I went for Christmas dinner and ordered my selection from the holiday menu. It was cooked perfectly and was full of flavor. My party had outside dining at sunset. The tables were a little tighter than I would have preferred but not to the extent of discomfort. You will hear the cars going over the bridge. It sounded like a hot air balloon was lifting off. It wasn't overly annoying once I realized where the sound was coming from the bridge. Service was good. Our server wasn't outstanding or overly warm but pleasant enough and not rude. We ordered the espresso martini and it wasn't bad, but a little overpriced for the quality. In conclusion I think this place has a nice ambiance and has a great menu selection. I almost gave 5 stars because my entree was excellent and think my review reflects a true experience under the conditions of my dining experience and personal observations. It's also in a nice area. I will definitely dine here again. read more

Had an underwhelming experience at the Grille Riverview for Christmas Dinner. We called a few days ahead to make a reservation for a party of 9 and were given a 7pm time. We pulled up, and they had a valet service that was quick and efficient. Once we walked in, we were promptly seated, but that's where the good service disappeared. Our server looked exhausted, and he informed us more than once that they had served over 800 tables today, and he had been there since before 9am. We also found out that 7pm was the last seating. You could tell he was over it, and we were not getting his best. No fault to him...I would be exhausted serving for that amount of time as well. One of the kids in the group has some severe allergies. We informed our server of the allergies, and he said, 'I'm not sure what you want me to do with that'. We assumed he would go to the kitchen and inform the chef, but the kid's meal came out with something we specifically told him the child could not have. You could tell all the staff were ready to go. While we were eating, another staff member walked around asking us if we wanted any tea before he threw it out. Many of us ordered from the special Christmas menu. It was a meal that included bread, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert for around $51. The bread was advertised as coming with pesto, but we only received butter. I ordered the smoked Gouda and pepper chowder. That was probably the best thing on the menu for me. It was flavorful and warm. While we were still enjoying our appetizers, like I had taken 2-3 spoonfuls, our entrees came out. We felt so rushed and unable to truly enjoy the food or each other. The majority of the party ordered the salmon or the strip loin. I ordered the strip loin, and it lacked flavor and was also room temperature. I was hesitant to say anything, as the staff's mood was to eat up and get out. I just packed it up to heat and doctor later. Those who ordered the salmon said it was good. The majority of us packed up our desserts as well to not hold the staff any longer. We were back in the car and pulling away by 9pm. I'm thankful for them being open on Christmas, sacrificing time with their family and friends and relaxing, to serve. But on an almost $600 bill with an automatic $90 gratuity, service and food should have been better. read more

I came here Saturday night for drinks and to watch the sunset. The restaurant is on the water and has such a nice view when the sun is going down. We got to see some dolphins playing too. There was live music. The woman singing had such a beautiful voice. I got a moscato and a brownie for dessert. The menu looked good but I wasn't that hungry and wanted something sweet. The bartenders were really nice and friendly. I had a nice time. read more

Just had the worst double birthday celebration here tonight. The best comment I can make is it was the worst experience my family and I have ever had at a restaurant. The food was marginal at best and the service was non existent. No one could have cared about our experience here. If you want to celebrate a family event, you would be better off getting take out at McDonalds. At one time this place was good but now it really sucks. Worst thing is, nobody there cares. Bill S. Go somewhere else for any celebration. read more

We had our office Christmas party here. They offered a fish option, a chicken option, and a vegetarian pasta option. We had bruschetta and egg rolls for appetizers. The food was tasty. Not amazing, but good. The dinner salad was very fresh and full of a variety of veggies. The view on the water was nice, and we saw a few dolphins as we were enjoying dinner. My drink at happy hour was $12.00. They charged automatic 20% gratuity for our large group. I enjoyed our party, but I don't know if I would come here on my own. read more

Long wait to finally get our food. Orders came out lukewarm at best. Complaint to night manager was useless. He could have cared less. The river view was nice, but have no plans to return to eat there. read more

Well it was Mother's Day and I talked my family into going here instead of our usual place but it was not a great experience. It had recently rained so the fabulous view was not because of the plastic curtains up which was no fault of the restaurant of course. Our waiter was OK at best I had to ask for bread for my grandson twice as kids are starving when waiting of course only to find out after asking twice in a 10 minute time span that it was not ready because of roasts taking a long time to cook but we finally got some. The food did eventually show up and was fresh but not very flavorful unfortunately but we were not hungry after portions were decent. The prime rib was excessively fatty but decent. Then dessert was accidentally dropped so took a very long time and the manager brought it to us when we did get it and no apology or anything lol. My grandson's brownie with ice cream was so hard around the edges like a brick so that didn't go too well either. Needless to say we will not be going back and I'm feeling guilty about encouraging trying the new place. read more

Excellent food & menu with very fun live entertainment! Best spot for our birthdays & special events! read more

Great food and atmosphere. I had Ahi tuna and it was delish. We enjoyed watching the boats and drawbridge.

