    Food and drinks were excellent. Had the short rib hash with a side of plain pancakes and fresh squeezed orange juice. Space heaters located outside kept us warm on a slightly chilly afternoon.

    Great meal as always, we ate outside and were worried about the weather on a cold, damp night, but with the heaters, the covered patio was very comfortable, we will certainly eat outside again.

    I absolutely love Saddle River Cafe for brunch. From the food to the service to the vibe. My wife and I both got a different Benedict - crab cake for her and salmon for me. My kids, 12 and 15, got the avocado toast with old bay fries and the banana pancakes... Home runs! (although the pancakes are pushing desert...) We split a key lime pie for desert. Service was flawless.

    Great spot for a lovely meal, attentive service. Thank you especially to Julia for taking so much care with people. We had lunch and the food was really flavorful - tuna sushi and turkish eggs both great choices. Looking forward to going back for dinner.

    I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys eating excellent food and sitting outdoors (no fear of rain, as it is under cover). I have not tried the indoor setting yet. I also like that this place is a BYO.
