Review Red Hat On The River - Irvington

Went here on a cold November Monday and was very pleased with my experience! Food was amazing. Highly recommend the Artichoke and spinach dip, Red hat burger, and the butternut squash curry. Their zero proof (non alcoholic drinks) were also great. They even wished my significant other a happy birthday. Wasn't too packed on Monday when they opened up but I suggest you make a reservation during their weekend hours. From service, staff, ambience and the food - everything was AMAZING. Highly recommended!

I went for NY restaurant week with two new friends I had made. The experience of eating by the water & watching the sunset is next level amazing. Margaret was so kind, attentive & very fabulous! She is probably one of the most fabulous & stylish servers I have met in a long time. The $45 menu is absolutely worth it. I got the carrot ginger soup which was very delicious & felt healthy & fresh. I was so in the moment with the whole vibe of the restaurant & my company that the branzino is the only thing I stopped to take a photo of because I expected a tiny filet BUT got a full fish & it was so lovely! A wonderful surprise. The dessert I got was warm lemon cake & it was the perfect amount of sweetness & flavor. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a very exquisite dining experience by the water that won't break the bank. Oh, I almost forgot their cinnamon tea is sooooo good on a cold day. Definitely start your experience off with a nice cup of tea if you go in the winter!

Outside seating on the banks of the Hudson River. Relaxing. Great food. Prices are moderate but the food is fresh and delicious! Good selection of beer. Cocktails. Wine. First time but definitely not my last. Very attentive wait staff.

My husband and I went there for our first anniversary dinner. It was a sublime shared experience. Everything was superb especially the anchovy toast. Though I did not know what to expect when I ordered it, my tastebuds were delighted with this unusual appetizer. We will surely visit again next time we are in the area.

Food was good, the service was great and the sunset and Mario Cuomo bridge were gorgeous.

Gorgeous restaurant on the Hudson. Exceptional space inside and out. Started with drinks on the roof deck and dinned in the main room. Service, ambiance and food were exceptional. Apps and snacks set the tone for a great meal. Bone in dry aged sirloin frites blew me away. Fun vibe that perfectly melds upscale and casual. A+ all around.

Came here with my wife on Friday for Father's day weekend dinner date. The views are beautiful and they have 2 out door options, one infront by the water and a rooftop deck. It was very windy so we chose to sit inside and there was not a wait. The drinks were delicious and my steak and fries were cooked perfectly. My wife got a fried Brussel sprout salad that she didn't really like. I hate Brussel sprouts so I didn't taste it. It's a beautiful restaurant a little pricey but we knew that coming in and definitely worth coming back especially for the view.

This French Bistro has beautiful Hudson River views with an exceptional wait staff to match. The food did not disappoint and was very good. We had the baby beet salad that was a delicious combination of roasted baby beets, fresh apples, arugula and creme fraiche. The mussels were prepared in a savory white wine, garlic and shallot broth. The smoked salmon sandwich was light, delicious but had added complexity with the egg salad, fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The quinoa burger was exceptional preparation of a vegan burger with spinach, quinoa which was flavorful and tender without breaking apart with every bite. The pickled onions gave it enough acidity to complement the avocado and spiciness of the aoli of the quinoa burger. The kid's cheeseburger was juicy, not too fatty even when cooked well done. Their housemade shoestring fries were the best! We loved the shoestring fries. The roasted chicken was tender, delicious, and complex with multiple layers of being smoked and then roasted accompanied with a savory and sweet Israeli couscous. The Red Hat burger was juicy and delicious, and now we understand why it is a popular choice. The dessert selection did not disappoint. We had the something chocolate and the key lime pie. The something chocolate was a smooth, decadent flourless chocolate cake. The key lime pie was a light refreshing delicate delight. The cocktails also did not disappoint. We look forward to returning to this Hudson Valley gem.

Great ambiance, food, and service. Loved the brunch, then spent some time at the rooftop.

Fantastic meal with an amazing view!! Would highly recommend reservations for the weekend. They did not have any tables available on a Saturday night but we were thankfully able to eat at the bar. We were still able to see the beautiful sunset on the river out of the restaurant's windows as we were eating dinner. We were given complimentary potato chips at the bar which were so tasty and clearly homemade. Our actual meals were absolutely delicious. We ordered a strawberry and arugula salad with chicken paillaird and the banh mi rice bowl. Could not recommend either enough. Drink options were also great having got the Mezcal cocktail and a glass of red wine. The bartender was definitely also one of the highlights for us as he was extremely friendly and courteous. The price of food and drinks is on the upper end but it was very much worth it given the view and atmosphere of the place. We will absolutely plan to make a trip out here just to be able to eat at this restaurant again.

I reserved 2 seats for my wife and I literally 1hr before going and was able to get a great seat for our birthday celebration. The food was perfect! One of the best burgers I had in a long time. They paid attention and actually gave me a medium cooked burger with aged cheddar. The fries were also perfectly cooked nice n crispy. My wife's salad was fresh and nicely portioned. My favorite part are the little warm up snacks they provide before and after your meal. A nice little touch to the classy interior and wonderful views of the Hudson River. Keep in mind this was winter time, I will definitely be coming back this summer to enjoy that rooftop deck.

It's an amazing restaurant. The food is incredible. The desserts are super delicious. Drinks are amazing. You have to go! The view and the sounds of the water make the plus 😍 so in love of the place.

Excellent restaurant. Never had a bad dish. Love the ambience & the view of the Hudson River. Friendly, attentive staff. My go to place for special occasions or when I want to impress someone. PS: the key lime pie! 🥰 I give it 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟

Red Hat on the River was spectacular. From the moment I walked in I new I was going to have a good time. The host are friendly and accommodating and the servers and very ate and professional. We sat outside since it was nice summer day. The view though can't be match for that price. On one side you have the Cuomo bridge and in the other the George Washington Bridge in the distance and topped with the palisades right in front of you. Another plus is that there is free parking accessible for guests and the train station is 2 minutes away walking. By far one of the best restaurants by the water that I have ever been. This is a true gem. The burger was cooked perfectly and so were the sword fish tacos. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or anyone that lives in the area and still has not been to this restaurant. The key lime pie is a must. #paradise #redhat #view #vibes #ambient

I arrived on a Friday around noon hoping to sit outside. I dine alone often & felt very comfortable here from the minute the hostess was so friendly to me. Solo diners are often made to feel uncomfortable when they take up a table. I didn’t feel that way here. I had the lobster roll & a glass of Rose & they both were excellent. You can’t beat the views. I will 100% return
