About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    Nice location. Food was good and nicely presented Service could be a tad better (for example, drink came after the food). Apparently if you want bread you have to ask for it. (Or at least we did). Have no idea if there is a wine list. No one asked if we wanted one. However, the variety of wine by the glass on the menu is very limited. It's little things like that that impact an experience. If you're hankering for an outside experience, know that it's basically some tables and chairs right outside, not a truly special area.

    Excellnt food, The hamburgers are one of the best in the area. The special Beef Bourgogne was very well made and delicious. The service could have been better. The waiter took out order and left. Fodd came quicklyl, but instructions were not heeded. I wanted "no cheese" but that's what I got. Cheese. Still delicious, as I didnt want to start over!, Desseert was excellent. Coffee was ordered with "no Milk" but with cream or half and half. Order came delivered with hot milk. Took a long time to get our waiter back and had to get a another staff person to get the half and half. Our waiter had too many tables. Lot's of other busboys and waiters milled around. Using a handheld device to order is OK, but notes must be taken care of wither on or off the tablet. Fortunately, it was a very good meal and of course we will be vak as we have visited this restaurant many times.

    One of our party has a severe hearing disability and the staff made every attempt to seat us in a location that was sheltered from most of the noise.

    Have dined here several times. Always delightful and satisfying. Great location looking out on Hudson River with Tappan Zee and GW Bridges at either end. Tucked away from the crowds in this riverside park area of Irvington. Restaurant is comfortable with tables just far enough apart to create privacy. Service is attentive and constant. Food is outstanding. Winter specials Mon, Weds, Thurs, make frequenting Red Hat easy. You can eat at the bar, at a high-top area in the bar, or in their dining area down or upstairs. Highly recommended!!!
