This was a very cool experience. Even if the food and drinks weren't as good as they were this would be a fun experience. You arrive through the ice cream shop (I've been to the ice cream shop before and I had no idea that this was here) and you go to the back to an unmarked door by the restrooms. You flip the switch and the doorkeeper checks your id and you wait until there is a table. Once you go in, it is a small restaurant/bar. The focus is definitely on the alcohol. There are several interesting cocktails to try. I had the martini. It was served in a flask on ice. It was strong. My friend tried the Manhattan and she was very pleased by the flavor. We had the burger and shared the fries. Those were good but not the best I've ever had. But the concept of the fries was very good. My friends got the salmon dip and that was exciting. The deserts are mostly spiked too. The service was very good and I will be excited to come back again next time I'm In the area. read more

Having mixed feelings about this one. While we absolutely love the sister restaurant, this one didn't wow us as much. That being said, we still had a pleasant dinner and enjoyed our meal but I don't think we will be itching to return. The standout being the french fries-- tossed in a delicious truffle butter. We both enjoyed the ny strip-- I found it odd that you couldn't order it cooked to your liking. We had asked for our steak cooked medium and they "can only do medium rare" per the servers words. That felt a bit odd-- I cannot not understand the reasoning why. The flavor on the steak was delicious, the cream sauce outstanding, and the greens were a nice touch. I would not recommend the cacio de pepe -- that didn't feel like an authentic pasta rather overcooked mac and cheese. It was not what we were expecting. The other thing that fell a bit short was the service. Completely different than their sister rail trail, the service was cold. It felt as if we were a bother. Our dining experience was less than an hour, it was prompt service. Ambiance is nice, small seating, dark. read more

Speakeasy inside of an ice cream shop. Got a glass of wine and the s'mores dessert pie. Yum yum yum. The dessert was really good--my friends and I split it so it was a decent size. Gooey and tasty and unique. Inside was all vibes with an intimate atmosphere, good for date nights. It's also cool when you exit it looks like you're leaving a cobbler shop. read more

Finally came here after work with friends. It's a really cozy speakeasy that you wouldn't expect to find in this part of the state. It wasn't difficult to get a reservation for the same day. I love gin and tonic and enjoyed my freezer martini, and I tried a friend's joy quota and it was a nice strong fruity cocktail. We ordered everything to share. I think the standouts were the circle cut fries and potatoes au gratin. The crispy wings and lobster ravioli were also delicious, and I really enjoyed the Dubai chocolate sundae. They really do crispy textures and creaminess well. I would definitely come again. I'm eyeing the steak and the burrata starter if they're still on the menu next time. read more

My absolute favorite place of business in Hudson, MA. A place I am willing to drive over an hour to get to when visiting friends in the area. What a fun experience. Back of the ice cream shop, flip a switch, gain entry, and you are whisked into the dimly lit, cozy speakeasy dripping with ambiance. Every nook and cranny of this place is expertly decorated. The waitstaff and bartenders and very sociable and attentive. Specialty mixed drinkers, small and large bites, and some tantalizing desserts adorn their small, but rich menu. Whenever possible, I leave room for their Spirits & Cream Cocktails, a mix of hard alcohol, ice cream, and other delights. On my most recent visit I opted for their Peanut Butter Cup option that mixed ice cream, whiskey, fudge, peanut butter sauce, and a peanut butter cookie into a sight to see and a party for the taste buds. Highly recommend. I hear they do special events here around various holidays with drink/food pairings. Wish they had another location closer to home! A treat when in town. read more

This spot is so unique and wonderful! We went for cocktails, but they actually have a food menu and everything sounded good. We both ordered a tiki cocktail when we went here. Both were unique and delicious. The ambiance is chic and intimate. A perfect speakeasy setting! Our server was wonderful. She was helpful and attentive. I liked her a lot. This is a cool spot! We came across it years ago when getting dessert next door. We came back just to get cocktails from here and it didn't disappoint. Also, love the name. (I'm a math teacher!) read more

