The House on the River

"So glad I chose this place to host my 40th birthday dinner. Atmosphere is just amazing, felt so homey. Food was delicious. And service was impeccable. Sean was an amazing waiter. He went above and beyond with even helping with some of the decoration set up. Highly recommend this place. Also shoutout to Harry. Amazing staff."

"We arrived on Riverwalk by our boat, and by chance came to this restaurant. A group of eight of us, and we are seated almost immediately upstairs in a very eclectic and unique dining area. We had the entire room to ourselves! Really enjoyed the ambience, and the service was exceptionally good. The food was surprisingly good as well. We’re curious to learn more about the other side of the house which is reported to be haunted! Recommend this restaurant to anybody who is looking for a new and unique experience in Fort Lauderdale"

"If you’re looking for an experience by the water, then come to the house on the river! When we went, it wasn’t too crowded. We did have a reservation though, and I highly recommend that you do that just in case. Food: We ordered the crusted salmon and I had the fish with shrimp. My fish with shrimp was definitely the better of the two dishes as the side for the crusted salmon was very heavily mayo based. We also had some wine with our meal to complement the dishes. Atmosphere: I liked the atmosphere of this place. The setting can be semi classy, but also less fancy if you sit outside. My one complaint is that we did ask to be seated outside and we were told it was probably not the best idea because it was lightly raining. ( Just to point something out, they do have outdoor seating that was covered and available but they didn’t seem too delighted to fulfill our request which I see has been a complaint on other reviews as well). We did feel like we were forgotten as it took over 10 mins after being seated to be taken care of by their staff. Maybe it was just an off night, it’s a business and it happens. Once our waiter came over, he was attentive and helpful. Price: The prices for what you pay here are normal for Fort Lauderdale prices. Parking: Parking is very limited near this area. Sometimes it’s best to find little parking lots around in order to park."

"This is a lovely restaurant! The food was amazing, the vibe is peaceful and quaint and the house is just beautiful! Sasha, our server, even gave us a tour of the home and shared some cool ghost stories. We will definitely be back!! Excellent service!"
