This place is AMAZING! My friends surprised me with a bday brunch and we had the best time, food, drinks, and server. Our server Cindy was beyond amazing. I will for sure be back and request Cindy as my server. read more

Went for my birthday dinner, and LOVED it! Excellent service, flights, the tuna was fantastic, cozy, cute- hit all the marks!

The food is well made! And tasty! We enjoyed the three food items we ate there. However the portions for the price were not as expected. It was very costly for the small portions. Drinks were good. Except the blueberry mint mimosa... went out on a limb trying it AND it tasted like crest. Will return there but wouldn't hurt them to match the price with more reasonable portions. read more

The food here is so good! Had the fired calamari and the sauce was out of this world! They have a big bar and good selection of beers, it's is a good location with easy parking. Nice low key vibes. read more

Orchestrated chaos, dysfunctional amateur hour and bland food is the only way to describe this little overpriced gem. Won't make that mistake again. Yikes! read more

We have been to Riverhouse quite a few times with never an issue, tonight, however....extremely disappointed! We sat on the deck, it was a beautiful night..our waitress (Casey, maybe?) Was very attentive answered all questions etc...when asked about the fish and chips she described it as a huge portion...sold!...sadly what was received was nothing more than over fried dried out 2 pieces of fish nuggets! It is by no means her fault, she is doing her job and doing it very well I may add. She apologized for what we were served and stated she brought it to the managers attention. Sadly for the 2 hours that we were there did he ever make an attempt to approach us...by no means am I blaming the waitress, she was great!..we payed our full bill and tipped accordingly and mentioned again we would like to speak to a manager...again, no appearance by him!...on our way out we spoke the the hostess that was very apologetic but again...not her fault either. We weren't looking to be comped, we werelooking for someone of authority at the restaurant to be aware of the horrendous meal we were served...so needless to say we paid $24.00 for a horrible fish nugget plate that wasn't worth $10.00. Sadly, because of the managers lack of managing we won't be back. I was on the edge of not posting a review because I know everyone is hurting right now, however, I also work very hard for my money and expect at the very least to have a meal that is somewhat how it is described for that price. I have been a huge supporter of restaurants during Covid, tipped over and above for dine in, take out and pick up, all I ask in return is a decent meal for the price I am paying. Riverhouse is no longer in the rotation, they don't deserve another shot there has been many, sadly all because of a lack luster manager that couldn't take 5 minutes to acknowledge an issue a paying customer had. read more

Food and service were excellent. Food portions made the meals an even better value. Had to wait 90 minutes but experience was well worth it. Hostesses were efficient and friendly. Highly recommend read more

Expensive but effective the drinks get the job done for sure but the food is kinda for birds In my opinion it was better with the bacon wrapped scallops and the menus change a lot it seems not much for choices either read more

My sister and I sat outside, great ambiance, a lovely fire and scattered heaters made the temperature perfect. The food was delicious with a very nice wine selection. I live in Colorado with many nice dining options and this was right on point with those delightful experiences. Excellent! Thank you and I wish you continued success!!! All the Best!

This place makes you forget you are in Taunton, MA! Beautiful outdoor space right on the river. The margaritas were amazing as were the apps that we had (filet sliders, stuffed mushrooms and Buffalo chicken dip). We will definitely be back! read more

