   Always a wonderful time! The food was delicious and the service (Matt was our waiter) was warm, engaging and professional. An incredible experience. The restaurant, while always beautiful, was festively decorated for the holidays. So beautiful!

   Thoughtful holiday decorations. The lamb chops and the pork chop, two of our favorites, were cooked to perfection - tender, juicy and delicious as usual. We always look forward to coming here and the new apple caramel puff tart is a welcome addition. Keep up the fantastic work. We already made our next reservation.

   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.

   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.
