    Maybe we are just jaded, the meal was good and we enjoyed it. But nothing special. Over cooked asparagus on the Grouper plate with less than a tablespoon of crab. Crab soup was good but didn’t stand out. Salads were fresh and tasty and service was good and relatively quick. We would go back if nearby but wouldn’t make a trip downtown just for this.
    River House SeafoodResponded 6 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the meal and service, though we’re sorry to hear the Grouper and crab bisque didn’t fully impress. We always strive to offer standout dishes, and we’ll take your comments into consideration to improve. We appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll consider giving us another visit if you’re in the area.
