Daniel is the kind of server who reminds you what good service is. He goes above and beyond, but it never feels forced--more like he actually cares about the experience. His recommendations were spot on. Not just "this is popular," but real insight into what works, what pairs well, and what you might want to skip depending on your taste. Same with the cocktails--he clearly knows the menu and can talk about it without sounding rehearsed. What stood out most was the balance. He's easygoing, drops in bits of local trivia that feel natural, and somehow reads the room perfectly. He checks in right when you need something and gives you space when you don't. Never hovering, never disappearing. The meal itself was great, but Daniel definitely made the whole experience better. read more

Syed and Daniel were the most attentive bartenders I think I've ever encountered. Spectacular service!!

Great dinner! Our waiter gave us great dinner options and was very quick with the service. Thanks to Syed for making my family dinner so memorable!! read more

We had such a great experience here. The tuna poke was a favorite. Super fresh, clean flavors, perfectly seasoned, and paired really well with the crunchy chips. Light, refreshing, and honestly hard to stop eating. The seared tuna with grilled vegetables was just as impressive. The tuna was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, and the grilled vegetables were fresh and well balanced with the sauce. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared and not heavy at all. Another big plus for families is that kids eat for free, which makes it even better. Fresh ingredients, delicious dishes, and a great family friendly bonus. Highly recommend. read more

Hudson & Nash is the restaurant inside the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, on the concourse level. It's large and spacious with plenty of indoor, some outdoor, and bar seating. They have happy hour from 8-10pm each night. We came here two nights in a row during happy hour, but our experiences were very different each night. The first evening, we sat at a table all the way in the back of the restaurant. Our waitress was pretty nice and let us know certain dishes were half off for happy hour. We ordered the tuna poke and calamari fritti, and a beer. Tuna poke was really good and came with black sesame rice chips. The calamari wasn't that good. The fried batter wasn't crispy enough and the texture of the squid was not good either. The next day, we sat at the bar and ordered the tuna poke again. The service was not good. We waited a long time to order, get food, etc. Furthermore, the bartender told us the happy hour poke was $15, not half off. I wasn't too pleased with the inconsistent information and inconsistent charging, especially since we came and had the exact same thing the day before and still had the receipt with proof. For some reason, the second night's tuna poke wasn't as good as the first's. The second night's service was by far lacking compared to the first's. We only got one giant rice crisp on day two instead of many the first night. If you are staying at the hotel, the restaurant is convenient. read more

Great location right near the water. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Good service. Clean restaurant. Located downstairs in the Hilton Bayside. The food was overall ok, some were better than other. The bayside bene was good but they accidentally wrote the wrong order for the protein so they gave us a nice salmon rose free of charge to compensate. We also ordered the waffle sammie which left more to be desired. Portion size was kind of meh and the waffle itself wasn't the best. The picture of the food is a combined plate with both entrees. read more

Admittedly, I got take away bc I'm staying at the Hilton, so I can't speak to the service, but I can speak to the food. Banh mi was inedible, the pork belly was burnt w/in an inch of its life. Pretty awful. The bland pork chop was cooked well, but didn't come w the apple compote as advertised. The trite sauces it accompanied did nothing to mask its lack of flavor. Really abysmal & def not worth the $. read more

My boyfriend and I visited for lunch as their breakfast service was ending. We opted for takeout since we weren't sure about parking. It's located on the first floor at waterfront side in the Hilton Bayfront hotel on Park Blvd just outside of Gaslamp. As mentioned, we didn't know where to park but there most likely is a parking area for customers who are not staying at the Hilton. My boyfriend and I ordered their Orecchiette Pasta and Chermoula Chicken. The food smelled amazing on the drive home. The pasta dish was just okay. It had a lot of pasta with only a small amount of vegetables and scattered sausages. There was a nice, subtle spicy kick in the sauce. The chicken, on the other hand, was nicely seasoned with a lot of flavor, but it had some pink areas, so we heated it up just in case. The figs and vegetables were very good. There was a side of "soup" that came with the chicken meal, I believe. It was very flavorful and good, but I started to wonder if it was meant to be a sauce for the chicken because it was kind of thick... We tried it with the chicken and was thoroughly surprised by how much of a difference it made with and without that "sauce". The takeout container for the pasta almost broke in half when we arrived home because the sauce soaked through. This dish should have been packaged in two containers but thankfully, this dish was on top of the chicken entrée. Overall, the food was relatively good especially the chicken dish. Would love to come back to try their other chicken dishes when the menu changes if they're all this flavorful. Just hope that the chicken would be fully cooked without the residual pinkness. We should have also read the signs about the automatic 20% gratuity before ordering takeout. It would have been a better experience dining in as we're already charged the gratuity. P.S. There is a 5% service charge + 20% mandatory gratuity. Even with takeout orders, there is an automatic 20% gratuity added which is kind of crazy in my opinion. We failed to see this when entering. read more

