Red Hat - Table reservation

My wife and i came here for linch about 6 months ago and it was ok, last night they were the only restaurant in the area that had a table available without a reservation. We were sat quickly and the waiter came and got drink orders quickly, delivered drinks and took app and main orders. Apps came out, along with our son's chicken fingers and fries. I got french onion soup and my wife got nonas meatballs. My soup was gross, the onions were sliced, diced and minced almost like it was a hodgepodge on left over onions made i to a soup.

A nice place along the Hudson River. I'm not a huge fan of industrial ambiance, but I liked it here, perhaps because of the view of the river and the attempt to make the interior look like a French bistro. Irvington has a lot of former factories and warehouses along the river that have been converted into restaurants, offices, even the public library, so Red Hat is among those. The smoked salmon sandwich was good, as was the side salad, but $24 was a bit steep for a lunch I could have easily made at home. I thought it would be served a little more elegantly, and perhaps on a multigrain baguette rather than toast. Service was attentive and courteous.

YES! What's not to like? Keep up the great work Red Hat. The ambiance felt like a party you want to be invited to. The food was flawless, and the service sublime. We ordered the ricotta cake for desert and were raving about it the next day. Thank you. See you again soon.
