RiverMarket, a Crabtree's Kittle House Sister Restaurant, Will Open in Tarrytown on July 8

RiverMarket Bar & Kitchen, a new sister restaurant to Crabtree's Kittle House Restaurant & Inn in Chappaqua, NY, will open in Tarrytown, NY, on Monday, July 8, 2013 (tentative date). 

The restaurant has 125 inside seats plus additional seating on a patio, weather permitting. It has a large bar, a pizza oven, and occupies a separate building on West Main Street in the Hudson Harbor complex, not far from the Tarrytown Metro-North train station. Also coming to the same location will be a gourmet market and a wine shop called RiverMarket Wines & Spirits.

Chef John Holzwarth, 41, head of the kitchen staff, is exchanging one river view for another. He was the chef at The Boathouse in Westport, CT, where the Saugatuck River is visible from the dining room window. Now, he can see the Hudson.

While attending the University of Maine, Holzwarth worked at a local restaurant as a line cook (where his interest in a culinary career surfaced); he graduated with a double major in Economics and Spanish. 

He trained in New York City with celebrity chef/author Lidia Bastianich at her flagship restaurant Felidia and also cooked at The Dressing Room in Westport, CT.

He is hiring and seeks line cooks, prep cooks and dishwashers. Openings also exist for wait staff personnel. Prospective employees can contact the chef by e-mailing him at jholzwarth@me.com

The restaurant is reached by crossing over the four-track, train station bridge, exiting from the left ramp  and making an immediate right turn from Green Street to West Main Street.