Hudson & Nash is conveniently located inside the Hilton, which makes it an easy option if you're staying at the hotel or nearby. The service was fine and the space itself is pleasant enough, but overall the food was pretty mediocre -- nothing terrible, just not memorable or worth going out of your way for. One thing that really threw me off was the number of birds flying inside and landing on tables. I actually like birds, but seeing them around where people are eating made me uncomfortable, especially from a hygiene standpoint. It honestly distracted from the experience and made it hard to fully enjoy the meal. read more

We were staying at the Hilton and we were too lazy to go outside to eat and the prices here are about average for a sit-down restaurant, so we Food was decent but the service could definitely be better. I ordered the Hudson Hot Chicken ($22) and I've also tried the Double Burger ($23). Everyone else's orders came out except for mine. I'm not sure what happened, but somehow it got lost to the kitchen and I had to wait for my hot chicken sandwich way longer. Everyone else had already finished their plates by the time I received my sandwich. The food itself was good, and that's what saved the rating. However, even with the food that arrived first, everything was lukewarm by the time it got to our table. It seemed like the dishes were sitting for a while before they got to our table. Service wasn't great. They only came by to take our orders and drop them off but otherwise were nowhere to be seen. I wanted to ask for a water refill but no one passed by. I also wanted to ask for ketchup for my fries but again, no one passed by that I could wave down. We sat for a while after I finished my own meal before our server came by to clear our plates and give us our check. Like I said, the food itself was what saved its rating, but the service was near nonexistent. It wasn't packed either, there were plenty of empty tables all around us and it was past the lunch rush. This restaurant is good for its convenience since it's in the hotel, but their servers should be checking up on their tables more. read more

Everyone is so nice, the space is huge and amazing, and the weather was traditionally perfect with a spectacular view.. happily they validate for 3 hours of parking. This restaurant is in a Hilton hotel, which looks magnificent. Having now been in three hotels on the waterfront in San Diego I was impressed with how this one measured up. We went here to see a stamp show which is on, unfortunately been shrinking in size. Back to the restaurant. We were comfortable situated with the ocean view. However, too much sun was shining in on the older gentlemen in our party. Funny note, the birds apparently continue to fly into the restaurant so we had a buddy. Everyone ordered a different dish and felt it was OK. My father had fish and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed. The two foodies in the group were particular. One of them ordered a hamburger, which is what she orders when she doesn't see something on the menu that interests her. She said it hit the spot. Dad loved the french fries but there were so many. We ended up taking some home. I nibbled on them and thoroughly enjoyed it. The unfortunate part is how expensive everything was. Simple black English tea was barely under $10. I think my arm Palmer was somewhere around six or eight dollars. Overall, everyone was satisfied. If you're going for the experience, this is definitely an excellent place especially for groups, girls going to a spa, or I would imagine a romantic night out. They even have a really nice bar. If you're going for the food it's about average but expensive. If you're going for the staff, they were fantastic. read more

Grabbed a late lunch/early dinner with the family during Comic Con (2025). We parked in the hotel parking structure, so it was convenient. We had our kid with us, so we couldn't sit at the bar upstairs. Since it was Comic Con weekend, we were given a special menu, so choices were limited. No complaints. The food we ordered was filling and delicious. We did not have to wait at all for a table. Service was relatively quick considering how many people were there. Our food also came out quickly. With exception to receiving 2 BLT sandwiches with avocado and no kids chicken tenders, everything was fine. The tenders came out quickly. There's not much I can say in this review. I'm not sure if the noise level is normally this high, and if prices are usually this high. All I can say is that it seems on par with Comic Con weekend. read more

