and there are always lots of options to choose from. We had the Hawaiian Butterfish (Walu) and it was superb. Oysters are also a favorite at River House! A great experience overall.
Kevin was outstanding! He made excellent recommendations. He definitely made our meal more enjoyable. He is a true asset to your establishment.
Slow service
Has to repeatedly ask for things
Very good food. View would be great in warmer weather. We had an enjoyable experience.
Great atmosphere to celebrate a family member or just go out with friends. Big menu, fresh seafood.
Have eaten here frequently. Food always superior! Our server was terrific! Had a good time.
Great food + great staff + great facility = great experience.
Took a while to get waited on an place our order but it our food came in a timely manner and was delicious.
Love going to this place to celebrate special occasions or for what we call "fliff nights" - the rare get-whatever-you-want-and-however-much-you- want occasion. The menu is just perfect for that sort of evening and for grazing multiple plates of yummy food! Recently my husband and I split the V style oysters, the chargrilled octopus, fried green tomato salad, chilled seafood salad, and the grouper cheek po boy and rang in below $90 (without the tip) for very delicious well prepared food. They had no problem bringing it out all at once like we asked and our waitress was friendly and attentive. They also gave a complimentary yummy dessert because it was my birthday, plus the cornbread at the beginning of the meal was great too. 2 out of the 6 oysters did have some heavy grit, but it honestly didn't ruin the plate. Thanks for the fun evenings!
Outstanding food & service. Goodwood Stout and excellent craft bourbon selection
Love the restaurant atmosphere but the food is just OK
It was perfect
Our crab legs was cold , had to wait on our next order of crab legs and the waitress keep putting in our order twice! Out of four people at the table three would get more crab legs and the fourth person had to wait! For the price of all you can eat crab legs and they come out cold is ver disappointing!
I had an awesome server that was very attentive and went over and beyond. Thank you!
Food and service was great! They are doing a great job with social distancing.
Pros: Great service. Attention to detail much appreciated! Thanks for the birthday dessert! All food ordered was delicious.
Cons: Requested high top seating at time of reservation and this was not accommodated, perhaps due to CovID occupancy restrictions?
Seated outside/inside but being directly underneath heater along with directly next to firepit made for a toasty occasion that was uncomfortable at times.
Looking forward to returning in warmer weather months to fully enjoy the great location on the river.
Everything overall Excellent, the food and service were Great, the only complaint I would have, would be their online menu didn’t have everything they served and an item on there they didn’t serve, their extensive wine list was in very fine print and the features menu, I thought I was reading the mouse track print on a new cellphone contract, you would think they would keep their website up to date and a wine list separate from the menu, and make them easier to read, but we went to eat and the food was Excellent.
My wife had a spectacular birthday, thanks RH!
Excellent food and service
I had the V Tower. Hard to believe that one King Crab leg was 10oz. Felt like I should have had more legs for my money. The oysters were a bit gritty and did not just slide out the shell, as I like them to. I believe in giving second chances. I will be going back for the All You Can Eat Crab Legs on Monday. River House get ready, cause I'm bringing my Crew and my Appetite!
Nice to view the river for a birthday lunch. Waiter was very attentive.
Really enjoyed lunch at The River House. Covid restrictions were followed, server was wonderful, Grouper-Cheek Po Boy was great. Definitely recommend.
Octopus appetizer was fantastic. The rib appetizer was really good too. Everyone enjoyed their meals except for me. I ordered the Seafood platter and was disappointed in the food and overall value. I only ate a little bit and brought the rest home. It was my birthday dinner. Overall everything was great from service to ambiance, I just won’t be ordering that meal again.
Birthday!! Love this place. Great food, atmosphere and wonderful service.
Absolutely delicious food, carryout has also been very, very good. Graham was an excellent server, love the vibe here.
We celebrated our anniversary at the River House and it did not disappoint! The food was exceptional and the setting romantic and high end. Perfect for a special occasion.
Ate on the warm patio overlooking the river. Atmosphere was perfect for catching up with friends. Server McCall answered all of our questions and made excellent recommendations. He anticipated all of our needs while we enjoyed deliciously prepared and presented salads and pastas. The entire experience was above expectations.