Valentine's Day dinner! This is a hard day to find reservations for dinner! Luckily when I called on Monday they had two left. 4 and 7:30! We took 7:30 for 4. We enjoyed the upscale decor of the restaurant and the excellent service. The wives both enjoyed the chicken Marsala with risotto. I had the Mahi scampi with shrimp on a bed of rice. The remaining member of our party had a nicely done filet minion! The evening was great and we all enjoyed our selves! The only problem was the lack of parking which is common at many of the restaurants in New Smyrna Beach!! read more

Love this place and cannot imagine why so few stars! We had a reservation for three but we were early as two. They seated us right away with Nicole. She brought us drink menus and asked if we'd like to order drinks while we waited. We advised that we'd wait. She didn't push although suggested that our etiquette was still appropriate if we were to order a drink. Food excellent. Orders were as we requested. Served at appropriate times. Food hot and yummy. Ambience is excellent. We sat outside alongside the water; watching the boats and drawbridge! Inside looks nice too. Special shout out to Nicole who was on top of our orders; getting them all correct and checking in to see if we needed anything else. read more

Michael our server is a gentlemen rockstar. Food was good. The jalepeno margaritas were awesome. I had the Cuban. My wife has a Caesar with shrimp. Our friends had the goat cheese salad and big pork chop. All was very good. read more

We (there were 4 of us) were looking for a place to eat on Valentine's day and had no reservations anywhere. We picked one place and it was a 3hr wait. So we continued to drive and found The Grille. We took a chance and it paid off. They could seat us on the pier/dock or in smoking section. Of course we picked the dock. It was a bit cold so we moved to the smoking section. This turned out to be awesome for two reasons. First, there were no smokers. Second, we got a fantastic waitress, Julia. She helped us pick our appetizers and entrees. We started with a shrimp cocktail, tuna, and mussels. Everything was very fresh and great tasting. Next, we got the line caught grouper and the filet and Shrimp. Again, everything was really fresh and the servings were quite big. Julia was on the ball. Always there to fill drinks, or anything else that we needed. Idk why the reviews were iffy. This place rocks. The food was really good. The service was awesome. The view on the water was really nice. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Perfect for Valentine's day for sure. The prices are high but you get what you pay for, so be prepared. I recommend highly. read more

We had the best time at Riverview last night. We watched the sunset, it was magical. This restaurant is known for seafood and beef. Three of us had prime rib, the other had crab legs. All delish. Mike was our waiter, very attentive and helpful. We watched boats come and go while we enjoyed tasty beverages. We will be back!! read more

Grille Riverview - Sunset at Riverview!! - Seafood Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

I really like The Grille at Riverview. The views from the outdoor dining area of the Indian River waterways are stunning and the boat traffic is a lovely sight to see. But best of all, the professional service and food. When I read the menu, I couldn't at first believe my eyes. They have a Beef on Weck which they add as their version of the upstate New York "Beef on Weck." It's served on a salted pretzel bun with slow-roasted prime rib, topped with creamy horseradish sauce, or raw horseradish. I ordered one for lunch and though the salted pretzel bun was not as good as the Kummelweck bun used on the real Beef on Weck served in Buffalo, New York, it was still delicious. Then for dinner, I tried their Prim Rib which they selected by identifying three primary characteristics- marbling, maturity, and muscle texture to ensure that the highest level of tenderness, juiciness, and flavor is attained. Mine came with gouda bacon mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, au jus, and a creamy horseradish sauce. It all made for a perfect delicious dinner. Four plus Yelp Stars. read more

Let me start with the positives. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very aesthetic feel. It's waterfront and the view is wonderful to enjoy over brunch. The reason I gave it two stars is because an ingredient that I'm allergic to was added to the item I ordered, even though it wasn't listed on the menu item. I am so thankful I looked before I took a bite, because that's extremely negligent. If something is added to an item on the menu and not listed, the person ordering should be made aware. Not only was this ingredient added, but no resolution was made other than packing the remade meal to go. While the rest of my party ate their brunch, I had to bring mine home. The mimosas were wonderful, I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, but I can't give beyond two stars if the service isn't accommodating and thinking of the customer's experience and dietary restrictions. read more

