Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages. if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city.

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.
