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.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed into a friendly atmosphere. After being promptly seated in a roomy table for our 5, Tray, our waiter introduced himself. He was friendly, listened well and was professional in taking orders, addressing questions and making us comfortable. He was attentive without hovering or rushing us. The food was amazing. It was my 2nd visit and my visiting friends absolutely loved it and want to come back. Thank you! The food & Tray made it great!

The food was exceptional! We had the calamari, mushroom soup and arugula salad for appetizers, brick chicken and ahi tuna entrees, and a side of the bolognese. Everything was cooked to perfection, including my son’s buttered pasta with cheese! For dessert, we snagged the last piece of Xmas Eve tiramisu and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was comfortable and cozy and we felt really taken care of by the staff! Cocktails were also fantastic & we went to go back soon for live music at in bar on Thursdays! 10/10 no notes!!
