X2O Xaviars on the Hudson

The employees were very friendly. The atmosphere was amazing. I love the outdoor seating over the water. Great views. Very romantic. The food was flavourful. I enjoyed the seafood crepe. The drinks 🍸 were beautiful. My husband brought me here for my birthday. We had a great time. We will definitely return.

An upscale fine dining restaurant with breathtaking views of the Hudson. Food is creative and delicious. They have a full bar and wine list is extensive with some excellent selections stocked. Lots of options for different dietary restrictions. The service is attentive and helpful in making food choices/wine pairings. Braised Short Rib of Beef was the best. Desserts are not too sweet but so good that you can't stop. Overall the experience was amazing. We didn't realize we stayed chatting among friends passed closing time and still were served coffee with no mention of time.

Found this upscale and truly one of a kind restaurant in one of the last Victorian piers along the Hudson. Having tickets to the Hudson river museum planetarium we were looking for a bite before and could not have been more eased. A definite fall destination for beauty of food and surroundings!

Came here for the first time and did not know what to expect. I will say that the food was very goood and my table loved what we had! Just delicious. My only thing is that the food runners kept bringing the a different tables food to our table. And then there was a mistake in our order we all got our food besides one person. So we were halfway through our food by the time they received their plate. Other than that the food was good. The decor is a little bland but I guess it has a nice view of the water so that helps.

Omg! Food outrageously excellent! Beautiful plating! Congratulations to the Chef and the whole staff! Service impeccable, courteous and attentive! Definitely a keeper! We will go back!

We visited the restaurant for the Hudson valley restaurant week. Three courses for 29$ for one person in lunch time. They have amazing water view and a remote Manhattan city view with the river which was amazingly beautiful. While we appreciated the view, the dishes we had was delicious as well! Couldn’t be better to enjoy delicious food with breathtaking view also with restaurant week deals in a sunny day! We had black truffle risotto and check liver for the appetizer. Then herbs chicken and shrimp pasta for the main dishes. The pasta was ok not as “wow” as the herbs chicken. Then the chocolate cake with pistachio cream was fantastic and the flan with fresh fruit for the ending. Overall experience was great! Highly recommended this restaurant, it’s perfect for a romantic date!

My Family and I dined in this restaurant for a wedding celebration. The service was extraordinary. Xavier and other servers was very attentive in ensuring glasses remained filled and table was clear of empty plates, glasses etc. We had a 3-course pre-fixed menu along with open bar. We reserved a table by the window and had an amazing view to match the delicious food. Everything was perfect! Thank you to X20 and staff for being great the whole evening!!

Beautiful view of the Hudson! Staff was really nice. Went for brunch and the food was good. Three courses are included in the price plus unlimited Prosecco, Mimosa and Bellini. Plus they pass around offering muffins, cake, shrimp, sushi, etc. Really nice place to check out. Have already recommended this place to friends and family.

Great experience all around. Absolutely beautiful dining room with amazing views of the Hudson! Staff were friendly and attentive! Food was perfect, delicious and presented well. We did the $36 price fix menu for lunch and they had an additional page with 2 more options for each course. Many vegetarian options. We were able to have a leisurely lunch and were never rushed. Only negative is that they have valet parking which is $5 for cars and $10 for SUV's as parking can be difficult on the street. There are some metered 2 hour parking spots in front of restaurants. Fresh beautiful flowers on each table. This is really a wonderful restaurant for a special occasion, to celebrate or just for a wonderful , relaxing meal. A perfect experience!

Truly 5 star! The view, ambiance, service and meal was nothing short of exceptional. My only negative was that they seated everyone so close by (with Covid cases rising) when the restaurant is huge. Perhaps, they didn't have enough staff? Either way, the servers were very well trained. The food was divine and the view can't be beat!

We came here during restaurant week on a Friday at 5:30pm and everything is perfect! I have no idea why it only has 3.9 stars. It wasn't busy when we arrived at their 5:30pm opening so we received great attention and service. We ordered the truffle risotto as starter. They gave us a good portion. King salmon with miso is served on a bed of cream orzo with tomatoes and mushrooms. The brazino was cooked perfectly, tender filet and crispy skin. I was impressed knowing how hard it is to cook it. Brazino came with mashed potatoes and snow peas. Good size portion. For dessert we ordered almond olive pound cake and apple/cranberry crumb. The latter is more moist and it has an Italian twist. Ambiance is great. We sat by the wall to wall window and got a view of Manhattan and Jersey during sunset.

