The food was decent but the service could use some work ! Waited 30+ min to order a drink at a table of 8. Flavor was lacking a bit on calamari and grilled chicken wrap was terrible . The tartar sauce had an expired taste and an unpleasant color. read more

Horrible food. Canned lobster for the lobster rolls. Dry chicken. Pictured is their "fettuccine Alfredo". Their Big Mozz Sticks are barely normally size. Margarita was watery. Just horrible. read more

Ok first of all this is La Marina (IYKYK) and it seems to be under new management/ownership. Needless to say parking is HORRIBLE so I parked in the garage 2 blocks away. But this visit was prompted by the promotion of The Big 3....DJ Jon Quick was AH MAZING!! Needless to say the vibes were all there. I did make a reservation as to to avoid standing around hungry. What I did love is that there is no time limit to sitting/eating/drinking. I was there for about 2hrs. Now, the food is mid. But let me tell you....so apparently they cooked the food outside and this day is was hella windy so when they brought me my food it was cold. The fish, rice and peas, and plantain. Yuck!! Cold escovitch fish bites. So I sent it back cause, no. So they gave me fresh fish but kept the cold rice and peas and plantain. Sigh. I also ordered the pitcher of piña colada. That was really tasty. I'll give it another try later when the weather gets better. So .....to be continued read more

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. read more

Great views, terrible service. Went here for my partner's family end of summer gathering. The atmosphere was great and the views were wonderful but we were starving. They were severely understaffed, and overwhelmed. The miscommunication between the staff and host resulted in us waiting over an hour for my meal to arrive. Each order trickled out like molasses. At one point I had to go remind the server of my order and that's when it was finally put in. Once my food arrived it was good overall. I would only go back for drinks, vibes, and view. read more

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! read more

Location, location, location! I went for brunch today and picked this place after seeing the location on Google maps. I was heading home to CT after partying-it-up in mid-town over the weekend and it was a convenient stop. The location is the best thing about this restaurant. Sitting on the deck with views of the Hudson and GW bridge is quite nice if you don't mind commercial airliners flying above you constantly. I had the chicken sandwich, fries and a cup of coffee. The fries were good...hot, fresh, crisp. The chicken sandwich was meh...the bun crumbled during my first bite. It had plenty of tomato and arugula on it but barely a small dollop of guacamole. I get it...avocados are expensive. The chicken was tasty but a bit dry. My coffee was barely lukewarm...I would have liked a top-off but our server was MIA after our food was ordered until it was time to pay. Our server was courteous but not attentive in the least. The meal and experience mirrored what one would get at an Applebees or TGIF. The view made up for it! read more

You'd see the expansive views at this pier, extending down the Hudson all the way towards downtown and back up towards Westchester and the Palisades, and you'd think to yourself "there's no way anyone could screw this up" to which The Hudson would clearly say "Hold our beer." Service was painfully slow and confused--took about 15 min just to place our order--then just to heighten the tension, the server who finally took our order came over another 10 minutes later not with drinks or an update, but to ask if anyone had helped us yet--yes, you, we had hoped! Ultimately took about 40 minutes for food to arrive (with drinks at same time). We were at least a bit prepared though--each table we were seated between had an issue--one woman didn't get her salad until after everyone else was finished and the bill arrived, and on the other side, they got their app after dinner--in both cases they were comped--but judging by our neighbors faces, the damage was already done. Food was about as bad as I feared--my girlfriend ordered a lobster grilled cheese which somehow just came out cold--untoasted roll, cold cheese... just bad. I fared a tiny bit better, as the lobster bisque was mediocre and the chicken in my Cobb salad had a nice sear, but the lettuce was wilty and tomatoes looked like prepackaged pico de gallo blob or something. And think you could come here just for drinks and views? The sign outside the restaurant advertising "The World's Best Pina Coladas" seemed like a bitter joke. My pina was an off yellow color and terrible--tasted like bottom shelf rum and, I dunno, yellow food coloring over crushed ice. They comped that too for being so late--I'd like to be kinder, but it was just so terrible, from start to wait to finish--I can't in good conscience even splurge for two stars here. read more

Great view! Terrible food, even worse service! It's like the staff are actively trying to get the place shut down! Would never come here again. read more

