Just left River Palm. Ordered the T-Bone Steak for one medium rare. The server dropped the plate in front of me. Cut into the steak and it was medium well done. Totally dry and not close to medium rare. Took one small bite and the steak was inedible. We sat for more than 10 minutes before anyone checked in on us. Finally our waitress came over and after I told her the steak wasn't close to medium rare she took a look and took the steak back. Then the manager came over and jokingly offered us another steak. I told him no thanks and he turned his back and walked away. I didn't have dinner. Just half a salad, some creamed spinach and bread. Check came, didn't get charged for the steak but did get charged for everything else. Over $100 bill for a diet coke, a crab cake and a salad. An I wrote on the check WORST MEAL EVER. And you know what - a friend had exactly the same experience a few days earlier. The River Palm fallen off a cliff. Stay away. read more

Our waitress was really attentive and kind. We sat upstairs near a window which helped our kid see her book she brought while waiting for our food. Otherwise, it really is dark inside. The food was amazing and I especially loved their stuffed hash browns (not on the menu but you can ask for it). It's hard to get hash browns just right. They're either burnt or super soggy and greasy. Theirs was just right. I'd go back just for this side dish, lol. We got the Caesar salad, calamari, jumbo onion rings--all standard, nothing particularly outstanding. Got the prime dry aged bone-in ribeye which was mostly fat but the actual meat piece was good. Mine was more rare than requested and my husband's steak was overcooked. This makes me think *when* we come back, the temperature of our steaks will be inconsistent. My husband also ordered some roll and he really enjoyed that. He was surprised, especially given at a steak restaurant. We will definitely be back! read more

Went to the River Palm Terrace (RPT) for my girlfriend's birthday. I've saw so many good things on social media that I just had to book the reservation in advance to make her day special. We started with two espresso martini's with Bailey's and those drinks were smooth and strong. Then we split the shell steak, vodka chicken parm and onion rings. I loved it all the onion rings could've been a bit crispier but everything was delicious and our server was awesome. She made our first time at RPR memorable. For dessert we finished singing happy birthday and the banana pudding, which was out of this world. I also ordered a cappuccino which really hit the spot. I regret not getting one more dessert. read more

Celebrated my 75 Birthday last night at the restaurant. The restaurant was extremely busy. The service was impeccable and as usual the food was amazing. A thank you to Steve the manager of the restaurant. He greets everyone and makes you feel at home with all his graciousness.Walks around the whole evening making sure no problems. I highly recommend the River Palm for any meal or special occasion read more

The food was great, the waitress was definitely excellent a 5 out of 5. I would have gave it a 5 star but the the light was so low in the dining room area I had to use my flash light on my phone to look at the menu. read more

The staff was great! And I thought the food was delicious too. They were very accommodating of the fact that we had two kids with us for our anniversary dinner. They do have valet parking available. If you do go, the carrot cake was absolutely phenomenal and probably one of the best carrot cakes I've had. read more

We attended a private party this past Saturday and it was one of the best experiences. It was held in private room upstairs which was nice to have intimate feeling. The staff was excellent! They made sure everyone one had a drink, offering juices as well, water glasses were kept full, dishes cleared appropriately too. And the food was just outstanding! The tomato with mozzarella was so fresh. Ceasar salad had home made croutons and plenty of cheese. I had filet mignon medium well, cooked perfectly. Hubby had a rib eye which was also cooked perfectly. Creamed spinach on the side along with mashed potatoes and string beans. My daughter loved the mashed potatoes. Oh and I forgot the appetizer that my son in law is still craving, the meatball sliced up. Yum! For dessert I tried Gelato for the first time and I have to say it was FABULOUS! read more

Our experience when we visited after vday was so good that we came back but it was a disappointing experience this time. Everyone was nice like before but the sushi was not good. We reordered the Edgewater Maki like we had last time but it was burnt on a lot of parts and inedible. We had to send it back and we were not sure if we could order another or not. I had to ask because they just left us there with no order put in. The next sushi we got was the Crispy Rice and it was made a lot better and flavorful. When we received the bill the first sushi was charged and I had to remind them that we had an issue. Crab cakes were delicious though! read more

For my daughter's birthday, she has been asking to visit the River Palms. So, I made a Sunday evening reservation and without any trouble at the busy valet stand, we were inside. The place is dark... like funeral dark. After my eyes adjusted a bit, I ordered the beefsteak tomato and mozzarella, the shrimp francese, a petit filet for my daughter and a cheeseburger for my wife. The tomato and mozz was delicious, though I think it could have benefited from a shot of balsamic. My daughter finished her fist-sized filet and all the mashed potatos a side order provided. She said it was delicious and I will take her at her word. My shrimp dish was great, and my wife said it was the best cheeseburger she's had in a very long time. With 2 drinks and a dessert to share, the bill was a very reasonable $225. A nice place for a special occasion! read more