We dined around 6:00pm on a Wednesday evening. Very busy... Reservations are a must Beautiful table by the water and we were able to catch a gorgeous sunset. Food is good. The trout was delicious without the sauce. Veggie rice and pea pods. Our favorite end to the evening was by far the raspberry keylime pie, which is perfect for four people. The parking is a bit tricky. We got lucky on the street. We were told by staff that you can park in the back under the hotel river view signs. This is a large restaurant with an upper deck and inside dining room. read more

I honestly don't know how this place stays open. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were inconveniencing the staff just by existing. We stood at the host stand for several minutes before anyone even acknowledged us, and when they finally did, it was with an eye roll and a sigh. We arrived at 5:50 and after waiting at the host stand forever we were finally seated in a 1/2 empty restaurant. We were told by our waitress that at 6:01(her statement) we couldn't get any of the Happy hour drink deals. She made sure to emphasis number 1 in relating the time in a very snippy and condescending tone. That setting the tone for the night. The food?-mediocre at best. Their motto seemed to be that quantity takes the place for quality and taste. Service throughout the meal was painfully slow, yet somehow still inattentive. Drinks went unrefilled, and no one checked on us until it was time to drop the bill. Speaking of which, the prices were shockingly high for the quality we received. Overall, a frustrating and disappointing experience. There are far too many better options out there to waste your time or money here. read more

This place has everything! Home run.......and very seldom do I feel this good after a meal! Prices were very reasonable and appropriate for the experience. Best calmamari. Tender and crispy at the same time. My drink was served in the right sized class and perfect. Osso bucco melt in your mouth good and brought half home for the next day. No one at the table left a dirty plate......chicken Marsala, Shrimp Scampi and cod....ALL GONE. Great view of the river AND entertainment. Riverview checked every box and for me thats rare......Service was outstanding. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY??? 15 OUT OF 10 STARS. read more

Pretty good food, good service, great deserts and fantastic view. We went on a quick beach trip and enjoyed the dinner. I had the blacked Mahi-Mahi, my son had the filet, and my wife had the beat and goat cheese salad and the Ahi Tuna. We tried three deserts and all were fantastic!! read more

Grille Riverview - Great view! - Seafood Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Filthy...I used to view this restaurant as decent a few years ago. However, my latest experience here was poor. This restaurant is nothing sort of disgusting we spotted multiple roaches and general filth . My husband noticed one near our table and I discovered another at the hallways bathroom. My heels stuck to the floor. It was that sticky. The view was also obstructed by this raggedy tarp. Not to mention the whole restaurant smells like cigarette smoke. To our horror,when he googled the restaurant an inspection popped up. I wish we could have had a better experience here. read more

Wow! What an unexpected surprise ! The Grille is offering /participating in Volusia County Coastal Dinning for the month of October! Similar to Magical dinning for those who enjoy getting out and trying new places and new dishes from local restaurants! The only difference here is the portions were full size not sampler sizes! My wife had the Salmon entree, got to choose an appetizer/bang bang shrimp and a full size dessert of choice all for $39! Amazing value and excellently prepared! I had a chicken penne pasta with a calamari app and awesome raspberry keylime pie! A great value / amazing sunset and live entertainment!

My sister recommended this restaurant as she and her husband have tried it before. The atmosphere is elegant and is located with a River view and we saw dolphins while we ate inside.

The restaurant has a great view of the inlet, nice location. We went on a Friday for lunch, after being on the beach for few hours. Had the blue cheese and walnut salad, added grill chicken (it's a huge salad, enough to share), my husband had the avocado, turkey croissant, nice portion. Service was great, just a bit expensive, for what we got. We had the calamari, yuck!, we had it sauté. Don't get it sauté!!, I am pretty sure the taste changes if it's fried. We saw few dolphins playing on the water. read more

Came here for brunch and sat at the outside bar along the dock. The view was beautiful and they had nice large fans going to keep it cool. Our bartender was great and fun - he was super friendly and seemed to truly enjoy hanging out with the patrons. I tried the build your own Bloody Mary bar, which had all sorts of great toppings to choose from, and their espresso martini. I enjoyed both! For brunch, we tried the breakfast burrito, which was tasty and could easily be shared by two. We also had their quiche of the day, which was raved about. We have had a house just down the street from here for 4 years now, I am not sure why we hadn't tried this place yet, but we are excited to come back! read more

