PROS: Very spacious bar with many tables, atmosphere is good, staff is friendly, and they serve food late. Loads of parking in their lot and on the street CONS: They don't increase the A/C when there's a lot of people there so it's like a sauna in there OVERALL: Bring breathable clothing since it'll be hot. Other than that you'll have a great time read more

Nikki provided the BEST service I've had in a long time - my partner and I both agreed. We didn't hesitate to let her know either Cocktails were great ! Food: Empanadas : 3.5/5 Wings: 4/5. They were absolutely perfect but wish they were slightly bigger. It was the chicken was on a diet. lol Nikki recommended the sauces on the side (because we're indecisive and which to select) and what a great choice. The calleo and the Thai chilli were amazing read more

This is a great option within the town of New Milford, that has very few decent options, but still would like to see some improvements. The space is pretty lively and would be a great place to watch a sports event. Appreciate that the space has different types of seating areas from traditional dining tables to a big bar area and a lounge area in the middle. It can get loud in there so I wouldn't go there if you're looking for an intimate vibe. The staff is pretty friendly and do a good job of attending to the patrons. The food is where it was a bit disappointing to me. I can appreciate the wide variety of items on the menu, but not when the quality varies so much. We ordered a few pasta dishes (one that was on the daily special), a few taco dishes, an order of wings and the brussel sprouts. All of the pasta dishes were huge disappoints. They looked like pasta dishes from Applebees. The sauces were very runny and the kids pastas were the most basic pastas that were way overpriced for what they were. My daughter who loves pastas only ate about 1/3 of it and told me she didn't like it. The wings were dry and not saucy enough. The tacos were OK. The brussel sprouts were the only standout dish that we ordered. I liked their extensive draft beer menu though. Lots of variety to choose from and the drinks were fresh. Overall, I'd certainly come back here and hope that I pick some better food choices or a big improvement on the food quality, but a fun place to hang out at. read more

Excellent food and friendly service. Reasonable prices and more than enough food for the serving.

Food tastes great overall. The sliders are good but could definitely use a bit more sauce since they were a little dry. I highly recommend getting them with fries though -- that combo is really solid! The servers are very attentive compared to other places. They make sure to get your order right, especially one of the girls who mentioned she's been working there for four years. The staff also checks in to see if you need more food or drinks, which shows they really care about the customer experience. The only downside is parking. There's a small lot behind the building or street parking, which can be a bit inconvenient. read more

River and Henley - Filet mignon sliders - New American Near Me - New Milford, New Jersey

We came here for dinner on Saturday night. It was jammed packed, waiting time up to 40 minutes. Luckily they had a closed outdoor area available with heaters on, so we got a table there right away. The inside area seemed very cozy places, with a multiple bar areas, high tables and some couches by the fire place. Different groups were at the restaurant, celebrating different occasions. We started with the Mama;s Empanadas, that came with two big ones. Though the middle part was good, the outer layer of the empanadas were too thick and didn't taste good. For entree, I had to Joanne's Classic burger, that had a good size beef patty, yellow cheese, lettuce and pickles in it. The burned seal on of the bun looked pretty good. I wish they had grilled the bed little bit, cause it got soggy from the sauce and everything in the burger. Though the burger was good, the sliders for my daughter's meal were terrible. The patties were so bland and dry. My wife didn't like her pasta much either. But the best dish of the night was the side of grilled broccoli. The service was really good. Our server and the staff members were very friendly. The dishes came out within short intervals. Despite some of the disappointing dishes, overall the place seemed really well suited for having a good time with companions and a great location for watching sports events together. read more

Local bar restaurant at New Milford. Cozy and festival decorations around the dining area. It also has a patio with heat (covered), still a little cold. Service is great. The staff are all nice and attentive. The host informed us 45 mins wait for inside, but we can sit at patio right away. So we choose the patio. I feel they need to put more heat in the patio area tho. They only have 1 in the center. Food is average. Parmesan crusted chicken with linguine in creamy lemon sauce very lemony. I did not expect that strong citrus flavor. Otherwise the chicken and linguine itself is not bad. Kids burger is a bit dry. Empanadas are not bad, more cheesy than other places. read more

