We had an outstanding dinner at River House for Thanksgiving. We have eaten there multiple times and each time have had a great experience and meal. Thanksgiving was no dinner. We were seated promptly in a nice table with a window and fireplace! The view of Riverhouse over the May river is lovely at sun down. Service was excellent, professional, timely, helpful, unobtrusive. The drinks were, wine selection excellent. The crab cake is to die for and made, who knew, with mostly crab! The file amazing and sides, sauce and deserts all excellent. We visit often and visit Riverhouse frequently. Don't miss it!

The food was fantastic! The service was amazing! Noel was so knowledgeable and kind. He made my fiancées 30th birthday dinner unforgettable!
Excellent food and Benny was a great server. Oir only complaint was the cocktails which were not as good as in the past.
Excellent service. Loved our hostess and Chad was very attentive & knew his stuff. His assistant was very good, as well. Food was delicious!
Noel is the best. Wonderful evening. Shared the tomahawk with two friends. Caviar service. Everything was perfect.
We enjoyed a celebratory birthday dinner at River House, and overall the meal was fantastic—slightly overpriced, but still truly memorable. Our server did a great job answering all of our questions; he was attentive without being overbearing and really helped make the evening enjoyable.
We started with the rolls, which I believe were peach-flavored. They were so good that I wanted more than one, but I was determined to save room for everything else.
Next, we had the crab cake, which was exceptional—one of the best I’ve ever had. We followed that with the wedge salad and the apple & burrata. Both were beautifully presented and delicious, but the apple & burrata really surprised me. It was unique, unexpected, and absolutely outstanding.
For entrées, we chose the Maine lobster tail. I love vanilla, so I was especially curious about the vanilla bean beurre monté. It was incredible—one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. We also tried the venison tenderloin, which was equally delicious, along with a side of asparagus.
For dessert, I had my eye on the strawberry rhubarb cheesecake, but since it’s November and not strawberry season in South Carolina, I opted for the C4 instead. It was great as well—we loved trying it.
A wonderful dining experience all around!

This is not just sitting down for a meal, this is an experience all in itself. The customer service is top notch. The food, presentation, flavor and quality are exceptional. The wait staff are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend for special occasions as they will ensure it's an experience to remember. Thank you.
It lived up to its hype!! Went there with some friends for a birthday dinner and we were so impressed by the quality of everything. The staff were very well trained and gave exceptional service. The food was outstanding, the setting very cozy and the drink menu unique.
Our server was Bennie (I think that was the spelling) he is up there with our favorite servers of all time. He was kind, welcoming and made us feel special plus we loved his recommendations. Can’t wait to go back and we will certainly request him. Thanks for making our night!

5 stars all the way! From the amazing service to the delicious food, we fell in love!
My partner and I came to celebrate our anniversary and everything was just ✨️Perfection✨️
As soon as you walk through the door, a charming hosting staff welcomes you and guides you to your table, where you're greeted not just by your kind server but also by the sommelier, Alana, who is sweet and incredibly knowledgeable. Their wine list is exceptional!
We got a 2019 Brunello that matched perfectly with everything that we ordered.
They welcomed us with two glasses of champagne, and everyone was so servicial and kind, a really outstanding staff who made us feel so warm with their embrace!
Talking about our server Benny :) I was out of words with such splendid service that he provided us, we're foodies and like to try places but we have never had a better service night like last night's, it was a delight to have Benny as our server, the quantity of knowledge that he has is really amazing! You can tell they take care of their staff, they all look so happy to work there! It was our first but it won't be the last one, we're already planning to come back for round two! We never had an equal experience of amazing food and service, usually one out of the two is missing, but Benny, the staff, and the Chef made a wonderful and exquisite night possible, we're very grateful and will be back for sure!🥂
I also want to shout out the foodrunners, every single time they came to drop off the food, they did it with a smile and explained the whole sense of the plate to understand better, they were phenomenal! Patrick was one of them, I believed, with such a nice attitude and a very kind smile!
From the start to the end, we'll always remember last night with so much love and hope to be back sooner than later!🥂✨️

We went for my birthday dinner and I let them know ahead of time that I was Gluten Free. The server Chad went above and beyond to help me celebrate my birthday. Food was outstanding, service was first class ! I think I'm going back every year to celebrate.
Impeccable attention to detail with modifications to menu to accommodate allergies. Compliments to Chef Vesey, server Chad, and the entire staff!
Great presentation of our meal and attentive service. A special thanks to Teddy our server and his recommendations
We loved this restaurant overall! Our only complaint is where we were seated. We came to palmetto bluff and stayed on property for our twenty fifth wedding anniversary and we were sat at a small table off the main dining room that was placed right up to a wall cutting the rest of the dining room off. We still had a great experience! Our server Chad, was phenomenal and definitely softened the disappointment of our table location! The food was exceptional. Our favorite was the crab cake appetizer, the bread service, and the chicken dish. We also loved the surprise dessert with candle. Nice touch!! Beautiful restaurant, incredible service, amazing food!
Fabulous evening got our Anniversary. Teddy our waiter was polite, vivacious, and had a tremendous personality. One of the best waiters ever. Our food was creative, delicious, and out of this world. Our wine pairing were perfect. It could not have been better. We will return ofter.
