Reviews
My husband and I stopped by this spot in Cold Spring after a hike and a train ride from the city. We picked it for the outdoor seating and stunning fall views of the water. Pros: The location is perfect--clearly a lively tourist & local favorite. The host was kind enough to let us use the restroom while on the waitlist, and the pizza (especially the margherita) was phenomenal. I'm still thinking about it months later! Cons: The rest of the food was hit-or-miss. The popover was disappointing with the wrong texture, and the soup had either too much sherry or brandy. Service, though friendly, was slow, and there was a long wait for outdoor seating even with open tables inside. My husband's lobster bisque was more bisque than lobster. Great for pizza and views, but I'd skip the extras next time.
We visited at 12 PM on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated quickly inside the restaurant, which had a cozy atmosphere. Complimentary bread and butter were served, though they were just okay. We ordered steamed clams, pizza, lobster soup, and crab meat with salmon; all tasted fresh and good. Overall, it was an okay experience, considering this is a small town outside NYC with limited dining options.
We loved this place! The service , food and were excellent! Mike the manager was fantastic and saved the day as we left our wallet and he helped us get it back. We shared 3 entrees - all delicious . The lobster roll was excellent . Def try their Hudon chopped salad as it was full of bacon blue cheese and crispy onions . Thank you Hudson Rover Inn and a big shout out to Mike!!!!!!
Had a nice lunch here with my family. Very cool old building and absolutely incredible views. Our waitress was great. Popovers with strawberry butter are put on your table when you arrive. It was warm and huge! Strawberry butter was fun but I think a honey butter would be a smart move. We ordered crab cakes for an app and they were pretty good but still a bit cold in the middle. It wasn't lumps of crab but the string kind. I ordered the cajun shrimp salad. There wasn't anything Cajun about it but it was fresh and tasty. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food and the consensus was it got the job done well.
We went at a not so busy time, so there wasn't much staff there. We could have seen our server more, but he was nice and helpful when we did see him. The food and drinks were very good, one drink was a poured a little heavy handed, which I appreciated. The location was perfect, a quaint town with beautiful views.