River Palm Terrace is truly a gem! From the beautiful atmosphere and excellent service to the incredible food, everything about our experience was outstanding. But I have to give extra praise to the sushi! The sushi was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, beautifully presented, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. Every bite was delicious! Their selection of specialty rolls, sashimi, and premium sushi makes this a must-visit even if you're not coming specifically for the steakhouse experience. The , specialty rolls were especially impressive. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. You can really taste the quality and freshness. The staff was professional, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Whether you're going for a special occasion, a great dinner, or simply craving exceptional sushi, River Palm Terrace is definitely worth visiting. read more

My family and I have been fans of River Palm since they first opened. We always find an excuse to dine here and consistently have a wonderful experience. I recently visited again after not having been there for a few years, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Despite it being an early Monday evening, the restaurant was busy and every table was filled, which speaks to its continued popularity. The service was excellent, the drinks were well made, and the food was outstanding. The Andy Roll was fresh and flavorful, the steak was perfectly tender, and the fried onions made for a delicious side dish. River Palm has certainly maintained its high standards and reputation over the years. Looking forward to returning again soon! read more

finally got to try out river palm terrace & I think it lived up to its hype for the most part! we had to try the sushi as it's so highly recommended in the reviews. in my opinion, the fish was ver fresh and tasty, but the rolls itself were sort of mushy and could fall apart. i'd go back and try another roll just to see if the texture is a consistent thing or if they were just off the night we ate there. the steak we got was perfectly crispy & still juicy on the inside. chicken parm was nicely cooked and came with a side of pasta that was perfectly al dente. our fries were nothing to rave about but they came on a nice big plate, definitely worth sharing. our server kept reminding us to leave room for dessert, and i'm glad we did! we got the chocolate cake for 2 which was HUGE and delicious, and the graham slam gelato which was honestly my highlight of the night. not sure if this is the norm there, but the restaurant was significantly packed on a sunday evening. our server kept disappearing to handle other tables which is totally fine, but we were kept waiting for long periods of time when we needed them. however whenever they came around, their service was top notch and very friendly. it's just really busy in there. read more

Cozy, old school steakhouse in Edgewater! Love this place, 5/5. The vibe is warm, energetic, and inviting. We got a nice booth in the main dining room and, one of the servers, Anthony, was already waiting there to greet us. We had a bunch of menu questions and Anthony was helpful and responsive. The service throughout the evening was excellent. The food was amazing, each dish was better than the last. For my drink, I got a maple bacon Manhattan, it was delicious and had actual bacon in the beverage which was a nice touch. We got the colossal crab meat cocktail as a starter. Then from the daily menu, we got the Ribeye for two and acorn squash. For dessert, the chocolate banana cream pie. Everything was so so good! Highly recommend this spot for special nights, I will definitely be back! read more

We love the steak here! It's on our top 5 list, including steakhouses in the city. We had the porterhouse, cooked medium, creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. Also got the shallot butter and au poivre sauce on the side. Loved the au poivre. I also love the flaky salt that they offer you to add as you please on your steak. The creamed spinach I would not order again, but everything else was perfect. I think adding some fontina or parm cheese to the creamed spinach would give the side dish exactly what it needs to make it great. Service was pretty good. We did have to look around for our waitress for about 15 minutes before being able to order, but otherwise she was pretty on top of it. In the past, we didn't have to wait for a server, they were constantly checking if we needed anything. Ambience: old-school steakhouse/good place to eat lunch or dinner with your family. Lots of families celebrating birthdays, couples having dinner, or friend groups meeting up- all ages. They offered three seating rooms. One upstairs, which is quieter. And two dining options, downstairs, one in the bar, and similar dining to upstairs on the main floor, but louder than the upstairs room. Definitely will return. Don't hesitate, book River Palm! And yes, you normally need a reservation read more

It may be hard to believe, but this was my first dining experience at the River Palm Terrace. I've heard so many great things from friends and relatives. My friend and I went during lunch time. There is valet parking available for lunch and dinner hours. I was impressed with the extensive menu including specials. I ordered the 8oz. filet mignon. This came with an onion ring, baked potatoes, and string beans. My meal was cooked to my liking. I also enjoyed the variety of sauces. We additionally ordered the tuna, grilled octopus, and spicy Hugo spritzes. Lastly, the coconut cake was a summer special dessert. It was delicious! The cake paired with a cappuccino was a perfect way to end our lunch. Friendly staff and excellent service. read more

