Red Hat on the River Review

Wish the had more california chardonnay options. Wine is a bit pricey for the short pour

Lovely spot on the river. Sit outside and enjoy the stunning view. Good drinks, tasty food and good service.

Update August 2020: had another wonderful lunch here, tasty burger, precautions in place and lovely view over the river.

Exceptional service only to be out done by the food. Great location with a spectacular view of the Hudson River. The ambience, unbelievable. Totally recommend it.

I came from the city to try this place, it is less than a 2 minute walk from the Irvington Metro-North Station, and it was worth the $20 I spent for me and my date to get there. I had the Atlantic Swordfish Provencal, my date had the Grilled Loch Duart Scottish Salmon, and we both had the Sweet Potato Pancetta. The drinks were expensive, but the view, the food, the service and ambiance made it all the worth while. I cannot wait to visit this place again.

We came for a friends birthday and staff very great and food was perfect. Bring your friend and family for a great evening.

One of the best French Restaurant in Westchester County.

Wonderful elegant dining experience. Superb food and service in a riverside setting. Will definitely come back.

great view.
nice roof top bar.
they do not take reservation for outside seating.
food is good but overpriced.

Beautiful views of the river and the palisades. Self serve drinks is you want to sit outdoors; no food served outside. Pricey.

Awesome staff, our server went out of his way to make sure I got the cocktail I wanted (michelada)

Very nice place on the Hudson. The upstairs rooftop bar is lovely, with comfy chairs and couches and a great view. Outdoor seating downstairs on the patio is quite pleasant. The food is excellent and staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking.

Great food. Excellent views. Nice staff. Fast service.

The view by the water is very relaxing. Service is excellent! The appetizers are delicious, the entrees can be better.

Serene view of the Hudson River. Romantic and sociable. Great for our kids and celebrating anniversaries. We came 5 yrs ago and decided to return to share our special day. All the way from Brooklyn, we passed many lovely places... still enjoy this place immensely.

beautiful location, we enjoyed the food. Ladies night. Expect to spend.

Always a pleasure to enjoy Red Hat. The views alone are worth it. The service was perfect. My steak was cooked well but needed some seasoning. Will definitely be back.

Seafood and chicken is great, steak not so much. Nice place right by the river.

I used to go here all the time from 2015-2017. Service was always great, attentive, and the food was AMAZING. In 2018 this place started going down hill. My steak wasn t fresh it was definitely reheated...Service was also very bad and disrespectful. I decided to give red hat on the river another chance this week, at least my steak was freshly grilled this time but the taste was just meeh, service wasn t great either. Also love how the prices went up significantly in the past two years.

Best meal in ages. Try their key lime pie! And the view is sweet.

This is one of our favorite places, great river views (can see both TZB and GWB) with a sophisticated Jazz accent, food very good, service crisp and friendly.

Overpriced to accommodate the social "elite" that frequent this restaurant. The view is incredible, but there are much better river view options when it comes to food.

Great views, decent beer selection. Prices for food are steeper than the actually quality of the food. You're paying for the location, which at times is worth it.

We are a long time customer. Great scenery. Best time to be is 2 hours before sunset. Foods and dessert used to be better and the price used to be a lot lower. The best part, they served dessert with dinner fork now. :(

Best place to be are either on the roof deck or patio outside.

Its an oK fancy restaurant. Prices are high and food portions are small. They have a view tho. They want to follow Covid rules but dont enforce it. Its literally walk with a mask and take it off as soon as you enter and nobody will say anything about it. Drinks are $15 a pop but they are good. We had the Paella, barely enough for 1 and it was good. We also had the beet Poke, its a salad nothing else. No fish.

You get what you pay for, a lot. Views are like no other, professional staff, great food, good beers, nice atmosphere.

Amazing food and service. Right on the water. Great atmosphere for date night. Expensive.

This is one of my favorite Westchester restaurants. You can t beat the scenic location on the Hudson River with views of the Tappan Zee bridge and NYC to the south plus the eclectic ambiance, great food and service. I Recommend!

