    Lovely preserved historic train station with rich architectural finishes in spacious high ceiling to enjoy delicious prepared dishes. Very helpful staff explained large group options, dishes were deliciously seasoned, very attentive waiters keeping our waters filled with no lag in services. Looking forward to coming back for bridal shower - a definite recommendation!

    Rails Burrata
    Sarah B.

    Modern on the Rails is a solid dinner spot. It's a great location and the ambiance/decor is a total vibe. It's definitely got an upscale feel, while also not being stuffy or fancy. You could easily go here for dinner in jeans and not feel out of place, but also if you wanted to dress up for a date night or special occasion, it would also be appropriate. The space is also really nice and is a good option if you were having a larger group or wanted to do a celebratory meal. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is solid and the price is reasonable for what you are getting. They brought over bread to start and the bread was nice and warm. We started with the burrata app which weirdly came with 3 pieces of medium bread (same as the basket, but toasted or grilled). It felt like it should have been smaller crostini type bread and also more pieces given the app, but it didn't matter because we had the warm bread basket. The app itself was nice, but not overly special. For dinner we had the burger and the squid ink pasta with salmon. The burger was good, but the sweet potato fries needed any kind of seasoning, even salt. The pasta was the best dish of the night. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious and the pasta was great. Overall, I would definitely come back here again. It's a nice spot with reasonable prices, great ambiance and service, and the food is solid.

    the ambiance was great but the service was slow. The restaurant was practically empty when we got there towards the end is when it got busy. My main entrée which was the lobster and steak was honestly very mid and I expected more for a restaurant that's priced at the way they are. The drink and the appetizer is the best thing.

    Italian donuts

    What a great experience! Really nice decor and ambiance in the room. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our waiter made several recommendations, which were great. The manager came by halfway through the meal to check on us, I always appreciate that. I had the mozzarella sticks to start and my wife had the Caesar salad. I know mozzarella sticks are simple, but when they are done correctly you notice the difference. These were perfect. For our mains I had the Lobster ravioli and my wife had the roasted chicken. Both were great. The sauce with the chicken was especially tasty. For dessert I had the Italian donuts (zeppolis) and my wife had the chocolate chip cookie. Delicious!! The price was very reasonable. If we're in the area again we will definitely be back! Highly recommend this place!

    Had a wonderful experience here. We came for a private party and the service was outstanding. The food was very good too. It was brunch and I especially enjoyed the French toast. The penne a la vodka was a huge hit too.

    Calamari
    Marc K.

    Music was a tad load and somewhat annoying. Service was good. Chairs comfortable My chicken Parmesan was generously sized, perfectly seasoned, cooked just right. Calamari was Cosmopolitan Bruschetta was a like a pizza!

    Espresso Martini
    Jason M.

    This place is like Goldilocks. I ordered the Lamb T-bone. First it came out overcooked. Then it came out RAW and not cooked at all. The third time, it came out just right. It took 40 minutes to bring me overcooked lamb, 10 minutes to bring me a raw lamb, and another 7minutes to properly cook it. They also failed to rest the meat. The service was good and so are the espresso martinis (no Baileys). The owner came out and apologized for the lamb and took our drinks off the bill which was very nice. The ambiance here is very nice. Most people will like this place.

    Linguini with White Clam Sauce
    Tomiko P.

    Great ambiance. Super friendly and attentive staff. Bartender was amazing, super delicious dirty martini!! Apps & food were on point. I order the linguine & white clam sauce and I had more clams than pasta which was great with me. They have mussels on the app menu I don't care for them in red sauce and the chef was very accommodating and made mine with garlic and white wine sauce. Calamari super crispy. Overall I give it 5 stars because that's what you get. I will definitely be back again and again.

Anytime, I find myself in, and I am in a lot, it feels like in a boat, a special place, private in a cruise boat... The food is composed of Italian and South American dishes, a very rare combination that gives a lot of choices of very delicious meals... The service is super great, they are very patient, knowing it is very difficult to choose from the great diversity. They have a lot of parking spaces, either in the building garage or along Main Street. Just check it out and think me later.