Turning 60 on Friday was quite the moment for me...dont really feel any older and I look fantastic.....but it's a big deal and we decided to try a brand new restaurant to mark the occasion...the Riverhouse in Taunton's Weirs Villlage area has only been in existence since November..honestly these businesses that start off their journey during a pandemic..its incredibly impressive...I have been told this building used to house a dive bar but has now transformed into something quite gorgeous...absolutely love the wood focused buildout and river theme decor...patio outside currently houses about 5 of those igloos that folks can eat in..they are equipted with small fireplaces and just look so inviting...4 person minimum so it wasnt in the cards for us this time but would love to go back...we had reservations which you must have now with the restrictions of 25% occupancy.. seeing our table with a birthday greeting on it for me was so touching..I just loved that they made me feel so special from the first moment...manager Cheryl stopped by to greet us and give me bday wishes..they set us up with a perfect table at a very large window overlooking the river...and then we met Cindy...our server who was everything we could have hoped for...attentive, knowledgable, fun, and totally rolled with all my husband's craziness..its a wild ride dealing with the Davester and Cindy was rolling right with us..we had such a wonderful experience and she gets all the glory for that..so on to the dining and drinking...hubby sticks with beer..believe they were Sam Adam's draft of some sort...and I chose a speciality drink...a cosmo made with vodka and limoncello plus some other things..oh my...a perfect mixology...loved it...garlic knots for the table with a marinara sauce for dipping...very nice and warm...we chose the bacon wrapped scallops to share as an appetizer...they were perfectly cooked..could have eaten 12 myself..then our mains..been craving steak..never order a filet mignon but it's my giant birthday so what the heck...hes buying...at the Riverhouse its served with a sea salt vanilla butter..I chose butternut squash and broccoli with bacon as my sides...that butter melting into the meat and the veg...wow..delicious...hubby had steak tips with garlic mashed and roasted tri colored carrots..great...dessert is always on my mind so of course it's my birthday...its a must have..I had been told they have a local vendor who makes their dessert offerings for them..now I commented to the hubby how much I love their menu as it's not very long while having something for everyone..I enjoy that...an endless menu to me is overwhelming and unrealistic for the kitchen..but for desserts...I would love a few more options than the three they had..guessing when life gets back to normal they may add more...but the Death by Chocolate cake for sure hit the spot..perfect for sharing which I did...lol...I highly recommend the Riverhouse..would for sure go back..love to try lunch or brunch also..the Riverhouse also supports a local organization that gives aid to the homeless..Matthew's Mission...so here they are just opening their business during a pandemic and they are quick to give back to their community...they get high marks for that alone...the Riverhouse is open daily...put it on your list...and thanks again to Cheryl and Cindy and the entire staff for one incredibly lovely birthday dinner... read more

Service was so terrible. Waited 45 mins for appetizer and another 1 hour for 2 salads. Waitress and manager blamed the kitchen being backed up (um, salads are premade and in the walk in, they literally pour it out on a plate, and what about all the other tables ordering seafood dinners that came and left, but ok). At the two hour mark and no meals we asked for the check and finally out come...warm as in sitting out forever salads. Not worth giving them another chance. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I will NEVER give my business to this so called establishment ever again. This evening I called in to ask when the Kitchen was closing as my husband and I were literally just a few minutes away from the restaurant. As a Nurse that just worked a very long day I was hungry and just wanted to be able to enjoy some dinner. I was told the kitchen closes at 9pm. The time was 8:54 pm when I called, I explained I was very close and I asked to place an order over the phone to make sure I got it in before the cutoff. I was then told I would have to place the order in person, they would not honor or take an order over the phone. The woman restated again that the kitchen closed at 9pm. I then repeated "as long as I place the order in person before 9pm I would be good?", to which I was told "if you want to risk it". I arrived and walked in the door at 8:58 pm, by the time I walked in and spoke to the two women standing in front it was now 8:59pm. I was greeted rudely with sarcasm and told I would not be served because the kitchen was closing at 9pm. I reminded her I just spoke to her on the phone and it wasn't 9pm yet. I told her it was bad business to run a restaurant this way. Needless to say she couldn't have cared less what I had to say. They had no intention to serve us at all no matter what and knew that on the phone. With a smug smile she said she'd go back and double check with the kitchen but came back informing me that it was now after 9 so the kitchen was closed. She stated you arrived at 9, so it's too late. I told her we both know that statement is 100% not true. I will NEVER again spend another penny here for any reason or any occasion. I refuse to be treated with such a passive aggressive manner so rudely for a so-so meal. Riverhouse, do better!! Take my advice everyone, spend your money and time elsewhere. read more

this mac in cheese was so bland i wish i could die there was nothing yummy about it no salt so spice nothing!!!! not recommend!!!!!!

