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.

Wonderful menu options at this cozy place where service is so nice. Gourmet food store in front in enticing. We didn’t see our waiter for a half hour at the end of the meal, but we didn’t care, as we had a relaxing time with old friends. Cauliflower bites were too spicy, but I should haves told the waiter I had a spice issue as did our guest. Burgers are wonderful but bun wasn’t soft enough for one guest. Otherwise, it’s the best burger ever, per my husband. This is the best option for dinner in Tarrytown.

This was a first visit celebrating our friendship over the past 40 plus years. It was a late lunch and all aspects from greeting to menu selection were amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was polite, friendly and extremely professional. Overall, this was a great meal and I would definitely recommend Freelance.