The food is overpriced and honestly not that great. Service was not great, was rushed to order also the drinks were really watered down. Ambiance was really nice but it's been nice since La Marina. read more

Pros: the location. It's right along the Hudson River. Can rent part of the place out for a party if needed. Cons: drinks were okay, nothing to brag about. The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered calamari and it was like eating rubber. Also ordered brussel sprouts. Those were okay. Honestly, if you come here, just get drinks, enjoy the views, and head to another place for food. Parking is a pain too. I think this place needs a new cook/chef. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Hudson - Views - New American Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

We made a reservation for dinner on Oct 4 @ 5. We noticed Valet Parking offered on the home page. We drove just over an hour, directly to the restaurant. First problem, no valet parking. The hostess suggested a parking garage 2 blocks away. While I went to the garage, my wife checked in. Just as I pulled into the garage, my wife called to let me know the hostess told her the restaurant was not serving dinner. To quote the hostess she had no idea when the kitchen would be open. In short, no valet parking, no dinner and a long ride home. Very disappointing. read more

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!!!! read more

The Hudson - The view - New American Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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). read more

This place used to be called La Marina, everyone still calls it that lol. The new owners got rid of the hookah, the insane parties and all the other bad stuff that had made this place unpleasant after the sun went down. Now what you are left with is a beautiful space with some good food. The menu has a BBQ heavy section, your regular burger type stuff and it also has a sushi section (not sure if they're still serving sushi during covid). They also have some insanely big ice cream sandwiches, I recommend two people share, otherwise you'll be rolled out of there. Came here twice before they closed for the season, the service wasn't 100% smooth, but you can tell they are working hard to work out the kinks. One thing to keep in mind is that there are multiple outdoor areas with different vibes. Right by the entrance (left) that area has some couches and picnic tables with some games in the middle. Towards the back it feels more private and still right by the water. There's another section wayyyy to the back (right of the structure) which feels like a temporary? structure, not sure of the deal there, but the views in this area are obstructed. All that is to say, try to request a table in the two areas with unobstructed views of the river/bridge, the sunset here is amazing! read more

When good service and food meets great location, then you have The Hudson Cafe and Bar. The whole Inwood scene is changing, but one of the best places to chill while enjoying the Hudson's waterview is from their terrace, especially if you're having a nice drink at sunset time. New management and all their staff are determined to make your visit a great time. If you live in the area, you'll become regular, and if you're passing through, this is a must visit. Seasonal movie nights on Mondays are so much fun, and there's always live entertainment before presentations. Strongly recommended by @Aventure.dos and @SoIsayIcancook read more

This place was my go to dinner option last year. They used to have incredible food, and drinks that were both cheap and strong. The wait was always long for food, but it was worth it. Flash forward one year and the wait is still there, but the food options have been dramatically reduced. They went from delicious seafood boils to chicken fingers. The wait did not improve. I was there on a weekday and it took 40 minutes for our friend to get chicken fingers. The head chef here is definitely a microwave. Maybe I could forgive the horrible food quality if the drink price and quality remained the same. However, I paid $70 (after tax) for a pitcher of frozen margarita that barely had any booze in it. This place used to be an institution. Now it's a travesty. read more

I'm learning that I need to read reviews! Staying in Washington Heights. A friend said this place was lovely and drew a lively crowd. I should have researched it more First warning was on a Friday night, and the place was DEAD. The second issue was the prevalence of bugs. Yes, it's an open air space and bugs are drawn to light, but there are things you do to keep your customers from being covered in flying insects. I mean on the table. Stick to the water bottle. Landing in my hair?! The third issue was the food was horrid. I mean one bite, spit it out bad. This was the calamari. I don't know what that was, but that rubbery horrible tasting stuff was not calamari and not palatable. The two good things were the daiquiri. It was divine. And the view. Otherwise. A wasted trip. Oh and money. Three drinks. Calamari and fries. $75?! At these prices, I expect you to know to plant lotsa lavender and treat the area to deter bugs. Oh and serve real calamari read more

When we arrived they said they were not ready for our reservation. 15 minutes later we get sat in a corner far away from the water, not in the location we requested. Then we waited about an hour for our food. Unfortunately terrible wait staff occupy a gorgeous location. Price was also high for four mozzarella sticks. Food was high quality, but not high quality enough to make up for a sub-par complete experience. read more

