    Our server, Jeffro, was AMAZING!!! He was engaging, friendly and made my daughter's birthday very special (he even carded her when she ordered a drink since she was turning 21). He also worked with the kitchen to create a vegan meal for me (veggie stir fry... delicious!). He made connections with each of us in the short time we were there. I will only eat at Hudson 29 again if I can have him working with our table. Oh yeah, and the food was fabulous too.

    Maybe my favorite restaurant in the Columbus area. Wonderful experience every time I dine here. Certainly not your run of the mill downtown chain restaurant. Great neighborhoood restaurant with amazing food and top-notch service. Menu has everything from sandwiches, to pasta, to phenomenal seafood and steaks. Great wine selection, really nice hand crafted cocktails. Always has a great bar crowd, or you can choose a more intimate cozy booth. I'd call this place a hidden gem, but it's always busy, so the word is clearly out.
