The best thing about this place is the view. It is located on the Hudson and has a really nice outdoor area with cozy couches throughout the space in addition to tables and chairs to dine at. The service varied quite a bit depending upon the staff member that approached the table. Our party was initially sat outside due to a private event wrapping up inside. It was very cold near the water and we were eventually move inside. Most people liked their food which is basically American fare, however others felt it wasn't the best. Issues like the buns on the burgers were somewhat soggy due to the condiments that were spread on them. My order was slightly wrong but I didn't bother complaining. I would return only for the drinks, appetizers and the view.

I enjoy this place because of their views and their drinks. It's a great spot during warmer seasons to sit outdoors and enjoy a good drinks and great views. The service is usually great. This is a 10-15 min walk from the subway station.

Best about this place is the ambience, it's on the marina. Beautiful outdoor spot. Service was ok, There aren't many food options. Some listed on the menu are not available. Drinks are pricey for brunch $18 for a small glass Pina Colada.

I always like to check out restaurants on the Hudson and this one definitely had a nice vibe to it. We went really early so it wasn't crowded at all. Got to sit outside to enjoy the view. Can't really say much about the food because I didn't order much but I'll be back for sure.. We did have the Pork Belly and Cajun Fried Shrimp. Both were really good! Kate was our waitress and she was great very informative and kind!

The location and views here are five stars. It would be an awesome spot to hang out and get drinks, with ample covered and outdoor seating including patio furniture couch seating. Their frozen pina colada was probably the best my friends have ever had. Incredibly creamy and delicious. Afditionally, our server was great, friendly and attentive! But I can't give more than three stars because the food is just so sub par. We had the ceviche, which we didn't care for, it was just baby shrimp, and came with very stale chips. We also had the fried calamari, which was alright, just your average fried calamari from anywhere. Their baha fish tacos were very dry. Their mac and cheese lacked any flavor, just bowtie pasta in a milky sauce that came topped with unmelted shredded cheddar. The hot dog and onion rings were standard.

My job rented this place for an event and the food was okay at best (served buffet style), the drinks were watered down (which is understanding since it was a work event), the workers were overwhelmed by the amount of people there but at least they were nice. My favorite part about this place was the view so I feel like I need to come back when it's open to the public to try their made to order food and drinks and get a good sense of the place. I wouldn't recommend anyone to book this place for their private event (as imo that was an okay experience at best) but I'm open to coming back and seeing the vibes when it's open to the public.

We came here a couple of times since the switch from La Marina. The first in 2018 was a blast. The second in 2019 was fun today we came in at 6:30 on a Wednesday and the place is empty. Should have left. We ordered two virgin Pina Colada for the kids. They wouldn't drink them. Said they tasted like a cross between Sprite and dishwater. Replaced them with Mountain Dew which was from the fountain and apparently no syrup. For dinner the lobster roll was old and stale. The casino clams has no flavor. You couldn't even taste the bacon. When can you not taste bacon? The mussels were dry and stale. My son had a shrimp boil. The shrimp was still frozen in the middle, the sausage - never saw that consistency before. The Birria tacos were bland and I added salt. Then I pulled a glob of fat out like I've never seen. Finally, mac and cheese. Tasted like milk. I don't know what happened here but I know why they are empty. Don't do it. You'll regret it. The view is pretty and no one was in our way!!!!

This is a fairly new establishment. I remember when this space was La Marina and coming here for a lit Yelp Elite event. The place is just as breathtaking with beautiful views of the Hudson River, lights strewn everywhere, and spacious outdoor seating. The menu is quite extensive, and I was debating between BBQ (ribs, of course) or one of the entrée plates. I finally decided to order a Combination Taco Plate, served with coconut rice and plantains. I selected 2 Shrimp Tacos, and 1 Corn with Mushroom Taco. The Shrimp Tacos consisted of shrimp, corn mango salsa, and avocado crema. This was delicious! The shrimp was plentiful, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The Corn and Mushroom Taco included cotija cheese, and crema. This was also tasty. The vegetables were wonderfully fresh and cooked perfectly. All the ingredients combined together well to make for yummy bites! I really enjoyed the plantains, which were just the right amount of sweetness, soft, moist, and slightly charred. The rice was also great with strong coconut taste, as well as a nice consistency. My friend had the BBQ Rib Tips, so I got to try some and they were absolutely mouthwatering! These were house smoked and finished with homemade BBQ sauce. They were small morsels of incredibly tender, delightfully succulent, satisfyingly crispy, and deeply flavorful meat! Service was pretty good throughout our time. There were a few mix-ups when it came to the different sushi rolls that were ordered, but our waiter was eager to make it right. We had a lovely experience here. I would be open to returning to have the Coconut Shrimp and Ribs, but it probably won't be for awhile because I live quite far from this restaurant.