I've been here twice now, once for lunch date with a friend, and once to grab a beer after a long day walking around and exploring the nearby parks. For lunch my friend had the impossible burger, I had the regular beef burger and fries. They were not great - boring and bland. Second time I don't really have anything to complain since I just ordered a beer, but I remember thinking it was kinda on the pricy side. The space itself is amazing - there's a huge outdoor space with views down the Hudson River, and a big indoor space too. Yet whenever I've been here it's been basically empty which I guess speaks to it's reputation. read more

Though CoVid has changed the way they probably do ordering I'd say this is a worth the trip. I had the brisket sandwich which was delicious . Not much sauce needed to make this delicious sandwich better. Slow Smokey goodness Highly recommend. We also had chicken tenders with the Bang Bang Sauce. Excellent appetizers. We also had the watermelon Daiquiri and Watermelon Margarita. Both came fast and actually packed a great hidden punch even though a frozen slush based drink. The main advantage is enjoying the wonderful breezes on the Hudson River and the great views. They are worth a visit on a nice day. The only reason for losing a star is the service and the app. We waited what seemed a half hour for our appetizers but the drinks came almost instantly. Also the app has you determine the tip before your order not after you receive it. Not the best way to do it. read more

A wonderful spot on the waterfront uptown. I came in the late afternoon with my family, and it was definitely a nice experience. I will note, that if you're sitting outside, seating is first come first served, so you have to be on the lookout for a good spot to open up depending on what you're looking for (there were 3 of us, and we wanted the low couches instead of the picnic table & bench combo. The food was DELISH, and the drinks were on point as well. We stayed for a few hours eating, drinking, talking, laughing and dancing to the live music. Overall, a fantastic time! read more

Horrific wait. So long that we ended up getting our own water. Waiter came over 15 minutes later to take our order, not realizing he never gave us a menu. Then he took the menu from the table next to us and handed it to us. Took another 20+ minutes for him to return and take our order. The food was subpar and over priced. For the price they charge, they' could've used actual plates, silverware and cups. Nope. Plastic plates, plastic fork and knives that look like they came from KFC, and small plastic cups for water. They did put my lemonade in a dirty glass cup (thank you for that). Perhaps plastic is the better choice if they don't know how to properly wash/clean. The check took another 25 minutes to print after we asked for it. In short, the entire staff is poorly trained (if at all), the food is awful and over priced, and the wait is horrific. All leading to customers not wanting to tip bc of poor service experience (bad management team and work culture). They survive on the price people pay for alcohol. Pretentious and should be shut down. Eventually, I hope someone who actually understands the hospitality business gets a shot at this real estate. read more

We came on tuesday afternoon, płace was not that bussy. We ordered quite few appetizers: Calamari were just okay little greasy to our liking, Kung Pao cauliflower not good at all, very bland Chicken wings pretty decent I think the best out of all things we got Mussels quite good, generously portioned We also ordered drinks daiquiri and margaritas which were really good. The best thing about this place and the highlight of the evening was the service. Our server Walty was simply the best, super friendly, professional and was going out of his way to make our experience the best possible. We will come back just for him. Thank You Walty for the best service and for making our evening unforgettable. read more

We never see such horrible management. I've been coming here for years and this has to be the worst time. Drinks aren't terrible but they don't even mix the flavors into the frozen drinks just squirt the syrup on there and let you figure it out. Managers are very strange i think they might be under the influence because of weird behavior. Food sucks. Raw meat and under cooked pasta we paid for it but didn't like. Water took 20 minutes to come to the table after we keep asking. Many staff do not understand English even if you just ask for something simple. No wonder the place is empty this is what happens when you have poor leadership! What a waste of a beautiful venue. read more

Went for Father's Day and was looking for some good BBQ and unfortunately it was okay. I had the chicken which was cooked well but the sauce was a little odd. The potatoes and corn had no seasoning or flavoring. We also had the brisket which was a tad over cooked which made it a little drier. The garlic mash didn't taste like there was any garlic in it. The crab legs was definitely the best part of the meal. The mild is still a little spicy. The Henny punch a little pricey especially since you could not taste the Henny. Also, order a Jack sour that lacked the sour but definitely not complaining about that. First time here as they have taken over from the old La Marina, so I am willing to give it another shot. read more
