Hudson Clearwater

My bestie has been telling about this place for a while. We decided to stop in before a Broadway show "Bad Kreyol". It had a bit of a rustic feel and was very lively at around 4pm. Our food was so fresh and surprisingly didn't take long to come. We ordered vegan fried artichoke hearts, squash soup, grass fed and veggie burgers and a chocolate almond smoothie. Everything was delicious! The vegan fried artichoke hearts were a surprise hit. I didn't expect to enjoy them so much. They were light and airy but full of flavor. The burgers were juicy and the French fries fried to perfection. We were so full, we had no room for dessert. Our servers were also so friendly and kind. Definitely will be back!

Standard brunch fare in cozy/rustic surrounds. I'm mainly giving stars for the relative affordability. The food is alright, the atmosphere quite noisy. Our server was on top of checking in with us, albeit not the friendliest (did we ever make eye contact hmm). My friend and I got sat at a rather awkward spot, right next to another group of 4 and in the center of the room so our chairs were constantly bumped.Matcha latte ($6) was mediocre and not strong enough with the matcha. Hudson scramble ($18) was served somewhat warm and went cold fast, but overall was decent. The toast was quite hard but came with generous dollops of butter and jam on the side. The cinnamon roll ($6) wasn't special; the vanilla maple cream cheese frosting tasted like straight cream cheese without any sugar, which was odd, but the roll itself packed a nice cinnamon kick. Super fruit smoothie ($12) was pretty good.Things are priced reasonably (by West Village standards) for regular brunch fare, but this place is so noisy and packed that I'm unlikely to come back.

Hudson Clearwater brunch is phenomenal. I've been twice now and have been impressed both times. It is so cozy and inviting inside, both times I've visited it's been too cold to sit outside but the patio looks great too. I recommend the breakfast burrito, cinnamon roll, and pancakes so good. My boyfriend had the duck hash and loved that too. Staff is all super friendly, I definitely recommend.

A solid spot for elevated food at NYC pricesI've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner and enjoyed the food both times. Lunch fish sandwich was hearty and excellent and the various egg items also looked great. For dinner, I enjoyed the scallops appetizer (3 for the small portion and 5 for the big), which felt quite refined and light. They have a lot of interesting dishes that can satisfy the veggie and meat lover alike. They have nice outdoor seating in the back and a few tables in the front. It's not a huge place and can fill up quickly.While this place isn't a formal place, it doesn't feel like super approachable and friendly either (subtly uppity?) I don't gravitate toward this but the food has been really good and that's a major factor in wanting to return.

Met with a friend for brunch here. The interior was rustic, yet classy. There was a high end feel to the place. I ordered one of my favorite brunch plates: Steak and Eggs ($29) with rosemary fries. I asked that the eggs be cooked over hard, which they were. They were just okay. The steak was a little too well done, was chewy and on the bland side. The fries were nicely crispy, but had very little rosemary taste. For dessert, I tried the Bread Pudding ($13), which was dark chocolate chunk with chocolate drizzle, chantilly, and slices of orange on the side. The Bread Pudding was slightly warm, but was not like a true bread pudding, and was much more cake like. I enjoyed the richly sweet chocolate component and velvety smooth, creamy chantilly. The orange slices with strawberry on top were a disconnect, and did not pair well with the bread pudding. Service was all right. Pricing wasn't too bad, considering the prime West Village location. I was definitely not satisfied with my meal, so would not return.

Beautiful food, classy, cozy ambience, excellent service! Even if you just go there for either the olive oil cake with blood oranges or the dark chocolate bread pudding, it will have been well worth your time. Also at least half of your problems will magically go away, it's amazing.

The interior of Hudson Clearwater was really nice, like a cozy cabin. The servers were patient and also tried their best to accommodate our dietary restrictions and made us aware of any cross contamination. They were even kind enough to make the home potatoes In the oven. The food was also pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the lemon ricotta pancakes. However, what was striking to all of us on the table were how small the portions were, especially for the price. We all were still pretty hungry at the end, so we weren't fully satisfied.

I went here for a friend's birthday dinner and the food was incredible! (Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures.) For appetizers, we shared the little gem caesar salad, savory tart, duck confit rillettes, pan seared scallops, burrata and the house made ricotta gnocchi--my favorites were the rillettes and the burrata. For my entree, I got the seared Long Island duck breast, which was so delicious. The staff was incredibly attentive and nice, and the restaurant was really pretty. I also really liked the outdoor eating area, and will definitely have to try that in warmer weather. Highly recommend this place for dinner. Also, the Duchess was a great drink!

A very busy restaurant in the heart of west village. I came for brunch over the weekend and it was crowded both indoors and outdoors. Luckily my friend and I had a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes for our table. It's a little small and tight on the inside but nonetheless the atmosphere felt cozy. I ordered the hudson scramble and my friend ordered the ricotta pancakes. Both of us enjoyed our meals! The scramble was filled with veggies and came with a piece of sourdough bread on the side. We ordered espresso martinis which were delicious.

Specatcular!! great all around. at my daughter's suggestion, we went and it was perfect. Great variety, service, etc. Definitely worth the wait if you do not have reservations. This place covers all bases. Ive spent more $ in NYC for brunch for much less quality. A must when in NYC!
