About River House

River House offers a delightful dining experience with great food and fantastic views of the water. The Lobster BLT and the fish tacos are standout dishes, while the chowder is praised as the best in the region. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food - especially the chicken tenders and fries - is delicious. The service is accommodating, though the drinks and pricing may not be to everyone's liking. The view and vibe make the slightly higher prices worth it, offering a scenic and relaxing meal by the riverside.

We came in today a little after 4 pm to see if there was space for 5 of us, we weren't picky where. We waited at the host stand while servers/hosts pointedly avoided looking at us or went around us without any acknowledgement. (I know from food service friends that they're down management, but that's not an excuse.) We decided to go around the corner to The Oar House, which was an amazing experience, as always.

Great view when sitting outside. The food was tasty but not to die for. My fries had good seasoning, but they were a tad cold. The crab cake sandwich had bacon on it and a great texture. Also, the waitress was friendly and prompt at serving us.

Great lunch today! The crab cakes and lobster mac and cheese were delicious.
