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

“Excellent. 5 stars. Can’t wait to go back”

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

“Found this spot on Google while I was upstate and thought it was worth the 20 mins drive. It was!!! The pastries are delicious, service was great and tons of options to choose from. I loved it so much I even bought a t-shirt and 2 dog baguette toys for my pups. If you’re in the Hudson Valley area, and hungry (… and rich! lol), def make a stop here”

“My kids and I visited here for lunch. It was such a cozy spot filled with the aroma of delicious food. We were instantly greeted with smiling faces as soon as we walked in. My kids had grilled cheese, I had the chicken salad sandwich. So good! Looking forward to visiting again during warmer weather, so we can enjoy the outdoor seating too!”

“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.”

“Great place and food is great”

“Loved EVERYTHING about Via Cassia, from the atmosphere to the service and, of course, the food! The salad, homemade pasta, and tiramisu were all amazing, and our server recommended great wine pairings. Can't wait to go back next time we're in Hudson!”

“We had a most extraordinary Sunday brunch at The Maker Cafe yesterday. We were there by chance, around 1 pm, and are so glad we found this lovely spot with a most attentive staff. We're not spring chickens, and we much appreciated the help getting seated, the delicious butternut squash soup, the fabulous eggplant alla parmgiana sandwich, the broccoli salad. Thanks to you all - we loved it, and we look forward to coming to the restaurant some evening soon.”

“This brewery only serves beer, but they encourage bringing your own food. I just happened to stop in here looking for a meal, but that's not possible. I tasted two of their brews (just a taste) and both were very good. They have an indoor seating area and a large outdoor seating area. This is a great place where you can eat what you want at a low cost, and still enjoy going out!”

“For the sake of full disclosure I’ve worked with the owners for over twenty years in the television industry. They have brought the same dedication and amazing attention to detail that has resulted in their tremendously successful careers, to their wonderful new restaurant. They have thought of EVERY detail from the whimsical videos playing in the rest rooms to the sugar cubes for your espresso... they have missed nothing. The menu is inventive and perfectly executed... Watermelon Gazpacho?! Whoa! The unique presentation of the Calamari appetizer was wonderful. Bouillabaisse?! You don’t find that as the seafood option very often... what a treat. Others in my group enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks and the slightly smoky Mac & Cheese. Of course the cheese plates are spectacular. This is one of those meals you won’t forget! But wait did I mention the speakeasy downstairs? The perfectly appointed room features an amazing menu of craft cocktails AND six draft beers to choose from... including Ommegang Rare Vos... you simply don’t find that on tap anywhere!! Finally a word about the service. It was impeccable, perfectly attentive without being stuffy. Chris and Ellen have created a destination restaurant!”

“This restaurant is exceptional in every capacity! I'm hardly a foodie; I eat very simple foods during the week (eggs, real butter, olive oil, buttermilk, whey protein, Greek yogurt, etc), so when I go out to eat, I seek both a nutritious menu, more extensive meals of variety, while allowing myself to indulge too. Everything about this restaurant is excellent, and I highly recommend it! I was there Late Afternoon on Sunday, which I concluded to be an ideal time to go. Continued Success, and Thank You!”

“It’s truly the best of the best”

“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.”

“Had the BEST experience at the lounge after our dinner at Serre. Scheana was the most amazing, warm, accommodating manager, and made an ordinary stop for one last drink into a lasting memory for my birthday trip to Hudson. We will be back soon!”

“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”

“The food and service were amazing! Will definitely return!”

“Stopped here after our hike and the beer really hit the spot. Their pilsner is so refreshing and the vibe is really nice, super spacious. They don’t sell food except for light snacks but there is a food truck nearby.”

“Great atmosphere & amazing food”

“If I lived in the area, I would be hanging out here constantly! This is a welcoming, airy, beautiful place! Plenty of room for kids up front, plus an XXXL table which I imagine draws many folks for writing and drawing workshops! As you make your way to the food counter, you see many unique local artworks for sale and enjoyment. The large back part of the room is designed as a wonderful space for music and poetry readings, with a small stage, great natural and interior lighting and comfortable seats. We missed the Monday morning music, but we just needed a quick snack and respite at the time. Many have reported on the great food, which we will return for! We loved our coffee and our peaceful time there. Cafe' Joust is open on Mondays, as is the amazing Magpie Books which is just down the street.”

“Good experience. I highly recommend the butternut squash soup. Delicious, with almonds. Staff friendly. Open on Sunday.”

“Great, food great service friendly people food is tasty one of the best one in Columbia County”

“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!”

“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.”

“Cute place to order sandwiches and subs from. Food is good here and cooked right before you. You can eat them at a table near the library across the store! If you need a snack after visiting the high falls. - this is the right place.”

“Nice man, food is very good and tasty , saucy, flavorful, and good prices. I’m not even a big Indian food person but I would recommend this place to anyone, nice vibe seem like good people!🤤🤤”

“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.”

“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!”
