Rehearsal dinner location near Rockleigh, NJ

breezijes

I am getting married at the Rockleigh in Rockleigh, NJ in September 2012. Our rehearsal dinner will be on a Saturday night.  We are getting married at St. John's Greek Cathedral in Tenafly, NJ and the rehearsal will be there.  Our hotel will be in Woodcliff Lake, NJ - and most of the wedding party will be staying there for the weekend.

Can anyone recommend a restaurant near Tenafly or Woodcliff Lake that would be a great option for a rehearsal dinner? (We would probably have about 50 people).

Thanks so much!

Our RH recommended Andiamo near Demarest

I personally like Harvest in Closter

what's your price point?  I live in the area and can recommend a few places!

Andiamo is much cheaper than harvest. both are closer to rockleigh than WL.  bacardi grill is also good (in washington township), esty street in park ridge (but pricier), bibiz in westwood, I can name so many!

Andiamo's is a good choice for Italian food as PP mentioned.  Check out Porter House in Park Ridge-- it's a nice steak house.

This is great!  No idea about price point really - just want to see what is out there and decide by whatever is the best option for the large group - keep the recs coming

I just searched an old thread... This was my post from last month... We're in a similar area. 

"Other resturants we've been to before and considered (and ate at along the way): 
Harvest Bistro, in Closter.  Reasonable and willing to work with us.  We would have been able to do a prixfixe menu too.
Waterside in North Bergen
Woodcliff Lake Hilton- GREAT little setup they were offering.
Someone mentioned Biago's in Paramus.. I was just there on Friday for my co. holiday party.  The food was very good.
I've never been but I heard that Maggiano's in Hackenack does a nice family style party for an extremely reasonable price.

My inlaws just booked Bacari Grill in Twp of Washington today for ours... I don't know the prices but it's really nice and the food is great."

PS- I just found out that Bacari is now owned by the owners of the Venetian and Seasons.  I saw our choices for the menu on Thursday night and I am impressed.  If you would like more info/prices I've seen, just PM me

I'm actually in the same boat as breezijes.  I am looking for a rehearsal dinner place that has outdoor dinning or seating for 40 people.  Since we are doing such a formal and elaborate wedding, we'd like a more low key, outside, maybe even a BBQ kind of location for a rehearsal dinner.  We don't live in the area but our extended family does.  Any ideas?
