We had not been to HoHoKus Inn for a number of years but booked a table for 4 for last night to celebrate the holidays. We were delighted with the ambiance, service, food and cocktails. Our waiter was exceptional, he was knowledgeable about the entrees all were delicious! The holiday lighting outside and the cozy and not noisy upper floor (despite all tables filled ) made for a wonderful evening! Thank you!

Even though I am a local, I have not been to St. Eve's in a while. As a wine enthusiast I should support these local BYOBs more often. The food was excellent, probably one of the best pork chops I have ever had, wish I knew how they got it so tender. Other dishes :sea bass, lamb chops and duck spring rolls were also top notch. Service was professional and responsive. Decor is a bit cold and austere, However I do strongly recommend this restaurant and will be returing again shortly.
