About

Now Open! Louisville's premier riverfront dining destination, River House features regional cuisine with a Southern flair and an emphasis on fresh seafood.

Description

River House is Louisville's premier riverfront dining destination. Developed by Chef John Varanese, the opening of this new restaurant fulfills his long awaited vision 15 years in the making.

The 27,000 sq. ft. space containing River House Restaurant and Raw Bar and Levee Restaurant is located at 3015 River Road and was formerly used for boat storage.

River House gives guests the sense of a charming “house like” feeling when they arrive at the front entryway featuring an indoor waterwall. Proceed into the main dining area where a floor-to-ceiling glass wall overlooks the back courtyard and riverfront. Seating also extends onto the back courtyard overlooking the river, providing options for both upscale casual diners and the boating community.

The River House menu features regional cuisine with Southern flair and an emphasis on seafood with a raw bar. Open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.

Valet parking available nightly for $5 and self parking is available in our surfaced lot and the elevated lot to the left as you drive up the hill toward River House.

Food and service were great. The seared scallops dish is very fulfilling and seasoned. Sitting outside on a nice night is very enjoyable. Only thing that could have been better is the music at king fish, we can do without that. This is definitely a place to go for a nice dinner outing.Food: 5/5
The food was fantastic. Our server Hunter was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us fantastic recommendations. The hostess also gave us a table with a great view. Very happy that I choose River House for our anniversary dinner.Food: 5/5
Highly recommend the cornbread as a dessert when they offer it!! The scallops here are awesome too. Sat at the bar with with no reservation, received great service and had my food sent out so fast. Definitely want to come back and try more of their menu.
Fantastic, went twice during our visit to Louisville. Possibly some of the best seafood I have ever had. Scollops on one visit and the twin lobster tails on another visit, absolutely excellent. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the food. It isn't "inexpensive" but when you consider the quality, and the service the pricing is very good for the service and food your receive. Extremely well run restaurant, everyone is focused on a good customer experience, I had heard one manager discussing the importance of "eye contact" with customers. This makes for a HUGE part of the experience. We were quietly discussing my friends birthday last week, and a staff member over heard... I made sure they knew it was not today but none the less they gave him a free desert. Just over the top customer service from EVERYONE we interacted with. Highly recommend and I will make this a regular stop on future Louisville visits.
I will start by saying I made reservations for dinner. We were seated and waited 15 minutes for anyone acknowledge us with filling our water glasses. I had to stop a waiter to ask for service. There was definitely plenty of staff and a waiter catering to a table just a couple steps from our table. After finally getting a waiter to take our drink order, the manager did come out and apologize. We then waited a total of 45 mins for our order to be taken. As the table seated next to us who arrived after us had received their drinks, appetizers and meal. They had multiple servers catering to them while not once did they ask if we had been taken c That all being said, the waiter we finally got was amazing! He was taking care of several tables on the other side of the restaurant and outside. The food was delicious and the manager compensated our drinks and appetizer. I will close by saying, hopefully this was not a normal experience but definitely was not a great one for the money spent.
We're from Texas, and a local Uber driver recommended this place and we LOVED IT! This was literally some of the BEST food I've ever had!!! The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked, the scallops with grits & succotash were delightful! I had a wheated bourbon flight that was excellent, in fact one of the smoothest bourbon I've had was the Bernheim! Loved it, and the scenery on the Ohio River was beautiful too! Highly, highly recommend!
Excellent experience. We had the pork belly burnt ends and the seafood pasta. Both were absolutely wonderful. Also if you like hot sauce chef John has a homemade "Hot As F**k" sauce which was amazing. My guess was a mix of Habanero and Carolina Reaper peppers which he grows fresh on site. Our bartender Kevin was very charming and quite funny. Plenty of outside bars mixed with a wonderful view of the Ohio river and masterful fresh food equates to Louisville's finest culinary experience. Highly recommend. I'd give 6 stars if I could.
We had an amazing dinner here. No reservation came in a little bit late but they were able to see this at the bar. Food is incredible bartender had a great personality and it was fun.Food: 5/5
This is a fantastic place to get a meal. The menu was awesome- lots of interesting options and variety in the menu. The drink selections are awesome and the presentation of everything is great. Service was excellent and food is absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend 100%Food: 5/5
Our bartender was Jesse and he totally made the experience! A funny realistic relatable guy. 5 stars Jesse. We tried this place on a whim during lunch. Atmosphere is sexy and classy. Appetizers are very well selected, seasoned, and served. We tried to order everything it was that good. Thumbs up on the fish and chips, ceviche, Cajun pasta, rockerfella, and brisket sliders. Four drinks and a four course dinner ran us about $135 for 2 people. I would return! Oh and this place sits on the river. *melting