Dined here for Sunday brunch with a large group. Upon arrival the staff were extremely courteous and the views from the restaurant are Amazing. We were impressed from the start. We received prompt and attentive service throughout our entire dining experience. We were served so much passed table side food in addition to our main entree selection. Also, they aren't kidding about "bottomless mimosas" they kept our glasses very full! We ate a variety of things since it was such a large group of us some things were delicious but most items were just ok. Overall, would recommend a visit for brunch if you are in the area!

Lovely spot located on the scenic Hudson River. The short ribs and cod were excellent as well as the appetizers and wine. Friendly staff and elegant atmosphere. Parking is hard to find so valet is recommended.

I frequently dinned at Restaurant X and was disappointed that it closed down. We decided to go over the bridge and try out X20. First, it was further than we anticipated to get there and were didn't know that Yonkers was like a mini city. There is no parking at the restaurant, and you have to pay $10 for valet parking. The building is right on the Hudson. There is nothing on the bottom floor and the restaurant is on the top floor with lots of windows. You have a great view wherever you sit, including the view in the bathroom! The service was really good, they were very attentive and personal. The only part that was disappointing was we put on the Opentable reservation and we told the waiter that there was a birthday at the table and they did nothing to celebrate. We were there for brunch. It is a great deal with champagne included, and they frequently refill your glasses. We never felt like we were looking for a waiter to refill it. There were a few passed appetizers, the coconut shrimp was outstanding. It was not too sweet and the shrimp was huge and juicy. There was also an ahi tuna roll that was lightly fried but didn't have that too fried taste. There were lamb chops that were cooked perfectly and mushroom raviolios that were light and tasty. For the first course, I had the risotto which was a nice portion tasty, I just wish it was a little warmer. For the main course, I had the seabass special which was delicious and the serving size was perfect. For dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake which was only alright, it didn't have that lava in the middle that I love. After we ate, we went outside on the deck and took some beautiful pictures. Overall, we thought it was a great deal and a fabulous time. We will definitely be back for brunch for a special occasion.

I had dinner at X20 during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, this is my 3rd time patronizing this restaurant with my restaurant and I am happy to report that it has never disappointed. It was a busy Saturday night, and we had an 8:30 pm reservation, we arrived and were seated promptly upstairs in the restaurant. We were sat next to the window with a beautiful view of the Hudson River, even in the dark you were able to see. Our drink orders were taken, I had an Owl's Call and my husband the HV Spiked Cider. Both were refreshing and delicious. I enjoyed the butternut squash bisque for an appetizer which alone deserves 5 . My husband had the Tuna tar tar. For entrees my husband had the roasted chicken and I had the glazed salmon. Both were delightful. for dessert I ordered the almond pound cake, it.came with a blueberry compote, which added back the moist that the dense cake needed. The wait staff was very attentive, making sure we had what we needed and our water cups were full. Overall, if you're looking for an upscale dinner with delicious food, beautiful views, and attentive staff, look no further than X2O.

Quite good food and amazing service. The views are amazing; it's great to be able to have a fine dining experience on the waterfront. Not many options for vegans or vegetarians, however. The best offerings on the menu or meat or fish related.

Food was good, dining room cafeteria like. The view outside nothing special. Service was good, too much money for this experience.

Best food n the area. We had the amazing Beef Wellington, my friends had Short Rib, Salmon, and Chicken ... all excellent. Perfect service and drinks that are made very tasty and strong - - - Excellent Old Fashion. Dessert is unique versions of standard items like apple tart, and an ice cream with fruits and alcohol that is well balanced and wonderful. Last week we had brunch, epic dishes and they periodically bring samples to try as well - - - coupled with the bottomless drinks, it was a fun afternoon affair.

Another fabulous lunch here! I stopped in during Yonkers restaurant week and was not disappointed. for appetizers we started off with the mousseline of chicken livers which was incredibly savory with a nice grainy mustard and pickled onion. It paired perfectly with the crisp baguette, just delicious! My friend got the goat cheese salad which was absolutely delicious in a mustard vinaigrette. it was the perfect beginning. For entrées We ordered the pork loin and the salmon. The pork loin was tender and juicy with a nice apple compote on top. The salmon was perfectly done with a nice orzo and veggie broth. Service was excellent, as usual. It is always a pleasure dining here!

