About River Palm Terrace
River Palm Terrace — Upscale Private Dining & Events
River Palm Terrace on River Road in Edgewater is one of New Jersey's most acclaimed and enduring fine dining establishments — celebrating over 40 years of serving what many consider the finest USDA Prime dry-aged beef in the state. Positioned on the Edgewater waterfront near the Hudson River with convenient access from the George Washington Bridge and Palisades Parkway, River Palm Terrace is the premier choice for couples seeking a world-class culinary setting for their rehearsal dinner, wedding party dinner, or intimate wedding celebration.
River Palm Terrace is not a ballroom wedding venue — it is something rarer and more refined. The restaurant maintains several private dining rooms to accommodate private parties and corporate events, creating an intimate, exclusive dining experience for groups who want extraordinary food and distinguished service rather than a production. Their distinguished professional wait staff provides what the restaurant describes as "the highest rated butler service in the area" — and their guests agree.
“The entire waitstaff and bussers were so attentive, we have been getting compliments all day. The staff were also so helpful to my mom who has mobility issues. Just fantastic - highly recommend RP for private events”
River Palm Terrace maintains several private dining rooms to accommodate private parties and corporate events — allowing groups to enjoy the full restaurant experience in an exclusive, semi-private setting. Beautifully appointed and staffed with the same butler-level service that the restaurant is known for in the main dining room.
Hand-selected USDA Prime beef aged on the premises to the mellow point of perfection, then hand-crafted by the in-house butcher. Center-cut only from the finest stockyard packing companies in the country. Complemented by exceptional seafood, pasta, sushi, and an extensive wine list — a complete fine dining experience for your private event.

Butler-Style Welcome
The River Palm Terrace's distinguished professional wait staff begins providing what the restaurant genuinely describes as the highest-rated butler service in the area — from the moment guests arrive, attentive without being intrusive, expert without being stiff.

USDA Prime steaks — center cut, dry-aged on premises, hand-crafted by the in-house butcher — arrive at the table with fresh seafood, pasta, and the River Palm's distinctive menu. For couples hosting their rehearsal dinner here, it is the dinner that wedding guests talk about throughout the following day's celebrations.
