Ritz Seafood

Love this restaurant!! This establishment is the real deal. I've been hearing about this restaurant for quite a while now and finally got the opportunity to try it out and I have to say the rumors were spot on. The waiters were attentive and extremely knowledgable...made us feel very comfortable. Mouth was already watering after hearing the specials...we started with a few appetizers for the table and the variety was fantastic. We all had an array of some of the dinner specials (Devilfish stood out) but I decided to try the Ginger-Soy White Bass upon recommendation from our server and it absolutely melted in my mouth. This is one of those hidden gem restaurants. Also had a very nice conversation with a table next to us and they went on to remark on how they've been coming to Ritz Seafood for the past 10 years and there is no equal. Of course tried the Coconut Cream Pie and well.....Wow!! I love this restaurant....a must try! more

My husband and I went here for the first time tonight. The place is tiny and was crowded so we had to sit at a high top table with the most uncomfortable stools ever. The server came over to take our order. We ordered and NEVER saw him again. Took 25 minutes for our first course to come out. Had to flag down another server/busboy in the restaurant for refills AFTER we had already eaten our main entree. He took our glasses and never returned. Finally another server walked by and saw we were sitting at a completely empty table and asked if everything was ok. Explained we asked for refills and the guy never returned so he was kind enough to get us refills. Food was plain - I'd say maybe a 5 out of 10 if i was being generous. Waste of time and money....... more

I found this restaurant through Best of South Jersey magazine and thought I'd give it a try. Wow, big mistake!! I felt that as soon as I walked in. The decor is horrible and there is absolutely no ambience. I felt that the tables were crowded together and I did not get a sense of cleanliness. It looked as though it was decorated about 20 + years ago in an asian theme lacking no style. The waiter seemed rushed and unenthused with our presence. Aside from all of this, I tried to maintain a positive perspective hoping that maybe the food would be good. However, our food which was served on plastic plates, lacked flavor and quality. There were 4 in my party and we tried most of the chef's specialties. I just sat there wondering why this restaurant was written up in Best of South Jersey. I can honestly say that I would never return or recommend this restaurant and not even for the coconut cream pie which was at best mediocre. more

Awesome food. Try the coconut pie. Even though it doesn't look classy, it is simply amazing! more

The food was over priced and poor quality. The dishes were lacking in flavor, bland and unimaginative. Dessert was the only highlight and it was probably pre-made. It is also very noisy and hot in there. Pros: Waiter was friendly Cons: Food was not good, overpriced, lacking creativity. more

We went to dinner the other night and had Ritz Seafoods 4 Course dinner for $30, we were just blown away with the dinner we had. We've eaten at other 4 couse deals throughout philly & south jersey durring restaurant week but they do this all the time although not on Sat. night. I mean we're talking a dozen appetizers as well as entree's and we didn't notice any size difference in entree's. alittle bit smaller salad Pros: 4 courses for $30, great hot chocolate, charming asian owner/hostess, BYOB Cons: they don't serve alcohol more

Seated at 9:30 Fri night in an unfriendly manner. A lack of ambiance and a disgruntled waiter met us, who didn't want to be bothered by the nite's last party. He rambled the specials, & we ordered the deep-fried soft-shell crabs (he said it came with 3, but we only received 2) and mussels appetizers - black bean and garlic broth was fantastic. Had to ask the waiter for water,& the entrees were brought while apps were still on the table. My ahi tuna was dry, with crunchy brown boring rice and cool vegetables, although my date's talapia was tasty and hot. We finished the meals and left quickly. It was an empty room by then and I had tired of being rushed. I will not be back here - the service was cold like my tuna and I could get better for $20 entrees if I drive to Philly. Pros: fresh seafood, appetizers, BYOB Cons: ambiance, service, attitude more

After seeing a movie at the Ritz, just decided to stop in and try Ritz Seafood. Haven't been able to get enough of it. The food is amazing; the staff is always aiming to please. Love, love LOVE the coconut cream pie, which is out of this world (even if you don't think you like that kind of thing). Would go just for the fabulous food, but the handsome waiters are an added bonus. :) Pros: BYOB, staff, good parking Cons: crowded tables, pricey more

We've been reading so much about this place lately, and then saw it on Food Network's ""The Best of Seafood Restaurants"" and figuered we better try this place out. Maybe (nolanpt) is a competitor, but my wife and I loved this place. Heck, it's Zagat Guides top rated seafooder in NJ & just made their America's top restaurants list....now it was just our first time, but greeted by the owners personally, app.s are enough for two, great Hawaiian Butterfish, my wife had whole Devilfish (HUGE, SPICEY & YUM), But the best & WOW I mean a Coconut Cream pie to die for, topped with white chocolate & fresh toasted coconut, i am not a coconut fan but it was really good! & BIG!, good service too. Pros: really FRESH fish, Nice,clean ladiesroom, Not usual anything Cons: Portions to big, crowded, poring our own wine more

Ritz Seafood is a small restaurant but its food and service overcome that. Various flavors beat everybody around... I haven't been to a better seafood place yet.... I love that place.... All the servers are very good: Josh, Jiri and Chris! Thank you guys! Gloria you have very good team and food out there! Pros: food, service, Snapper Thai style! Cons: , little tight more

It is so rare that I get excited for food. I was so excited! Everything was unique and tasty. A bit expensive and cramped, but very tasty! Pros: Yum! more

We used to live near this wonderful little gem of a restaurant and ate there at least once or twice a month. Now that we moved, it is still worth the drive. We both have loved every meal we've ever had, and whenever we've brought guests, they have agreed! The owner is always walking through to make sure you're pleased, which we always are. Our favorites are the Devil Fish (usually a special) and the Seafood Sheppard's Pie! Great Appetizers too. Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Free Parking Cons: Usually Crowded more

Restaurant is one of the best seafood places in Philly area, definitely the best in south Jersey. The food has a great Asian flare to it. Friendly host/owner comes to table frequently to check-up. Friendly and prompt waiters know the menu well. Been there many times and don't see myself stopping. Went with a large group recently and still got great and fast service from the staff. No one had any complaints and all had a great time. The chef presented himself and even provided a free round of desert wine. Would recommend to anyone. Pros: Great Food, Service, BYOB Cons: Small Dining Area more