Five of us for a noon-time lunch on a Saturday. Spacious layout with lots of windows giving an airy feel to the dining area. Seated immediately, and drink orders taken. Fish n Chips with Beer Battered Cod, (sub out the fries for a green salad), nice side of coleslaw. The fish was cooked to my liking. Blackened Mahi Tacos stuffed with Aioli, cilantro, scallion, cole slaw, blue corn tortilla chips & salsa Cobb Salad with Shrimp (different for a Cobb and finger-sized), avocado, heirloom tomatoes, bacon, scallions. Caesar Chicken salad with romaine, chicken breast, interesting Grana Padano and Cotija Cheeses. Coconut curry salmon, with snap pea, sweet potato, and noodles. All the dishes were a thumbs up by all making H&N is a repeatable experience. Service was excellent. read more

Came here for Mother's Day brunch and honestly, the food was so good. Oysters, poke, omelet station, prime rib, salmon... and that lobster mac and cheese? My whole family was seriously impressed with the quality and variety. Our server seemed a bit over it, probably post-Mother's Day rush vibes, but no big deal. We'll definitely be back to celebrate again (and eat way more). Oh, and shoutout to my espresso martini, which was absolutely on point. Then, as if I had not eaten enough that week, I went back after the bartender told me how good their wings are.. and he wasn't kidding, they were SO good!! read more

This was my first meal after arriving in SD and I was so happy I didn't have to travel far. Restaurant looks new or newly renovated and very appealing. There is plenty of seating and the decor makes you feel like you're on a yacht. The views are priceless being right on the bay, absolute perfect location with both indoor and outdoor seating. Because the weather is so appealing, the servers left the door open, no doubt making it easier for them to go in and out, but the downside to this is that the birds know food is inside and they are not shy about finding their way to it. I looked down while waiting for my meal to see a bird eating crumbs off the table by my feet. Fortunately it did not fly above my table, but I did keep an eye out for that. My server was awesome! So cheerful and helpful. He gave me a recommendation for the double burger and it did not disappoint. Easily one of the best burgers I have ever had. So flavorful and moist, I wanted one to take home! It was so good. Perfect start to my trip. read more

We had breakfast at Hudson & Nash during our stay at the Hilton Bayfront, and it was a great way to start the day. The Eggs Benedict and Egg Sandwich were both delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The location is super convenient if you're staying at the hotel, with beautiful bayfront views and a relaxed, modern ambiance. Service was on the mark ! It's spot that is perfect and convenient for a leisurely morning if you are staying here. Overall, solid food, great location. read more

This review is for the restaurant, not the hotel ( will do that separately). Located down the escalator from the main lobby it's pretty easy to find. Even though we didn't have a reservation they squeezed us in on a Sunday morning and the service was great. Some standout dishes.. the fruit and yogurt plate could serve 3 or 4 people... and the presentation was very impressive. The 2 egg breakfast was absolutely delicious...highly recommend for breakfast! read more

Chris was a great server. Very attentive and knowledgeable about menu. Would recommend for service.

Service was great. Syed was friendly and professional. Checked in often without being over bearing.

The view is awesome of the marina, and the Coronado Island Bridge. This place is more of a sports bar than a quiet sit down restaurant. We weren't real hungry, so we shared cocktails and the poke bowl and their shrimp Cobb salad. Service was good, the cocktails and dessert were good and the shared dishes were okay. If the food stepped up a notch, it would be a fantastic restaurant read more

Lovely and gorgeous view of the bay. Conveniently located at the Hilton Bayfront with easy access from the "boardwalk" connecting to the convention center. We frequent here especially when we are attending an event at the Rady's Shell. Food has generous portions. For this specific visit we ordered Convoy wings, TJ Cesar, and SoCal BLAT sandwich. All so good! They won't disappoint. We come here really for the drinks. The Julian apple pie Old Fashion is a favorite of ours and their Mai Tais are REALLY good!! Service is fast yet left us alone to enjoy the company is n the patio with the fire pit. Definitely recommend for a date night or before concert dinner at the Shell. read more

Server straight up forgot about us. Didn't swing by to ask for refills or order anything else. We wanted to order drinks and another app along with our food, but the guy just did not care for our table. We had to flag down another server (which took awhile) because he just never returned to us. We were trying to get our check and leave at that point. We were glad we didn't order anything else. Nice view, poke was good, but terrible service. read more

