Best Restaurants for Foodies in New City

The wait staff is very accommodating, and Wanting to please. The drinks/Cocktails are exceptional. All in all a very nice experience. They gave a very reasonable time between courses, and even asking for the order. So much food. but very kind about wrapping up all the leftover as well. The restaurant is very well run excellent administrative staff all around! Would recommend

Delicious food and great service. Restaurant was very energetic. We did have a nearby guest who didn’t know how to moderate her voice and really needed to consider others around her. Otherwise, staff were fast, nice and food and drinks were great.

Was a fantastic experience for our family of amateur foodies. The 6-course tasting menu was beautifully balanced and creative, with generous portions and gorgeous presentation. We added on 6 oysters and the filet, which was amazing. The service was lovely, with each dish explained as it was served. Will definitely return!

We’ve been going to the Cookery since it opened in 2009. We have developed an emotional connection with the restaurant. And the outstanding food isn’t the only reason. Dave DiBari pours his heart ❤️ into every plate that leaves their small kitchen. You can sense the passion with the wait staff and the other diners. We love going there and enjoying the total experience that the Cookery offers.

The Saddle River Inn is by far the best restaurant in Bergen county. My guests traveled all the way from Brooklyn, NY, and were absolutely in awe of the entire experience. The Christmas holiday decorations adding an extra layer of magic and charm to the already stunning ambiance. The food was perfection—every dish bursting with flavor and plated beautifully. The entire menu was a hit! Even my foodie guests, who are used to Brooklyn’s top dining spots, couldn’t stop raving about it. With the festive decor, cozy-yet-elegant vibe, and next-level cuisine, the Saddle River Inn made our holiday gathering truly unforgettable.
