About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Very disappointing. Bottle of white wine was warm. Bartender changed a keg and sprayed beer all over my wife and I and did not even notice or care. Just a poor dining experience. Food not terrible but not good either.

    As always, a classic spot on the Hudson River. It was a rainy day and just felt so good to meet a girlfriend for a late lunch by those high lovely windows watching boats go by. We enjoyed Mint tea, Salmon Nicoise, a quinoa burger and fries. Service is always the best!!
