For those seeking an unforgettable dining experience, this culinary gem delivers an extraordinary fusion that excites every sense.

Steak lovers will find themselves enthralled by signature offerings such as the Prime Porter House Steak for Two, a hearty celebration of perfectly seared, juicy beef that practically melts on the tongue, and the expertly grilled T-Bone Steak that balances robust flavor with tender finesse.

    This is hands down one of my fav spots to eat in the area! Love their sushi (weird to say for a steakhouse I know but trust me it's top notch) and their steak however my #1 thing on their menu is the Ahi Tuna...OMG it is always cooked (or not cooked in my case) to perfection. Just a tiny sear and the rest is raw...i'm literally drooling as I write this. The Fresh Homemade Burrata served with Hot Honey and Prosciutto is always one of my go to for apps. The staff is totally friendly (every now and then you may get someone over the top friendly where they are working extra hard for that big tip or see someone cranky - but being a server is hard work so I get it) however I personally have never had a bad experience in there. I'm also obsessed with their onion rings. The only negative is even if you have a reservation you have to wait...once we waited over an hour but that is not negative enough for me to not give this spot 5 stars.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
