“Just had the most amazing impromptu experience! A quick but delicious dinner in their formal dinner where the decor was stunning to say the least. The food, the presentation, the service were all outstanding! The three of us could not have enjoyed the evening anymore than we did. A million thanks yous to the staff and ownership!!“

“We had a family celebration meal in the private dining room. 5 stars plus! Everything was amazing! Couldn’t have been be more pleased.“

“Owner is awesome!!! Food is amazing- I am addicted to the Rice Porridge 🌾🍚🤍 (Should be called Heaven in a Cup)“

“Ok, Poured Candle Bar has EXCEEDED my expectations! I honestly thought it was going to be one of those places where you just pick your favorite scents, they mix it all together, and you hope for the best that it comes together and actually smells good lol.

Our girl Kristin did a phenomenal job curating our experience. She took the time to get to know each person in our group through thoughtful questions and really listened to our answers, which made the whole experience feel so personalized and fun. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and since we were from out of town, she even gave us some great local recommendations!

1000/10 recommend this as a cute bachelorette activity, girls' day, or just something fun to do for funsies!“

“Today a Was the first time we had ordered from you we were very happy with the person that took the order we had quite a large amount and order andoorder and the food was great and it only took 20 minutes thank you for your time and great food we will be back again we only live around the corner“

“We were out and about in Hudson today and we were a little hungry so we stopped into kitties and I had probably one of the best egg sandwiches I ever had. I highly recommend the egg sandwich with sauerkraut. The vibe in there was very comfortable iced coffee Was nice and strong. They had a great bakery selection and a lot of local products. So if you’re coming out of the train station in Hudson, I say swing by kitties you won’t be sorry.“

“Upper Depot hosted an informal get together for graduates of Claverack Elementary School this past Friday. The food, drinks, and staff were all awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to hold an event at this facility in the future, or just have a beer or drink (and some food) after a long day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.“

“My husband and I had our 90-guest wedding at the Vanderbilt on 6/8/24 and it could not have been any better. We found the Vanderbilt on Airbnb when looking for a unique wedding venue, visited it in January of 2023, and booked it instantly- didn’t even see another venue. As stated in previous reviews, Henrietta made the planning process as easy as possible. We communicated mainly via email, but she allowed us to come to the space as often as we needed (I think between both of our families we were there 3 times). She also provided a list of vendors that previous wedding parties had used at the Vanderbilt, which I used for our planner, tent company, shuttle company and photographer (all great). When it came time for the tasting, we were provided with an extensive menu of food and drinks curated by Matt. We were blown away by the food. As the wedding day approached, Henrietta was easy to communicate with and flexible. She helped us plan a thorough rainy day plan B, and was the bearer of good news when she called me 2 days prior to tell me the weather looked good and we were going with plan A. The weekend of the wedding was incredible. Our families stayed in the 8 rooms upstairs Friday and Saturday night. Henrietta and Matt were in early on Saturday to get everything prepared. Their team was incredible. After the ceremony, Henrietta greeted us with champagne and a congratulations. When cocktail hour ended and we realized we were so busy that we didn’t even eat our appetizers, Henrietta put together a plate for us and brought it over. I’ve heard from a number of guests that the food was the best they’ve had at a wedding, and I agree. It’s important to note that the staff was also FUN to have around. Bartenders and servers interacted with guests and kept the energy light and fun. The next morning, Matt prepared a great breakfast (much needed) for those staying at the Vanderbilt, even including some leftovers of our banana pudding dessert from the night before. Now let’s quickly talk about the space. The Vanderbilt Lakeside is the most unique space I’ve ever seen. Each room has its own personality and is decorated meticulously and beautifully. I only had to bring in decorations for the tables, as the venue itself was already perfect. The deck was a perfect fit for our 90-person dinner. The lawn, outdoor bar, and lawn games were a hit for those who wanted to chill out rather than dance. The Bar room was the perfect size for our musicians and a dance floor. The rooms upstairs are clean, all about the same size, and all have their own bathrooms to make for a comfortable stay. Overall, I cannot recommend the Vanderbilt enough. We’re racking our brains for an excuse to host another event there. Henrietta and Matt are incredible to work with!“

“This place is one of my most favourite in the area.