Just had the worst experience. Wife and I wanted to have Brunch so we decided to go here. We go there and there was a small wait. We put our name in for a seat at the bar and were told we were next on list. We waited for about 30 minutes and in that time noticed 2 women come in who proceeded to bypass the hostess station and wait at the bar. We watched them than take 2 seats that popped up right where they were standing. I confronted them to which they stated they had their names on the list. No chance as we watched them walk right by the hostess and we were told we were next for bar seat. We than confronted the hostess and she lied flat out to our faces saying the 2 women had put their names in and were ahead of us. Good to know you treat good paying patrons like shit. You've lost a few customers today as we have passed along how poorly we were treated. read more

I tried to like this place but after the second time of going there, not satisfied either time. The clam chowder tasted horrible and watery. Also served with goldfish that I thought was weird. Ordered the large, gave me a small but charged me for the large. Waitress was not helpful nor friendly. read more

The place is very cute. Food not so good. Chicken kabobs where horrible. Fatty made with chicken thighs. Sent them back. Couldn't eat them.

Our first time eating at this relatively new restaurant (Opened in November?). Staff was friendly and our food was great. We ate inside and felt safe separated from others during Covid. The bread knots were tasty (our daughter loved them)! I had the almond salmon and husband had steak with shrimp that was cut inlaid - nicely presented! Unfortunately I didn't take pics. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Our waitress was fantastic ! Scallops app was phenomenal as was gosh and chips. My husband got the surf and Turf burger and the shrimp part was great. I got steak tips at first and they were chewy however she took right care of it and the replacement was scrumptious. Great experience. read more

Both times that I have tried this place, the food takes an extremely long time to come out. After my experience the first time, I was not impressed enough to come back for another visit but the people I went with tonight wanted to try it out. The salmon/mashed potatoes and asparagus was so utterly disappointing. I have worked in the restaurant business in the past, so from that standpoint, I seriously wanted to know who was working expo. They allowed this dish to be delivered to a table that looked so dry and over cooked it was unbelievable. I had to use my steak knife to cut through the asparagus four times before I could cut off a bite. Stringy, starting to turn that yellowish color. I wish I had taken a photo. I paid $23 for salmon that I only took home to feed to my cats. The only reason I'm giving the restaurant a 2 star is because the atmosphere is great being by the river and the servers are nice. The food is not good and certainly not worth the price and long wait. As a server, I think it's important to make sure your customers are happy. Take that extra step .... If they didn't eat their dish, you say "how come you didn't eat, was it not good?" Some people don't want to complain unless they are asked directly. I mean.... My plate looked so unappetizing that I'm just extremely surprised it was even delivered to the table. Not happy and after this second visit, I will never return. read more

Very cute restaurant, our server was sweet either she was too busy or new but it was pulling teeth to get her to come over (I get it either way). The 4-star is due to the food though, it took awhile which is fine the food was ok but the pasta salad was gross definitely old. And this is coming from someone who LOVES leftover pasta salad this was gross and I didn't touch it after the first bite. Again the atmosphere was great and my server was nice, just wish the food was better. read more

Walked in on a Sunday evening and waited about 10 minutes while the hostess was on the phone to acknowledge us. She then hung up the phone and said ok now what did I miss? I said we are a party of 3 and we would like to have dinner. She said oh no do you have reservations? I replied no. She said well "as you can see we are extremely busy and you need reservations". She was just extremely rude. Wouldn't go back after being treated like that! read more

They have really tasty food and their steak tips are amazing. They have a nice patio out back as well with a view of the water. Drinks aren't bad either. Dress is casual and I think they have live music sometimes. read more

The service is terrible. They only had on two servers on. The bartender had to come over to our table and ask us if anybody was help us, And even after that it took forever for someone to come over and take our order. Got the seared tuna as an appetizer it was over cooked. Got the pan-seared scallops as a main course. that was good. The food was relatively good. But the service is horrendous! read more

Food took way too long due to kitchen issues and was only mediocre. Will not return for quite some time.

Great service, food and atmosphere, right down to the Gavin, the bus boy. My family and I will be back.

