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.

At The Parlor, diners can experience the delicate, wood-fired soul of Neapolitan pizza spun with carefully-sourced, local, and seasonal ingredients. Look for an ever-changing array of classic and innovative pies that simultaneously deliver bold flavors and a clear conscience. Plus, along with pizza, The Parlor offers small plates that touch on the whole spectrum of culinary experience. Look for rustic salads, wood-roasted vegetables, and delicately smoked wings. This is food cooked by chefs who care (mostly because this is what they like to eat themselves). At The Parlor, we offer scissors as an alternative to us cutting your pie, ultimately empowering the diner and creating a playful, efficient way to share with your friends. Alongside a fork and knife, scissors have been the standard in Italy for centuries. Trust us: they work better—plus, you can cut any size slice you like.

Ideal Sunday brunch. The pianist was wonderful - I didn’t catch his name but he is of Cuban-Venezuelan background. Even if the food was horrible, the music would have made it worth the trip. However, the food was excellent. Better yet, the bill for two people with 4 Bloody Mary’s and entrees and coffee and share dessert was $100. Not bad at all! Totally worth it.

We’ve been going to the Cookery since it opened in 2009. We have developed an emotional connection with the restaurant. And the outstanding food isn’t the only reason. Dave DiBari pours his heart ❤️ into every plate that leaves their small kitchen. You can sense the passion with the wait staff and the other diners. We love going there and enjoying the total experience that the Cookery offers.
