    Slow Roasted Brisket Sandwich & Kansas City style pulled pork sandwich, with Ice cold Rum Runner & Blueberry Breeze
    Mike G.

    Hudson Social is hands down one of my favorite spots in Dobbs Ferry! The riverside location is unbeatable--perfect for a relaxing meal with a view, whether you're catching up with friends or just soaking in the vibes. I had the slow-roasted brisket sandwich and the Kansas City-style pulled pork sandwich--both were absolutely delicious. Tender, flavorful, and served with golden fries that hit the spot. To top it off, the Rum Runner and Blueberry Breeze cocktails were ice-cold, refreshing, and perfectly mixed. Pure summertime bliss! What really made the experience stand out was the attentive and genuinely friendly staff. From the moment we sat down, we felt taken care of. Our server checked in just enough without hovering and made great recommendations with a smile. It's clear the team here takes pride in what they do. Also love how community-focused they are--with events like their upcoming Pride Brunch, Hudson Social isn't just a place to eat--it's a celebration of good food, good people, and good energy. Can't recommend it enough. Hudson Social has officially earned a permanent spot on my favorites list! --Your Pal Sals

    Fish sandwich

    Very friendly staff. Quick service. Food and drinks were great. Nice spot by the water.

    Ice cream cup served tonight.

    Bartender is great. Waiter is great. Hamburgers are excellent. Code a side Salad with a hamburger instead of the fries was very good. Fresh and delicious. ice cream is terrible, it has to come off the menu . Ingredients and taste are not good .

    We visited our friends in Dobbs Ferry on a July afternoon. They took us to this place for dinner. We sat outside. The service was great. We ordered several items and all of them came reasonable quickly and were quite tasty. We specifically liked the fish dishes. Overall, it was a good experience. We would gladly go back there again.

    Came here for happy hour with some coworkers and it was a lovely place. We sat outside near the bar area and it was awesome. They have lots of room to accommodate larger groups and very spacious area so it doesn't feel crowded. The service was fast we ordered a few rounds of drinks and everything came out pretty quickly. We did not order food but the menu looked great.

    Brunch with a view

    I've never had a bad experience here. Everything is great. Service is good, staff are friendly, ambiance is nice and the view is is pretty awesome! Plus is pet friendly My last visit here was for mother's day brunch. I didn't make reservations but took a chance anyways. It was all booked. So I asked if I could place an order to go. Staff said to do it on website. I tried but it wasn't working. I went back inside and told them it wasn't working. Manager came up to me and told me they were pretty booked and shut the take out function off because the kitchen was behind in orders. I was about to leave but asked him one more time if I could please put an order in w him and take it to go. He said ...you know what ok. We are pretty behind but depending on what you order I can put a rush on it being that is mother's day! Oh I was sooo happy and grateful. I order chicken fingers wings, burgers and fries. Figure that would be quick order! It was 20mins later I was by the water enjoying a picnic w my kids for mothers day. They did me solid on a very hectic day w no reservations. Thats 5 stars service for me!

    This place makes for a nice dinner as it's right off the Metro North on the Hudson, beautiful beautiful view!! Very cozy and sleek inside, they have a nice upstairs area which is where we sat. There's something for everyone on this menu if you're going with a bigger party and the food is solid :)

    Admittedly this place is pretty average but the view of the water really helps improve it. It's not that I wouldn't go, normally but it's kinda pricey for American food. I got the veggie burger replaced on the Social Burger which was a good choice and some truffle fries because I can't control my cravings for truffle. We also got a Caesar to start which was pretty good as well. Nothing was extremely special but they had some good beer options and they are pet friendly so I'll absolutely be back. The staff was kind although a little distracted at the beginning. They were attentive once we sat down and also gave us space. It's right in front of the train tracks so you should know it can get noisy, but again this view makes up for it.

    So this place was cute... We wanted to take a little road trip from New Jersey and go have lunch on the water somewhere. This is facing the Hudson river and is somewhat deceptive when you actually look at the restaurant website. This is right next to a train station, and there is a drop off street between where you sit and then there's a parking lot and then the Hudson river. Still scenic but just not the same as being Waterfront. Service was amazing, they have a full bar and outdoor seating. The food was very good and priced reasonably. I would have given this review more stars, but I do feel like the pictures on the website are inaccurate and we weren't as close to the water as I wanted to be. We had driven several miles to go here and so that was the disappointing aspect of it. I would go again if I was in the neighborhood just because of the service and the food. It was not handicap accessible to get to the restrooms. However, that's another checkmark on the experience.