Really fun place to visit! Getting in was really entertaining and adds a special aesthetic to the place. Have been meaning to try it out for ages. Did not try the food, but enjoyed the drink I got. I would suggest going with fri nds so that you can get a round table, or sit at the bar near the windows -- otherwise, you kind of are watching the kitchen/hood the whole time. The bartenders are awesome to watch though! Good quality drinks, good variety. Definitely unique cocktail menu and not just the standard options. A little pricey ($14-18/cocktail), so I would probably only have one (max two) in a visit, but enjoyable nonetheless. I did struggle to find their pricing online before visiting. Will note that the lighting is dim for the speakeasy vibe (cool) but also it's ambiently family loud due to the size of the space. Wouldn't recommend if you struggle with sensory environments. read more

Happy Anniversary to us! And with the anniversary date, came the $150 Armagnac tasting (my gift to the hubs). Unique product, it was an opportunity to "try before you buy". And while the Armagnac wasn't what we anticipated, it was enjoyable to sample an 1888 smooth and aromatic liquor. It was quiet in the house, none of our "boys" and girls were there, which was a bit of a sad point, but Sasha was a fantastic host, service was lovely and my repeat of Chicken Piccatta as lovely as the first time I had it (seriously worth going for that and a cocktail!). read more

This was such a fun and cute speakeasy! I think they did a great job with the decor and ambience to really feel like an old speakeasy! I love the secret door/passcode to get in! They have a great cocktail menu and an extensive liquor selection. The staff was super helpful and gave me great drink suggestions! We started off with the Mac & cheese, kofta meatballs and shaved steak danish. Mac & cheese was probably my favorite of the apps it was super cheesy and delicious! For mains we got the lobster ravioli, steak frites and chicken piccata. My favorite was the lobster ravioli but my parents enjoyed the chicken pitta and steak most! Everything was delicious and would definitely recommend. They're located inside new city microcreamery and even offer some ice cream based cocktails too and you can always grab some delicious ice cream next door for dessert!! read more

I've been here many times and love this place more and more each time. For starters the whole speakeasy back of an ice cream shop is cool AF. The service here has always been top notch then you try one of the many signature cocktails, and you fall in love with this place yet again. The signature cocktails are expertly crafted and combine wonderful flavor profiles. Main and apps, well I've tried them all and have never been disappointed. The menu is always changing and you'll be happy with whatever you order. The ambiance is dark and moody and allows you to travel wherever you want while you enjoy great food, drinks and people. This place belongs in Boston or NYC but I'm glad it's in Hudson. Can't wait for my next visit read more

Everything was amazing! Staff were very kind and made room for us without a reservation on a busy evening. They checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. The food was crazy good, I need to plan a return trip to try more!! the fried feta was even better than I expected it to be. The cocktail milkshake was delicious and massive. read more

fun hidden spot in new city micro creamery! upon arrival i tried the "main" entrance but that is not how you get in. you go through the ice cream parlor and turn on the light in the back side area. the food was really yummy and the drinks were good. my only complaint is that the service was not attentive as they could be and it felt like my group was getting overlooked slightly in the scheme of things but maybe it was an understaffed night. the food and the prices made up for it though! read more

Very cool speakeasy. You enter through the creamery. Inside very cozy and active. Menu is limited but interesting. Food was good, but not great. Drinks were quite inventive and strong. read more

Overall ok experience. I think it's a bit pricy for what they offer . Seared tuna was ok and espresso martini was ehh. I think the vibe is nice and cute dinner date but I don't think it's worth the $$$ read more

This speakeasy is such a fun place to go with friends or a date. They always have creative food and inventive drinks.

Extremely mid for the price. food was decent at best, but so expensive for the quality. Spent an extra $5 PER pierogi to get 5 instead of 3. worse than frozen ones from the grocery store. Drinks were VERY acidic, I sent the first one back (it was the daiquiri special) and the waitress was very kind and offered me a new one. the next drink was just as acidic (gin drink, I forget the name) but I felt bad returning a second one so I drank it and ended up with some wicked acid reflux. Chips app tasted like chips from a bag + hell of a good dip from the grocery store with some scallions tossed on top. Only redeeming dish was the lobster ravioli - the sauce was sooo yummy and perfect spicy level. Mac and cheese was flavorless and a little cold. Service was fantastic though, 5 stars there! Just not worth the hype for this place, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

