    It always feels like home when we return to the Hohokus Inn for a fabulous Saturday night dinner with friends. we are always warmly greeted at the door and treated with white gloves for the entire evening. So glad to see that the lobster roll has made it back for the summer menu as well as the zucchini blossoms and the standard Asian calamari that’s always a hit . Junior is the master of ceremonies extraordinaire . there is only one Hohokus Inn that can never be imitated and its uniqueness Homie, classic atmosphere and outstanding food We will be back