The building itself is white with with a blue door and accents and the walkway from the entrance to the dining area is decorated with sculptures in recessed cubbies in the wall. The main dining room is spacious and inviting with a lush ceiling and touches of warm, golden furnishings. It was bustling on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Diners were seated indoors and outdoors. We didn't get a chance to see the outdoor space but on a hot and sunny day, my family was fine and comfortable in the shade indoors. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Once I was seated and waiting for the rest of my party, he advised the time for last orders to be placed. My party of 6 ordered almost every appetizer and several of the limited number of mains offered on the lunch menu. The appetizers came out as they were ready. The beet salad and lobster salad came out first and were refreshing. The saganaki and watermelon appetizer was an interesting pairing and surprisingly delightful. We ordered two of the grilled octopus as it's usually a favorite within my group when dining at a Greek or Mediterranean establishment. Unfortunately, the octopus came chopped in small pieces and was uninteresting. IMHO this dish is not worth the price or the calories. Of the set of 4 spreads/dips, all were tasty and went nicely with the accompanying pita bread. We ended up doubling on this. The crispy shrimp and calamari, eggplant and zucchini chips, and the Greek meatballs were satisfying and a hit with everyone. Despite the disappointment with the grilled octopus, overall the appetizers were much more impressive than the entrees. For our mains, we got 2 of the filet mignon with eggs, the sirloin burger, the Lountza sandwich, the chicken souvlaki, the crispy shrimp wrap, and the shrimp roll. If we had to rank these dishes, the chicken would top the list, followed by the sirloin burger, and the rest would be last. Consistency in preparation and flavor profiles of the dishes is lacking. For example, we requested the filets cooked medium, however one filet was medium in some parts, medium rare in others. Personally, I enjoy medium rare and ate those pieces. As for the other filet, it was medium rare and borderline rare and inedible for my party. We requested additional heat for the dish, which the kitchen accommodated, but the meat came back basically well done SMH. While the chicken and burger were juicy and appetizing, the other dishes, albeit topped with many ingredients, were bland. Perhaps the kitchen was overwhelmed, which resulted in receiving our entrees about two hours after placing the order and the poor, or at least decline in quality of, execution of our dishes. Considering the restaurant has been open almost two years, it is normal to expect experience in managing the weekend crowds. While we were advised about the hard stop on placing orders, it was a missed opportunity for our waiter to check if we wanted to add desserts to our meal. No warning or follow-up was made as the cutoff time was approaching. Normally, I would praise the experience and service, but the final straw was in the handling of leftovers and with the valet. We had several unfinished or untouched dishes we wanted packed to go. Upon checking the containers at home, not everything was packed. When waiting outside for our cars, one of our cars was already pulled up with the door open and ready to be driven away. Problem was, the car belonged to my sister, who was in the restroom at the time and had her ticket. Anyone could've driven her car away. Thankfully the valet cooperated and drove the car to the side and my sister retrieved it without incident. Overall, the experience was lengthy and off-putting. If you need a beautiful space with a good selection of small bites and have hours to spare, e.g. a special event, then this place is for you. If you are interested in a full meal, and have only 2-3 hours for a meal, this is not the place for you.

The food was at best just ok, some things had no flavor so I didn't even understand what I was eating. Zero Flavor, creativity or taste. The quality of food and taste at best should have been $100 a person not $250 a person. After telling them that its a bday and asking about dancing they still gave us a shitty table in what looked like a senior citizens vip area (We specifically called and booked ahead to make sure we got a good area) " they lied about dancing . They said dancing starts at 9:00pm THERE'S NO DANCING! Just vibe music which was actually great but dont call it dancing!

    I can't believe I've been living in the Hudson Valley for so long and didn't know about this place!…read moreHad a lovely evening listening to fabulous music and eating with friends. The menu is a bit limited, but what we had was good -- sort of shared antipasto as opposed to having a big meal. The service was wonderful -- and the place attracts a wonderful crowd; good folks who enjoy good music and being together. I can't wait to go back!

    We remain big fans of Jazz Forum in Tarrytown as they continue to have impressive talent throughout…read morethe years we have attended their many performances. Friday and Saturday evenings tickets range $25 (students) to $35 (adults). Sets are basically at 7pm and 9pm. On Sundays they feature smooth Brazilian Jazz and/or Samba sets at 4pm or 6pm, tickets range $15 (students) to $20 (adults). We have had the pleasure to see performances by Ravi Coltrane and his quartet, Renee Rosnes quartet, Bill Charlap, Joey Francesco, Joe Farnsworth, Eric Alexander, and a few others. A small menu consists of: cocktails, wines and beer, plus various appetizers, a few entrees at an added cost. The room has many small tables, and a few high tops for seating. Owners, Ellen and Mark have put their hearts into the venue through the years. They are often present, with a very friendly and welcoming staff. Jazz Forum also has educational Jazz programs for children available on their website. Jazz Forum is a perfect venue to enjoy some awesome talent in the Westchester area! Donations are welcome.