Loved it! My only disappointment here was that the outdoor dining was not open at the time we went. So many charming little details. I love the background music wasn't too loud to easily have a conversation. The bar has plexi glass partitions, 2 seats per section. Rope lights are so unique. I had pan seared scallops, done perfectly. Boyfriend had steak tips, equally as good; brought chicken tenders & fries home for my daughter and both were great! This place makes you want to be a regular. read more

Great steaks and customer service! Looks beautiful inside and has an outdoor patio on water.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try something knew and came across this restaurant. We called and book a reservation for 4 o'clock. We arrived about 10 minutes prior and we were pleasantly seated. The service was horrible we ordered our drinks & food at the same time after waiting for our server to come to our table for about 20 minutes. The restaurant didn't seem to busy but the kitchen was "backed up" we ordered a cessation salad to split as an appetizer which didn't get to the table until an hour after we had ordered. Every table around us received complementary bread except us. We finally received our food about 20 minutes after the appetizer and the skillet Mac & cheese was terrible. The pasta was dry and as hard as a brick. There was absolutely no flavor either. Sad to say we will not be returning to the restaurant. read more

not good at all. Beautiful restaurant, but the food was terrible. I got the cranberry balsamic chicken. It had no flavor, the grilled corn had no flavor, my mother got the steak tips with mushrooms onions butter not squash and carrots. She said the steak was rubbery and disgusting, The carrots were raw in the butternut squash had no flavor. My girlfriend had a hamburger and said it was OK. I've never written a review, and we're not the type of people to complain. But this was a mistake we will not be back. read more

Went here for dinner. Waited an hour for our food. The turkey tips were cold and dry as hell and steak tips overcooked as well. Waitress was very good though, we blame the kitchen and poor management. Too bad, was really looking forward to this place from all the great reviews. Spoke to the manager as our food showed and she just said kitchen was backed up due to several large parties all of them gone by the time we placed our order. Really?? read more

I was so disappointed in this place it's not even funny. We had a a few people mention it being a good spot, so we went to check it out. We got the margarita flight, all premixed poured out of a plastic jug. We sat at the bar on Saturday at 6:00, got our food at 7:50, 2 meals and an app.. Not only we were told "if your really hungry I would go elsewhere next time" but our seats had a straight view into the kitchen, where we saw one of the kitchen employees preparing plates. He was grabbing with his bare hands lettuce and other various food to plate. No gloves. Bare hands. Then grabbing his cellphone and texting and grabbing an energy drink and then reaching back into food bare handed and plating food for the customers to EAT. When we finally got our food, it was also a huge disappointment. The Buffalo chicken dip had 2 chunks of chicken throughout. Management: get your shit together! read more

Disappointing experience. 4pm reservation... 4:30 seating. We were really looking forward to trying the stuffed figs, but They were all out! It took some time for our apps to be served and our glasses sat empty for a while before the waiter ever came to check on us and he never offered water. When we did order another drink we didn't have time to finish them because of the time it took to get them and our 90 minutes was up. Warm garlic knots were delicious. Filet medallion sliders were very good. I would recommend them. Scallops wrapped in bacon were just ok. (Sandy) I wouldn't get them again. I wouldn't recommend the wedge salad. The bacon was like beef jerky. Dry, Tough and chewy ; not fresh. The burger with bacon and egg was good and cooked perfectly. I felt like everything took a long time to get and the young man waiting on us was not attentive at all. I think they are new and still trying to work out the kinks. Maybe we will try again in a few months. It's not at the top of the list. read more

It is not like me to leave a negative review of a restaurant. In this case the negatives are well deserved and overwhelming. Based on the low food quality and non existent service tonight, I am at a loss to understand this restaurant's 5 star rating. Considering the difficulty many have today in these times affording restaurant dining, people have a right to expect and receive value for their hard earned money. I am a chef. This is not the ranting of a diner who wouldn't know lobster from red shrimp. I know good food. I don't know what the person who prepared our food is but I'm pretty certain her or she is no chef. I also know bad food prepared by an unqualified person, or one who has given themselves a title they have not earned. We were there for 2 hours waiting for entrees. Our firsts drinks took more than 30 minutes to arrive. During our two hours they managed to serve a single order of stuffed mushrooms; I did not taste, one bowl and one cup of the worst clam chowder I've had. The "clam" chowder was flavorless cold unpeeled potato, potato skin & bacon bit soup. The flour was raw and unfinished. My wife asked for a to-go container for her chowder three times over 25 minutes. We finally insisted our entrees be packed to go, as two hours was more than enough. After being told we were leaving the waitress, unwilling to accept no for an answer, came back 10 minutes later to serve our food at the table. We eventually convinced her to pack the $200 of food to go. I wish I could post a photo of my lobster mac & cheese. No cheese. No cream. Just dry boiled unflavored macaroni. The so-called chef used so much raw garlic in mac & cheese, even the lobster is inedible. And we tipped the waitress like she wasn't incompetent. Poor food. Poor service, but more importantly, poor management. It is always the Owner/Operator's or General Manager's fault. One of my worst dining experiences in many many years. read more

