Most Romantic Restaurant - TIE

The Saddle River Inn reigns supreme when it comes to romantic dining, but this year it shares that crown with Ivy Inn. What’s not to fall in love with at these two distinguished and wonderfully charming restaurants? Bergenites love the country setting of the Saddle River Inn, its cozy atmosphere and its traditional French cuisine. Ivy Inn, once a stagecoach inn, has a wonderfully fitting name, since ivy is the symbol of love and marriage. The red room with dark wood beams simply screams romance.
