    This one was tough... a nice Friday lunch that looked good, great parking and unique menu. We went for the steak tips, fish and chips and buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. The steak was cooked literally perfect. Super tender with an amazing char. The flavor definitely depends on your preference as it has strong pepper flavor. The mashed potatoes were dry and warm/cold when brought out. The fish was fresh and literally just out of the fryer. It was sadly pouring oil still. It definitely could have drained better. The Mac and cheese was good underneath but the top was dry and hard. We tried the dessert. I went with the banana cream pie and was told no because it's "too soupy" so I went with churros which were good. We also went with the chocolate cookie skillet which was under cooked and super soggy. While waiting for dessert the manager comes to the from and starts spraying half a can of the strongest smelling floral febreeze on all the fake trees and plants. This almost caused a migraine for one of us and an asthma attack for another! I've never seen this happen before EVER. When we asked her to stop she asked if we wanted to move and that she couldn't smell anything which was IMPOSSIBLE. That did not affect the score although really weird. The food was hit or miss but for the prices being charged this was a major letdown.

    Love the ambience of this restaurant. Been here twice now. It gets really busy and you can only book reservations for 6+ people so expect a wait unless you arrive early!!! Service is always great and food is really good! I got a burger and everything was perfect!

    Party of 3. We came on a Saturday night & had a wait time of about 30 minutes. For appetizers we started with the pretzel charcuterie board (new & delicious!!) buffalo chicken rangoons & a cup of the stuffed pepper soup. The apps were delicious & did not disappoint! For the entree we all opted for the River house pasta caesar salad with grilled chicken, great portion sizes. For Dessert we ordered the make your own smores & chocolate chip cookie skillet both were excellent. The s'mores is great for a group of people! The food was great & so was the service! Our server was friendly & prompt refilling our drinks as needed. Will definitely be back.

    I recently went to dinner at Riverhouse with a friend and we couldn't have been happier with the service, food and ambiance. The Mac & Cheese was SO good - highly recommend topping it with buffalo chicken! The outdoor area is adorable. Would recommend this spot, for sure!!

    Went to Riverhouse in Taunton tonight and it was amazing! Our server Cyndi was so wonderful. My sister in law is here from Fl and really wanted the clam special. Cyndi went out of her way to make sure she got them. Very attentive to all of our needs. We were in the igloo and I am sure she had tables inside as well. We started with margarita flights and mimosa flights. They were so good. The food was just as awsome! Bacon wrapped in bacon as an appetizer, Meatloaf, Crispy chicken sandwich, chop salad with steak tips and almond crusted sweet chili salmon. All cooked perfectly! We will be back.

    I have been wanting to try the Riverhouse since they opened but never had the opportunity. My friend and I finally decided to give them a try after seeing a post with a pretzel charcuterie board which combined some of our favorite snack items. When arriving I thought the restaurant was nicely decorated, greatly set up and inviting. I loved the nautical mermaid theme. The staff were incredible, super attentive and very helpful with suggestions. Which is why it's hard to make a not so stellar review. I cannot say anything bad about the service or the atmosphere. My complaints are with the food and drinks. We enjoyed the appetizer but it was standard Sysco delivered product, heated and served which included pre-cut cubed cheese, frozen soft pretzel, meat, dill pickles, jarred queso, yellow mustard and spicy mustard. Nothing you couldn't find at a grocery store to make yourself and nothing of restaurant quality to warrant the price we paid for it. We also decided to get margarita flights which they are known for. I love a good margarita so I was looking forward to trying the different flavors. I was surprised when they arrived the color was pale and lacking. You couldn't even distinguish which was which except for the traditional which looked like water. I ordered original, watermelon, blood orange and blackberry. So I was expecting the glasses to look yellow, orange, bright pink & purple (wine color). They all looked baby pink and tasted nothing like the fruits mentioned above. I actually told my friend they all taste like Robetussin cough syrup. Then for our meal, I order the meatloaf sandwich that came with fries. It was simply lacking all flavor, mushy and not good. We decided to treat ourselves with dessert so I saved room and only ate half of my meal. We both ordered the special dessert of the night which was crème brûlée cheese cake. It was totally not what I expected. I truly thought the cheese cake was going to have a crunchy top brûléed shell. Instead it was a slice of frozen cheese cake where the kitchen just torched and burned the top. I didn't even finish it. This place has great potential but needs to rework their menu with a good chef and mixologist. I really wanted to like this place but until something changes, I will not be returning.

    Waited over two hours and left without getting my food. The steak tips I order was burnt and the second time was raw. They did not ask me if I wanted to get something else. I sat their and watch my daughter eat. It was supposed to be a good day for me and my daughter but they didn't care. The lady who was dressed up as Mrs. Clause shame on you your not a nice lady.

    One of my favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious! Drinks are always good! Service is always excellent. This restaurant does a lot for the community. Toy & clothing drives. Today they were in the parade. The place is always decorated for the season .

    In the area on our travels, using Yelp to seek out a nice place to try. River house is right on the water, nice ambiance and service. We liked the menu and beer selection. We had a nice lunch feast with chowder, tuna, fish tacos and salmon!

    Here is the very small amount of turkey tips you get when you add them to a salad. 3 small tips chopped into 10 tiny bits for $10 upcharge!

    Been trying for 2 days to make a reservation-NO one is picking up the phone or calling back. Not good customer service for a new customer.

    My wife and I have been fans of La Familia for years. The Cumberland, Rhode Island location has…read morebeen our special place for anniversaries and Valentine's dinners, so we already knew how wonderful their food and hospitality could be. Today we had the opportunity to visit the Taunton location for a bereavement luncheon after a family funeral, and I was truly impressed. The luncheon was held in a beautiful private room upstairs that was set up perfectly for our gathering. Everything was elegant, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The meal was served family-style buffet, and every dish was outstanding. The quality of the food was exactly what we've come to expect from La Familia--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly welcoming and attentive to everyone's needs, yet never rushed our group. Considering the emotional circumstances of the day, their kindness and professionalism meant a lot to all of us. And I have to mention the bread--whoever makes it deserves special recognition. I would happily buy a loaf or two every week if I could. A sincere chef's kiss to the entire establishment and especially the function team who handled our event so beautifully. La Familia continues to prove why it's such a special place for our family.