What I love:
1. Plant-forward menu that uses clean whole food ingredients (get the vegan breakfast or kimchi avo toast)

2. Amazing bev options--love the dirty chai + the stormy london.

3. Solid inclusive community hub showcasing local artists, makers, musicians + farms!

4. Super welcoming and kind crew of folks who enjoy what they do!

Eat here. Hang out here. Tell your people about it.“

“We had a hard time finding the place at first. but we're glad we did. :) Good beer, good vibe and the food was delicious. We had a smashburger and fries, the deviled eggs, and the hand cut chicken bites which I loved and were served with the tastiest ranch sauce I've ever had. Will definitely come back again next time we're in the area.“

“Veggie rice bowl with crispy tofu was one of the best things I've ever eaten!“

“The Juice Branch has amazing smoothies, bowls and sandwiches. Everyone in our family loves eating there including our kids (who are 1 and 4). George who runs the place is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet and gives the place a great welcoming vibe. The smoothie menu has dozens of options but our favorites are the Showtime and the Downtown Stroll. I also recommend whatever wrap they are currently offering with oyster mushrooms.“

“I’d first like to state that we are local and go here all the time. I’ve just never taken the time to write a review, although the food is always delicious. But today was especially good. Our waiter customized a sandwich on the menu to accommodate my spicy food preference and it was so good! It will be what i order every time i go back! I just hope he gets a little shout out for the great service! Thanks so much and see you soon!“

“Great atmosphere & amazing food“

“Had an awesome visit to this new brewery in Hudson. The beers I had were awesome. Just phenomenal! Will definitely be returning soon! Beautiful space also with an awesome patio!“

“Burger to rave about. 👍👍👍“

“Excellent food and cocktails“

“I recently attended a conference at The Wick in Hudson, and it was an excellent experience. The event was exceptionally well organized, the food was delicious, and the venue itself was beautiful.

I had the opportunity to see one of the guest rooms, which was comfortable, modern, and inviting. The lobby and bar area create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and make a wonderful first impression.

One of my favorite parts of the visit was learning about the hotel’s history. The Wick is named after the building’s original use as a candle factory, and the artwork throughout the hotel beautifully reflects that heritage. I appreciated how the developers preserved the building’s history while transforming it into such an elegant and welcoming space.

Whether you’re attending a conference, hosting an event, or planning a stay, I highly recommend The Wick. It’s a wonderful blend of Hudson’s rich history, thoughtful restoration, and outstanding hospitality.“

“Went for the first time today. Great atmosphere with friendly service!! Had coffee and cinnamon roll. Was very tasty. If you are a fan of motorcycles, coffee,good food, and bench racing check them out. We really enjoyed our time there and got to meet Ian and had a great chat with him. We will be back!!“

“Hands down the BEST ice cream I have ever had. Can’t wait to go back and try all of the flavors!! Highly recommend!“

“My second home! I love this brewery and all the staff. You won't regret stopping in for amazing food and beverages!“

“All I can say is outstanding. Great coffee and excellent service. This coffee house is a hidden gem.“

“My coffee maker broke so I swung in here in a bad mood, with a mask AND sunglasses on. Despite looking like a complete weirdo, they were very nice to me and provided a delicious nitro cold brew. Man is wolf to man? Perhaps, but barista transcends such earthly complaints.“

“I went to Pomodoros for lunch with some family members, and overall it was a really good experience. Everything we tried—from the salads to the entrées—was well prepared and flavorful. The sausage rolls and the burger especially stood out, and everyone at the table seemed to genuinely enjoy their meals.

It is a little on the pricey side, but honestly that’s pretty typical for dining out these days. Considering the quality of the food and the overall experience, it felt worth it. I’d definitely come back again.“

“friendly staff, wonderful food love the outdoor seating when it's nice . atmosphere is chill no drama uniquely decorated. the drinks are delightful 😊. Definitely recommend on a nice spring night“

“Giving this place five stars because I ordered an iced coffee and the barista filled the cup with the appropriate amount of coffee and milk and then added ice. Instead of filling it up with ice first and a splash of milk. Which means you have to spend seven dollars on a coffee that you can drink in one sip. Which is what most places do! I appreciate you!“

“A wonderful experience with great staff and tasty food and pastries. Having my Dachshunds with us certainly was a treat too. Thank you for being so kind and attentive.“

“Best in hudson, my go to place....“
