You are bidding on a $50 gift certificate for The Red Hat in Irvington.

"The Red Hat began as a lark in 2003. We longed for a bustling friendly bistro in Irvington. Why not create it?

With a little luck, a lot of work and the continued support of our friends, the Red Hat enjoyed four and a half years on Main Street. We've now moved to a new location at One Bridge Street on the Irvington waterfront. The spectacular Hudson River views make Red Hat on the River a truly special experience.

Our philosophy is simple: strive for excellence in food and service, use only the finest quality ingredients in our preparations, and create a dining experience that prompts our guests to return again and again.

Ruth Reichl said it well in the New York Times when she described the famous André Soltner of Lutece: "Mr. Soltner may have been a great chef, but he was an even greater restaurateur. He knew how to do more than feed people - he knew how to make them happy."