Wonderfully diverse staff, attentive and efficient. The views are stellar and the food amazingly simple with just enough flare. Went 1st time for a friend's 60th Birthday so a table of 10 or so folks the staff was on point. Starter: Spicy Tuna Roll with Avocado and Eel Sauce Hudson Valley Watermelon Salad - Feta Cheese, Kaffir Lime Oil and Fresh Mint Tower of Fries (Pomme Frites) Dessert: Belgian Chocolate Dome with Crème Anglaise Classic Crème Brulee Dinner: Braised Short Ribs Of Beef With Truffle Potatoes & Roasted Cauliflower USDA Prime Rib with side salad Cocktails: Downtown Peach Belvedere (we swapped the Ketel One), Peach Schnapps, Peach Nectar with club soda Caresse Prosecco, Lillet Blanc, Peach Nectar

-First Impression- Looks small from the outside, interesting location on the water. Much bigger once you get inside, great views. -Food- Wow! Large portions (for me anyway), and good flavor. I almost forgot to take picture lol! -Service- Very friendly, took good care of our group of seven -Price- Ordered from the restaurant week menu, three courses for $45 (not including drinks, of course), great deal if you ask me! -Did Not Like- N/A -Noteworthy- The bathroom is so cute! Great for selfies lol -Recommend- Yes

I've tried to get a reservation for their Sunday Brunch. I have been told it's the best bang for your buck. Maybe before 2024 is complete I can tell you more .

I recently attended a birthday party at X20, and the food, the service, the Hudson River views, everything was incredible. I wish I could give them more than five stars! We have a food allergy in the family, and the general manager and captain worked with us to ensure that every dish our family got was safe. They completely understood our concerns, double-checked ingredients, and were willing and able to make any modifications needed. I was so impressed with how they handled this, since unfortunately you don't find that everywhere. The service in general was really attentive. The food itself was outstanding. I got a baby spinach salad with tuna tataki, enoki mushrooms, and yuzu vinaigrette for an appetizer, seared Maine scallops with farro and spinach for my main, and mango sorbet for dessert. The scallops were cooked perfectly, and I could not stop raving about them all afternoon. I also tried (a lot of) my kid's miso glazed salmon with potato puree and haricot verts, which was equally delicious. The restaurant has a great location right on the waterfront, and they have a balcony to better enjoy the fantastic river view. Even the bathroom has large windows so you can see the river and the city. We're not usually in the Yonkers area, but if we were, I would definitely consider stopping in for a nice meal!

Coming to X2O is always a safe bet for a family dinner with the folks. The service, the view (sunset on the Hudson River) and of course the food, never disappoints. Save room for dessert!

I brought my best Friend here for a birthday lunch. Amazing views and amazing service . Kate really made us feel special and went above and beyond. She was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Kate gave great suggestions and the cocktails were amazing . The butternut squash bisque was so memorable . I would come back just for that ! Such a special place and it makes you feel like you are not in NYC anymore . We saw the sunset and walked the pier afterwards. Must try place if your in Yonkers ! They even have valet

I had a friend took me and my wife out for a birthday party for 3, and it was off the hook. Good service and good people, the food was hot and ready to eat. YES WE WILL BE GOING BACK TO THIS PLACE FOR REAL AND NO JOKE. You will not be disappointed, believe me when I tell you.

Before the other day, I had not been to X20 in many years; my last visit here was for an educational dinner and I don't remember being too impressed with it. However, educational dinners can be a mixed bag when it comes to food, so I always kept this place in the back of my mind to retry on my own. When one of my friends suggested we come here for brunch, I thought it would be a great opportunity to reassess X20 - so off we went. As suggested by the name, X20 is located right on the Hudson River, which gives way to lovely views of the water. The restaurant takes full advantage of that by providing a bright interior with floor-to-ceiling windows lining the perimeter. The setup of the restaurant is slightly compartmentalized - upon entry you immediately go upstairs which houses the main dining area; from what I could gather there is another room even further upstairs. The room we were seated in was very open, and had a classy aesthetic while still being approachable. The brunch experience at X20 is very structured; for $48 a head, you choose an appetizer, entrée, and dessert as well as an unlimited alcoholic beverage and strolling tastings. They had a pretty good selection within each course - a mix of sophisticated breakfast and lunch items for most tastes without it being overwhelming. After ordering a mimosa, I decided to go with the ricotta special for an app, the miso glazed salmon for my main, and the Belgian chocolate tart for dessert. I really enjoyed all the courses; the ricotta app was topped with a balsamic reduction and pistachios which provided enhanced flavor and texture - the dressed greens that came on the side were a good complement. The miso flavor on the salmon was good, and the orzo that came with it had a lot of components which complemented the fish. The tart was pretty good, it didn't have the biggest chocolate flavor and was slightly hard to maneuver because of the cookie underneath it, but a solid dessert nonetheless. In addition to the three courses, staff were walking throughout the dining room serving mushroom ravioli, pumpkin loaf, and coconut shrimp - all were tasty. Service was great - everything came out at a good pace and everyone was friendly. Overall, my opinion of X20 has definitely changed; I thought they put out a really good brunch and would not hesitate to return.