Beautiful afternoon celebrating our bride to be!
Fabulous location!
Excellent perfectly cooked food and wonderful service!
Can't wait to go back!!!

We had a reservation but it was not crowded on Monday night. Very good experience - service was fast, food was delicious, river views were superb!
Staff was very attentive, their timing was perfect on everything. They are really paying attention to details, like empty water glass, napkin on a floor, extra fork, etc. But not hovering over patrons, we felt comfortable.
We were all really pleased with this visit.

The staff was great, my only complaint is that my dinner wich was flat iron steak was 4 ounces if that. Flat iron steak is not a high end cut of beef so that was disappointing.

Nice views of the river, food well prepared. Attentive service, a bit pricey.

Excellent selection of food with a nice view of the Hudson River. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food that is served. I will be back.

Terrific location, right on the river, great Moules Frites and wines by the glass. Staff attentive but not cloying.

Wonderful food! Nice atmosphere. I'm guessing on a nice warm day, sitting on their patio should be lovely.

Such a fabulous hidden gem.
We ve had drinks on the rooftop and both brunch AND dinner here many times.
From a first date or group get together, we highly recommend going. Reservations first of course

I was so disappointed by the food here. I just moved to Sleepy Hollow from the city last year and I ve been missing some of my favorite restaurants. I had high hopes for this place but our entrees were very, very bland. Well-cooked but no flavor. My sister also went recently and had the same experience.

Went last night for my wife's birthday. Service was excellent. We were seated quickly and had an attentive courteous staff that paid attention to our every need. French menu had a tasteful selection of choices. Everything we ordered was excellent! We are so impressed that my wife said the next day her taste buds are STILL satisfied! (And that's saying a lot!) I must repeat, don't think twice about going here. You won't be disappointed!

The food was delicious and the service was great. And a great view of the Hudson River!

upstairs seating is intimate and quiet. downstairs is more lively atmosphere. a reservation is strongly recommended for fri or weekend nights.

Had the pre-fix menu during Restaurant Week and it was amazing all the way through. Had the Hanger Steak, which can be had 3 ways, and it was cooked to perfection. Ambiance was cozr with Hudson River views from any seat. Parking was excellent and the staff was extremely courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. A definite keepernon the restaurant rotation. Delicious thumbs up

The service was poor and the food mediocre. The waitress was missing for most of the 75 minutes we waited and waited to be served the next course. She never returned to ask for a second drink order which was disappointing because it was the one very good part of the meal... The Sea Scallops were salty. And only half of our dessert order was delivered; the second dessert arriving much later. This was overall a poor dining experience.

The views are great. Outdoor dinning works when the wind is not too extra.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Excellent food and service. Great views of the Hudson.

Had a great time there Restaurant Week wonderful service

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Beautiful view!

Good food, large space. Veg options are meh. Beet poke was different and tasty.

Recently visited the Red Hat and specifically it's roofrop bar overlooking the river. Location and charm of the renovated warehouse is nothing short of amazing. The view from the roof is beatiful especially during the evening. Can't speak to the food since my group did not have any. Two stars because of the two rude and un professional bar tenders working the rooftop bar on 8/20/16 otherwise great place.

Up on the roof in the summer with a $16 drink in your hand? Part sublime, part wallet busting. Good food and ambiance throughout but you have to be able to afford it. Smack on the river.

Not allowed to bring a 4 lbs yorkie because I did not not the emotional service dog papers with me. Horrible service.

Great spot with friendly service, delicious food, and great views!

Beautiful location, nice view and great service. Food is Ok.

Nice atmosphere in a beautiful setting on the river!

Recovery of an industrial complex made on a human scale.

I just love this place...The only thing I think can be corrected is that you have to have a phone in order to see the menu due to the pandemic...What if you don't have a phone? Why not print cheap disposable paper menus for the customer? They can be disposed of after all ordering is done..I found the phone menus inconvenient, when paper menus can be a resolution and make it easier for the customer... Other exclusive restaurants do this...Other than that, great food, great service and wonderful atmosphere whether sitting inside or out! A bit pricey, though, for the size of the food portions ..