Once again, River & Henley does not disappoint. Went out for dinner and drinks with my friend and everything was on point. I ordered my usual lychee martini (always a hit), the ahi tuna, and added the garlic shrimp all sooo good. Consistent every single time. Shout-out to Josh, my favorite bartender he always takes care of us and makes the experience even better. My friend ordered the mac & cheese and said it was just okay, but overall the food, drinks, and vibe keep me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to spots. read more

Went to this place for the first time last week. When we arrived we had to wait a few minutes but it wasn't too busy. However the first table the hostess brought us to she said you can only sit here for an hour due to a reservation.... Kinda a turn off cause what is the rush to eat and get out ? We were seated at another table. The menu options are good and the food was very good too. They did have a live band which got VERY loud. It's definitely the type of place the kids who just turned 21 go drinking to so if that's not your vibe I would suggest leaving early. All in all I would return and recommend. read more

amazing food! had the prosciutto stuffed garlic knots, crunchy chicken tacos and the bbq chicken salad. all amazing read more

I had my 40th birthday here last Saturday and they did an Amazing job! Our server Nick was Fantastic!! I had a party of 13 and 1 baby. Some of my guests wanted separate checks and he managed to get it all right. He was very attentive! The management was great and kept in touch leading up to my party (I booked almost a month in advance. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food (typical bar food with some flair) and the drinks were strong and some very unique! The atmosphere is fun, casual, a bit loud, but not over the top. I didnt have to scream for someone 3 seats away to hear me. I found they place on a whim googling (bar/restaurants near me) and I definitely plan on going back! Thanks for making my 40th a Great and Memorable Night! read more

There is a parking lot but gets full fast since its shared with other businesses. Theres a small outdoor seating. Inside theres a bar area and the restaurant a good size. A lot of tvs to watch sports. Ordered quesadilla, had a issue with the food but the waiter fixed everything quickly. Weird the quesadilla didn't come with any dips. It did need a bit of seasoning so had to order sour cream. I ordered the breaded chicken with pasta which was delicious. Would definitely recommend it. read more

First time to dine here with my family. Because we had our with us, we opted to sit outside on their patio, which had a few tables and small sofa seating area. I liked interior ambiance. Looked like a nice spot to chill and dine. I normally don't get sandwiches at restaurants, but nothing else caught my eye so I decided to get the Poppin' Steak Sandwich. It had sliced filet mignon which was soo chewy and tough, I barely ate it-- like half of a half. The steak was sliced but not sliced enough for a sandwich. Imagine a big chunk of steak when you bite into it and literally had to pull and rip the steak with my teeth and fingers. For a sandwich being $22.95, I expected the steak to be soft and easy to bite through, but I had a hard time eating it. I do not recommend this sandwich. My sister got the chicken milanese which she liked, her bf (from Cali) got the pepperoni hot honey pizza which he enjoyed, and my mom got the grilled chicken taco bowl and she said it was okay. read more

Really nice sports bar with upscale decor and vibes. Has a sweet fireplace in the center and those super comfy psychiatrist leather couches with the buttons! Lots of TVs, friendly staff and the food menu has a nice wide variety of options without having a 5 page menu.

great bar and service. went here during the NBA finals and they handled the crowd well.

We had been to this location on a few occasions. But had not been since it was River and Henley. I thought it was enjoyable. It was during the holidays, so it was very festive. The place was crowded as they were having an ugly sweater contest later in the evening. I had a delicious pear salad , a burger, and ice cream for dessert. The food was very good, service great, & ambiance perfect. We were a party of 5 and we enjoyed our meals and the evening. I would go back! read more

I love just about everything at River & Henley. It can get a bit loud, but that's simply part of its vibrant atmosphere. I highly recommend making a reservation--otherwise, you may wait a while.

Came to River and Henley on a Sunday, as it's been on my list of places to try- so glad I did because it did not disappoint. When you walk into the restaurant, it has a very homey feel with a cool, hip modern touch. The bar is illuminated and the seating throughout the place is unique, high tops, regular tables and a few couches. Our server Jackie was wonderful and offered up some menu recommendations which we appreciate. They have a ton of daily specials, including a very generous happy hour menu. We ordered the macaroni and cheese, which was tasty, the mushroom ravioli, which was new on their menu and delicious, along with the crispy chicken tacos, that were fantastic. Ended the meal with tartufo for dessert and enjoyed every last drop of it. I can't wait to come back during happy hour and try their other menu items. R&H should definitely be on your list if you're in the Bergen County area. read more

