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.

The restaurant offers stunning views of the Hudson River, but the overall dining experience felt overpriced for the quality of the food. Unfortunately, our son’s chicken tenders were overly dry and difficult to eat, and the Caesar salad with salmon was overly oily. On a positive note, my wife’s burger was delicious and stood out as the best dish of the meal—luckily, she was kind enough to share! The service was outstanding, which helped elevate the experience despite the food’s shortcomings.

Servers not around much. Somewhat slow to take orders or appear with food or check. No offers to refill coffee. Management was pleasant and solicitous.

We had a fabulous meal at the Red Hat. Our daughter has Celiac and we had not realized how GF aware they were. Our server was very knowledgable! My daughter had the burger on a GF bun and was shocked at how amazing the bun looked! We will be back!!

Service was friendly, efficient, and non-obtrusive. Food was perfectly prepared and extremely tasty, from the oysters on the half-shell to the beet-and-goat cheese salad and crab cakes to the hanger steak and cioppino. Even the vanilla bean ice cream was wonderful. And the montepulciano was delicious. It was a special occasion that the restaurant made feel special. I have been here many times and always enjoyed it, but it was my companion's first experience and she'd love to return.
