    Freelance While a myriad of restaurants are located in picturesque Piermont, (a lovely Hudson River town) Freelance sets the bar high, so much so that we return again and again. Freelance serves consistently delicious food by a very attentive, hospitable, and warm staff (extra special kudos to the truly accommodating, affable and attentive Joe and Omid.) While Freelance is quite small, the consistently excellent food and service elevate Freelance to our favorite restaurant in all of Piermont and Nyack. Even though Freelance is tiny, the ambiance is sleek, uncluttered, pleasant and inviting. Daily specials are offered in addition to the already appealing menu. The appetizers (small plates) include tasty coconut shrimp, Caesar salad, wedge salad and butter lettuce salad. The salads are fresh and perfectly dressed with homemade dressings. The coconut shrimp is tasty. We also enjoyed the delicious composed entrees (large plates) including the NY strip steak with fries (outstanding), swordfish, shrimp pesto and salmon. The entrees are perfectly cooked to order, accompanied by a fresh green vegetable (spinach, green beans or snow peas) and rice or potato. Each entree is so well executed, with attention to detail, and prepared exactly as requested. The homemade apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the perfect end to an already wonderful meal. With excellent service and scrumptious cuisine, Freelance is such a cozy spot for an utterly enjoyable evening!

    Invited a friend to celebrate her birthday at this special place in Piermont. Sat at the bar and had excellent cocktails and service. Started with a beet salad and escargot followed by filet mignon and soft shell crabs, all prepared to perfection. Looking forward to my next visit and wonderful service and food

    The cafe was charming and we loved the background music (soft jazz). The waiter was great in seeig a few more mussels landed on my appetiser so I could share with my husband, and they were small but delicious. My husband had a very good swordfish dinner but was not crazy about the mango on top. My iceberg wedge salad hit the spot. What we definitely did not like were the prices -- too expensive for us to consider returning, unfortunately.

    I get the feeling that unless you are a “regular “ here , you pretty much just get mediocre service

    Haven't been there in a few years but it is still terrific. Probably the best meal in Piermont.
