Came for brunch for Mother's Day. Sitting outside on a nice day was definitely a great vibe, however the service was slightly slow but could be because we were outside and it was pretty busy. Highly recommend artichokes and breakfast burrito. French fries are also very good. read more

To be honest, I have never heard of this place before. My friends and I were planning to go to Commerce Inn for brunch but the wait was way too long. So we ended up going here instead and I'm happy we did! We arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation and they seated us at the bar first so we could get coffee. We ordered at the bar and then our table was ready, so our drinks came to our table. I got: - hot matcha latte: I got this sweetened with honey. - roasted pulled chicken sandwich: I added cheese. This was really good! It came with fries which were nice to nimble on (better than some places' other fries). It's really tight in here (as all NYC restaurants are). The tables are back to back. There is a counter in the back with bar stools. The bathrooms are downstairs. It was cold downstairs!! read more

So probably one of the better hanger steaks . I have had in the city Problem is the staff . I came here on a Sunday - around 515 pm. For an early dinner pretty empty . No one in the main dining hall couple of people at the bar, and maybe some people on the garden Took forever for the staff , to take my order. Finally the order was taken, I finished my meal it's amazing, no one refilled the water, came around to check if everything was good with the customer they're sitting and chitchatting for the people of the bar. But they expect the minimum 20% tip. I gave it because it's just too f.. king annoying to nickle and dime . I've lived in the city for 35 years just so tired to see these entitled servers who do squat , get a break from taxes . Restaurant owners wake up . If we are supporting your wait staff you better make sure , they deliver or else see your demise as a restaurer in nyc read more

Hudson Clearwater - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Hudson Clearwater continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in New York. I recently had dinner there with four friends, and everything about the evening reminded me why I keep coming back. The garden patio is one of the city's hidden gems--beautiful, intimate, and perfect for lingering over a great meal. The crowd always seems effortlessly hip and cool, creating a lively atmosphere without ever feeling pretentious. The food was outstanding, and the wine list deserves special mention. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into the selection, with an excellent range of organic, biodynamic, and natural wines alongside classic favorites. Our server helped us choose the perfect bottle and knew the list inside and out. The staff is consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Service is polished without being formal, and everyone made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a memorable dinner in the West Village with exceptional food, an outstanding wine program, and one of the best garden dining spaces in Manhattan, Hudson Clearwater is hard to beat. It never disappoints. read more

Hudson Clearwater - Vanilla Bean Cheesecake is a great option for dessert - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Loved it so much I had a birthday dinner in their private room one year. The menu is fresh and creative. The location is very cute. The drinks are refreshing. The only problem is I believe it's a tad overpriced, but hey, that may bother some and not others. read more

First of all WOW... first time here and here is my review. The menu has everything from a breakfast burrito, pasta, steak and even their in house baked cinnamon rolls DELICIOUS!!The food came to the table very hot and tasted extremely fresh. Perfect The inside of the restaurant was a mix of vintage and modern with a beautiful back patio where tables and chairs nestled into a lovely garden like environment. And the best part of all, as those of you who read my reviews, the service was amazing, we wanted for nothing but didn't have hovering wait staff either.. the place hits it out of the park !!! and I Highly Recommend read more

Hudson Clearwater - Eggs Benedict and Huevos Ranchos - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Adorable back patio. Friendly service. Grossest bloody mary I've ever ordered. It's okay.

I was seated outside by the host and then minutes later forced to move to a table by the trash because a reservation requested the table I was at. I've worked FOH at a lot of restaurants and it's a pretty golden rule that you don't move someone that's been seated, regardless of the situation (unless they asked to be). You find the unseated people another spot and if there isn't one you create it or comp them drinks while they wait for one to open. But you don't move someone that's been sat. Especially for a table request, which aren't supposed to be guaranteed. Found it unprofessional and left before ordering. read more

Standard brunch fare in cozy/rustic surrounds. I'm mainly giving stars for the relative affordability. The food is alright, the atmosphere quite noisy. Our server was on top of checking in with us, albeit not the friendliest (did we ever make eye contact hmm). My friend and I got sat at a rather awkward spot, right next to another group of 4 and in the center of the room so our chairs were constantly bumped. Matcha latte ($6) was mediocre and not strong enough with the matcha. Hudson scramble ($18) was served somewhat warm and went cold fast, but overall was decent. The toast was quite hard but came with generous dollops of butter and jam on the side. The cinnamon roll ($6) wasn't special; the vanilla maple cream cheese frosting tasted like straight cream cheese without any sugar, which was odd, but the roll itself packed a nice cinnamon kick. Super fruit smoothie ($12) was pretty good. Things are priced reasonably (by West Village standards) for regular brunch fare, but this place is so noisy and packed that I'm unlikely to come back. read more