How I described it to my husband after going with a friend: Drinks and food were really good, service ok. It was a cool place, you go through an ice cream shop to get to it. Loved how the place was dimly lit with cool decor and it was funny how everyone seemed to inadvertently speak in hushed voices at their tables. Great vibes - Looking forward to going back! read more

I visit this place almost every week on the same night with a buddy or two, and the drinks and food are great. I recommend the meatballs and the Negroni. The staff is fantastic, and the bartender, Vicky, is a consistent standout; she's always a pleasure to talk to and offers excellent drink recommendations. This place is worth a visit! read more

Cool little place. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, forget it. Pretty much nothing on the menu for you. Tried the sherried beet dish, but it was basically a super super spicy harissa shakshuka . Beets in a giant pool of spicy red sauce. Yuck. Cavatappi pasta was OK, but it was cold when it came to the table and not that good. Honestly, the best thing was the asparagus. Cool atmosphere cool drinks, but wouldn't come back for the food. read more

OMG! Such a cool experience! Haven't been to a speakeasy in a while and had an incredible time. What a cool location. My party stayed with a dodo bird drink and a few other whiskey cocktails all amazing. Then our server (I believe his name was Jed... incredible btw) recommenced the fries and the desserts which were incredible (and strong ;) ). Overall an amazing experience and a must visit in Hudson!!! read more

Haven't been here for a bit and came with a party of four. We had great and ambiance was so much better because the lighting was brighter. Didn't have to use my phone flashlight! read more

Mixed feelings about LTGT. Ambiance was decently cool but I got the feeling that this place has been milking a dated trend and lost some luster. Food was just ok; Kofta Meatballs were cold and hard. Having a difficult time understanding why a fully iced up 12 oz highball of club soda costs $4.00 (2x = $8.00) Seems a bit excessive but could justify price if refills were gratis. read more

Great dining experience. The craft cocktails were creative and delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and I can't say enough good things about the Fried Kim Cheese and the Bacon Chopped Salad. read more

Great place, drinks are inventive and made well. Food was great as well. We had their whiskey sours with rye, Horacio velveteens, and some ice cream drinks with liquor. The mussels and the harissa chicken wings, Brussels Caesar and perogies. All was great. read more

I guess this place is considered a "Speak Easy" which I have never experienced before. My friends reside a short walk away & got us a reservation outside for 6:30pm. We walked through the ice cream part down to a special "door" where we needed to give our name & reservation #. We then walked through the bar area, which was very busy, to get to our seat outside. Due to the prices of everything, especially $14 cocktails, we only had a drink each & (2) apps. Our waiter started off by saying that they are mostly known for their signature cocktails. I loved the presentation of mine (see pic). We decided to share the bruschetta & the chips w/ dip. The bruschetta was soggy & loaded with sliced tomatoes. I didn't find it very impressive. The chips & dip weren't much to write home about, as it tasted like kettle cooked chips & onion dip that can be made at home. It was all served promptly, but that's also because it required no cooking. I think it would be well worth it to try again & have an actual dinner. The cost is very high, far more than average, but the atmosphere is unique. read more

It was a happy circumstance that I was having dinner in Hudson and bumped into some locals who invited me along to this speakeasy. It is amazing! You wouldn't know it was there at all! Without a local leading the way, I wouldn't have thought this cute town even had a speakeasy. This is a beautiful, timeless, and vintage establishment. Polished yet approachable. Staff are super helpful and friendly. The drinks are fantastic! Top marks! If you are looking for a place to go with friends or to impress a date, this is the place! read more

Cute and hidden speakeasy -- I really like this place. The food is good ,The mixed drinks are great but if they added in a natural wine selection I'd be there much more often! The name is also a really (really) bad choice . I've gotta ask them next time why they named it Less than Greater Than... it's so strange .... read more

Have always had an absolutely wonderful time at less than greater than! The food is incredible; cannot recommend the chicken piccata enough (missing the pierogis though). Sacha gave great suggestions for cocktails and knows how to steer you in the right direction when you aren't sure what you'd like. A great & elegant OG speakeasy vibe all around and I love that there is a local 21+ spot that isn't a dive. read more

Music was a little too loud in our booth, but we forgot all about it because the food was so delicious!