I recently organized a Mom's Night Out event here, and this place didn't disappoint. Amanda was such a great person to have worked with and she made everything so easy. The staff member assigned to us that night, Kayleigh, was also very attentive and helpful. The place was nice, warm and cozy, and we were set up by the window facing the street. The staff also helped out by putting together more tables as the rest of the group trickled in. I enjoyed two rounds of Malibu Rum Breeze and the short rib poutine which was sizable and delicious. I definitely plan to come here again, but with my family, to try out the other items on the menu. read more

I received a packet of coupons in the mail and river and Henley was one of those coupons. I came in with my wife and we had a fantastic experience! The wings were some of the best I've had in the area. The fried mozzarella was also delicious! Service was excellent and I loved the vibe. I will definitely be coming back for a proper dinner. read more

Great food. Meatball app was fresh! Steak was cooked to my specifications. Drinks were poured with a heavy hand. The service, however, was lacking. Slow. The time between dishes was long. The staff was courteous. Lively atmosphere read more

This place was so so, nothing special. We ordered wings because the table next to us ordered them and it looked amazing. Not sure what happened to our wings but they were overcooked and tiny. Consistency might be an issue here. The steak and veggies were decent. read more

Popped in this past weekend and so glad so did. Very lively spot in town-very much needed. Cool vibe with friendly staff, normal burger spot with a cool variety of drafts. Good for families and friends get togethers. I ordered a raspberry lemon drop martini I believer and although it was tasty and sweet it was super weak-definitely no liquor. I would have to stick to beers at this place because my drink was too weak for $13. (Normal price for drink but not without liquor) I'd pay $20 a drink with liquor. read more

This is a fun place with great food, great service and large screens for sports events. The beer menu is amazing. Highly recommended!

Great food especially for the price! The staff is nice and works really hard to keep things timely. The restaurant has a few sections that are nicely decorated. My only complaint is that sometimes it's too loud to take my dad. The volume before 7pm is perfect though! read more

Came in on a Wednesday and it was ladies night with martini & wine specials! Loved the ambiance of the place! Perfect place for girls night out or catching the games on that night. I started with a raspberry lemon drop martini that was to die for. Their menu has a wide array of options. We got the Bavarian pretzel and family style truffle fries to start. Both were delicious and hot. We also got the Sara's salad wood fired pizza and enjoyed every single bite. The service was top knotch. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars (wish I could do 4.5) was because the Restaurant has all the cute decor for taking pictures but the cellular service was super weak for both my Verizon friends and my T mobile self. We asked the waitress if there was WiFi and she told us no.. but when we looked there was 4 different Wi-Fi's listed for the place on our phones. We wanted to post about what a great experience we were having but had to wait until we left. I would absolutely check this place out because you will not be disappointed. read more

I had a fantastic time at this spot! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The owner and her daughters are lovely people who came over to our table and engaged us in conversation and were wonderful. The drinks are great! They have a list of signature cocktails which are absolutely delicious. We tried at least three of them and they were great. The wings were crispy and well seasoned, and the fried calamari with marinara were well done and not chewy as served in most places. We didn't eat anything else as we mostly went there for drinks but the daughter gave me a couple of slices of margarita pizza to try it and they were thin and well cooked. Quite the delicious appetizer! Next time I will order one. The decor in the place is nice with an industrial feel to it, and a great big fireplace in the center of the restaurant, a pretty cool design. Weekends they have a DJ and sometimes live music. The get a nice younger crowd at the bar and I'm sure come summer it will be nice with the large doors and the patio outside. I will be back. read more

I went to this restaurant many yrs ago -it had different owners and not happy with food-now went Sunday totally different in regards to atmosphere and service. Had the wings and calamari both delicious. Had a flight of beers enjoyed not many near by places near Bergenfield that offer this. Had lychee martini AMAZING ! The pizza can't wait to go back and have a full pie we were teased with a few slices. So definitely a very nice place for a family dinner or a festive gathering with friends.

At this point R&H get 4/5 only cuz no restaurant is perfect. But great bar atmosphere for just hanging out at local spot, very good sit down eating environment for kids and adults. Comfortable sports Bar environment. Food is subjective but the basics can be felt proper wings and sauces, red meats look as suppose to, pizzas I thought looked too small for price but when you dig in, it's actually fulfilling. And definitely not cheap with martini drinks... up to the rim.... nice combo of young and older folks atmosphere read more
