The Hudson

We came for soft opening 2/6 and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our server was a delight and the food was excellent. We started with oysters and tried them all which we loved. The shrimp toast was tasty but needed the sauce to get past the fried flavor (a smidge hard to find the shrimp flavor - sauce was yummy). Grilled Caesar’s had a fantastic depth of flavor and ingredients. I had the filet and my husband had the New York which we were seasoned to perfection and tasted amazing. The potatoes (cannot remember their name) on the side were cheesy, creamy and delicious. We wrapped it all up with the Kind of Carrot cake which was a fun and funky deconstructed carrot cake featuring candied carrots (so good), candied nuts, dobbs of cream and ice cream topped off with red pepper corns gi

The Hudson is an elegant upgrade from the former Wall. Although the layout is essentially the same, the new finishings, lighting, color scheme, and furniture are certainly more cosmopolitan and chic. The "Last Minute" cocktail (much like an Old Fashioned) was too subtle, but the "Hudson Manhattan" was spectacular, robust and flavorful. The "Baby Beet and Pear" salad was also flavorful, especially if you dig beneath the fresh vegetables to find the excellent blue-cheese maple dijon dressing. The "Wagyu Beef Tartare" was fairly spicy, with hard notes of onion and peppercorns (I think they were peppercorns, or perhaps capers), yet the portion was generous. Two cocktails, two appetizers, a pleasant hour of excellent service (sitting at the bar), and the total (with tip) was $90.

We went to dinner with dear friends and thoroughly enjoyed our time! It’s an elevated experience and impressed by their attentive service.

Food was SO GOOD! Oxtail soup, crab fried rice, aged cod, and slow roasted pork belly were all delicious. Drinks were tasty, and tiramisu was tasty too. Service was also great too. Reid was our waiter and he was delight. He was personable, courteous, charming. The man who seemed like the front manager was kind as well. Environment and atmosphere was chill with good lighting and soft tones. "Fire"place upstairs was nifty and could be a nice place for an event. The only reason the score was not perfect is that it took the drinks forever to come (and not at all for our second round) so that's a bummer. VERY pricey so nice every once in a while or for a date night or something.

i've never written a review but was compelled after last nights dinner. one of the best meals this year. they made chicken, mushrooms and mashed potatoes (i know, boring) taste like gourmet food. Price was right, service was perfect and the ambiance was ideal. 10 gold stars!