Love this place , I went with all my girls after work for their birthday. Everything was clean and the doormen were very respectful, they didn't frisk too much and made sure everything was legit. I felt comfortable because I saw my community there. No hesitation I should come back again

we had the wonderful brunch today. I think it's the best brunch in the city have to go. It's so delicious so much food everything was great. The service was impeccable. The view is beautiful. The food was delicious.

Came for Sunday brunch for my birthday and had the absolute best experience here. We were greeted with champagne as we arrived and waited for our table to be prepared for us. Once seated we were offered a number of small plates as appetizers, which were all so delicious. I took pictures of everyones dishes, but the highlight for sure was the duck confit! For appetizers the truffle risotto was also our favorite. The location is right on the water in Yonkers and in the summer there is outdoor seating which I'm excited to go back for and try

I came here for a special event. Maybe my expectations were too high, as I had always heard it was one of the best restaurants in southern Westchester, but I found everything to be incredibly mediocre. Nothing was terrible, but the food was just okay with small portion sizes. The service was fine. The views are only pretty if you have a beautiful, sunny day, which we did not. I would not return here if not invited to another event.

Overall excellent. A must visit. Everything from the service to the quality of the food that was prepared was outstanding.

This was our first time at X20. Appetizers we ordered jalapeño sashimi, octopus and cheeseboard. For dinner we ordered the short ribs, pork chop, and cod. Forgot to take pics as I was focused on eating. Service was great and there is a large attentive team throughout the dining experience. Nice location on the water. Great place to hang out before or after dinner as well.

I highly recommend X20 on the Hudson. We came here to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary and it was the perfect spot for it. The views, ambience and service were excellent - if you've been looking for an excuse to dress up a bit this is a great place for it. Honestly, I had a great time but I'm giving it four stars because the food, while very good, just didn't live up to the hype for me. I got venison off the specials and it was definitely good but I've had better. The cut was weird? I dunno, I'm far from a meat expert but I saw that other reviewers had similar feelings about the food just kinda missing the mark. That's not to say I won't be back. I'll definitely be back! PS parking is valet, which seems ubiquitous for this area, so be prepared with some cash.

Fantastic food. Plenty of interesting selections for the prix fixe menu. Impeccable and attentive servers. Great view of the Hudson. All around delightful experience

Went back to X20 for dinner and had another great experience. They have a broader menu for dinner but everyone in our party had the same appetizer and entree - Short Rib & Foie Gras Ravioli and the Duck Breast. Both were excellent, we were all very happy! The service was impeccable and the dining room is spacious with great views. Definitely worth a trip to dine there!

The location on the Hudson River is absolutely stunning. To the north you can see the Tappan Zee Bridge, and to the south you can see New York City. It is a 3 minute walk from the train station too. The staff professional so expect top notch service. They are attentive without being overbearing. The food is phenomenal, everything was killer. Iron chef Peter Kelly runs the restaurant so this is to be expected. There is also an extensive wine list. First, they give you freshly baked bread, I saved it to mop up the sauce from our delicious appetizers. The short rib ravioli was tender and the truffle butter was delicious. The caesar salad was the best salad I've ever had. Their signature dish is the cowboy ribeye, we had the sea bass and braised short ribs, both were top notch. Even though this restaurant is expensive I did not feel ripped off at all. The price is on par with what you get. I came to X20 with high expectations, and they exceeded them. I highly recommend this establishment for special occasions!

Excellent food with above average service. View as expected and overall a 4.4 star experience

I realize this is arguably damming with faint praise, but clearly the best restaurant in Yonkers/Western Westchester county below the Cuomo bridge. High quality ingredients, well-prepared. Excellent service plus a nice view of the water -- at least before dark. Compares favorably to some of the better Manhattan restaurants. To be sure, is it as good as say, Le Bernardin or Jean Georges? Of course not. But you'll get a first-class dining experience for probably half the price, without the hassle of traffic and parking.

Food is very good. Ambiance is lovely, but I'd say the service in my experience was the best thing.

