Celebrated by Generations of Families

For generations, families, partners, and organizations have relied on Amarante’s Sea Cliff to celebrate life’s most important milestones. Here’s what they’re saying about their experiences.
Celebrated my bridal shower in early August at Amarante's and saying it was the most PERFECT day does not even do it justice. The grand ballroom was the perfect space overlooking the water and the food?? Beyond delicious!! Every moment down to the details was carefully planned and constructed by my mom, with the hands-on help of Dominic and his incredible staff overseeing from start to finish. The lead server, José, and the whole team we're attentive, helpful and ensured the afternoon went off without a hitch. We're so grateful! If you're looking to plan your next event, make it Amarante's!!

We had our wedding at Amarantes and are so happy with the decision.

Dominic, Jose, Mary and especially Darlene were all incredibly welcoming and helpful.
The food was amazing and everyone enjoyed the views and the venue as a whole. They made it so easy for us to enjoy our day!

Thank you Amarantes!
