Red Hat on the River Reviews

Just a great restaurant on the Hudson. Can't beat the outdoor dining with a cocktail and good eats from the menu. Great service. Close to nearby park for after meal stroll

Rooftop bar and drinks are fantastic. Food was delicious, great atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating

Great!! Just be prepared to wait 1.5 hours for a table and enjoy a wonder cocktail or wine with a wonderful view with an appetizer!

This place has a lovely location and a wonderful decor. It was an amazingly pleasant place to sit and talk for a few hours. What kept this place back was the food - it just wasn't worth the prices. The options are all okay, but they lack the distinct identity and flavor I'd like to see in a ~30 dollar entree. The menu also lacks theme or consistency - mussles and fries, burgers, seared tuna, steaks, and avocado toast are all great but don't go beyond "hey people like to eat these so let's serve them and charge a lot for them". If you have a gift certificate, it is worth it. If not, I would not spend the money. The drinks are quite good, so coming just for the bar may be worth it.

The restaurant is awesome and spacious, the food was enchanting and the prices were very economical. rapidly, effective service and very personal waiters. Highly recommended.

Pretty location, the food is ok. A little pricey. Relaxed atmosphere. A good place for a fancy brunch date.

The food was very good but the manager and staff are horrid people. They were very rude to my wife and child and told us we would have to leave becauee customers were complainf about our baby. All the tables around said ahe was the most behaved child they ever seen she didnt make a peep for the entire time we were there. We were never even served our desert rhe manager had it packed before we paid. Worst experience in my life. 100% will never go again not a family friendly place.

Limited outdoor seating. Long wait even with reservations.
Great location for dinning outdoors. Good service once seated. Average food. Expensive drinks. Recommend bloody Mary.

Food was not bad, but some menu items weren't there and was very expensive.

Have eaten here many times and the food and atmosphere is always superb!! Went there for Mother's Day today and it was wonderful. We got there early and were seated right away by a lovely hostess. However, the waitress was sub par. Hardly saw her throughout the meal and a busgirl had to take my second drink order and bring me my check. The busboys and busgirl were way more attentive than the waitress. Aside from the lousy waitress it was an excellent experience and I would recommend it highly!!!

Very nice slightly upscale restaurant overlooking the Hudson River. Quinoa burger was good. Plenty of choices, steak and frites, cubano sandwich, salad nicoise. More relaxed in the bar with high top tables. Good choice an a warm day. Some seating outside along the river. Irvington is an old rivertown and this restaurant is in an old factory. Little bit out of the way (up and over the railroad tracks) but don't give up, worth finding it. Only 10-12 minutes from I-87 or Saw Mill Parkway and close to the Mario Cuomo Bridge.

Besides their brunch, I have never ate here. BUT, their brunch is amazing! And the coffee is great as well. Diverse menu and new twists on old favorites. They also have your favorites. Outstanding restaurant!

Nice selection and tasty menu . Great ambiance in a repurposed industrial complex . With a million dollar view. And wonderful attentive staff. A great find.

Really beautiful place excellent service, great food and so friendly people. I just love it

I gave two stars because location and scenery was nice but service was not my cup of tea my friend asked for the drink menu and d some water while we decided and we never got the water and he never came back to us so we got up and left. I would go back and I cannot recomend this place e

Some of the best crab cakes I've had. Real good mussels too. Steak was a little charred. Overall a great date night experience

Love this restaurant atmosphere, service and of course food delicious

It was a nice location but for the price the staff and good should have by even much better

Amazing views of the Hudson and great food that won't disappoint. Highly recommended!

Wonderful food. Make sure to go up to the rooftop bar

A top spot for tasty french food. The staff was very helpful and welcoming.

Food is out of this world amazing. The Tuna appetizer is the best I've ever had

Great outdoor seating, nice atmosphere, just average food,

I gave Red Hat 3 stars because the service was fine but my eggs Benedict were served over bread that was so hard I asked for a steak knife and bread was cold. Potatoes were completely over cooked and hollandaise sauce had a strange flavor. Not what I expected seems to have gone down hill.

Another winning restaurant. Outstanding menu and service matched only by an outstanding view of the Hudson River. Like X20, everything on the menu is exceptional.

i liked them better when in their old location on main st but the new location on the river is great. food is good but less attention to detail out of the new kitchen.

