Ria-Mar Restaurant & Bar Reviews

The Ria Mar was absolutely perfect for our ceremony and reception. It was beautifully set up and our family and friends fit comfortably (approximately 80). The food and drinks were amazing and they also had our cake done for us. They worked with us to give us what we wanted fora great price. I would reccomend the Ria Mar to anyone having a wedding in the area.

There aren't enough words to express how great this place is! the owner, Rui, is superman!!! He bent over backwards making sure EVERYTHING was exactly the way I envisioned it! He beyond for us, we would have never been able to pull off such a fabulous wedding. The staff paid such attention to detail I didn't have a care in the worls the day of my wedding. ALL of my guests have raved about the service and the food! OMG the food is outrageous! We have had guests ask when we are returning so they can join us for dinner!

We love Ria Mar. There is no way we would have gone any where else. The food and the service is a complete package that cannot be beat. It feels like family when you go there and you know you're going to be taken care of. Thank you for making our wedding spectacular. Everyone is still talking about the mountains of food! Love Jon and Lucia

I wish I could give Rui and the staff at Ria Mar more than 5 stars because they are just that good. The food and service was excellent. Rui was fantastic to work with.
So many people raved about the food and were shocked when they found out it was a sit down dinner after all the food served at cocktail hour.
I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them for another occasion.

Ria Mar was truely fabulous! The food was just incredible. We had a mountain of lobster tails and such fresh seafood. The sushi was amazing too. I give them a 10+ because the food and service were just above and beyond anything we could have expected. I would recommend them to everyone!

Ria Mar was absolutely FABULOUS. From the first time we walked in to even talk about having our reception there, we felt like family and like we were the only people getting married there all year. It definitely isn't like some of the "wedding factories" in NJ. They are able to work in any budget and make your event look and TASTE like a million dollars. We were able to customize our entire menu... no choosing one entree from each list, no choosing 5 appetizers from a list of cold and hot... just sitting down and talking about what you like and what you want to serve your guests. Rui - the manager/owner that helped us through the whole process - offered many menu suggestions and worked with any of our requests. The service from Rui down to the servers and bar staff is nothing less than 5 stars. Our food was amazing and people are still raving about it. If I had to do it all over again, I put choose Ria Mar every single time. In fact, we've already talked about having an anniversary party or other celebration there some time in the future. If you're on the fence, just call Ria Mar and speak to Rui. You'll feel instantly at ease and like all your questions are answered honestly and without a sale pitch. You won't be sorry!!! I would give Ria Mar 100 stars if I could. Five out of five isn't enough!

The food and service here was the best and made our special day even better

Had my Daughter's Sweet 16 there 11-27-15 and my wife and are were amazed. Place was beautiful, clean, food was amazing and so much of it and they boxed up all the leftovers. All the guests loved the place and raved about it. Wait staff was great and attended to all our needs. See you again in July 2017 for my youngest daughters sweet 16. Thanks

We worked with Rui and Natalia, and they are both incredibly helpful! They stood by us every step of the way when planning our wedding. Our guests had an amazing time! We weren't crazy about the cake their baker made us, but besides that, it was 100% success!

We had our rehearsal dinner here for about 25 people. There was a little too much time between courses, but the food was amazing and very affordable. They were extremely flexible and told us to get there when we get there and not to worry about it. Rui was always very pleasant and helpful on the phone. Great time!

Had a rehearsal dinner here for about 30 people in a private room. One waiter was assigned to our party and he was doing his best to accommodate, but if you can't handle the number of people, maybe you should acknowledge it and not take the party. There were multiple waiters for other parties that were in the building. We had to wait an hour between everything. After the soup was served we waited an hour for salad, then an hour and a half for entrees. Then when we went to talk to one of the owners, he said that's the way they do dinner service. After we complained, he sent one more waiter but that was after dinner was all done. They basically sent an extra waiter to clean up. Never going there again.