We had a fantastic meal and fantastic time at X2O Xaviar on the Hudson. It's a beautiful and well-designed venue. But the views are just the beginning. The staff is super cordial and accommodating and the food and wine selection are what you write home about (or just post on Yelp!) Special thanks to the greeters and kitchen staff that let us bring in our own dessert. Props to Tyler, who attended our table and recognized that this was a special day for our table. Oh yeah, we had a flavorful mix of appetizers and entrees. The risotto's seasoning was reminiscent of fine Mediterranean cuisine. The mixed seafood crepes stood out for the attention to flavors. Greens, beets and burrata!!! You get the message. Entrees on T-day? Turkey was well presented. Sliced thin. Served with a stuffing and green beans. Venison was new this year and prepared with flavor in mind. We're making this a holiday tradition Go there and enjoy.

sunday brunch - not for table for two - stuck in middle - no view - food and service good as usual - can not go back again

This is renowned Peter Kelly's restaurant, iron chef 5/7/2007 winner. Great ambiance, amazing food and excellent service. Our server Antonio was courteous, friendly and attentive. All appreciated. Everything looked good on the menu so we had 4 aps n shared a main entree. The special for the day was pork n shrimp dumplings, so good. The cocktails are refreshing, although it could be a little stronger. The restaurant is very cool. I must come to this side of Yonkers more often. Thank you to my sis for a lovely way to celebrate!

Such a beautiful spot over the Hudson River, and the food is amazing! Brunch (prix fixe) is 3 courses. I enjoyed the risotto, poached eggs (creamed spinach & hollandaise sauce) and almond pound cake. My wife had the field green salad, salmon and tiramisu. All excellent - but even better was that they passed 4 other tasty treats during the meal (I especially loved the baby lamb chops). Also includes unlimited prosecco drinks (bellini, mimosa and kir royale). An outstanding culinary experience, and the setting was beautiful as well. Our third time here and we'll be back again!

I have had brunch at X20 a couple of times, and the food was good. Unfortunately, today everything was mediocre at beSt. I had the mashed potatoes and the sirloin steak both lacked taste. I will dine at X2O one more time before scratching it off my restaurant list, but I won't do brunch. Based on my experience I have enjoyed the dinner menu much more than the brunch menu. The old adage holds true- you get what you pay for. The service was excellent and of course, the views were amazing.

Used to be good but now it seems defending downhill, food is okay, not wow like used to be. They need to upgrade the furnitures and put new flooring. Bar is very small and cute people round the corner with water view. Parking is tough

Food is always delicious and the service is great. I love going to Sunday's brunch and the unlimited champagne.

An amazing food and service! Will be returning. Views were spectacular as well. Lobby and entrance decor could be updated but the service and food really made the experience a win.

This place has really nice view. I liked the Shellfish Crepe very much and the Duck Leg as well. Both deserts - Almond Cake & Belgian Chocolate Tart (a bit hard and sticky) were not too much of my liking's. The biggest complaint I have is the awful smell in the elevator and the carton boxes left there, it was certainly not a pleasant feeling to have when you first entered the place.

X20 recommend to me by family and I am so glad I decided to give it a try. This was my 3rd visit so far this year! The views of the Hudson is absolutely breathtaking and the FOOD! Oh The food was just delicious. I enjoyed every morsel from appetizer to desert. Definitely coming back again!

This place is a joke; terrible service and they can't even be bothered to help make the situation right. Clearly they can give two sh!ts about their patrons. Won't be returning. Plenty of other great spots - this place is highly overrated.

Not what is was when it opened but still one of the best spots to get a meal in the greater surrounding area. Pricey wine list

We had an exceptional dining experience at X2O. Food was great, service was terrific, always a lovely ambiance

Service was attentive and friendly without being oily. The ambiance is bright, there are stylish, modern trimmings that are still warm and organic-- not cold, brushed steel industrial. But the windows! -- with a beautiful view of the city in the distance on one side, and the distant Tappan Zee on the other! Finally, I had the best gazpacho I ever had, and a supremely textured and subtly flavored duck confit. What a gem on the Hudson!

Nice restaurant in Yonkers, went for our anniversary and was not disappointed. From the drinks to the entree and the view of the Hudson was fantastic. We started with their spicy tuna roll and it was delicious! The cowboy steak for two, left us full and plenty was left to take home. The sides were delicious as well. Highly commend!

We just moved walking distance from the restaurant and wanted to find our go-to brunch place for Sundays. We entered the restaurant to be in a crowd of 20 Caucasian 70-80 year old women. None of the guest we saw met a different profile. The ambiance was also similar. We mentioned our reservation at the front only to be told we didn't match their clientele. That's a business decision... can't wait to share with our neighbors. Luckily most recent reviews mentioned the quality having gone down and the chef changing (and probably menu changes to match the clientele) so it seems we dodged a bullet.