Ate here for the first time, and every single thing I ate was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. We also asked if we could split a cognac, and they brought it in two separate glasses and we pretty much got two drinks for the price of one.

Nice views great service good food a little pricey

Phenomenal service, food took a little long but we were a party of 11. I had the burger, asked for medium, got medium well but oh well. Still good, great atmosphere.

The food was good, the views were wonderful and our server was great; however, when it was time for us to leave a member of their staff was EXTREMELY rude to a person in my party, so it is doubtful I or any of my friends will be returning to this establishment. Especially since there are other options in the area.

Interesting menu. The waitress was great. Polite and professional. And made sure everything was ok. The restaurant has a great view of the river. And depending on the weather you can eat outside. Great place to relax and have a great meal.

I was out of town and looking for a place to eat dinner with my wife. We found this place while searching online for restaurants in the area. This place has good reviews so we figured we d give it a try. We arrived around 7:00 and the hostess told us it would be a 20 minute wait which was not a big deal because we didn t make a reservation. It was a beautiful evening so we waited outside and watched the sunset over the Hudson River. Exactly 20 minutes later the hostess said our table was ready. Our server took our drink and food order fast. The food came out fast and was delicious. We declined dessert and was there maybe an hour. The prices seemed normal for the area and we would come back if in the area again.

I took my daughter there for her 21st birthday. This place made her feel so special! We had a great view and amazing food! She is a very picky eater so I was surprised how much she liked the food. The staff were awesome! I m telling everyone about this place!

The food is superb and you can't beat the views. Service is very attentive.

The ambience is great the river views are terrific and the food is tops I'm going there tomorrow

Great atmosphere and wonderful service! Food was excellent!

Wonderfully scenic, unique location a water's edge of Hudson River. All is good, a little pricey, it is Westchester....but within reason.

It's a fabulous place. This is one of those rare exceptions, where a beautiful location and fantastic food are not mutually exclusive. Been many times and it is outstanding. Expensive, but worth it.

Nice brunch menu, great service. Didn't rush us out. Overall great experience.

I always enjoy this place! Good drinks + good food + good views = a great time.

Very few vegetarian options. For non-veg it is really good.

Good food, service was slow due to shortage on staff after Covid but very nice.

its just great the food is delicious and the service is one of the best ones I seen.

Excellent service, good food, spectacular view of the Hudson River

Celebrated 25th Wedding Anniversary Dinner, the food, service and ambiance was exceptional.

My go to place for outside dining. Good food. God views. Good service.

I had a company dinner here in early December of 2014 with 4 co-workers, by chance we were celebrating my birthday as well, and it was a great experience .

The service was solid from start to finish, our server Meg was personable and accommodating . Our glasses were never empty . Nice view facing the Hudson- must be great on a summer night on the patio.

The food was excellent- started with the Red Hat salad, which was a good start .The short rib beef bourgignon was top-notch, the Claiborne steak was fantastic, and the double-cut pork was savory and tender as we sampled each other's dishes. Good wine list , and the desserts were a wonderful finish . The profiteroles were decent, not great, but the entire dinner experience was positive, polished, and memorable . We will certainly be returning .We did spend a lot of money here, but we have spent more at other restaurants in Westchester and received less .

Very highly recommended .

Love this restaurant. Scenic view of the Hudson. Great healthy menu, great service and space.

Very nice good service, good food. Nice views

Great service, good food and wonderful views of the Hudson River!

The food was so good here. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly with such a great char. The swordfish was also cooked perfectly and was such a nice cut of fish

Very well organised and convenient spot. They serve large meals and for affordable prices. We enjoyed the menu a lot and the staff members were very amiable and chatty. I recommend this place.

Atmosphere, drinks, food, service - all very good. Been twice. Definitely recommend. Sit upstairs with significant other for a more private romantic feel.

Disappointed with this restaurant. First the bad service. My wife and I waited 45 minutes for a plate of 2 very small pieces of bread with avocado on them. This was $14!! Good thing we had a gift certificate and actually didn t pay for this. We also waited another 45 minutes for our main meals. The salmon I ordered was partially cooked rare. I only ate it because I was very hungry. My wife s meal was the burger and fries. She said the fries were near burnt, probably being the ending of the fries batch that was cooked. We looked at other people s plates and their fries were cooked normally and not very crispy looking at all. The burger my wife ordered said was very salty.

