    As always, the food, service and atmosphere of the Saddle River Inn was superb! The crab salad, scallops and lamb were all delicious and it's always a plus to bring our own wine. If only it was easier to get a reservation!

    The place the food and the service is excellent, but it is so extremely hard to get a reservation, but you just wanna finally give up but it’s worth the experience. It’s one of my favorite restaurants and I try and go there every year for our anniversary and do a 30 days ahead of time, but it never works
