• Contemporary French / American • Irvington
Booked 28 times today
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.

    It was nice. And that’s really all I can say. Was not entirely thrilled with flavor and for what they charge, you’d expect some serious innovation and creativity. We had a few things, a few of our waiters favorites, mostly seafood (apparently what they are known for) and so I was expecting more from our selections. Leaving little curiosity for the rest of the menu. It was good quality food but nothing was amazing, pretty standard. Desert and coffee was the best part. The ambiance, view and decor are beautiful but I don’t see any reason to return.

    Benjamin’s is by far our favorite restaurant in Westchester. We done there a few times a month, and always celebrate special occasions there. All of the staff treats you as if you are family. One of the many amazing waiters, Granite has memorized each of our drink and food orders. The food is also amazing and no other steakhouse in Westchester can compare. Always an amazing experience at Benjamin’s.

    So nice to go on a quiet Thursday afternoon and take advantage of their special chicken parmigiana. The hamburger was as juicy as always.

    Chef Scott Fratangelo keeps reinventing himself. A magnificent filet mignon with chestnut purée and oyster mushroom cream sauce with dijon was as superb as anything you would receive in any super high ended restaurant anywhere. Chef Heather’s desserts continue to shine and surprise, of late a sensational eggnog panna cotta and intense warm chocolate tart. Sous Chef Mike is such an asset. Server Javier is the best there is and Francisco has been mixing some mean cocktails. After 11 years, L’Inizio continues to dazzle. Do make sure you try a meal here as you will not be disappointed.

    This place is just awesome! As soon as you walk in you are treated like you've been there 1000 times. People are warm, friendly and actually happy to see you. The music is awesome, the ambiance is just great. You feel comfortable. The food is outstanding!! Love to see what the secret sandwich is. The chef pairs flavors together like no other chef I've seen. Everything is just delicious. The service is impeccable. The waiters and waitresses are at your beck and call, if you need anything they are right there but not hovering over you. They space the meal out nicely so you're never wondering when your food is coming. The drinks are great too. I live across the river and have to take a bridge to get there but it is worth all my time and travel. Make a reservation today! You won't be sorry.
