    Wow this place was excellent. Went with my family (4 adults) on an early Friday evening (6pm) and left stuffed. The ambiance was nice and the food was incredible. Our waiter was also super friendly and helpful when it came to ordering. The table bread: excellent! Nice variety and flavor. And the bread was hot!! I loved the bun with poppyseeds- had a nice onion flavor in it. Thick cut bacon: incredible. Savory salt bomb in the mouth. A must get. Lobster Mac & Cheese: the lobster was cooked very well and there was a decent amount of meat! I wish the cheese had a bit more flavor, but overall a solid side Ribeye for 1: my favorite item from the dinner. Perfectly cooked. Cut well. Massive portion. I'll be honest and admit I picked up the bone and cleaned that off. Porterhouse for 2: huge portion and also well cooked. It's clear this place knows how to cook steaks. (Notice we only got steaks for 3- this was PLENTY for all 4 of us, with a few pieces to take home) We didn't get a dessert but they brought us a plate of berries and cream. A delicious end to a fantastic dinner. Will definitely be back.

    I had a fantastic meal at Allendale Steakhouse with my family this past weekend. First, the restaurant is beautiful, clearly just built/remodeled. Second, the wait staff was attentive (never had an empty water glass), knowledgeable, and even made some jokes with my mom who was having difficulty deciding what to eat. We started our meal with thick cut bacon and crab stuffed mushrooms. Both were fantastic but I am partial to crab so those were my favorite. Come with 6 mushrooms so it's perfect to share! However, the star of the show was the steak. We split a Porterhouse for 2 and Ribeye for 1 between 4 people. The ribeye had a fantastic flavor/crust and the porterhouse was very tender. Medium rare is the perfect temperature, but if you have people in your party who like it a little more done you should tell the waiter and they can sear a few pieces on the hot plate when it first comes out. The asparagus and man n cheese sides were good, but nothing special compared to the meat dishes we ordered. All in all, I would definitely return. It's BYO, which nicely saves some $$ for an already expensive meal.

    A long standing restaurant who recently moved across the street from their old location. The new location used to be an old bank building. Great meets for sure!

    Excellent food and ambiance! We visited the new location and I must say it was such a huge upgrade! Now the location matches how fabulous the food is. Service is always very attentive. Overall, one of my favorite steakhouses in the area for sure!

    Porterhouse for two!

    An oasis in suburbia! It's not Keens or Peter Luger, but they know steaks. Excellent staff, very laid back and magnificent ambiance. Bring your own drinks policy means you have to stop by the wine store next door but you end up saving money and the wine store is well sorted! I will come back.

    We have been going to Allendale Steakhouse for years. We were so excited to hear about the new location. The next special occasion we had we made sure to make a reservation to go. This is one of our favorite spots for a nicer BYOB. The decor in the new spot is beautiful. I love how there is a nice tree when you walk in. We ate upstairs in the loft which I was excited about. A plus is there is a bathroom up there. We had a great seat, and service was excellent. They did not rush us at all. They brought both of our appetizers, one hot and one salad out at the same time and we told them we wanted to hot one first and salad after and they accommodated this. We had fried calamari which was delicious. Then we had the chopped salad and substituted the dressing for blue cheese and it was outstanding. The steaks are still as good as they were before, I love how they get a nice crust on the outside and still red on the inside. For a side, I had the creamed spinach which I enjoyed a lot. For dessert, we had cheesecake which was really good as well. We will definitely be back again soon!

Excellent wait staff with true table side manner. Great outdoor seating with ample parking in quiet saddle river. Great spot. Check out for brunch or breakfast, really awesome spot.

