Saddle River Cafe

My girlfriends and I came here for lunch and we were honestly obsessed from the second we walked in. Saddle River Café has that clean, modern, calming vibe. The service was so friendly and attentive without hovering. Our server gave great recommendations and checked in just the right amount. The food was the highlight — everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. We tried a few different dishes and shared everything, and there wasn’t a single thing we didn’t love. The portions were perfect: filling without being heavy, and you can tell they use really good ingredients. The coffee + drinks were also amazing. It’s one of those spots where you can sit, talk, and catch up for a while without feeling rushed. The outdoor dining is all decked out for the holidays also!!

Excellent food and exceptional service. We have dined here numerous times during weekdays and weekends, the food and service has been very consistent - consistently great. We have brought many people here and the feedback is the same - this restaurant exceeded their expectations. Thank you to Yulia (Manager) and Grace (Kitchen lead) for always going above and beyond to deliver the customer experience we all expect - service with a smile, never any attitudes, and tirelessly working to meet your expectations whether the place is fully packed or not. THANK YOU SADDLE RIVER CAFE TEAM!

FANTASTIC. The Asian steak noodle bowl was wonderful. It was cooked absolutely perfectly. Which is quite an accomplishment, because it's a thin slice of skirt steak. Kudos to the staff in the kitchen! Noodles were perfect consistency. The Sesame tuna was outstanding. The bread pudding was awesome! Service was great, and the staff could not have been nicer.

Underrated and outstanding restaurant. Always excellent. Their Tuna Taco app is delicious. As are the crabcake and artichoke apps. The truffle Burger or the surf and turf burger great. Lastly, every server there is friendly, attentive and professional!

From the stunning dining room and outdoor patio to the thoughtful, flavor-packed menu, everything at Saddle River Café is done just right. The standout dishes? The garlic bread served with a butter candle (yes, a literal butter candle!) and the truffle burger—both absolutely blew me away! The creative mocktails are perfectly balanced and thoughtfully crafted, whether you’re enjoying them on their own or with your meal. Every detail here feels intentional and elevated. Huge shoutout to Chef Jamie Knott and the entire team—they’re warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Can’t wait to return! A few favorites from our visit: 🌀 Bread Service – Sourdough with garlic butter (the butter candle is a must-try!) 🌀 Cornflake Crusted Crab Cake – Crisp, flavorful, and perfec
