    I brought my friends from overseas and they were blown away by how charming and incredibly delicious this new french american restaurant was. The steaks were incredible but the foie gras was memorable. BYOB so highly splurging and bringing a great cab or bordeaux. Perfect for date night or family celebrations, I'm definitely coming back again.

    No wonder it is hard to get reservations here. Hands down our absolute favorite restaurant in NJ. Outstanding service, food, and ambiance. Cannot say enough wonderful things about the Saddle River Inn.

    I bring my boyfriend, now fiancé, here every year for his birthday and randomly we come through out the year for other occasions. It is close to our home and the food is absolutely incredible. We have our favorites, steak tartare, Spanish octopus and the duck. Not to mention whatever specials are available. It is always cozy and comfortable. The wait staff are professional and friendly.

    Had an incredible experience here! We had the halibut special and the scallops—both were outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance was just perfect—warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!