We got the ending bill of 98$ for 2 meals, a very small appetizer, a beer and a sangria. Then the waiter asked us how much tip we add on to our bill which basically put pressure on us to think of a dollar amount. All in all, way too expensive meals and drinks if you don t have a gift certificate. Also, terrible service and food was not good for the price. Definitely don t recommend this place!

Great food with a fantastic view from inside and out!

My uncle's wedding there was juuuust right! Wonderful staff, food was awesome, ambience and setting couldn't be better!

July 1st nice evening great location view always good the whole ambiance is top, but the food is not what it used to be :( very disappointing... My husbands duck was so small it was ridiculous to serve that and my fish tacos were boring and dry, no flavor to it, i asked the waiter if the cook the chef was bored with the menu.... Because the location is perfect they can ask high prizes which is kinda ok but not when your food is just plain boring and not nice..... This was the second time in a short period that we were dissapointed after 1 time you think aahwell next time better.... BUT it wasn't....You guys really should change up the menu and get better in flavours, it seems out dated or so?? Sorry not having any better news....

We made reservations a week in advance and drove an hour to dine there. Pretty disappointed. The staff was disorganized, my mother in law asked for bread 3 times because our food was taking so long. (We got it after the food arrived) She was given the wrong entree. And no one checked on us to make sure things were good. My meal was tasty, so was my husband s but with everything else... definitely would not return

We had indoor seating since you can only reserve indoor and the wait for outdoor was long. We were seated right by a wide open window in a cozy corner just for us. Perfect for our anniversary! The pear vanilla martini was delicious and so were the shishito peppers as a shared starter. The salmon was just okay...served over a cold vegetable salad. My husband had the paella risotto which he liked but didn't blow him away. The desserts were good but again not spectacular.

Service was perfect! Everyone was absolutely lovely and kind and friendly. We felt truly welcomed and taken care of. The view out the window was lovely and we were able to stroll along the river before heading back to our car. Very romantic.

So for the vibe and the people working there it's absolutely lovely and I may go again (though it's a bit of a drive from home) just for the great environment and that pear martini.

Dinner on Sunday evening. Service was fair. Food was wanting. Not our 1st visit but our last. Cost $180 per couple. Little value.

Beautiful location, right on the Hudson. Friendly service. Food was quite good, just a bit overpriced in my opinion.

10/10 DEFINITELY recommend. Beautiful view, peaceful aura, great drinks, kind & attentive wait staff. Food is also 10/10.

A beauty Hudson river view, very good place to a family dinner or a date

This place is as wonderful as ever, great food spectacular setting on the Hudson River.

Multi level cozy restaurant with good but not exceptional food and Hudson River views. Server was friendly.

Great ambience, food, and amazing view! Made our anniversary special.

Went for Easter dinner last weekend. Great location with beautiful river views. Our server was just the right amount of attentive and everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The cauliflower appetizer was amazing - we just wished the portion was a little bigger!

Loved everything about this place! Definitely coming back!

Food is ok. The restaurant and location is beautiful.

Love this place. Wonderful food selection. Wonderful sunsets & service.

We had a romantic time. Food was "decent" (I had my tuna cooked too much for the lack of sauces/marinade/toppings to be offered) - crab "cake" is just that, no fancy lump meat - the one piece of bread is good, so keep asking for more rounds to = 3 to be quarter full, lol and the Strawberry Sangria is to drink if you're on a date. One glass is a strip tease at home, 2 or more someone's getting laid. Delicious AND effective. Wonderful ambiance for love or first impression.

Great good. Nice view if you are dinning outside. Friendly staff.

Excellent lunch and dinner choices. Modern meat, fish and easy courses available. Good service.

My meal was so fresh and yummy. Great staff and lovely views.

I had the veggie burger on Monday and it is the best veggie burger I had. Service was ok, drinks took awhile.

Great gem on the Hudson, beautiful views, great service and food. Will definitely go back!

Great view. Rose Sangria was refreshing. We had mussels, they were fresh but missing something.
