• Contemporary French / American • Irvington

Booked 48 times today

Nestled on the waterfront in Irvington, New York, Red Hat on the River is an American modern bistro serving satisfied diners since 2003. There's hardly a seat in the house that does not offer a spectacular view of the Hudson river. Banquettes and a pewter bar accent the space while the walls of this 100-year old renovated factory building are adorned with WPA-era art evoking a feeling of a turn of the century Parisian bistro. Evolving from a humble bistro on main street to a bustling restaurant on the river with a rooftop bar, Red Hat's commitment to providing the very best experience for their guests has always remained the same. Try the classic menu standards of steak frites, moules frites, country terrine, and the Red Hat burger. Seasonal salads, sandwiches, and seafood entrees round out the menu. The bar offerings of creative craft cocktails, local draft beer, and old world style wines complete the experience. Private events range from corporate dinners to weddings.

Everything was absolutely outstanding! The three of us shared the octopus starter, beet salad starter and scallop sashimi starter and they were all AMAZING- There wasn’t a single thing left on any of our plates. For dinner I had the signature branzino over roasted potatoes, olives and tomatoes- spectacular. It literally had just come out of the pan. Wonderful space, kind and prompt service. A fantastic touch to have the owner, Chef Michael Psilakis, come to our table more than once to check in. We’ve admired him for many years on Food Network and was thrilled to find this was his restaurant. They absolutely care about what they are doing here and it shows. Perfection. We’ll be back soon, we’re still talking about it even the next day!
