Our experience was outstanding in every way. We needed to change tables (to better accommodate my 95 year old mom) and the entire wait staff was so pleasant in moving us. We were waited on hand and foot even though our table had to have extra chairs pulled up to it, the food was amazing, and this has become a favorite of our entire family, ranging from young adults to grandma and grandpa. The smoked salmon dip is a show stopper!!

Hudson House never disappoints. Business lunch for 3, one of had a sushi roll, one had the Hudson Salad and I had the chicken parm. I needed a nap but that dish is highly addictive. Service is always solid and a good time was had by all.