We had a great dinner at The River Palm Terrace. The sushi was unbelieve and my favorite part (Alpine Maki), one of the best rolls I've ever had. Our others apps were delicious too (French Onion Soup and Thick Cut Bacon). The two steaks were good, my husband's was better than my Filet, I wish it had more flavor. He liked the bone-in rib-eye. Our drinks were great and the creme brulee was fantastic. Our server was short with us at fist but then she opened up and was really nice towards the end. We will be back to try other things! read more

I have always wanted to try this place. I used to have to go to the Englewood hospital every week for 6 months and I passed this place every time. I would say to my husband, "we should go there!". Well, I finally went this past Christmas Eve for dinner with my family. It was a madhouse! So packed! (Good for them!) We had a 7pm reservation and when we arrived there were at least 5 other parties standing around the host stand waiting to be seated. We were seated about 10min after 7, which is fine, especially when it's so crowded. We were given a nice booth. Our server was a very friendly young woman who seemed to be running at 100mph! I am always amazed at those kind of servers. Now for the disappointing part, the food. I had heard good things from friends, so I didn't think I'd have to worry about the food. Our steak was a bit over cooked and pretty tough. We asked for the most melt-in-your-mouth cut of steak they have and this was what she recommended. We ordered it medium rare and there were only a few dark pink pieces. And it was seared a little too much on top. The sushi was also a miss. I guess I should have expected that at a steak place, but again, people recommended it. The sushi was just very American. I thought it was going to be high quality fish and cut well. It was like any fast-food sushi place in the us. The cocktails were good and strong though! read more

Absolutely fabulous experience, from the food to the service, and the drinks. This is an all around top notch dining experience and I highly recommend it. Steaks are cooked perfectly, large seafood selection as well and some of the most beautiful looking sushi I saw going past my table. French onion soup truly one of the best, not salty at all, just delicious. What's so great about this restaurant they have a price point for everyone. Dinner menu is priced like any other high end steakhouse but their lunch menu is incredibly priced. Desserts are made in house, they have their own baker... highly recommend chocolate banana cream pie... outstanding. read more

Met my son here tonight. This place brings you back in time . Warm and inviting with celebrity pics all over . Started with Rockefeller oysters wow so fresh and juicy. Eggplant rollentini was great nice and crispy with nice filling . I ordered the rib eye. Came with mash potatoes and snap peas. It was lunch so it wasn't a thick piece. It was nice and charred but it was very thin. Was very enjoyable. Wife has a fish sandwich. Crispy outside and tender inside. Open steak sandwich was amazing. Fillet mignon laid over bread We had to try their homemade chocolate banana cream pie . Omg it was really amazing. Creamy and stacked . Eddie was our waiter he was really great. Knowledgeable and helped us through the menu. Place is very dark and loud but that's the charm of it. Valet parking makes it easy. Definitely will come back for dinner. Lunch pretty reasonable read more

They discriminate if you are a woman starting at valet. And not only if you're a woman by the car you drive as well. Came for first dinner seating where both parking lot and restaurant are EMPTY for 3 hours. Pointed out where my family cars were and somehow my car still ended up getting parked OFF property and had to wait an additional 20 minutes for my car AFTER my family got theirs and left. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Sickening Food isn't even that good here since Covid. Not sure what changed but my last several visits were completely unpleasant. The quality of the steak has dropped tremendously. Fatty, chewy, tough and couple times where meat did not smell right. I was celebrating a few birthdays tonight and my entire experience got destroyed by how valet treated me from the second I pulled in... an expensive luxury car mind you. Not some cheap Japanese or American POS. If I could avoid this place I would but only reason I continue to come back is because I get invited to another celebratory event for someone and each visit and experience is the worse than the one before. I truly and genuinely do not see the hype here anymore. Once upon a time this placed was extremely legit. Not anymore. So many more nicer places with better quality, better experience, better service read more

This place is between a 4 and 4.5 The steak here is probably the best I've had on this side of the Hudson Surprisingly the sushi is also very fresh and the quality of the fish is equivalent to other good sushi places. The place can get very busy and crowded sometimes. You can definitely overstay your welcome here. We chatted a little longer than we should have and someone came by every five minutes to give us the nudge to leave. I get it, though it is a business. The vegetables and other side here are also pretty good. Loved the lentil soup! read more

Reservation for two for date night. We were seated upon entering and after being greeted by the host. We ordered drinks and I ordered sushi. The sushi was very fresh. However the food was just okay as was my margarita. I found it odd that my Margarita and the Jack and coke that were ordered came in the same type of glass, neither of which I would think would come in the glass it was in. The filet was good but it was not great like I expected. Mashed potatoes were good. Overall, I think a few friends hyped this restaurant up and upon trying it I was disappointed to be honest as it did not live up to the expectations. I do expect more from higher end restaurants, but I think it is fair to do so. I actually rate this a 3.5 but since there are no half stars I gave it a 4. I would not rush to return but if and when I do I will definitely get the sushi. read more