I made a to-go order for the pool, so I can't judge it all but it was really nice! Yes the prices are steep (most restaurants that are in hotels are), but the food was excellent! I got my toddler the grilled cheese which was a large sandwich with double fried fries (the best in my opinion). I ordered myself the skinny dipper which was fantastic! A lot of fresh vegetables and several hummus dips- one being beet which was very good! It was more filling than I thought it would be. The inside and patio to this place are nicely decorated and clean and the bartender was quick. The hostess seemed MIA and I had to wait about 5mins before one showed up only to tell me to order to-go at the bar. The food came out pretty quick, which was nice when your kiddo is mid hunger meltdown. read more

Mel, You make this place something special. We had the privilege to come the first night, when you were our hostess. The restaurant is beautiful enough, with the ocean making the views impecable. You seated us, gave us our menu and scurried off to seat more patrons. But would regularly check back in with us. Your personality was better than the food, which is why the five star. Though I have no complaints about the food, with exception that our chicken (on another night) that seemed to take a long, long time.. I came back through the weekend as I mentioned for several more meals, but it was not the same without your bubbly smile! This place is lucky to have you, and I made sure to mention it the following day to the manager in charge. She knew already how great you were. "Kidnappable" was our word choice, as anyone in the industry worth their salt would likely try and offer you a position. My husband, who usually stays quiet was blown away by you as well, validating my experience. You may remember us only by our comment about your purple lipstick (which looked amazing on you, even if it wasn't a color your kids would wear) I cannot stress how comfortable you made us feel, and how helpful you were to us, even after our meal was finished. Again, I do not usually give five stars, but I was so impressed by your demeanor, that I'd probably still give at least 3, had they starved us. Alas, the food was really good also, and during our stay, we ate there at least 5 times, maybe six. Each meal consistent, and delicious. (Though without you there, our service on two other meals was not to be desired, perhaps they were busier.) At any rate, I hope you get acknowledged, or a raise.. or... someone in the industry discovers you and offers you what you deserve. Again, thank you. You make that place.. I hope you know that! read more

Hudson & Nash - A little bird that snuck in. - New American Near Me - San Diego, California

Beautiful restaurant with high ceilings and an open concept space. Our server was very attentive and the Sous chef even came out to greet us. Food wise, I enjoyed all the appetizers, the salads were nice and well portioned and none of the food was over cooked which is always a plus. The Tuna Poke was definitely the stand out. Wings had a lot of flavor but could've used a sauce on the side for contrast. The Old Fashioned and Balboa Botanical were both well crafted. The desserts were disappointing. Not sure if the blondie was suppose to have such a dry texture. However they were on the house for our birthdays. Bottom line, Hudson and Nash offers an excellent dining experience for anyone staying at the Hilton Bayfront. read more

Completely horrible experience!! My family and I are ate at this restaurant on Sunday. I rarely post negative reviews, but this was genuinely awful from start to finish. First, Hudson and Nash refused to accept a reservation for our family of nine -- even though the restaurant was nearly empty. No explanation, no effort to accommodate, nothing. Because of that, our family had to eat separately: some of us in the restaurant, and the rest ended up grabbing food from the convenience store next door. It completely ruined our evening and made the whole dinner feel disjointed and stressful. Then the food is wildly overpriced for what you get. The portions were small, the quality was unimpressive, and absolutely nothing justified the cost. But honestly, the poor customer service was even worse. Our table was obstructing the main walkway, at least six feet away from any wall. The legs of the chairs stuck out at an angle. Because of this careless seating, a woman in her 50s or 60s tripped over the leg of my daughter's chair and fell headfirst onto the floor. She was bleeding from her knee and elbow. We could feel the thud. It was horrifying. My 8-year-old daughter was so terrified she peed her pants! The staff just stood there for far too long before even notifying a manager, and when someone finally did come over, all they offered her was a bag of ice. No real assistance. No apology. No sense of urgency. Nothing. To make matters worse, the manager never apologized, never checked on our table, never asked what happened, and made zero effort to make anything right. The complete lack of hospitality was shocking. Between the overpriced food, the unhelpful staff, the refusal to seat a clearly manageable party size, and the manager's total indifference, this restaurant is an absolute miss. I'm still upset about how poorly everything was handled. We will never return. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. ***** I'm updating this review to add that the manager contacted me afterward and generously comped our meal. I really appreciate the gesture and the care they showed to make things right. I originally left a one star review. I am adding one extra star to my review for the follow up and on a positive note, the butternut squash soup was excellent. read more
