    Great fine dining in a Hudson Riverside village. Piermont NY is just a beautiful sleepy waterfront village with more than a few fine restaurants. This is one of them. Wonderful attentive service. Great ambiance. Food is superb! Octopus appy is off the charts.

    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.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The food was beautifully prepared and tastefully plated. The noise level was the only thing that detracted from a wonderful evening as it is a small place and it was packed with full tables with people trying to talk to one another.i had trouble hearing my boyfriend across the table from me! We will definitely go back at a less crowded time!
