We celebrated my dear friend's birthday on Saturday. With our group size we needed to coordinate with the event person. I left a message for Courtney on Tuesday and received a call back within 2 hours. I let her know what we were celebrating and how big the group was. She explained their policy and paperwork was completed. Saturday afternoon I received a confirmation call and we were ready to party. We were seated in a spacious area so we weren't sitting on top of each other. Our server Raj was a gem and gave great recommendations for food. I had the crab spring rolls and they were everything he said they were and more. My mother ordered the salmon and I got the lobster tail meal. My little was also treated to chicken tenders and fries. The meal, the company and the servers as well as the manager that stopped by to ensure the food was good for us was all exquisite. Thank you to all for making my friend's birthday dinner superb and as special as she is.

Everything was just wonderful. Greeting by the wonderful staff at the door, that sat us at our table right away. Tyler, our server was wonders We started with Blackberry Lemon-Drop Martinis. Food ordered was Ribeye with fingerlings potato and okra ratatouille and Surf and Turf Pasta. Both were really good. I was not impressed with the okra ratatouille, I really didn't see any okra. But overall it was delicious. I did like the background music. It was nice and calming and definitely in the background.

Amazing food and service! Beautiful place with a great view. Service is always great and the dishes are consistently high quality.

A Louisville staple for seafood. Highly recommend the east coast oysters and if dinning with four or more get the seafood tour and sit overlooking the Ohio River. Great customer service and delicious cocktails.

First of all every time we come there, everyone in there is very kind, considerate, and always smiling! The food was absolutely awesome! I took a few photographs if you're interested. I tell my friends about your restaurant all the time. Thank you for having such a great restaurant ! I only have one complaint, though I wish it was a little bit more handicap, friendly. However, your staff compensated well for opening the doors everywhere.

On our last night in Louisville after a day on the Bourbon Trail, we went to dinner at River House. It's located right on the water. The restaurant has a large dining room, a great bar area and an outdoor dining patio by the water. The four of us decided to sit at the bar. What a great idea. We received fantastic service from the staff at the bar - such friendly and engaging interactions with Kristen, April, Maddie and Virginia. It really made our dining experience so fun. We started with cocktails, bourbon for the guys and martinis for the gals. I had a blackberry-cello martini, pretty and tasty. We shared the char-grilled octopus with twice-fried fingerling potatoes with bacon-artichoke vinaigrette and roasted garlic aioli. It was delicious, but the consensus was the octopus was chopped too small and got lost within the dish. We also shared the crispy jumbo gulf oysters served with chipotle cocktail and spicy remoulade. Yum! For dinner, I had the crispy grouper cheeks and gulf shrimp served over creamy lump crab-chive risotto. I love grouper cheeks and they were tender melt-in-your-mouth. I liked the risotto but didn't care for the sauce. If I ever go back (hoping to!), I will skip the sauce and vegetables and get the grouper cheeks without sauce on top of the risotto. Less is more. My husband had the Friday night fish special and I forgot what it was, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved the atmosphere of this place and definitely the staff that was so welcoming and friendly. If you're visiting Louisville for the Bourbon Trail, I recommend River House.

This restaurant is simply amazing. My wife and I agree that this was one of the best meals we've ever had in our lives. Service = A+ Food = A+ Drinks = A+ Atmosphere = A+ View = A+ The lump crab tower appetizer was one of the most delicious things we've ever eaten. Served with 2 types of butter and Old Bay on the side. We also had the grouper cheeks, 2 types of scallops, lobster, & shrimp. We will definitely return whenever we are in the Louisville area. Highly recommend. 5 stars plus!

My friend and I stopped in for a late weekday lunch. We were promptly seated at a beautiful river view table. The floor to ceiling windows provide a panoramic view of the Ohio River, I glanced over the seafood heavy menu, when I saw the chilled seafood salad, I needed to look no further. We enjoyed the warm artichoke appetizer, the seafood salad, and the crab-stuffed zucchini flowers. The cast-iron cornbread was the perfect sweet bite for the end of our meal. Our server was a kind young lady, attentive, but allowed us plenty of time for a nice leisurely lunch. The main attraction of River House is the view, so if you can, try to get a window or outside patio seat.

Ooooooh my goodness. River House is our favorite Chef Varanese restaurant. Came for brunch to celebrate my baby's 21st birthday!! (Had dinner at Varanese the night before) We got to meet most the staff who are so friendly and all about hospitality! We had an amazing time! Got to sit with Selvi who is PHENOMENAL!!! Just love love her! Just warm and always smiling and deliciously delightful! We were stuffed!! So let's get into it! The interior is beautiful and spacious. A treat to look at in itself! The food.... So full so fast. The cornbread is like what I make myself and so delicious! Will be forever ordering it. The steak quesadilla is so good- I can't have tomatoes so I just pick them out... lol The lobster salad is my new favorite period. I'm from New Hampshire so growing up on the ocean with the freshest seafood has made me kind of like uuuhhhh to being landlocked and served seafood- IYKYK and you know when it's not fresh... but this is gorgeously wand so fresh. Pairs perfectly with the greens tossed in olive oil. Ordered her the caramelized pineapple colada - she LOOOOVED it! This place is unique and perfect so.. yeah go!! (As I'm getting ready to go again now) Thanks Crew for a fantastic time and helping make my babygirls birthday a special day and success!! Chefs kiss hit em five times And yes seeing the emojis do help with emphasis lol!!

Exceptional in every way The atmosphere at our dinner and our brunches are exceptional, especially if you get the patio on a nice day. Service: spectacular the service is always polite and helpful inviting and knowledgeable of the menu, friendly and fun. Atmosphere : spacious/ best patio dinning in the city indoor diving is always wonderful. It is open space and plenty of private dinner, you never feel crowded. The patio is the best in the city, overlooking the Ohio River with barges and the bell of Louisville going by and the perfect sunset and cool summer breeze. It can't be beat Food: seafood steak with a southern twist the seasonal menu is wonderfully prepared I very much enjoy all the seafood offerings from the wonderful curated oysters to the v tower filled with wonderful shellfish. The best in the city.
