Best French Restaurants in Harrington Park

What a nice dinner. Place is very cute. Was sitting near an area where the staff prepped things. So plenty stopped and chatted near our table. Was not a fan of that. Also was not a fan of the squash risotto. Too sweet and too earthy at the same time. Not a great combo. We swapped out for the escargot that was amazing. Waitress was adorable and very knowledgeable. Would go back again however I would skip the risotto.

Portions sizes for the price could have been larger. But the food quality and service and hospitality are exceptional and way above standards. Also cocktails were amazing. Will definitely go back.

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.

Outstanding food and service rivaling something you would see in a small French bistro in a quiet arrondissement in Paris. Chef Michael making the rounds added an extra special touch. My wife and I shared the lump crab soufflé and split the Fallen cheese special. The filling was suburb and was finished in a lobster sauce that was like a lighter version of a lobster bisque. The fallen cheese was Brie and goat mixed together with fresh strawberries and a jam. We each had the salmon which was tremendous. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the sauce was absolutely incredible. Perfectly made pearl cous cous with the veggies was a great accompaniment.

This was a first visit celebrating our friendship over the past 40 plus years. It was a late lunch and all aspects from greeting to menu selection were amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was polite, friendly and extremely professional. Overall, this was a great meal and I would definitely recommend Freelance.
