Rivertail Fort Lauderdale Reviews from The Last Year
Strange food taste
We have eaten here before and were not as impressed as in the past. The Seafood Pasta had an usual taste to it. Couldn't identify what it was. The wine selection is OK. Service is very good. Great place to people watch and see the yachts and boats go by.
We went on a Saturday afternoon.
Had 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 3 cocktails and it was very affordable. The portions were perfect, the food came out pretty quick. The salmon tartare was different than others I've tried before. The crab donuts are a very particular mix of flavors that your mouth will love. Service was quick, the place was empty when we went, but it worked out to our favor.
Jay at the outdoor bar is the best!! The food is good and
Jay at the outdoor bar is the best!! The food is good and has a different flair. One of our favorite spots!
I love the vibe and ambiance of Rivertail, it's a fun
I love the vibe and ambiance of Rivertail, it's a fun atmosphere and great location right on the Riverwalk! The nachos and crab donuts are great, as well as the drinks. I think they need some more menu options though. The happy hour is awesome and has $1 oysters!
Great happy hour and Francesca is the best- nice ambiance
Great happy hour and Francesca is the best- nice ambiance and great location! Make a point of stopping by.
Randy, our server, was friendly and attentive.
Two great skills in my book. The crusted trout entree in a creamy garlic sauce was delicious as was my entree - fried red snapper sandwich with house made fries. Ingredients are fresh and delicious. Do not miss the house made cornbread which was YUMMY! We sat right on the riverwalk for our 6 PM meal. Excellent date night.
really nothing to write home about, below-average food.
Pretty bland, no taste, lukewarm.
Great location and food
Lunch with friends and family. Very well done burgers, the buns are REAL bread rather than the typical drivel in most places. Outstanding chicken waffle. Very good avocado toast. We topped it off with espresso coffee 😎
You can't beat $1 on las olas and the river, however, it is
You can't beat $1 on las olas and the river, however, it is only at the bar and the bar is 8 seats. If you get one of said seats, it is delightful. However, the servers are unable to modify any of the happy hours drinks in anyway. A regular old fashion could not be substituted for the banana old fashion on happy hour. While we are sympathetic with chef's not wanting to change ingredients of a dish, not everyone likes Bananas and whisky together! I have always enjoy the food and my time here. It is also walking distance to everything and is on the river walk.
Food not good
A disappointment. We were excited to have excellent seafood and fish and the kitchen just didn't deliver. The oysters were good, but the trout was a low quality serving. The salmon tartar is served with a mayonnaise dressing that was unappetizing. The fish tacos were so-so. My cocktail was over-sweet. The dessert was a great idea - a banana bread pudding with sauce and ice cream, but each was very low-quality. Try another restaurant for good food.

Went for happy hour -- Jay the bartender was amazing, and the food was fantastic (especially for happy hour prices too!). I will for sure be back to Rivertail next time I'm in South Florida.
Laurel was fantastic! Perfect cocktails and got our order
Laurel was fantastic! Perfect cocktails and got our order quickly do we made it to the Broward show on time!
The food here was very good.
Our server was very nice. Honestly I think it's a little expensive for the environment and food. While it was good service and good food, I don't think the prices reflected the place. Most places around here are the same, so overall I was very pleased! They were able to accommodate a reservation of 30 which was so great. Would reccomend.
Not worth the price and low quality.
Great view, cornbread was good and that’s about it. Posted menu prices are not accurate, food wasn’t fresh, served cold and just not appetizing. I do have to say that service was excellent but that’s it.
Terrible service for an empty restaurant
The absolute worse service for an empty restaurant. We had reservations at 6:15 but was notified that our table was ready at 5:51 pm and since we were at The Wharf we went in. We were seated at 5:55pm. The waiter gave us water and was asking for our drink order within minutes. We asked about the Fish of the day and ordered our appetizers, which arrived at our table within 10 minutes. We enjoyed the appetizers then our waiter cleared the dishes. He had not taken our main course order yet and did not show back up to our table after clearing the appetizer plates. 25 minutes later at 6:59 we left our table and went to the hostess station to let her know we were leaving and needed to pay for our appetizers and Lo and behold there was our waiter chatting with the hostess. The restaurant was mostly empty so there is no excuse! I have added the pictures I took to reflect all the tables near us. With service like this- no wonder they are empty!
Birthday Celebration
Celebrated my birthday with friends. I made by reservations through open table and had to make 2 separate bookings for a party of 11. Since restaurants don't always confirm open table bookings, I was concerned and tried calling the restaurant over a week and only getting voice mail. No one ever called back. Unprofessional. Not until 2 hours before did anyone reach out. At least they seated us early without the full party being there. The brunch menu was okay. Wish they had opened up the lunch/dinner menu for more options. The fish dip, seafood nachos, and mahi sandwich was excellent. Overall had a great time with my friends and our waitress, Laurel, was superb. Very friendly, patient, and accommodating. Manager Stacy also stopped by to check on us and have general conversation. Will definitely return for the dinner menu.
Outstanding
Outstanding on our two visits brunch on Sunday then dinner on Thursday this past week the hostess and staff went above and beyond .. food was outstanding.. my wife had stone crabs that were fresh and delicious.. look forward to our next visit
Great service with Jena!
Great service with Jena!! Food was great and would definitely be back. Definitely a vibe and a great dinner for our Anniversary celebration!!
Great Food and Service
We were really happy with the food, service and ambience of this restaurant. We were greeted by super friendly staff and quickly got a table. The chicken wings and crab donuts were amazing. Main courses were all very delicious and full of flavour. Only negative was two of the dishes we wanted were unavailable. Great service throughout.
Great Dinner at the Tail end of my Vacation
After reading the mixed reviews on Rivertail, I was concerned if I made the right choice making a reservation here. I am glad we didn’t have the same experience as those who gave this restaurant low ratings. We had a great dining experience. The food we ordered were all great! Tonya was assigned to our table and she was phenomenal! Jim, the manager, came over to our table multiple times to check how things were and at the same time showed us his comedic side which we enjoyed. It was an excellent experience overall and deserving a 4 star!