I am writing a review about the hostess at the Grille at Riverview on December 13, 2025, for brunch at 11:30. After reserving a table for 6 after my brother's funeral, we were appalled at the behavior of this worker. Upon entering and giving our name, She did not even look up at us, she just said she was too busy and having a "crisis" of some kind, and told us to head to the dining room on the patio. We wandered in and nobody helped us, it was not even crowded at all. It was the first time some in my family had ever even been there and I had recommended it, living part time in NSB. We found a seat that could fit all of us. What a joke, I could not believe it. I have loved the food there and always had a good experience. There are plenty of other nice places that treat patrons with much more respect. read more

We went there for a birthday and engagement the server was very friendly and helpful with my surprise ! I had the prime rib streak flatbread and my fiancé had the tuna poke bowl.

The servicer brought her a chocolate cheese cake for her birthday it was delicious. Over the food was good and service was great. She said yes. read more

The service was five star. Ambience a five star and the food was this time, I got the beef wreck sandwich and it was dry and tasteless unlike my past three visits which had always been very tasty. We also encounter a bizarre story from the exec chef that goats are prominent in Greece and therefore the Greek salad my friend ordered had goat cheese on the Greek salad and was a normal goto. Well being that I'm a retired airline employee and have been all over Europe repeated times I can assure you that's just fake news. The salad looked good but was definitely more an antipasto than a Greek salad. Our service was just the bomb! And in the best of ways. Nichole made sure we were well taken care of and more the attentive and definitely apologetic about the strangeness of the goat cheese Greek scenario. I'll come back but maybe add spices to your sandwich and tweak the salad name so people in the know don't have false expectations of receiving a real Greek salad. We also had the opportunity to try your Keylime pie/and a crème brûlée. Both were delightful thank you. read more

Grille Riverview - Bread and oil -- delicious - Seafood Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

while the ambiance was very nice, the food was a major disappointment. I ordered the grilled salmon and it was bone dry, with what looked like fake grill marks...as though it was bought frozen and reheated. I took two bites and left it. My husband ordered the fish and chips and the fries tasted like cardboard. read more

The only disappointment of the night was the cloud that came in to obscure the sunset although we still got some pretty hues. Food and service was exceptional. I had prime rib and my wife had Oscar style Grouper, neither disappointed. We had a very friendly server who had the right amount of attention and respect for privacy. And the sunset disappointment was offset by watching the dolphins having fun. read more

Lunch on the river was great. Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was delicious. The wedge salad was fresh and the blackened shrimp were tasty and "not" bland at all. The Creme Brulee was perfect.

Reserved a place for two outside on Monday. Couldn't make it so we changed the reservation for Tuesday. When we arrived no outside seating available due to an event.

I brought my wife to New Smyrna Beach for her birthday and we stayed in town for a few days. During our stay, we sampled a bunch of other local restaurants. This was our favorite place. When we entered, we were greeted with smiles and assigned a waitress who brought us to our table. This was our favorite due to service, view, and attention to details. Hands down, 5 star if i was rating those items. However, the food was good but lacked "love" or flavor. The nice lady took our drink order and came back with bread and butter. I mentioned to the waitress that we came up for a few days to celebrate my wife's birthday. She wished her a happy birthday and was very pleasant. We ordered the margarita flatbread for a starter. It was nice and crisp. It had all the ingredients except for the fresh chopped basil that I would have expected for fine dining and presentation. We wanted a lighter fare for dinner so my wife got the fish tacos and I got the French dip sandwich. It came with three tacos and rice . The presentation was beautiful. My wife let me eat one of her tacos and it was a bit dry. The fish was over cooked and a bit dry. The rice was a bit undercooked. Overall, it was a healthy portion and the price was very reasonable. The French dip looked good. It came with a generous portion of fries and au jus. This was a disappointment to me. It had the meat and bread. I chose not to get the cheese because I prefer it without cheese. The roll tasted like a pretzel roll without the salt. The au jus was missing a bit of salt and fat. It tasted like low sodium beef broth that you buy from the store and was heated up. They did give my wife a key lime pie for her birthday. That was so nice of them. The pie was really yummy and exceeded my expectations due to the other dishes that i tried. It was executed very well. The owner or restaurant manager was super nice as well. She checked in with us to see how we were doing. I would recommend this place and also would visit again, but order other items. The overall dining experience was amazing due to service and view. read more
