    Food was outstanding and we appreciate live music, but it sometimes made it difficult to communicate. Server seemed like he was constantly in a rush, but was otherwise good. Overall, the restaurant is fantastic and i would recommend it to anyone that loves seafood. We have been here before and will be back again in the future.

    The server was great. The food was not hot and the pan-seared scallops I ordered were bland. The lobster/crab bisque had a film that had developed on top because it sat before being brought out to the table.
    River House SeafoodResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's great to hear the server made a positive impression! However, I’m sorry to hear the food didn’t meet your expectations. The temperature and freshness of the dishes are certainly important, and it's disappointing when they don’t arrive as anticipated. I hope you’ll consider giving it another try, as sometimes these issues can be isolated. Your feedback is valuable for helping to improve the overall experience.

    The restaurant was warm on a cold night. No bread was served which I missed. My husband enjoyed the flavor of his scallop and shrimp fettuccine but said it was a bit soupy. I didn’t see actual lumps of meat in my Crabcakes which I prefer but the filling and I suppose crabmeat was good. The peach cobbler was very good .
