    Never disappoints. Food is always good, service gets a little busy but the waiters are nice and def doing their best, love getting dressed to go here. Only downside is the valet is slow and they switched company’s so you can’t pre order your car.

    We had not been to HoHoKus Inn for a number of years but booked a table for 4 for last night to celebrate the holidays. We were delighted with the ambiance, service, food and cocktails. Our waiter was exceptional, he was knowledgeable about the entrees all were delicious! The holiday lighting outside and the cozy and not noisy upper floor (despite all tables filled ) made for a wonderful evening! Thank you!
