    Mye husband has been coming here for over 40 years attending dinners with friends, family and corporate events. We have coming here as a couple for over 37 years every year and have enjoyed all of our dinners here thru the years. The food, the staff, and the coziness of the surroundings make it a wonderful experience.

    Although reservations were a bit challenging to make, it was worth the wait. The staff were extremely friendly, accommodating, professional and knowledgeable. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Kudos to a well-run establishment! The food went beyond expectations and Chef Jamie Knott is to be commended. My dietary challenges were addressed with no fuss. I ordered the the side artichokes as an appetizer; and as I am unable to have cheese, they were prepared with butter, lemon and lovely seasoning - very tasty. I had the halibut special which was cooked to perfection. I was asked the doneness preference which surprised me as even in the best seafood establishments this is never asked. I don't like overdone halibut, but slightly moist but firm. It was delightful and utterly delicious! Such flavor! My husband ordered the Spanish octopus appetizer which was so tender and so tasty. His entre consisted of the lamb chops which were cooked to a lovely tender pink and were delectable. We split the mini chocolate cakes which were yummy! Service was spot on - all you had to do was look up if you needed something, and our server was there. I can't say enough about how wonderful everyone was. All in all, a wonderful experience.

    A fantastic way to celebrate our anniversary. Everything about The Saddle River Inn is truly wonderful - the food, the service, the menu, the ambiance. Our waiter Ty was exceptional.

    It was unusually loud in there last night from a large party upstairs. That took away from the ambience.