At long last after fifteen (15) torrid months of a pandemic, lockdown and closings the City of New York is resurfacing to normalcy or at least as close to normalcy as possible. Wary continues. Formerly known as La Marina which closed and re-opened as The Hudson. It is a waterfront lounge and restaurant consisting of very mediocre drinks and substandard detrimental customer service. There was only one measly bar tender name Jose C. to serve patrons and he was busy concocting drinks for other patrons ignoring my party of two until and inevitable ten minutes later. He did not acknowledge my party's physical presence with a simple "hi, how are you? I'll be right with you." After work to chill in hopes of expelling fifteen (15) torrid months of essential work in-person physically at the office, abject frustration, stress, utter anxiety and sheer exhaustion was rated MEH! My co-worker and I ordered: Watermelon frozen Daiquiri - $14.00 Truly a frozen delight which is a good cool down for a day's end of hot humid summer's day. Pina Colada creamy semi frozen - $14.00 Awful! It was not frozen nor served extremely cold and I had to request cherries from the bar tender name Jose C. who does not by default embedded as industry standard. Fresh cherries are part of this alcoholic drink! It was served with one piece of dried stale pineapple, but not fresh. Patrons flock to The Hudson mainly for the view of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge, NOT for the food, drink nor customer service. The staff discreetly, I believe, intake the view as well which is a big distraction to their work of servicing customers portraying a substandard detrimental food, drink and hospitality service level. There are abundant outdoor seating of couches, high chairs where patrons can relax and eyes affixed to the view of overlooking Hudson River. No comment on the food as neither I nor my co-worker intake any - as the reviews are accurate. I wither from despond - utter slough of despond. Dismay. Discontent. Disappointment. Note: NYC COVID-19 surcharge 3.50% is automatically affixed to one's bill.

Not my first time at The Hudson, definitely my first review. The raw oyster were fresh and delicious. My sushi spicy combo was great. The tuna poke bowl was great as well. Highly suggest these three plates. Despite a private event happening at The Hudson, the staff was great, attentive and explained to us in advance that all waiters/waitresses we first to let us know. One of the bartenders went as far as to ask me if I was ok with the food it was too much sushi for me to eat and insisted on talking to the manager to take off the bill. I had to stress the fact that it was great sushi and (sorry, forgot his name).

This is just the old LaMarina under new management I'm guessing?

Not really as there are no parties and large events like La Marina used to have.

Went to The Armory in NYC for Nike Nationals and overall the experience was amazing. Watching these…read moreyoung athletes compete at such a high level was really impressive. One of the best parts of the event was how they introduced the elite runners. They turned the lights off in the arena, announced each athlete individually, and they ran out onto the track with sparks shooting up. That whole presentation was fire and really made the moment feel special for the athletes and the crowd. The atmosphere was great and you could feel the excitement in the building. My only complaint is about some of the staff (not all). I had been sitting in a section for over four hours after being told by one worker that it was fine to sit there. Later on, a few other workers came over and told me I had to move. It wasn't even the request that bothered me--it was the way it was delivered. When you're dealing with adults, especially paying guests who've been there for hours, it's all about how you communicate. At one point it felt like they were all teaming up like Voltron instead of just getting a supervisor to clear things up. Situations like that can easily be avoided with better customer service and communication. Needless to say I didn't go anywhere until my daughter ran off the principal. Aside from that situation, the event itself was great. The competition, the energy in the building, and the way they highlight the elite athletes made it a really memorable experience.

The warmup area is way too small, so from the athlete's perspective, that made it very hard to prepare for the race. I ended up running laps outside with my athlete to get her warmed up, which many others were doing, so even that was hard. I get space is limited in NYC, but with 3 floors, they could have done a better job providing space for the athletes to prepare for their race. My runner lived the track itself, it was a great track.

In hindsight we should have asked before we went and we missed the half of the game trying to get home but what can you do.
