Two New Jersey Restaurants Land Spots on OpenTable’s Top 100 US Restaurants List
Stella: Ventnor City, NJ
Stella has held onto its place on this coveted list since 2018. The cozy BYOB spot, where Nicholas LoBianco and his son, Vincent, create American dishes. Featuring cutting-edge dishes like Chicken Cotoletta and Short Rib, it’s easy to see why this weekend-only restaurant grabbed a spot on the top 100 list again.
- Location: 7303 Ventnor Ave., Ventnor City, NJ
- Hours: Fridays and Saturdays, seating begins at 5:30 p.m.
Saddle River Inn: Saddle River, NJ
Nestled in Bergen County, you’ll find the charming Saddle River Inn. This old barn, now a high-end French-American restaurant, has received several awards, including (201) Magazine’s Best of Bergen list in 2018 and 2019, The New York Times Excellent list, and OpenTable’s top 100 list. Chef Jamie Knott changes the menu twice seasonally, but currently, it features savory dishes like Veal Tenderloin Parmigiana and Colorado Lamb Chops.
- Location: 2 Barnstable Court, Saddle River, NJ 07458
- Hours: Tuesdays through Saturdays, 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
