    Our first visit here and as it was for my birthday it was great to try somewhere new. We were not disappointed , from the warm welcome from Maria at the front reception desk to the wait staff everyone was extremely pleasant. We sat in The Tavern room with the real Fireplace. We ordered a couple of cocktails and our food. Our cocktails took a little while to arrive as a different wait staff was helping out our original server.

    The HoHoKus Inn is one of my favorite restaurants because it is local, I love the historic atmosphere and I think the salmon burger is fabulous. The only thing I don’t like is the noise level.

    Just love when we are a smaller party & get to enjoy the quaint ambiance of the library at the checkerboard table in the corner! Even found a copy of The Pickwick Papers by Dickens on the shelf! Everyone is always so warm & welcoming! Nicole was very friendly & professional, and everything from our Pei Mussels to Fish Tacos to Apple Crisp was exceptional! We will see you next Saturday!

    This was my first time in the tavern portion of this restaurant. My friends go there frequently, and I decided to tag along, and it was wonderful! The food was delicious and so beautifully prepared… We decided to share some appetizers of fig and arugula, pizza, mojo de ajo shrimp, and dates stuffed with goat cheese. They were all superb. We also each got a small salad. I had the fried goat cheese, which was amazing. I really enjoyed the coziness and warm feel of this place and will definitely be back!

    We have dined here before and have always enjoyed it. It was a crowded evening and the noise level was high but festive, and not unbearable. The food was very good, bordering on excellent. We shared an excellent pear salad which featured cubes of fried Brie - amazing! The duck and the seafood risotto were also quite good, as was the banana bread pudding. They have a good wine cellar, too. The only drawback was that there was an unfortunately long wait between the salad course and the entrees coming out, and the wait staff gave us no update during that time.
