    We had a few issues with the woman seating us. Don't get there early, even if it is 6 pm. Even if the place is only 5% full, they make you sit by the door until closer to your reservation time!~ The food was excellent! We had the Dover sole, lobster, shrimp gyro, and tuna and caviar special, which was also excellent. The sides included warm rice and spinach in a tomato-based broth and lemon potatoes. For dessert, the baklava was not eatable—it was stale and not sweet—but they took it off the bill. The lava cake was fabulous. I can't wait to go back and try something else. It's a beautiful place inside, and there is lots of parking.

    The Saddle River Inn is by far the best restaurant in Bergen county. My guests traveled all the way from Brooklyn, NY, and were absolutely in awe of the entire experience. The Christmas holiday decorations adding an extra layer of magic and charm to the already stunning ambiance. The food was perfection—every dish bursting with flavor and plated beautifully. The entire menu was a hit! Even my foodie guests, who are used to Brooklyn’s top dining spots, couldn’t stop raving about it. With the festive decor, cozy-yet-elegant vibe, and next-level cuisine, the Saddle River Inn made our holiday gathering truly unforgettable.
