You can find great selection of steaks, seafood and everything in between. Sangria is always a must if you are into that kind of stuff. Try to make reservations if you can. Place can be really packed at times so wait times are long.

It's a tight noisy place so it's not for romantic or an intimate dinning experience. That being said it's great to get coworkers together and get loud! The appetizers were good and the sangria lived up to it's reputation. However 2 out of the 3 courses ordered had issues. The surf and turf... Lobster burned on top and over-cooked. The filet was charred where all you tasted was carbon. I sent it back and the waiter told me "that is how it comes out as it is a charcoal grill (nonsense the fire was too hot as they probably dropped too much charcoal and therefore overheated grill will burn anything before it is cooked inside). The steak Portuguese had a great sauce however the steak was again over-cooked and tough. The service was excellent as they had a waitstaff of close to ten waiting on you hand and foot so I tipped them well as they deserved it. It was a very busy night but you do it right or get a review such as this. Picture to prove what I reviewed.

Back in November of 2019, we designed a sweet 16 at the Ria Mar. The Ria Mar never fails as one of our go to venues. The staff are so helpful with anything we need. We were able to beautifully execute the glitz and glam sweet 16 for the birthday girl. The ambiance here is always on point. UPDATED- May of 2021, we designed and coordinated a Hollywood Themed Wedding at the Ria Mar. Initially the couples ceremony was to happen at a park gazebo. We had set everything up, purchased tarps as the wind and rain did not ease. But unfortunately it just couldn't happen. We called the Ria Mar and asked if there was any way we could move the ceremony into the downstairs ballroom and by the Grace of God, there were no other parties happening so we were able to have the ceremony there. The staff was so helpful as we were on a time crunch. We had the ceremony to set up as well as the reception which was being held in the main ballroom. We were also permitted to set up a backdrop in the foyer which really tied everything together. We are so thankful so have such an accommodating venue right here in our home town.

Service was right on, we used the small room very nice for a large family dinner. Drinks and appetizers were fabulous. The seafood dishes were delicious 😋. I can't recommend their steaks are tough. I would recommend this restaurant for any other dishes. Truly incredible.

Our tables are socially distanced. Our staff uses masks and we have hand sanitizer around for people and our staff to use.

Are you following CDC guidelines in your restaurant, like masks, gloves and washing of hands for employees? Our older relatives are leary about going to Ria Mar for dinner because the hear things.

Had lunch few days ago. Waiters wore mask and gloves. We ate lunch in their outside patio. We also seen people eating inside. It was not crowded. Customers were spaced out to provide adequate distance. Hope this helps. Best to call to see how crowded before going there
