Went because we were told the owner was Portuguese and they served a few Portuguese Entrées. Which they do. Food was very good but more Americanized than the traditional foods. Our server was very good and accommodating. Will definitely go back again

I’m from Ohio and was visiting my mom and daughter. I was so happy to find this eatery. The food was amazing, and the service was top-notch.
The first course was the free rolls and butter.
The second course was Boom Boom Shrimp. The slaw was fresh, and the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and had a good texture. We also had the spaghetti stuffed grande meatball (from the Italia restaurant on the other side). It was huge and had spaghetti inside and a rich tomato sauce on top.
The third course was our entree. I had the special. Perfectly cooked scallops over potatoes and veggies.
Lastly, we had cheesecake for dessert (one was coffee and the other mango). I was surprised how much I enjoyed the mango cheesecake!
Prices are mid-range (a tad more than a chain like Longhorn).
Service was above average. Daniel was our server, and drinks were filled up quickly, and he checked back in with us frequently enough to be attentive but not annoying.
I will definitely be back!

What a great meal! Thank you Angie for the great service. Summer specials available are very good. Asian Wontons were great. New England Clam Chowder was thick and delicious. Took a chance and ordered the French Onion Meatloaf and loved it.

If you are in the Punta Gorda downtown area definitely do not hesitate to experience this gem! The food is phenomenal and very flavorful as well as the presentation being spectacular. I went for the first time yesterday and Amanda(the waitress) provided great recommendations from appetizers to the main meal. Plus Amanda was very attentive, kind, professional, and a great personality that provided exceptional service! Do not think twice about going to River City Grill as you will not be let down.

We had christmas dinner here tonight. The food was delicious. We had the Mexican street corn deviled eggs, prime pork rib and the meatloaf. My husband also had a bourbon smash which he loved. We shared a slice of the chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Oh my, it was sinfully delicious. It was extremely busy, and they made over 600 dinners for people. Even though they were busy, the staff was in great spirits and attentive. Denise was wonderful. She made our evening even better. Thank you all for being open and serving so many people. We will definitely be back.

Scallop special with maple butter was delicious. the pasta shrimp was great too. our friend said the beef was ok. I found the atmosphere a little dark and dreary. Recommend to sit outside. Service was good. The chocolate cookie/brownie for dessert and it was yummy. Not a fine wine kind of place but good food.

Went for Christmas dinner. The restaurant is very nice, clean and comfortable. We had the boom boom shrimp for appetizer. Two of the shrimp still had the tail shell on which was an unexpected surprise…flavor was good though. I had the scallops with risotto. There is a cold citrus type sauce under the risotto which made the risotto cold. Which really ruined it for me. The risotto was mushy and cold because of the sauce. Eating a bite of scallop with the risotto made it taste better. Hubby had the fish and chips. He liked the fish, but the fries were cold and nothing special. All the reviews made us have high expectations for this meal, so our experience was disappointing.
