   Outstanding. Omid was excellent as our server and bartender. And Memo is an excellent host. We had tuna, swordfish entrees and grilled octopus and lobster ravioli appetizers. A great dining experience.

   We arrived on time and there was an empty table but they would not honor our reservation! They said they were too busy, not enough staff... So besides forcing us to find someplace to eat (we'd driven all the way from Connecticut, the worst was they were not the least bit remorseful or nice about it -- they didn't offer anything like 20% off or a free drink next time we came. Needless to say there will not be a next time.

    Restaurant reneged on commitment made at time of reservation: We booked lunch after being assured by phone that they served lunch using the Hudson Valley restaurant week menu. When we asked to see that menu, we were told that they would not honor that menu. Their stated reason was that one of their staff in the kitchen was out sick – as though the effort of preparing our meal would have been any greater than if we ordered from their regular menu. We had traveled quite a distance for this meal and consider that they reneged on their obligation to honor their phone commitment.

    Great place for an impromptu date night with my husband! So many delicious- sounding choices on the menu… We have to go back! We shared the octopus appetizer, ahi tuna and cod entrees. All were perfect. The flavors melded together so well. The restaurant had a great vibe, staff/owner(?) seemed to know their clientele. It’s on definitely on our list of favorite places.

    I’ve been going to Freelance for 20 years. A family favorite. Never disappointed. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Coconut Shrimp is the best. Never order it anywhere but there. Mussels perfect size and delicious sauce. Cod delightful. Thai Pasta, Short Ribs, salads, soups…. My favorite restaurant

    I guess I'm old school, but i like wait staff that fawns over me. No gets 5 stars unless that happens. It's not a big place, so one "loud-talker" at the bar becomes the ambiance. I had to listen to this guy done on and on about wines around the world and grapes in Russia... Just a tad pretentious if the entire restaurant had to enjoy. Im pretty sure he's a regular, so i suspect the staff is reluctant to quiet him down. At least we learned Russians like sweet wine.

    Excellent food & service along the main street of Piermont, a delightful village on the Hudson near great hiking trails. A little pricey, not surprising in a popular day trip attraction.

    First visit since change of ownership. Service exemplary, pleasant background music, same familiar bar and seating areas. Menu has some old favorites and some new dishes; food good, might be helpful to continue to transition to specialities of the new crew.

    The food at Freelance was fantastic, from the bread to the dessert! My glass of wine was one of the beat I’ve had in a long time, and the meal was delicious. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating. They didn’t rush us and we’re patient when we had to unexpectedly wait for our 3rd guest to join us. Overall a great experience. We’ll be back!

    Beautiful evening outside. A little tacky to serve different bread after the first roll has been consumed. Carbonara was somewhat bland.

    We love the restaurant & have been going forever. We found it very very noisy & in fact the music was turned off because you could not hear it anyway. That the ambience was so different was a disappointment.