The food is very bland. It taste like it has no seasonings. Was very disappointed. Also the manager talks badly about her employees to her customers. I'd give it a 0/5. read more

Looks are deceiving. I've had the scallops and some fish dishes here. After eating a few things my AIDS cleared up. I'm sure it was the food here. Wouldn't recommend getting an old fashioned here, but with so many choices of great cuisine who cares about one drink. read more

Tried this place for the first time today and absolutely loved it ! It was so cool inside and out. You can tell it's a very clean restaurant. The food was delicious and the drinks were so good. I love how they do different kinds of flights. Our server was very friendly and made my friends and I feel so welcomed. We will definitely be back again! read more

If I coule give 0 stars I would !!! Wanted to try this place so we called on Sat afternoon to make a reservation for Sat night, however they only take reservations for parties of 6 or more...understood, that's fine, we decided to go anyway. We arrived at 5:45 PM & were told by the Hostess (Maria) it would be a 30 minute wait for a table, but seating was available at the bar now - we said okay, we'll take bar seating, then she double checks - no seats at the bar. Husband says that's okay - we will wait. Maria asks if we want a table - Husband says we'd prefer a table, but will take bar - whichever is available first. We didn't mind the wait - it was a rainy Sat night & I'm sure most places would have a wait. Maria steps from behind the station & greets everyone - thanks us for waiting, makes a joke about introducing ourselves to each other, since we have been there so long...hahahha. 30 minutes goes by, 45 minutes. Look around - there are 3 parties ahead of us...contemplate leaving, but we've already waited this long...can't be THAT much longer, right ? WRONG ! 2 guys walk-in - they give there name & wait - Maria spots them - very loudly guys says - jeez...I thought I'd get special treatment, instead I'm standing here waiting next to a barrel (he's been there all of 5 minutes). Maria scurries away - then miraculously reappears - waving the 2 guys over "Kyle follow me"- what do you know - there are 2 seats available at the bar ! 10 minutes later, Maria comes back (she talks loud) so everyone waiting can hear - she approaches 2 pretty young blonde girls that came in after us & were waiting about 25 minutes - Kyle & his friend have invited these 2 to join them for dinner, they giggle & off they go - another miracle - 2 more seats available at the bar !?! A couple that was also waiting watched this unfold as well....she approched the hostess stand & was given some BS story about them having reservations or something to that effect (a reservation ? for 2 ?) ! My husband & I decided to leave. No way in hell we want to give them our money after how they treat customers - so after an 1 hour & 15 minutes of waiting we left...as did the other couple who wanted to try out this resturant & will also never return. Customer Service SUCKS, well, unless you know someone. On a good note - we had an excellent meal & excellent service at La Familia down the street !!! read more

I was looking forward to trying this mew place and hoping it was wonderful. I was extremely disappointed. I ordered takeout-mistake. 1. Received the wrong meal entirely. These meals were for a birthday party so that ruined a portion of the party. 2. One of the meals received had no taste which was very disappointing because I love fish and chips. 3. Left not one but THREE messages asking to be contacted regarding my concerns and I never received them I had called about a week prior as well with some questions about dining there and I never received a call back that time either. Extremely disappointed. Ok, I get it your busy but step up your customer service. Yes, opening a new business is difficult especially during these times but customer service is everything. Definitely won't be going back, one time trying it or not. I could deal with chalking it up to just an off night but the lack of customer service is what seals the deal about not returning. read more

The food was fantastic! Stopped in on a later week night about a month back. They source food from local farmers as well as other local businesses! We got the scallops, cranberry chicken, and my boyfriend can't remember his dish but they were all 5/5. Will be back also Laura was awesome. read more
