Always love The Saddle River Inn. Porterhouse was cooked perfectly chocolate panna cotta was divine. Can't wait to return.

No wonder it is hard to get reservations here. Hands down our absolute favorite restaurant in NJ. Outstanding service, food, and ambiance. Cannot say enough wonderful things about the Saddle River Inn.

I bring my boyfriend, now fiancé, here every year for his birthday and randomly we come through out the year for other occasions. It is close to our home and the food is absolutely incredible. We have our favorites, steak tartare, Spanish octopus and the duck. Not to mention whatever specials are available. It is always cozy and comfortable. The wait staff are professional and friendly.

Had an incredible experience here! We had the halibut special and the scallops—both were outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance was just perfect—warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Always amazing food, service and ambience ! Matt took great care of us and it was lovely to see Tye!
Adam
Excellent start to finish. Everything we ordered was fantastic. .......... but if this is something that appeals to you, when they write “trust me !” in the menu - they are not kidding! WAGYU BEEF TATAKI crispy rice & caviar, trust me!

This is our fourth time at SRI and as always the service and ambiance was wonderful. The food was delicious but my husband unfortunately got very sick after his meal. He and I shared everything except the veal Parmesan so I'm wondering if maybe something was off with that specific dish. Everything tasted delicious and had he not gotten sick I would've given this meal a 5/5! We had the tuna carpaccio, octopus, beef tataki, cavatelli, Dover sole, veal parm, choc panna cotta, and caramel bread pudding.

I went here for a wedding 2 weeks ago , amazing food , cozy little place , ppl are very nice & efficient getting our meals , drinks ..I hope to go here one night for dinner ..
My wife and I had our wedding at SRI on 10/12/24. It was superb! The food was incredible (as it always is), the service was perfect (also as it always is) and the atmosphere was magnificent (situated in a refurbished late 1700s barn overlooking the river with a beautiful courtyard). The guests RAVED about everything. Our server, Matt, was personable, responsive, and a genuinely great guy. The manager, Anthony, worked with us for months and months in advance to make sure everything went perfectly. He dedicated countless hours to answering all our questions, making sure the details were perfect and helping with every one of our requests (many of which I’m sure were out of the ordinary). Some of the guest favorites were the Szechuan beef noodle appetizer, tuna tartare, lump crabmeat salad, Wagyu rib cap, veal parmigiana, and Dover sole. Saddle River Inn is undoubtedly the best restaurant in NJ.
The food and service was spectacular worth the wait. Love this restaurant, first time and won’t be our last. Thank you !

A Birthday celebration turned into a culinary delight... the palate was amused, tickled and savoring every pleasing to the eye morsel... subtle yet complex flavors. Exquisite but low key. Not everything on website is on menu so if your desire is powerful, double check, but your certain to find something wonderful in it's place. We had duck, black bass, smoked salmon and oysters... My 40 year haitus from shell fish broken.. happily. All were perfect. Lil additions, bread butter, palate cleansing soup shot, dessert ... perfect.. Hint, We had to Book well in advance... to get a table..
Parking: Enter from north side for more parking. Leave time to spend in the Art/ gift shop. Read historical marker.

Ambiance ... perfect service ..... perfect Food.... Needs improvement .for an upscale restaurant the food was just average .I was expecting to be blown away. Even the dessert failed to pleasantly surprise me.

We've eaten here quite a few times before, and it has always been very good and fun. This last time, however, the main courses were cold when they came to the table and my wife's rack of lamb very tough. Chef's starter and the oyster appetizer were terrific, however. Our waiter seemed very rushed and otherwise pre-occupied with other things. He basically dropped off our check and just walked away. We left cash and just walked out. I think because we arrived late due to traffic and promised the Maître d' we'd be done in 90 minutes, he figured we weren't spending much and could care less. Dining time is limited to two hours, so be sure you're there on or ahead of your scheduled time as they are quite strict with this rule. Traffic in the immediate area around the restaurant has gotten even worse than it was. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive.
