• Mediterranean • Northvale

Booked 17 times today

From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

• Contemporary French / American • Irvington

Booked 58 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.

Outdoor dining is open weather permitting. MP Taverna, Chef Michael Psilakis’s modern interpretation of a traditional Greek tavern, is an exciting staple in the Westchester dining scene, located steps from the Metro-North Railroad and a stone’s throw from the Hudson River. Open for lunch and dinner, MP Taverna’s accessible, Greek-inspired menu brings Psilakis’ Greek fare into the American culinary lexicon and is another step towards the chef’s goal of putting Greek cuisine on the culinary main stage.

We had a very good experience for a party of eight, celebrating a milestone birthday. Our server was very helpful, making suggestions that would work best for a large group, and the amount of food was perfect. For all of the food and drinks, the meal was also extremely reasonably priced in my opinion.

This restaurant is exceptional. The food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. The food is so fresh. This place gets it. The Calamari was like butter. The chicken scarp was perfection. My wife had the rigatoni which brought me back to Italia. Give this place a try. The owner Peppe walked each and every table to make sure everything was good. This place takes it to the next level. The service is top notch. We weren't even able to pour our own wine. They were right on top of everything. If I could give 10 stars I would. The decor is perfection, the home atmosphere with a perfect flair makes this place an old school restaurant. They even opened the door as we departed. From the time you walk in you will be treated like royalty.
