Exceptional Experience at River Palm Terrace – Edgewater
My group of seven recently dined at River Palm in Edgewater, and the experience could not have been any better. From start to finish, everything was outstanding.
Our server, Carlos, was a true professional—attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable, and spot-on with his suggestions throughout the night.
We started with the seafood tower, which was more than enough for the table and included lobster, oysters, and jumbo shrimp. Everything tasted extremely fresh. We then ordered some sushi, which turned out to be some of the best I’ve had anywhere.
For entrées, we all ordered steak—some shared, some individual—and every cut was cooked perfectly. The quality of the meat was excellent, and there was plenty to go around. The sides were equally impressive and can be adjusted based on preference; again, Carlos gave terrific recommendations.
Dessert was a standout as well. Truly some of the best I’ve had dining out—you can’t go wrong with anything on their dessert menu.
Yes, River Palm is on the pricier side, but in this case, the experience and quality are absolutely worth it. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone—whether you’re planning a date night, a family dinner, or an evening out with friends. I’ll definitely be returning.
Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed.

I recently made a reservation to dine at this restaurant to celebrate my husband’s 46th birthday with him and our daughter. This was his first time dining here, and we were all very excited. I am a frequent guest and typically visit with my family about once a month, which made this experience particularly disappointing.
We arrived about ten minutes early on a cold Wednesday evening, and the restaurant was surprisingly crowded. Even the bar was completely full, so we were unable to enjoy a drink while waiting for our table. Once seated, we were placed at a table directly in front of the kitchen, directly in the staff’s walking lane, with servers constantly passing by carrying plates of food. Throughout the evening, our chairs were repeatedly bumped into as staff moved back and forth, which significantly detracted from the experience—especially for a special occasion.
We each ordered cocktails from the menu: a Cosmopolitan for myself, a Grey Goose martini for my husband, and a holiday sangria for our daughter. Unfortunately, my Cosmopolitan did not taste as expected. Although I felt uncomfortable sending it back on such a busy night, I did so. When it was returned, it was still overly sour and tasted mostly of lemon juice. Hoping my husband’s drink was better, I took a sip of his martini and was astonished by how unpleasant the flavor was. My daughter is a bartender, and when I shared how disappointing our drinks were, she commented—excuse the language—that “it’s hard to mess up a martini,” which made the situation even more surprising.
Despite the disappointing drinks, we had high hopes for the food. We ordered the Caesar salad, oysters and the burrata salad as appetizers. For our main course, my husband and I shared the tomahawk steak cooked medium well, with sides of mashed potatoes and cream spinach. Our daughter ordered two sushi rolls. When the steak arrived, the top layer appeared almost burnt, which was unexpected given the requested doneness. Additionally, the Caesar salad did not resemble a traditional Caesar salad in flavor or preparation. On a positive note, the burrata salad was very good, as were the mashed potatoes and the cream spinach.
Although we understood it was a busy night, our server was nothing short of lovely—honestly, she was the best part of the entire evening. Toward the end of the meal, the noise level had become overwhelming, and between the bustling atmosphere, the constant chair bumping, the disappointing drinks, and the underwhelming entrées, my husband and I left with severe headaches. When our server kindly asked if we would like dessert, we declined, as we were simply ready to go home.
To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

This is one of the best steak and sushi restaurants around. It has a fully stocked bar and they always make perfect martinis. I’ve never been disappointed. I love going there at least once a week. The interior is dimly lit, warm, and comfortable. No matter what time of day you go, you lose track of time once you step inside. Everyone who works there is friendly and very professional. Love this place.

I went to The River Palm Terrace in Edgewater, NJ, and it was amazing. The steaks were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. You can tell they use really high-quality meat, and everything came out just right. I got the filet mignon, and it was so tender it practically melted, while my friend’s ribeye had that perfect sear and rich taste. The service was excellent too, super friendly and fast, and the whole place has a nice, classy atmosphere without feeling too formal. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but every bite is worth it. If you love a great steak and want a place that gets everything right, The River Palm Terrace is the spot.

I used to go their fair lawn location because it was closer to my home. I didnt think it would be THAT much different from old fair lawn location because .. they are locations of a same brand. Fair Lawn location was decent but no spectacular.
But this original Edgewater location was spectacular in every sense. Food was amazing, service was amazing and decor was amazing as well.
The bone marrow was awesome
Most importantly, the steak i has there was by far the best steak I have had in NJ. I would say it was arguably on par with some of the best steak restaurants in NYC
NYC
I would happily visit there again.

I dined at River Palm on November 9th at 4 p.m. to celebrate my birthday. While the food and service inside were excellent, my entire experience was ruined before I even walked through the door, all because of the absolutely disgusting behavior of one of the members of the valet.
As a first-time guest, I mistakenly pulled into the wrong entrance. Instead of offering simple direction or courtesy, the valet screamed at me, berated me, and spoke to me in a demeaning, aggressive tone.
It was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely out of line. The only time he returned to a normal tone was when he wanted my keys, which made the entire interaction even more uncomfortable.
Inside staff apologized once I shared what happened, but frankly, an apology doesn’t undo the public disrespect I experienced on what was supposed to be a special celebration. What’s worse? I reached out privately after the incident, giving River Palm a chance to address it and they never bothered to respond.
I truly hope management takes this seriously and ensures no other guest is treated this way, because I can’t imagine returning after such an absolutely disgusting and unnecessary encounter.

I had such a wonderful experience at The River Palm Terrace thanks to Renata, the host. From the moment I arrived with my family, she made me feel completely taken care of. She was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly for my fathers birthday. Renata and other workers including my server went above and beyond making sure we had the best experience there. The staff was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience feel special and stress-free and the food was amazing and the shirley temple was very refreshing . It’s refreshing to visit a place where the team truly cares about their guests. I hope management knows what an incredible job they’re doing.

Happy happy birthday here. I like the waiter and people next to our table all sing happy birthday for me. Love the otora. The most generous otoro indulgence. Appreciate chef Andy makes it right for me without mayonnaise. Love the A5 Japanese wagyu.

We visited this place for my birthday, and we had such a great time! From the start, our waitress was incredibly friendly and provided amazing service. She guided us through the menu and helped us choose the best dishes. Both menus are available which is a good thing.
For appetizers, we had the French onion soup and the pumpkin soup — both were rich in flavor and absolutely delicious. We also tried the Andy Roll and the O Toro Maki. The Andy Roll was great, but the O Toro Maki was out of this world! However, if you’re not into raw fish, I’d suggest going with other options.
For our entrées, we ordered the Porterhouse for two — the meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, it’s one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. We also had the filet mignon, the veal chop, and several sides like truffle fries, mashed potatoes, and hash browns. Everything was delightful! My whole family loved the food and said it was one of the best restaurants they’ve ever been to.
For dessert, we shared the 10-layer chocolate cake, the tiramisu, and the chocolate fudge. The first two were amazing, while the fudge didn’t have as much flavor.
The check for nine people came to around $900, including tax and tip. It’s definitely a fine dining experience — perfect for special celebrations. I’d absolutely recommend it and would love to go back!
