To be honest, I have never heard of this place before. My friends and I were planning to go to Commerce Inn for brunch but the wait was way too long. So we ended up going here instead and I'm happy we did! We arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation and they seated us at the bar first so we could get coffee. We ordered at the bar and then our table was ready, so our drinks came to our table. I got: - hot matcha latte: I got this sweetened with honey. - roasted pulled chicken sandwich: I added cheese. This was really good! It came with fries which were nice to nimble on (better than some places' other fries). It's really tight in here (as all NYC restaurants are). The tables are back to back. There is a counter in the back with bar stools. The bathrooms are downstairs. It was cold downstairs!!

This is a pretty solid spot with good food. The backyard is super cute and nice in the summer. Service was ok!

So probably one of the better hanger steaks . I have had in the city Problem is the staff . I came here on a Sunday - around 515 pm. For an early dinner pretty empty . No one in the main dining hall couple of people at the bar, and maybe some people on the garden Took forever for the staff , to take my order. Finally the order was taken, I finished my meal it's amazing, no one refilled the water, came around to check if everything was good with the customer they're sitting and chitchatting for the people of the bar. But they expect the minimum 20% tip. I gave it because it's just too f.. king annoying to nickle and dime . I've lived in the city for 35 years just so tired to see these entitled servers who do squat , get a break from taxes . Restaurant owners wake up . If we are supporting your wait staff you better make sure , they deliver or else see your demise as a restaurer in nyc

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake is a great option for dessert

Hudson Clearwater continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in New York. I recently had dinner there with four friends, and everything about the evening reminded me why I keep coming back. The garden patio is one of the city's hidden gems--beautiful, intimate, and perfect for lingering over a great meal. The crowd always seems effortlessly hip and cool, creating a lively atmosphere without ever feeling pretentious. The food was outstanding, and the wine list deserves special mention. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into the selection, with an excellent range of organic, biodynamic, and natural wines alongside classic favorites. Our server helped us choose the perfect bottle and knew the list inside and out. The staff is consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Service is polished without being formal, and everyone made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a memorable dinner in the West Village with exceptional food, an outstanding wine program, and one of the best garden dining spaces in Manhattan, Hudson Clearwater is hard to beat. It never disappoints.

The service was awesome and the food was amazing too! We sat outside and we went at a time where it wasn't too crowded so it was really great having brunch there! Highly recommend!

Cinnamon roll

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.

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!

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.

Scallops
Mel Y.

A solid spot for elevated food at NYC prices I'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.

Breakfast burrito, rosemary, fries, and fish sandwich
Shannon F.

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.

Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

I found Lai Rai Wine Bar + Ice Cream just by passing it while walking around Chinatown one…read moreafternoon. It was beautiful weather out, and Lai Rai was a small bar instead with plenty of small tables outside. My friends and I grabbed a bottle of their Rose to split, and shared some coffee and banana leaf ice cream. The ice cream was slightly different texture from normal ice cream, but both flavors we tried were delicious. Additionally, we sat outside, and the place was perfect for an evening in NYC, with a bunch of opportunities for people watching. The vibe was chill and laid back, and it was a nice, relaxing end to our busy day filled with walking around. I will definitely be stopping by again on my next trip to NYC.

yeah boiiii…read more phenomenal. perfection. snagged a res for the ladys birthday and was so so so excited to finally be at Sunn's. went into thinking it was traditional korean, but was actually really fusioned with french/new american flavors, but never forgot its korean roots. everything was divine, and the service was exceptional. sat at chefs table; man that tiny ass kitchen is a miracle. was really suprised with the soondabo. feel like i've ever only had one flavor profile, but chef sunn was telling me how she was inspired by pozole as a rift on the dish. i have had a lot better banchan before thoooo thanks for having us and making the night so special! excited to come back

The hwe crudo was refreshing and delicious, and the salad was also a standout -- bright, crisp, and really well-balanced. But the best thing we had by far was the dak mandu, the crab/chicken dumplings. Those alone are worth coming back for. The ssam lettuce wraps were good, though they read a little more like Jewish brisket with a spicy bean sauce than what I expected from a Korean lettuce wrap. Still tasty, just a different vibe. Honestly, this would've been a 5-star meal if I didn't leave with three mosquito bites. Great food, great service, great wine -- just maybe bring bug spray.
