Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Washington Township

The food & service was wonderful as always. We come. Here 2-3 times out of a year for special celebrations and it never disappoints. The only downside this time was the table across from us was filming content using ring lights and lots of flash that was very disturbing to the ambiance and our overall evening experience.

The Ho Ho Kus Inn is a neighborhood gem -- food is very good, it's got a nice atmosphere, and the service is professional, but friendly. It's nice to have a restaurant like this -- with a liquor license -- in the center of town. The manager was on site and working hard to make sure things went smoothly on the busy night we ate there.

We were sat immediately for our 6:30 Christmas night reservation. Oyster sampler appetizer was fresh and tasty served with horseradish, mignonette,and cocktail sauce. Generous crab stuffing on grilled shrimp for me and delicious lobster sauce on the lobster stuffed sea bass special for my husband. Beautifully decorated for the holidays with a photo worthy waterfall in their side room. Our server did not rush us and was perfectly attentive. Overall we had a lovely dinner and will definitely be back

enjoyed our lunch and food was very good, relaxing time with friends

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.