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated his birthday at The River Palm Terrace and we had a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting and our wait staff was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. While a couple of menu items were unavailable...the staff handled everything professionally and offered great alternatives. We stared with a pitcher of the Sangria which was perfect! My boyfriend originally ordered the prime rib but our waitress returned to let us know that only one boneless cut piece remained. He instead chose the T-bone, which was cooked to perfection and ended up being an excellent choice. We had also planned to order the zucchini blossoms but they had sold out for the evening so I opted for the lobster bisque instead. It was rich, flavorful and absolutely delicious. For my entrée I enjoyed the filet mignon with hash browns both prepared beautifully. We also shared the otoro crispy rice sushi, which was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. To top off the birthday celebration we ordered the Banana Nutella cake. The portion was very generous and the dessert was delicious & the perfect ending to a memorable meal. They even sang Happy Birthday! Despite a few items being unavailable the outstanding service, excellent food and welcoming atmosphere made for a special birthday dinner. We look forward to returning! read more

We were there for the holiday gathering. The food was great and the ambiance is festive. Both worth of 5 stars. My only complaint is the service. I would expect 5 star service from a 5 star restaurant. Honestly, the servers are not entirely enthusiast about our visit. Maybe we don't look like a high roller, but if they are judging us that way and i do feel uncomfortable. For that reason, I do not recommend. read more

It's the River Palm. What can I say. It us a consistently good steak pretty much everyday. If you are a meat eater and live in Bergen County then you probably already know.

The ambience of this restaurant was everything I felt like I was in a old school 1980s Italian movie not only was the ambience great but the service was phenomenal. Our server was very attentive. I could drop a fork and he would pop out of the blue with a whole new set of utensils and napkins. We came to celebrate my uncles 60th birthday. They also brought out a complementary dessert with a candle. The food was 10 out of 10 I will definitely go back. read more

The food was amazing and fresh - we also got a sushi roll which is not pictured but it was delicious. The steak came out perfect. We asked for medium and that was indeed what we recieved. We were so full and satisfied. The place was extremely busy for a Monday holiday, but that says a ton about how great of a place it was. The lighting was dark but intimate which we enjoyed. The sushi chef did come on out to introduce himself and ask us how we liked his sushi which we appreciated! Super nice guy! I still give it a 5 star however it did seem that there was an intoxicated man wandering around talking to random people. Thankfully he did not make it to our table however, he was very loud and asking every table if they knew who his dad was. read more

Was beyond excited to try this place after hearing all the great reviews, and I will say the food absolutely lived up to the hype. Every dish we had was delicious. Unfortunately, the overall dining experience really took away from what was supposed to be a special night out. We made a reservation and still had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. Once we were finally sat, we were placed directly next to a group of fourteen 7-year-old girls. I completely understand restaurants can't always control parties or noise levels, but for a restaurant that is supposed to feel upscale and special, it honestly ruined the atmosphere. There was constant screaming and chaos to the point where I couldn't even hear the person sitting next to me. On top of that, the tables upstairs were extremely close together. Every time someone got up -- guests or staff -- our chairs were being bumped into nonstop throughout the night. It made the entire dinner feel crowded, overwhelming, and honestly stressful instead of enjoyable. We ended up laughing about it by the end, but for a special occasion dinner, it was definitely disappointing. The food was genuinely very good, and I would like to come back because of that. But after this experience, it makes it difficult to want to return knowing how cramped and chaotic the seating felt. Maybe downstairs has a different vibe, but upstairs was unfortunately not the experience we were expecting. read more

Decent upscale steak restaurant by Edgewater. Been meaning to try this place and we went here for our anni The porterhouse steak was very juicy & tender but I def had better The calamari was veryyy good! Highly recommend getting it here The langoustine was not worth (2/5) getting here! It's on the special menu but they made it sound so good from New Zealand but it was smaller than usual, tasted dry and frozen. Drinks were mediocre here too. read more

I give a lot of five star reviews, but truly believe River Palm deserves 6 or 7 stars. It is truly one of the best steak houses in NJ. None really compare. If you have a good server and nice seating, the food is always superb! We have been a lot and always leave happy and satisfied. We do miss the free salad as always thought that was a nice touch and we would order bacon to put in it. With that being said, I know many restaurants are trying to still catch up from COVID, but always hope they bring it back. Maybe they do it on certain nights of the week or only offer on request. Last night was great. In any case , we love this place and will always go back. I had the filet and lobster and loved it. My husband had the dry aged ribeye.and it was cooked to perfection and very enjoyable. We enjoyed shrimp cocktail & burrata as an appetizer. Both great. We also had some cocktails, broccoli, & tartufo. Always impressed by the many choices and anything you order is perfect. I would definitely check this place out if you have not been. read more