Good food, fast service, and a fantastic view of the river! There's a beautiful rooftop bar (drinks only, no food) on the third floor with a gorgeous view of the Hudson River and the NYC skyline in the distance. I ordered the Steak Fritas - I would give a 6/10, it was good, but not quite matched with the price. (I will say, it was properly cooked - I ordered rare, and it actually did come rare). Atmosphere was wonderful. Overall restaurant was a very nice location, my company did really enjoy their food more than I did mine. Would definitely return and order something else!

Wow. Such a special place. Went for a rehearsal dinner and Red Hat nailed it. Service was not only thorough and readily available but also so nice and easy going.

The venue itself was beautiful. We arrived at sunset and caught the sun setting as Manhattan skyline slowly lit up. Great photo ops from restaurant patio.

Definitively recommend!

Loved everything about this restaurant: the location, the decor, the menu, and the entire staff. It was my first time there, I am definitely going back. Plus, I am referring it to everyone I know!

View is why you'd come here. Food is great too and very good cocktails. Just be prepared to shell out Nyc rooftop bar prices here

Red Hat on the River was a great find. A very unique place with spectacular views of the Hudson River and great natural lighting! Sunday brunch was outstanding. The brioche French toast was delicious and drinks were perfectly made. The decor was a delight to view and the overall ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable. One of the best parts - the overall service. The Manager really shined. She was attentive friendly and had a really good presence and rapport with seemingly all customers and staff. She was a delight to speak to every time she stopped by our table. We look forward to returning soon!

They did not honor our reservation. unprofessional

The ambience was fine. The service was on point. Nothing beats water front
dining. The food was delicious.

Very bad attention and the worst food I would never return to this place

Delicious food, staff and waiters are very attentive. Beautiful atmosphere. If you go here, order the Moules (mussel) frites or steak frites with red wine sauce, they will not disappoint.

Beautiful view of the Hudson River.
Went there for lunch. Sitting outside you are right on the river.
Went there during the pandemic and felt totally secure with social distancing rules.
Excellent food.
Expensive. Hamburger is $22 with very good French fries. Crab cake sandwich was also $22. Big lumps of crab. Came with excellent salad which included peaches, apples, feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
Want to go back.

Red Hat on the River was spectacular. From the moment I walked in I new I was going to have a good time. The host are friendly and accommodating and the servers and very ate and professional. We sat outside since it was nice summer day. The view though can't be match for that price. On one side you have the Cuomo bridge and in the other the George Washington Bridge in the distance and topped with the palisades right in front of you. Another plus is that there is free parking accessible for guests and the train station is 2 minutes away walking. By far one of the best restaurants by the water that I have ever been. This is a true gem. The burger was cooked perfectly and so were the sword fish tacos. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or anyone that lives in the area and still has not been to this restaurant. The key lime pie is a must.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, good selection of beers.

We haw a great time the food woos excellent service woos excellent u would highly recommend this place to all mi family and friends

I have eaten here about a dozen times and used to look at the menu. I don't look at the menu anymore I just order the best Pork Chops on the planet. The sauce and sides are perfect also. If you are with a party of four or more order the mussels dinner as a table appy (wonderful), make sure you ask for extra rolls (good rolls) to dip in the sauce. The atmosphere is great. not only are you right on the Hudson but you get great sunsets over the Mountain and a view of NYC to your south. Our favorite restaurant, PERIOD!!!! People who rated less then 3 stars just cant be pleased. If it is going to be your first visit I promise you it will be outstanding. Ask for a table downstairs when making reservations.

Had the most beautiful night here. Food was great. Service was great. View was great! loved everything about this place

Kind service, quality ingredients, and a nice view of the water to boot!

The food at this restaurant was very good and my staff was very informative and pleasant. Recommended!

Absolutely a spot worth visiting, the food is fantastic and fresh, the costs are fair and it is constantly neat here. Highly recommended.

Always excellent food and service with a beautiful view of the Hudson.
