For transient place like south Florida it's hard to find restaurants that are authentic generally it's good views high prices sub par or horrible if not rotten food. However, Rivertail is not it's authentic the food is fresh and not bang for but a steal. Highly recommend this place our server Julie did an amazing job, we definitely are putting Rivertail as our go to.Parking: It's los olas come early and park there are 5 story multistory parking lot around the corner or better yet uber

Chef needs lesson in cooking and tasting. Very disappointing meal. Service was terrible too, I asked for a side plate and the girl emptied my dinner plate and gave it back to me. Terrible experience don't waste your $

For a place known for its seafood, the seafood at brunch was… eh. The plating for all of our dishes was beautiful. Crab donuts— order them! Oysters, order! Fish dip, good but the chips were stale. Corn bread- good. Salmon tartar— don’t waste your money. No flavor at all. Prawn & grits- okay. Grits were delicious, prawns were eh. My friends got the French toast and raved that it was the best thing they ate the entire time they were there…. Again for a seafood place, that’s a pretty sad statement. Our server was a blonde woman and I want to say she was new. She started out on a high and then disappeared on us 2/3 of the way through the meal. Good location for a book club. It’s quiet and a great area to walk around after your meal.

Server was great! Rest of the staff was fine but seemed robotic and unthrilled to be there. NPCs.My biggest gripe is the ambiance. Many reviews love the ambiance and I suppose it's a matter of opinion... But the outdoor dining area is odd. Chairs and tables wobble which is irritating. Choice of decor and hanging lights is eclectic and not in a good way. Felt like a grungy Ikea patio.Food was hit or miss. Excellent grilled Octopus. Loaded chips were good. Virginal oysters were large, meaty but almost flavorless. Peel and eat shrimp was slimy and gross. Cocktails were okay.While I expected dinner for 3 to exceed $200, I was surprised it was above $150. However, the food just wasn't worth $150.I want to be clear: dinner wasn't horrible or bad. It just didn't wow us and there was nothing remarkable about it.We walked away wishing we had gone to Tommy Bahama on Las Olas.Parking: Oodles of parking

Laurel was awesome. Food was awesome. Will be back.
Forgive me for writing this, I think this establishment has so much potential. Great location and ambiance but when visiting for brunch the chef wasn’t in thus food couldn’t be executed. The steak was an unseasoned paper thin cheap cut (over cooked) and our benedict was served without hollandaise due to the lack of basic skill in the kitchen (no picture as is was sent back) . Traditionally kimchi is fermenting but we were given cabbage in vinegar (Eggs were cooked well). The staff was extremely attentive once addressing concerns so I will definitely be back for drinks and the atmosphere not the food.
