“It’s truly the best of the best”

“5 stars no question! McNan’s is an integral part of the community. Providing 12 years of service and hopefully many more to come, they are a small business I support enthusiastically. I highly recommend them for not only their giant sandwiches but the joy and charity they provide to the community at large. The sandwiches are thick like this always as pictured!”

“***** five stars Great Food and Great Service!!!!”

“One of Hudson‘s hidden gems and when I say hidden, I mean it it’s around the corner from the Google location, but it’s worth the hunt. Expect lines and expect the best pastries,. You won’t be disappointed.”

“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)”

“The tiramisu at Via Cassia in Hudson, NY is absolutely exceptional — hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s perfectly balanced: rich and creamy mascarpone layered with delicate, espresso-soaked ladyfingers that melt in your mouth without being soggy. The dusting of cocoa on top adds just the right touch of bitterness to complement the sweetness. Every bite feels light yet indulgent, with that authentic Italian flavor that’s hard to find outside of Italy.”

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

“My 2nd or 3rd trip. This time it was Sunday Brunch and as in everything here, it was delicious and while the owners are French, the food is just damn good, understandable and well prepared.”

“I stopped here today to get lunch. I have been on this continent for 11 years and originally from Australia. This was the best focaccia and coffee I have had here!!!”

“I was just traveling through the area and had the good fortune to give this cafe a try for breakfast and I have to say it was perfect,every part of my meal was delicious. I have rarely been so satisfied with the freshness and preparation of a meal but these folks are putting in the care and work to do things right, my waffles were stellar definitely not made with pancake mix like so many mediocre restaurants do everything was well seasoned and nicely presented by an attentive staff.I garuantee you anytime I am any where near Chatham I will be dining here(I live in Maine but visit friends and relatives in the Albany area)!”

“Austin has captured the old fashion diner car. Wonderfully restored. Fun to sit at the counter and watch the magic. Reasonably priced. Yummy Omletes! Give it a try; I don't think you'll be disappointed! 👍👍”

“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!”

“Lucky me, dropping in on a night when swordfish was on the specials. Honestly, the best I ever had.”

“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!”

“Great atmosphere & amazing food”

“My family and I highly recommend this place. The staff is amazing and the food is always great. I went in there this morning and tried “The Trucker” sandwich…best…sandwich ever. So worth every penny we send here! I cannot say enough good things about this place.”

“I spent my birthday there and I had the NICEST TIME. The staff were amazing and they came out and sang. Made me feel so good! Thank you Savonas! 🥳❤️”

“Only place where you can get authentic NYC type bagels. The atmosphere is congenial as are the owners. Great place!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Burger to rave about. 👍👍👍”

“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.”

“Absolutely the best Chinese food in Hudson.. The food is amazing.. My family eats here all the time .. Kind and friendly service .. I highly recommend this Resturant..”

“Everything! The food was fantastic, atmosphere was cozy and the service was right on point. Very friendly service!”

“Del’s is THE best quick stop for something fast, casual, economical, delicious & FUN! Their farm-fresh offerings are locally sourced & community-driven (you can literally SEE the farm from your table!). Their Bees Knees honey lavender milkshake with gin is my favorite summer after-work treat - non-alcoholic ice cream options also available for the younger family members, of course.”

“Been to Lagonia's 6 times over the past month every meal has been great! The most recent we 6 people in our party had appetizers (Calamari), soup and salad with Lasagna, Eggplant parm, Veal Par, Pork chops Ala vodka with chicken. Everything was cooked to perfection french onion soup was out of this world. Everything arrived to the table in a timely manner looked great and tasted fantastic. Our waitress was very pleasant and freindly and gave great service, always there if needed but never rushed. I have ordered hamburger on previous visits and it was the best burger I've ever had, not to mention the home made french fries. Burger on the rare side crispy fries both times cooked as ordered. Can't believe that these burgers have not been voted the #1 burger in Chatham! I would HIGHLY recommend Lagonia's to all that wants a great meal.”

“I can't choose between the foot long hotdog with sourkraut and mustard, the delicious chicken sandwich, or the amazing smash burger.... so I get all three. There is usually just enough left over for a snack later.

Top 5 favorite places to eat. 💪🏻💪🏻”

“Great Jamaican Food!!! This hidden gem in Hudson/Greenport is the place to go for authentic Jamaican dishes. The owners, Randy and Anne are delightful and really care about the quality of the food they serve. I've had every dish on their menu and each one has been delicious. Portions are generous with both lunch and dinner sizes at reasonable prices. My personal favorites are their traditional Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat, Curry Chicken and Oxtails. All served with rice and peas, plantains and veggies. In colder weather they offer a hearty soup with traditional Jamaican Spinner dumplings. Whenever they have a "special" dish I always give it a try and have not been disappointed. Just yesterday they offered a special Barbeque Chicken which was sweet and savory. I certainty hope this becomes a dish they offer regularly.They are open on Wednesdays and Fridays and are my go to place for take out Wednesday dinner. They serve out of a stationary food truck with plenty of onsite parking. Food is packed for take out and there are picnic tables with umbrellas if you'd like to eat there. They are located up on the hill overlooking Fairview Ave just a bit south of Bagel Thyme. Stop by, check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Parking: Lots of easy parking.”

“This was our first time here and it was delicious. we are so happy to have a new favorite Thai food place just across the river! the pineapple fried rice with cashews was excellent and the pad thai was absolutely delicious! We finished our meal with the perfect fried ice cream! We will be back very soon!”
