X2O Xaviars on the Hudson
Yonkers
Chef Peter Kelly’s glass-walled New American restaurant with 25-foot- high ceilings, set on a pier in Yonkers, is Westchester’s go-to spot for everything outstanding: meal, service, ambiance, and views. The grilled Portuguese octopus, wild mushroom risotto, and butterscotch pudding are reasons to make a reservation, as is the unlimited Champagne brunch.

The Cookery
Dobbs Ferry
Chef David DiBari’s nose-to-tail restaurant has a reputation for a blaring rock playlist and putting offal (pig’s head donuts, bone-marrow rigatoni) center stage. But it’s the homey dishes — milky house-made mozzarella, tender meatballs, lamb Bolognese, and crispy pork osso buco — that steal the show. Get a group together and book in advance for the whole-roasted pig dinner.

MP Taverna
Irvington
Michelin starred NYC chef Michael Psilakis’ only Westchester restaurant is this Greek taverna with modern sensibilities. Menu highlights include the smoky grilled octopus, expert- ly prepared whole fish dressed simply with lemon and olive oil, and light, pil- lowy dumplings mixed with bits of spicy lamb sausage, sun-dried tomato, pine nuts, spinach, and feta.

RiverMarket Bar and Kitchen
Tarrytown
From the owners of Crabtree’s Kittle House (see North County), RiverMarket has a farm-to-table ethos that extends from the front market proffering NYS farmstead cheeses and butters to the local purveyors dotting the menu and the biodynamic selections on the wine
RIVERTOWNS
list. Expect gorgeously composed salads, house-made pastas, wood-fired pizza, and expertly crafted cocktails.

Ocean House
Croton-on-Hudson
This is the place to bring your friend who declares “I don’t like seafood!” to taste the wondrous things Chef Brian Galvin does with the ocean’s bounty. His deft, gentle hand allows seafood to shine, in presentations like magnificent grilled calamari with nothing more than olive oil and fresh lemon, or moist and flavorful crab-stuffed trout.

Fin & Brew
Peekskill
Located at The Factoria, Peekskill’s hottest new dining and entertainment destination, there’s more to this New American restaurant than unobstructed Hudson River views. The seafood-slanted menu, paired with craft beers on draft from River Outpost Brewing Co. down- stairs, features a top-flight raw bar, locally sourced ingredients, and from- scratch preparations.

Boro6 Wine Bar
Hastings-on-Hudson
There’s no kitchen at this Hastings jew- el box, but loyal customers don’t seem to mind, lingering at the u-shaped marble bar
or one of the window-facing banquettes to sip some of the 45+ wines-by-glass and share salads, sandwiches, and platters of thinly sliced charcuterie and European and American cheeses.

Saint George Bistro
Hastings-on-Hudson
With an all-French wine list, classic bis- tro fare, and cozy dining room that oozes Old World character, Saint George feels like a slice of Paris in the Rivertowns. Chef Chris Vergara has assembled a tightly edited list of well-executed French favor- ites like côte de bouef for two, coq au vin, and pork rillettes, plus an absinthe foun- tain (all the better for making Sazeracs).