My bestie has been telling about this place for a while. We decided to stop in before a Broadway show "Bad Kreyol". It had a bit of a rustic feel and was very lively at around 4pm. Our food was so fresh and surprisingly didn't take long to come. We ordered vegan fried artichoke hearts, squash soup, grass fed and veggie burgers and a chocolate almond smoothie. Everything was delicious! The vegan fried artichoke hearts were a surprise hit. I didn't expect to enjoy them so much. They were light and airy but full of flavor. The burgers were juicy and the French fries fried to perfection. We were so full, we had no room for dessert. Our servers were also so friendly and kind. Definitely will be back! read more

Met with a friend for brunch here. The interior was rustic, yet classy. There was a high end feel to the place. I ordered one of my favorite brunch plates: Steak and Eggs ($29) with rosemary fries. I asked that the eggs be cooked over hard, which they were. They were just okay. The steak was a little too well done, was chewy and on the bland side. The fries were nicely crispy, but had very little rosemary taste. For dessert, I tried the Bread Pudding ($13), which was dark chocolate chunk with chocolate drizzle, chantilly, and slices of orange on the side. The Bread Pudding was slightly warm, but was not like a true bread pudding, and was much more cake like. I enjoyed the richly sweet chocolate component and velvety smooth, creamy chantilly. The orange slices with strawberry on top were a disconnect, and did not pair well with the bread pudding. Service was all right. Pricing wasn't too bad, considering the prime West Village location. I was definitely not satisfied with my meal, so would not return. read more

A solid spot for elevated food at NYC prices I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner and enjoyed the food both times. Lunch fish sandwich was hearty and excellent and the various egg items also looked great. For dinner, I enjoyed the scallops appetizer (3 for the small portion and 5 for the big), which felt quite refined and light. They have a lot of interesting dishes that can satisfy the veggie and meat lover alike. They have nice outdoor seating in the back and a few tables in the front. It's not a huge place and can fill up quickly. While this place isn't a formal place, it doesn't feel like super approachable and friendly either (subtly uppity?) I don't gravitate toward this but the food has been really good and that's a major factor in wanting to return. read more

Hudson Clearwater brunch is phenomenal. I've been twice now and have been impressed both times. It is so cozy and inviting inside, both times I've visited it's been too cold to sit outside but the patio looks great too. I recommend the breakfast burrito, cinnamon roll, and pancakes so good. My boyfriend had the duck hash and loved that too. Staff is all super friendly, I definitely recommend. read more

Went here for brunch on a very chill Friday so I decided to sit in the garden. The backyard garden is small but does a LOT for the overall experience. The blackened fish sandwich was tasty and the fish was flaky and far from dry. The eggs were also very filling with the mushrooms, tomato, and avocado. With a bit of extra salt these would be a 11/10, nonetheless very good, along with the lox which you cannot go wrong with. The jam and butter with the toast was a good compliment. Last and certainly not least if there's one thing you must get from this restaurant, it's the french toast! The crust is a perfect sidekick to the soft and fluffy bread. This was by far the highlight of the menu and if I could get 2 servings of it I would! A delectable item and you are not doing things correct if you don't get this when you visit! read more

A very busy restaurant in the heart of west village. I came for brunch over the weekend and it was crowded both indoors and outdoors. Luckily my friend and I had a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes for our table. It's a little small and tight on the inside but nonetheless the atmosphere felt cozy. I ordered the hudson scramble and my friend ordered the ricotta pancakes. Both of us enjoyed our meals! The scramble was filled with veggies and came with a piece of sourdough bread on the side. We ordered espresso martinis which were delicious. read more

Love the ambiance, street and garden. It's quiet and calm with good food and service.

The interior of Hudson Clearwater was really nice, like a cozy cabin. The servers were patient and also tried their best to accommodate our dietary restrictions and made us aware of any cross contamination. They were even kind enough to make the home potatoes In the oven. The food was also pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the lemon ricotta pancakes. However, what was striking to all of us on the table were how small the portions were, especially for the price. We all were still pretty hungry at the end, so we weren't fully satisfied. read more

Went for brunch with a group of friends. The inside of the restaurant is very tight and cramped, but outside seating looked more comfortable. While the menu for brunch is traditional, there are some hits. For starters, the table loved the French toast, but the Caesar salad was mediocre. Mains (Burger & Chicken sandwich) were a hit across the board, except for Avocado toast which lacked seasoning & flavor. Drinks were OK; all the restaurants "take" from the Moscow mule to the non alcoholic drinks. What made this a 4 star experience, in a positive way, was the service! The server was very attentive and engaged with the group. Would like to go back for dinner to give it another try! read more

