    We had a great meal and a beautiful time here. Everything was superb. The food, of course, was excellent in every detail, as was the service.
    The view of the river and the fireplace provide a wonderful ambience.
    Highly recommended.

  • revisited with new chef.. much improved! still needs some fine tuning, especially with service. portion was on the smaller side - but nice selection and quality ingredients.

  • What a pleasant surprise! The food is amazing! The chef grows his own produce, makes his own bread and pasta and the place is clean and beautiful with great views! This has to be the biggest turnaround ever as I have stopped by for years and it was very spotty. Now I have been three times in the last 2 weeks. I LOVE IT!!!

  • Beautiful views, excellent food, welcoming staff and great ambiance can all be found at the Riverhouse. I love going in to have dinner for its great wine list and delicious entrees. I can’t forget there deserts. Chef Raul always makes sure we have a great dining experience. I highly recommend it.
