French Restaurants near Closter, NJ

“Took my mom here for her birthday. The food is exquisite and the ambiance cannot be beat. I truly felt like I was in Paris for an hour. The octopus and the mussels were divine. And the special lamb sirloin was delectable. Best potatoes au gratin I’ve ever had.“

“I absolutely love the energy/vibe in this place! Music and food was great! The drinks were absolutely delicious and the customer service was spectacular. All the employees were great! Shout out to Darren, Mauricio and Melissa and the kitchen staff they made my night and the experience so amazing that I can't wait to go back. If I lived closer, this would definitely be my after-work spot. I'm looking forward to going there again.“

“My wife and I have dined at the Saddle River Inn many times. The food and service is outstanding. Last night we had crab cake and agnolotti with white truffle cream sauce as appetizers. They were both delicious! I enjoyed the Long Island Duck with lo mein, bok choy, shiitake, scallion, crispy rice, orange hoisin sauce as my entre'e. My wife had a pork chop filet special. While she enjoyed the combination of flavors in the dish, the pork was very "chewy". When she mentioned it to our server, he said that he was aware of it. He said that it was a new dish and had to be "tweaked". He offered to replace her meal but she declined. We shared strawberry cheese cake for desert, which was excellent. Without asking, the cost of my wife's entree was taken off our bill. We were pleasantly surprised by this gracious gesture, and plan to be back soon.“

“Went for dinner last night with my husband. A wonderfully unpretentious spot. BYOB. Quite possibly the best Italian food I've ever had. Service was great. I can't believe it took us this long to find. Will absolutely frequent regularly go forward!“

“My wife and I had never been to Tarrytown before, but on a whim got a reservation for our anniversary at Bistro 12. We couldn't recommend it more! We ate the lobster bisque, calamari and a Caesar salad to start. I had the seafood risotto and my wife had the Ravioli Tartufata, both very delicious. Both the food and service were fantastic, would return in a heartbeat.“

“We are huge fans of Peter Kelly's, but the little things need to be improved. We've gone to Kelly's places since the 90's, and are big believers, and X2O's lunch used to be the best buy in town. Like everything else the price has climbed, and it is no longer a great bargain, but it is still worth every penny at $36. The lunch menu has expanded, and even though we miss the risottos, the selection is ample, and the specials are terrific. What caused the rating to drop from five to four stars are two simple but vital things - the bread, which used to be a highlight, was very mediocre, and the coffee was weak, unusual for X2O. The food was spectacular, but the little things need to return to their usual high level.“

“This is the first time I've written a review. And I'm doing it only because the food, service and presentation were exceptional. 17 of us gathered for a family event. We had a dozen plus different dishes (some repeats/multiple orders). Every dish was exceptional. Literally every one. Bursting with rich flavors and great portions. Snails, scallops, salads, onion soup, chicken, pasta, filet of beef, potatoes, vegetables. Six different wonderful desserts, including soufflés. Terrific French cooking. Appetizers, salads, entrees, sides and desserts. Not an ordinary dish among them. One more thing. Unlike so many restaurants today where you can't hear yourself think much less talk to others, this restaurant has been designed to allow patrons to easily communicate with each other, even in a crowded dining room.“

“A great addition to the neighborhood, I come here on average at least once a week. It’s nice to have some classic French specialties so close to home. The food is freshly prepared, it’s fun to watch your crêpe being made. The menu has some crêpes for more Americanized palettes, those have made La Creparis a popular family spot as well as a date spot, solo diners are treated as well as are couples and groups. I look forward to continuing as a frequent diner.“

“Overall tasty things, I just wish the foie gras was a tad bit more. The gentleman server was very pleasant and we appreciate his recommendations for dessert. The only hiccup during our dinner here is the duck a l'orange- which was actually chicken. We're not the ones who send food back so we kept eating it. Tasty but not duck and paid duck price. Unfortunate if it was a mistake and terrible if this was intentional. So check your meat if your ordering this dish.“

“First time eating here and the food was amazing.The staff is super nice and out waitress was very helpful and cool. We had the mussels, calamari and burgers and everything was soooo good. Will definitively come back for dinner and desert. Thank you.“
