The food and beverages are great. I have been there for lunch, dinner and a 100+ birthday party. Everything I have eaten there was cooked perfectly. Every member of their staff was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will keep going back.

This place is amazing. The food was fresh and huge portions. I’ve been here about 3-4 times. I like this restaurant very much. The sangria is phenomenal! Best I’ve ever had. The salad, simple but incredibly delicious. Fresh baked bread also does not disappoint. I’d definitely recommend, even the sangria alone is worth the trip. They’re definitely doing something right there!!

Lovely renovated. Outstanding service.My steak was undercooked but quickly corrected. My friends veal was overcooked.She switched to a shrimp entree, which was perfect. Will go back but will order one of the shrimp entrees.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but someone came to help. No signage how to operate.

Food has always been great there for many years that I've been going there. Servers always strive for the best they can give you. One of the best restaurants in town!

Recently had my daughter’s bridal shower at Ria Mar. this place is THE place to have your event hosted at. The best prices, staff attentiveness, service and food is beyond compare. Natalia, Paul and Sandra are top shelf! Utmost accommodative!! Can’t wait to go back and celebrate our 30th anniversary there! Thank you so much Ria Mar! You made us happy!

The food is horrible at this place, worst Portuguese restaurant in south river. Rui isn’t as nice as people think, my son worked there when he was 15 years old and Rui got him into gambling and he hasn’t stopped since, he has lost everything, what man puts in bets for 15 year olds? He never put bets in for his own kids, I wonder why. He ruined our life and he sits in his bar like he’s such a nice guy, don’t be fooled, stay away from this place.

I celebrated my daughter's Sweet 16 recently and I'd give Ria Mar 10 Stars if possible! Natalia, Paul, Rui and their staff were phenomenal! They are very nice and accommodating. The food was delicious! The service was excellent! I highly recommend Ria Mar! Thank you again for such fine dining and service!

I called Natalia less than two weeks ago bc there was a last minute change of plans with my daughter’s wedding and we needed a new venue asap!! She took care of us, helped me with our dilemma, and was so professional and supportive!! She tended to all of our needs and made sure we got everything we wanted!! The staff that were in attendance at the wedding were exceptional!!!! Danny and his crew were not only fast and efficient but so engaged with all of our guests and they felt like part of the family!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! A million times!! Even that’s not enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Kid-friendliness: Accommodating with kids menu, high chairs, kid friendly atmosphere