This experience was almost comical and is a large reflection of how poor service is here. The food could do a dance but people should never be treated this way. My friend booked a reservation for Indoor at 1:15pm. We waited 20 minutes as they continuously told us to wait. Then they offered a table outside. This would be fine if the forecast didn't say rain for the next 6 hours. The clouds were rolling in, the wind was strong, and it was already drizzling a little bit. Never mind that our reservation was for indoor, and we had made the conscious decision to choose that. They then started to argue with us that our reservation was outdoor. We showed them the confirmation email that said indoor. Finally, after wasting 25 minutes of our time, we were finally told there was no seat inside for us. It was outside or nothing. There was no apology, no offer to rectify THEIR mistake, but then they said again our reservation was for outside. We decided to go elsewhere. While we walked away my friend checked her Resy app, and the reservation said "outdoor". She looked again at her confirmation email from days prior and it said "indoor". Instead of apologizing and owning up to the mistake, which would have been fine, they wanted us to look crazy and within their system blatantly abused their power to change the reservation to make us look like we were in the wrong. No brunch is worth this. There are so many other amazing restaurants in the West Village, I will literally eat anywhere else and encourage anyone to do the same. read more

Upon entering, we were promptly greeted and politely seated. Ambiance was warm and inviting. The candles made it a most intimate experience. Our off menu special of the octopus appetizer was full of flavor and the protein was expertly prepared. The main dishes consisted of the linguine and mussels- I found the noodles more along the lines of ramen and undercooked, with onlyshadows of heart in the preparation, the mussels were a tad muddy for my enjoyment. My wife's steak was expertly cooked and hearty. The only way to have improved on her dish would have been to have included more than one fungi. The wine list was uppermost robust and we were able to enjoy a wonderful Chianti. read more

Absolutely amazing! I've been wanting to come here for a while and finally was in the area and decided to dine for brunch. I got the lemon ricotta lemon pancakes and my husband got the egg white omelette and we split them both - great choice. The pancakes were delicious and rather light which was perfect and not overly filling. The pomegranate seed with a nice touch. The superfruit smoothie was also a great start, they were making them when we walked in and we could see how much fresh fruit they were putting into the blender which made for a nice thick rich flavor. The only slightly annoying thing was that the kitchen in the back kept selling "service" when they needed a server to come pick up the plates to bring out, hopefully they can find a better system for this. Wouldn't deter me from coming back though as I definitely won't to try their dinner! read more

I would have given this place 3 stars, if not for the wait staff.

Stopped by for brunch on Sunday and the awesome thing was that they take reservations!!! My friends and I ordered the burger that came with fries, a duck salad and a kale salad with chicken. Overall the burger was pretty good - you know they know how to cook it when they ask you how you want it to be cooked - that's a true sign of a good burger! Although their fries weren't the most appealing in looks, they make up for it in taste. Between the salad,I would suggest the duck salad as that's a bit more interesting since it came with pomegranate seeds and mandarin. read more

COVID report: Hudson Clearwater has heated outdoor seating both on the sidewalk and in their back garden. Believe they had umbrellas. My boyfriend and I visited in early April for dinner and sat in the garden. We started with the Volver and King's county cocktails, then shared the Gem lettuce, Crispy polenta, Hanger steak, Brussels sprouts and Warm chocolate pot. Everything was delicious as usual, with the dessert being the standout! Definitely one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. read more

I dined at Hudson Clearwater last night for the first time at 6. The Decour is rustic and classy and it was nice to see groups of friends catching up. It was almost like Covid didn't exist for that night. I say almost because staff follow all covid protocols by wearing masks and checking your temperature before you come in. The staff were superb-always came around when needed and came to ask how everything was. I love that you can see the whole kitchen cooking right there. The men working are efficient and it was beautiful to see them make various plates. And there were so many delicious smells in the room too! I highly recommend making a reservation to eat indoors because they are quite popular. Now for the important part- the food! I love that they have options for every eater from the carnivore to the vegan. The broccolini was so flavorful. It was spicy and I didn't even know broccolini could pack that much flavor. The mushroom risotto was creamy and delicious. A bit salty for me but would totally eat it again. I had mushroom risotto in Italy and what they serve here is the real thing.They gave us some lentil soup for free and I really really recommend it! The vegan panna cotta with blood oranges and the sweet sauce was the perfect sweet end to the meal. I highly recommend coming here!! It's a great place for every occasion from the casual to the fancy. read more

I went here for a friend's birthday dinner and the food was incredible! (Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures.) For appetizers, we shared the little gem caesar salad, savory tart, duck confit rillettes, pan seared scallops, burrata and the house made ricotta gnocchi--my favorites were the rillettes and the burrata. For my entree, I got the seared Long Island duck breast, which was so delicious. The staff was incredibly attentive and nice, and the restaurant was really pretty. I also really liked the outdoor eating area, and will definitely have to try that in warmer weather. Highly recommend this place for dinner. Also, the Duchess was a great drink! read more
