The House on the River is my “go to” for Sunday brunch prior to a show at Broward Performing Arts. This was my second visit and I am already looking forward to returning with my granddaughter in December! The food and drinks are delicious. The ambiance—both inside and outside seating—is stellar. Our waiter—“Sam”—was thoughtful and made sure we got to our show on time. A wonderful spot on the river that has old school charm with classic brunch fare beautifully prepared.

Everything exceeded our expectations! Very lively, convivial vibe! Reminiscent of a taverna in Santorini. Very attentive, friendly staff from the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host. Server was excellent and knowledgeable and both the manager and the owner introduced themselves and checked on our service and food. We will definitely add this to our regular rotation.
