    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Saddle River Inn, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch, making for a truly memorable evening. The menu offers a fantastic selection of French-American cuisine, and every dish was prepared to perfection. From the appetizers to the desserts, each bite was flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive—attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable dining experience.

    We had never been to the Saddle River Inn, as reservations are difficult to secure (the only negative aspect of the SRI). Our dinner was absolutely delicious 🤤, and the service was even better if that’s possible. We will definitely 💯 return and highly recommend the SRI.

    The atmosphere is certainly the main draw, old charm, fine dining ambiance and plenty of room. We were lucky to have an excellent waiter (Ty) but here is where I go into the food. Appetizers; The Fois Gras was excellent however, 1 small piece on a toasted piece of bread at $36 was just not worth it. Crab cake, less than average, peanut noodles, well you can get that dish in many Asian restaurants for less than half the cost and double the portion, the smoked salmon w/ caviar was ordinary. Main courses, my duck was tasty but just ok, my wife’s pork was also average at best, our friends had the scallops and the steak both said …. Just ok. As for the deserts. The peanut butter mouse was good, the banana “French toast “ excellent and the chocolate tart was average. The above said, while the atmosphere is great the rest of the hype is just that, it runs on reputation. This is three out of five stars at best.
