River House

This restaurant is now closed. It's a shame as the food was good and the views of the New River were spectacular. more

Service and food were less than average. The hostess was unwelcoming. Waiter was inexperienced. Untrained in wines and the menu. He only checked on our party once. This place came highly recommended but not sure why. Water view was nothing to write home about. Prices were high for the lack of service. Will not return. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything more

FUN HAPPY HOUR!! When it is a beautiful night it is awesome to sit on the verandah and have cocktails! Its like having a beautiful mansion on the river with out the big mortague! Great friendly service and dinner is really good too. Love it before a play.... Yummy!!! Pros: Great happy hour Cons: none really more

I adore this restaurant. The food is classic and consistant, the service is warm, you see the same faces year after year. I love that I can pull up on the boat for an easy casual dinner or go in my dressy duds before the opera. It really has become my ""go to restaurant"". Very few places in South Florida have the beautiful old world style and also have a fantastic menu. Pros: Great food Cons: pain when Himmarshee is nuts to get to more

Had reservation for 8:00 on patio. Arrived at 8:00pm and was not seated on patio but in the restaurant. We informed them we wanted a patio seat and then waited for 30 min. When seated, table was not ready. When asked for a candle, it was a big issue to get one as every other table had one. When eating at the patio, a man was throwing up in the garden next to the patio after eating at the River House. As the night went on, the staff was cleaning the tablecloths off the tables around us and felt like we were being rushed out as we were still eating our main course. The food was good but not great. All in all, the bill was approx. $130.00 for two people. A price way too much for what we experienced. You are better off going to Morton?s Steakhouse for the same choices of food for much better service and quality of food. Pros: Location Cons: Service, Food, Reservation, etc. more

The River House is located on a canal across from a used boat dealership which ruins the view from the restaurant. The architecture is the one thing going for this restaurant so go and take pictures but find another place to eat. Two glasses of a wine which sells for under $12 dollars a bottle costs $23 and is served in the 3-4 oz. range (1/3 wine glass). Our meal consisted of grouper which wasn?t fresh (Sunday night) and was 8-10 minutes over-cooked. There was a wedding party going on and perhaps the attention of the kitchen was here. It certainly wasn?t on the other diners. The asparagus spears looked more like javelins (3/4? dia.) and were essentially raw. The waiter took our order, cleared the appetizers, and delivered the check, the bare essential and acceptable. The meal was inexcusable however; and, at over $100 for two, insulting. more

I am Front Desk Manager a small boutique hotel in Fort Lauderdale..I try my best to send every guest to this restaurant more

I had my wedding and reception there on the back patio. Everything went off beautifully and flawless. My husband and I have since been back there on a few occasions and the food, service, and ambience were still excellent. more

River House has great food,Upscale, and a great ambiance. It's like eating in a New England house with all your friends. They often have live music in the bar. I highly recommend it! more