This spot is definitely a restaurant to experience if you are in Hudson. The restaurant is cozy and the booths are definitely the best seats in the house where you can enjoy your own personal space while also looking out to see what else is going on within the restaurant. The menu is ambitious and overall delivers especially when it comes to the cocktails, dessert, pastas and most of the dishes on the menu. The only dish that was underwhelming was the bao- the bun was way too dense and thick and not airy and light. The bao dish also could have just been a great vegetarian dish that centered around the mushrooms and greens - even though I love bacon it just wasn't the right fit for this dish. S'mores pie was delicious and definitely a dessert that can be shared with 3 or more people. Try the frozen cocktails too! Service was wonderful and music was read more

This place is truly a hidden gem! Walked through the ice creamery and was welcomed at the bar! Love the speakeasy vibes, so cozy and music was a good selection. Came here before 11pm on a Friday and they weren't busy but we got our drinks and edible cocktails which was my favorite, the best ice cream I've ever tasted and it was infused with booze! I highly recommend! The staff was so kind and attentive! Thank you all! read more

I have been going Here Since they opened And always had fantastic drinks and food but on Sunday 6/1/25 my wife and I stopped in for a night cap (espresso martini) At first the bartender ignored us and another person cleaning up took our order and told the bartender what we ordered, when we got our drinks they were not in a martini glass no coffee beans and tasted watered down, deffininictly the worst martini we ever had and the smallest.I paid the 30$ plus tip and left. I thought about this for a few days before leaving this review but felt it necessary to let the owners know. read more

Top of the line craft cocktail bar. Their selections for classics as well as their own drinks are all well-executed. They both Green and Yellow Chartreuse, so we had a Tipperary and a Greenpoint. Fantastic drinks and attentive service! read more

The best part about this place is a very unique way they mix flavors. From the best, intriguing cocktails to the variety of foods, you're in for a flavor-filled treat. Service as always is friendly and knowledgeable. And the space is cozy and different. Be prepared to be close to others, though, as they try to get as many people as possible into this gem. read more

Food and drinks left much to be desired but the worst part was that I entered through the wrong door and was yelled at by a server. I couldn't find the door and went in through what I thought was the door. That set the mood and everything was downhill from there. Definitely will not be back. read more

Food is great and very hot, drinks are great, service is outstanding. We have been enjoying this restaurant for several years and always raved about it, but tonight is the last time. It was so noisy that to talk to my wife sitting right next to me I had to really raise my voice, and to hear the server was almost impossible. And the lighting was so dim you couldn't see the food so if you wanted to dip something it was very difficult to find the bowls of dip. We were at the left end of the room in a small alcove. All four of us decided to go else where and left very sad. read more

Very strange experience here. It one of those drink places that probably shouldn't have a food menu. I was there almost a month ago but the experience still feels fresh in my mind. It seemed like our waiter was immediately upset with us from the beginning. We order several appetizers and when we were finished he never came around to collect the plates. When our entrees were dropped off he still never collected any of the small plates of the dishes the appetizer came in which made for an instantly insanely crowded table. It seemed like he was trying to spend a minimal amount of time at our table. Half of us got the burger which came with a salad, we asked if we could substitute the salad for fries and he said it was fine. He ended up not substituting this but just doing the upcharge. I think he was intentionally unclear that it would not be a substitute but an additional upcharge, because again he was trying to spend as little time at the table as possible. I would've just taken the salad home and been fine with the upcharge but since he said he would be a substitute it felt very not ok. Overall I would probably never return bc the experience truly mortified me. Also, one of the entrees took an additional 20 minutes to come out and the waiter never came over to say that it would take a long time or explain so we were all just confused. I don't recommend this place at all. It was pretty empty inside which made for a quiet atmosphere but maybe it's a reflection of the not so great quality. The burger was a 4/10. I was very disappointed. Lastly when my friend spoke up about the dishonesty with the substitute to the manager she was apathetic and essentially shrugged. read more
