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.

Outdoor dining is open weather permitting. MP Taverna, Chef Michael Psilakis’s modern interpretation of a traditional Greek tavern, is an exciting staple in the Westchester dining scene, located steps from the Metro-North Railroad and a stone’s throw from the Hudson River. Open for lunch and dinner, MP Taverna’s accessible, Greek-inspired menu brings Psilakis’ Greek fare into the American culinary lexicon and is another step towards the chef’s goal of putting Greek cuisine on the culinary main stage.

    Great variety of Saturday brunch / lunch selections ... various poached eggs, including avocado toast, crab cakes, beef burgers, roasted pork, salmon, and nice vegetarian choices. Soup of the day was an excellent squash. One of us ordered a delicious beef burger and the other a very tasty quinoa mushroom spinach burger. Their signature "frites" potatoes were generous and tasty. A shared lemon ricotta cake with berry compote and very good fresh coffee rounded out our lunch perfectly.

    My family and I frequently dine at Donatellas for so many reasons. Everything on their menu - from apps to desserts - are amazing. Their staff is incredibly helpful. Their entire building feels homey and warm. I also love their portion sizes - I always have enough for lunch the next day (if I don't forget it in the car - lol
