    My wife had the duck and I had the scallops. Both were excellent. I had the octopus appetizer. It was excellent, too.

    The Saddle River Inn never disappoints. They serve the best Dover Sole I have ever eaten. The food is always excellent, the service is terrific and the ambiance is perfect. This place is a gem.

    Been to this restaurant many times over the years, never ceases to disappoint us, in spite of change of ownership over the last 30 years. The restaurant is a classic, Had great service from the moment we entered the restaurant. Keep up the great work.
