    My wife had the duck and I had the scallops. Both were excellent. I had the octopus appetizer. It was excellent, too.

    The Saddle River Inn never disappoints. They serve the best Dover Sole I have ever eaten. The food is always excellent, the service is terrific and the ambiance is perfect. This place is a gem.

    Been to this restaurant many times over the years, never ceases to disappoint us, in spite of change of ownership over the last 30 years. The restaurant is a classic, Had great service from the moment we entered the restaurant. Keep up the great work.

    We been coming to the Saddle River Inn for many years. The food quality, ambiance and service are all excellent. The prices, like most great restaurants have increased proportionally with the economy and times. The only negative factor is that it can be difficult to get reservations, especially for a Friday or Saturday evening. Otherwise, we still will look forward to our next opportunity to enjoy this fine restaurant.
