We had such a great dinner here last night. The restaurant is super cozy with a small bar right at the front, making it feel both inviting and intimate. The tables are spaced out so well that you're never on top of other guests, which I really appreciated. On top of that, the playlist was on point, adding to the relaxed but stylish atmosphere. The service was on point the whole night, making the experience even better. We kicked things off with bone marrow for me and grilled Spanish octopus plus the chef's special carrot parsnip soup for my date. Everything was delicious. The bone marrow was rich and buttery, exactly how it should be. For the entrée, I had the chef's special lamb chops, and they were fantastic. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and so tender. My date ordered the grilled hanger steak, which looked just as good. Judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say it was a hit. Dessert was a little all over the place in the best way. I had the sticky toffee pudding cake, which I really liked. We also tried the crack pie, but I wasn't a huge fan of that one. Not bad, just not for me. Then there was a mystery dessert. I tried looking it up, but nothing on the menu matched what we had. Whatever it was, it was really good, so I'm guessing it was another chef's special. Solid meal all around. Great food, great service, and definitely a spot I would come back to.

Potato leek soup

Great ambiance. Courteous staff. Owner was fantastic and down to earth. Food left us wanting more. Potato leek soup, tuna crudo, gnocchi, scallops and the elk chop are all highly recommended! Can't wait to return!

Wagu blend burger with garlic butter one of the fabulous bar only specials

Excellent!! after roaming around the fabulous Nyack street fair yesterday we popped in for a Perfect pint at Olde Village inn, we asked the bartender for a recommendation for dinner and Caroline recommended The Hudson house. The menu looked amazing and we're excited but we're worried we weren't dressed appropriately, Caroline insured us we woke fit in just fine. I personally love to dine at the bar when possible especially with a great bartender like Izzy. We were the first ones there by accident which can feel funny but Izzy was so warm and welcoming and very eager to meet us and tell us about the epic menu and the show stopping desserts. We told Izzy our drink preferences and he nailed it each drink. We started with a dozen oysters that were incredible and shocked perfectly. Then followed that with the bone marrow which had a tasteful amount of chimichurri sauce and a side of crunchy salt to use for your liking. It was delicious! We were temped to next get the octopus but needed room for the "bar only specials" which is a brilliant idea very unique. It was a wagu blend cheese burger with arugula and a delicious black garlic spread and perfectly cooked fries. Perfect for sharing! A dinner isn't complete without an espresso martini! I highly recommend this place to any food enthusiast and fan of wine, spirits and excellent desserts. Lastly the decor was also amazing. The chef's not only designs top notch desserts he also did the wood work art along the bar. I also loved the pictures of all the people in the back of the restaurant over the course of there decades of business. Lastly the history is incredible it use to be the village hall and jailhouse! They incorporated the jail into a wine cellar that seats two people for a fun drink before or after dinner. Highly give this place a 10 out of 10 for excellent food, drink, service and vibes! Check them out and tell Izzy Stacey says hi!

Dear Yelp, PLEASEEEE allow me to rate Hudson House with more than 5 stars because 5 stars is just not enough to rate the quality of food, service and ambiance of The Hudson House. I have been going to Hudson House since I was 12 years old and the quality, creativity and passion for elevating seasonal ingredients has never changed. It has been a Nyack NY staple for as long as I can remember, even some of the servers are the same! They truly take the time to perfect each dish and are very attentive to each customer. The locals are like family at Hudson House, they remember small details about their customers. Hudson House has heart and soul. The ambiance gives quiet luxury and a rustic charm. It's not pretentious, it's intimate and remains with its humble charm. I usually go for dinner and get the braised beef short rib with creamy polenta and baby carrots. It's a rich, stick to your ribs sort of meal, would 100% recommend. The butternut squash soup is creamy, sweet and light. My friend had a half roasted chicken with pickled peppers and asparagus which was also equally as tasty as the short rib and juicy. I am a sweets girly so I obvi ordered more than one to try. The sticky toffee pudding IS A MUST. The banana cream pie was okay but if you like banana cream pie, you'll enjoy it. The orange cake was so flavorful and surprising. They also gave a tasting sample of an apple dessert which was amazing. The pastry chef is usually inspired and tries new recipes all the time so they give a small sample of a new dessert that would most likely make the seasonal menu. Anyway, if you have read this far then you have must be interested in trying the restaurant and now you have to go! It's a great place to treat yourself, special occasions and more. Happy eating!

Was looking for a dining experience and came across Hudson House. Went in for Mother's Day as their menu was excellent. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. We had our drinks and our server came, his name was Greg! Greg made our experience amazing. He not only explained the menu but was also very attentive. He also cleaned our table every time we get our food/drinks. We started with drinks, it was fantastic but a bit pricey. We had an amazing food! (Chefs kiss) for apps we got some salads and soups for entree, we got hanger steak, scallops, branzino and beef braised short ribs. We tried mostly everything for dessert (some pictures were not included) Ambiance was also good and the place was clean! The owner, Mr. Hudson was great and thanked us for dining with them. He was also very nice and helped servers clean up! The total of what we ate was a bit pricey, for 8 cocktails, 5 apps, 5 entrees and 5 dessert came to almost $750 including the tip. Will we come back definitely for special events.

Exquisite! Hudson House has been here for a very long time and has a few great things going for it. Parking is available throughout Nyack. It's free after 7 PM. The entrance takes you into an unassuming bar that felt very casual. We were greeted with friendly faces and plenty of welcomes. The owner reserved a nice table for us on our anniversary. What stood out most for me here was the food and definitely the service. They really have standards here. A coaster fell on the floor? We'll get you another. Not sure what wine you want? We'll bring you some samples? Dissatisfied with anything and they'll make it right. I saw this at a neighborhood table when they weren't too happy with their bone marrow app. The port old fashioned was tasty and nicely crafted. My wife's paloma was perfectly made to order, not too sweet. The octopus appetizer was tender and I liked the jalapeno flavoring with it. After a while, it felt like too many potatoes in it though. Both the duck entree and Berkshire pork chop were enjoyed. For me, it was the best pork chop I've ever had in my life. Outstanding and a must try if you like chops. Mind you, a Berkshire chop isn't just an ordinary pork chop. (Google it...) And, they cooked it perfectly! Crisp outside and super thick juicy meat inside. Very flavorful too. Desserts are homemade here and the chef knows what he's doing. The banana cream pie had a thin layer of crust, bit of chocolate and wonderful creamy filling. The whipped cream on top was homemade and not too sweet. It was all very balanced. The toffee was tasty too, though a little overwhelmingly sweet. Overall, the service and standards here are superb. You'll really enjoy yourself. That said, our meal probably cost double what we typically spend elsewhere. For me though, on the occasion, it was really worth it and I would return. Ps. Cash and credit prices are clearly marked.

Extra dirty martini
Chand R.

Food was delicioussssssss we had the cheese plate, gnudi, and spaghetti . Fantastic textures not too oily and the cocktails were perfect. Had a extra dirty martini and glass of Napa Cabernet. My wallet hurt but it was all worth it. I was happy.

The paccheri is amazing here. the food and the drinks taste so good I have never had any better pasta than this 10/10 definitely would recommend this place to eat at. - my 12 old daughters review! As soon we entered, we received the warmest welcome. From the minute we got here the service was top tier. The food though, SO full of flavor. All the way from Arizona, we will absolutely be returning!

But I was told by the  bartender was his really great espresso martini, and it was excellent

See all
