This is a fabulous restaurant with gorgeous views of the inter coastal. Our waiter “MAX” was exceptional!!! We will be sure to return here on our next trip to this area!

We dined at River House last eve for the first time this season. When we made our reservation we requested outdoor seating but were advised they don't hold outdoor seats and to arrive early if we wanted outdoor seating. We arrived at 5:45 pm and were seated at the last available table.

The setting on the intracoastal is classy and the outdoor dining is immediately to the west of the dock area which makes for nice views. The covered outdoor dining area is, however, exceptionally noisy making casual conversation at a table an impossibility.

We ordered lobster bisque, palm seafood salad and a cheeseburger and fries. One of the lobster bisques was "bisque only" but they eventually replaced it with a bowl that included lobster. The salad was very good and the cheeseburger was cooked perfectly.

Our reluctance in a return visit centers on two issues....the exceptionally loud atmosphere at the outside dining venue, and the quality of the service. Our waitress was polite when we saw her which was rare....water glasses were never refilled, had to request the check from other staff. Pricing was surprisingly high for most items and particularly high for low end to moderate wines by the glass. For example a glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is $14, a bottle you can buy at Total Wine for $12--absurdly high pricing.

Ambiance not bad. Sat outside even though cool night, no heaters. Drinks were good and so was the food. Poor service clearing plates. Steak and seafood and No Shrimp..No Scallops. Disappointed for sure. Chocolate chip cookie desert was good as well as Grouper, Crab cakes, ribs and lobster. Parking limited and busy.

My wife and I had not been to the River House for several years (I don't know why). We went here for dinner this past weekend with friends who are frequent visitors. We asked for and were seated on the outside patio which offers gorgeous views of the inter-coastal. Our waitress, Lauren, was absolutely perfect, attentive to our needs and exceptionally accommodating. My wife and I shared the Crab Cake Dinner and the Palm Beach salad. Lauren offered to have them split and plated in the kitchen which i considered a very nice gesture.

The crab cakes were probably the best I ever tasted, full of lump crab, absolutely scrumptious. The Palm Beach Salad was a mix of diced crab and shrimp with a small salad on the plate, beautifully presented and very tasty.

It won't be long before we return to the River House!!

Bar was shoulder to shoulder in clear violation of Florida Covid regulations. We have been there last year and the year before and were happy. This was a bad experience so we left before sitting.