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ PHENOMENAL FOOD!!!!! ++++ Miso Marinated Salmon - Was absolutely delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly, wasn't dry and still moist. The citrus scented wild rice was excellent too. ++++ Truffle Burger - Honestly, one of the BEST burgers I've had in a longggggg, longgggg time. Everything was perfect about it - the caramelized onions, gruyere on top, bacon, truffle aioli, and, of course, the burger itself. The patty was dripppping with juices with every single bite and cooked to medium excellence. Oh, and those truffle fries that came with it? To die for! Loved the thinness of them and there was PLENTY of it to go around. ++++ Kids Macaroni & Cheese with Fruit - Relatively simple, but the creamy kind of mac and cheese. Kids absolutely loved it. The fruits were just grapes and a few little slices of pineapple, which we would have liked a bit more of. ++++ Kids Cheeseburger and Fries - Burger was DEFINITELY, without a doubt cooked well-done. It was a bit on the tiny side, but we still split it between the kids. Once again, fries were fantastic and there was more than enough to share. ++++ Banana-Rama Smoothie - Strawberry, banana goodness. Could definitely tell this was not artificial from the "true" flavor of the smoothie. It wasn't super sweet. + Service was very good throughout the evening. ++++ Food came out shockingly fast and fresh. ++++ Our waiter was friendly, on point and came by to check on us a few times. + Plenty of space inside of the restaurant, including an outdoor-indoor tent that is heated. + Decor was modern and contemporary, very clean inside. + Ambiance for dinner was dark and intimate, which caught me off guard because I thought it would be more casual, but perfect for group gatherings still and casual dine-ins. + PLENTY of parking in the large lot in front and to the side of the restaurant, which is shared within a little strip mall. + They take reservations online. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada! RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined from 5:45 - 7:15 PM on a Friday and most of the evening crowd was older and there weren't many families with kids. There were maybe 2-3 families with kids, but they left by 6:15 PM. Most of the groups were groups of 4, seemingly catching up during a nice meal. CONCLUSION -------------------- = I was pleasantly surprised by the experience we had here. I figured this would be a super casual Friday after work/school dinner with the fam, but this turned out to be one of the best meals we've had in North Jersey in a while. Food, service and ambiance here was excellent. Wish they had .5 stars on Yelp because Saddle River Cafe is as close to perfection as it can get at 4.5 stars!

I was deferred to Ben (who organizes the events) and had no difficulty arranging and executing the party with him.

However, for those who have lauded the ambiance, my two most recent visits offered a less than optimum dining experience. Downstairs, the main room is attractive, overcrowded, and a bit warm and cramped. Service on the first floor was first rate. NOW A WARNING; do not, under any circumstances, agree to sit on the second floor unless you are planning to attend a boisterous party with junior staff unfamiliar with the menu or their job. Most recently we couldn't hear or understand the apparently brand new waiter as he labored unsuccessfully through trying to read or explain the specials, so we stuck to the regular menu. The zuppa de pesce sauce was overly acidic and the fish was overly done. When told this, the waiter assumed a pained wide eyed expression, then smiled and walked away. There were a couple of parties going on upstairs right next to us which the attendees believed meant they could talk loudly while standing up right next to where we were sitting. The rudeness and interference with other diners was completely ignored by the staff. Our evening having been ruined by average food in a deafening environment with inadequate wait staff, we decided that this was not equal to the fine dining experience we expected so we left. If you decide to go (although why you would is a mystery to me) and they try to direct you upstairs (past numerous empty tables that were still empty when we left) depart in haste. Flee. Run away. Don't say you weren't warned.

Lovely atmosphere. The staff was polite and kind. The manager stopped by to chat and check in. The folks with me who ate the strip steak enjoyed it. It was tasty and cooked perfectly as they requested. That's good considering it IS a steakhouse. The negatives. It is not always the case that everyone in the party likes steak or likes every steak. So a good steakhouse will do the other options exceptionally well too. Particularly the meat. Here, they did not. I like ribeye. That's my favorite. They only offer a 24 oz ribeye, however, and since none of my peeps wanted ribeye (curses on them) I was up a creek. I don't like strip or filet. Didn't want pork. But I do LOVE a wedge salad, and few places have one. Steakhouses generally do. So I was quite happy to have one. Until I had it. They did not do it well. At all. First, the bacon... while it clearly began as a few lovely generous lardons, ended up four over cooked, hard as rocks bacon chunks. The chicken was dry and terribly overcooked. Hard on the edges. I would expect a steakhouse to get the grilled chicken breast correct. And the bacon is inexcusable. When the salad costs $30, you have to nail it. Could I have sent it back? I'm sure I could have. But looking at the neighbors' table, theirs looked the same so I figured what's the point. And I didn't want to be a Karen about a salad in a steakhouse. And I wasn't holding up my table's meal for a redo on a salad. At the end of the day, if you don't get something this simple correct, it is a fail. I'm sorry to say that. Truly. But it requires addressing. There are too many other options for good steak that do these non-steak elements right too.
