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.

We’ve been going to the Cookery since it opened in 2009. We have developed an emotional connection with the restaurant. And the outstanding food isn’t the only reason. Dave DiBari pours his heart ❤️ into every plate that leaves their small kitchen. You can sense the passion with the wait staff and the other diners. We love going there and enjoying the total experience that the Cookery offers.

The food was amazing, fresh salads, steaks done to perfection! The service was also incredibly attentive and friendly. Unfortunately there was a very loud and rowdy party going on that permeated the ambience. We couldn't even hear ourselves talk. Would highly recommend this restaurant otherwise.

We were greeted by the warm and friendly staff, setting the tone for a great dining experience. For dinner we had a wonderful bottle of white wine and enjoyed the tender and flavorful octopus meze, followed by the fresh branzino fish with a classic greek salad. The food was authentic and we highly recommend.
