Jem RobinsonMay 13, 2017Great food, a really cozy, chilled, local-spot atmosphere and we had a great server.- Mariel LëmairNovember 8, 2016My love for "secret" restaurants took me here. Excellent cocktails + crispy duck breast.
Ben LeeMarch 22, 2014The johnnycakes are amazing. As a six dollar side they're practically giving them away
Annie ChuFebruary 5, 2012They are almost a 1 Michelin Star restaurant. Look for the line open'g in the wall off Morton at Hudson (SW corner) dinner- duck. Weekend brunch- all good!
Allison KaminskiJanuary 31, 2015For lunch, chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread is awesome!! Get the fries on the side!! Great aioli!- Chad HornerAugust 10, 2016sit at the chef's counter if you can! or on the patio! try as much of the food as you can
Avin NarasimhanJune 19, 2015great space, and excellent food. gnocchi was a highlight, as was the cheese plate.
Syndicate Media GroupAugust 11, 2011NYC [Eat, Drink] Hudson Clearwater is the best new (and hidden!) cocktail and dinner spot south of 14th Street. Try the Hudson Mule cocktail!
jake furstApril 27, 2011The clams, kale, gnocchi and lemon broth app is excellent (and an interesting combo). Pork was very good, and much better than the flank steak.
Tom🐳 LimongelloAugust 6, 2014Damn the scrambled eggs are good here. Yes you'll have the toast with them.
Living Jazz ArchiveJune 17, 2018Here it’s about the freshness of the ingredients. You can taste in the salads - even the eggs!
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2012The atmosphere is very warm and charming and the entire space helps create the illusion that you are no longer in NYC but at an upstate manor.
Virginie Martin-OnraetJuly 9, 2013Very cute backyard. Not crowded. Nice waiters/esses. Crab Madame and Brioche French toasts <3
SparkieJanuary 15, 2013Unmarked, go around the side to walk in through the patio. The bar only seats about 15 people so again the recommendation is to get a reservation for dinner.
Allie PalmadessoOctober 19, 2021Amazing everything. The short rib and the bread pudding dessert are can’t miss
Tash KouriJanuary 21, 2013I just died and went to butter heaven. Highlights for our table included the Hanger Steak and Crispy Duck.
Joshua BoggsSeptember 2, 2016This place is a gem. If the weather is right, check out the patio in the back.
Samantha BrydenMay 8, 2018Breakfast and lunch are best times to come. Sit in the back garden if you can!
Jodi HarrisJuly 1, 2012The farro is incredible. End the meal with the brown sugar cake - great balance of sweet and tart.
Lauren WoodNovember 25, 2016Everything especially the duck!!! Baz killed it on the cocktails as well.
Lindsay SAugust 2, 2016Nothing memorable about the meal except feeling like it was overpriced, the space is nice but dinner was lacking in flavor. Had the artichokes, ravioli and sea bass.
UyennieJuly 13, 2013make a reservation. get the crispy duck. finish with the chocolate pot de creme. have someone else pay.
Ashley SimonJanuary 25, 2013Address says Hudson but the entrance is through an unmarked courtyard door on Morton.
Megan WintersteenSeptember 26, 2012Get. The. Clams. Oh and best lemon dessert I've ever had. And I don't like lemon desserts.
Hot cocktail ... Spicy Tequila, Beet, Lime Juice, Peppered Salt ... Incredible
Justin FerrantiJuly 26, 2016Delicious food, slow service, back outdoor patio is fun in warmer months
Catherine CaiJune 20, 2014Duchess: gin, averell damson plum, earl grey tea, blackberries, lemon, agave