    What a hidden gem!…read more My cousin was in a play recently, and another family member was researching where should we go for a linner - and stumbled upon 179 Main. From a current Westchester resident, my sister, mom and I were hesitant to go , but we were proved wrong that it was a great restaurant. We were a party of 7, and we all felt cared for, the staff was understanding, and attentive from the moment we sat down to leave. Each member in my party had something diffferent: 1. Chicken sandwich 2. Burger 3. Ahi tuna tacos 4. Carbonora (x2) 5. Chicken capricossa 6. Chicken Parm - and even accommodated vodka sauce instead of regular marinara sauce. Wine was nicely poured, cocktails were tasty (although I didn't love my raspberry martini) beer was cold. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and welcoming. Will be coming back ASAP!

Once we were seated the waiter arrived asking about drinks which we declined in favor of bottled water, i ordered coffee as well and was offered 1 whole cup. Nobody came around for refill the rest of the meal We each ordered an appetizer and a main, both of our mains featuring 2sunny side up. 15 -20 minutes later BOTH entrees and my appetizer arrive WTF? After that our server just seemed to disappear. My daughter had hangar steak & eggs. I had the pork carnitas and eggs. Both our order's eggs were ordered sunny side up. Typically it's the yolks that are runny but both of our orders had runny whites as well. All this time we waited on the other appetizer to arrive. For a place that was not very busy the service was galactically awful. The food was passable but not great. The banana bread appetizer arrived as the busboy came to take our entree dishes. And that was after 2 reminders to our waiter (both appetizers were taken to go). Whoever is running this place (nobody game by asking how our meal was) should be embarrassed. When i spoke with our waiter about the abysmal service he passed it off on the busboy! There is no sense of teamwork nor pride in doing a good job. Sad.

All three were fantastic. The breakfast pizza had us craving more, and the oysters were fresh, delicious, and delicately shucked. I tried the chilaquiles and the short rib hash. The chilaquiles were very good, despite being a bit different from the red-sauce version I'm used to. But omg, the short rib hash was SO GOOD. This is an absolute killer dish. I've never been a huge fan of hollandaise sauce, but they put it on the side for me, and honestly, it blended extremely well with the flavors of the hash. The "5 O'Clock Somewhere" cocktail is refreshing and gave me a very light buzz that paired well with the delicious options we ordered. The staff is friendly and very attentive, and the spot itself is very clean, spacious, and stunning. I would definitely visit this spot again.

But while I waited for a fried seafood dinner order not far off on Mamaroneck Ave., I thought stopping here would be good. Ugggh. I was impressed with Mercurio's pasta supply. An additional item of note, freezers are clearly labeled, pasta is all frozen and there's a good assortment of convenient Italian pre-prepared, pre-packaged pasta+ meat, pasta+veggie filling meals AND more. The Spinach Lasagna (bought for my mom) and Butternut Squash Ravioli (for me) were easily my two top picks. I also picked up Mozzarella Sticks and non-meat Italian red sauce. As an avid seafood lover, I noticed a few seafood-filled pasta which will probably get some other time. I don't think price was bad at all- then again I can't gauge it with anything else. CA$H only- by the way. Even though I didn't make a big buy, by the time I left, I was way past the maybe-I-should-watch-what-I-eat. But I'll enjoy... now.

The menu looked amazing and we're excited but we're worried we weren't dressed appropriately, Caroline insured us we woke fit in just fine. I personally love to dine at the bar when possible especially with a great bartender like Izzy. We were the first ones there by accident which can feel funny but Izzy was so warm and welcoming and very eager to meet us and tell us about the epic menu and the show stopping desserts. We told Izzy our drink preferences and he nailed it each drink. We started with a dozen oysters that were incredible and shocked perfectly. Then followed that with the bone marrow which had a tasteful amount of chimichurri sauce and a side of crunchy salt to use for your liking. It was delicious! We were temped to next get the octopus but needed room for the "bar only specials" which is a brilliant idea very unique. It was a wagu blend cheese burger with arugula and a delicious black garlic spread and perfectly cooked fries. Perfect for sharing! A dinner isn't complete without an espresso martini! I highly recommend this place to any food enthusiast and fan of wine, spirits and excellent desserts. Lastly the decor was also amazing. The chef's not only designs top notch desserts he also did the wood work art along the bar. I also loved the pictures of all the people in the back of the restaurant over the course of there decades of business. Lastly the history is incredible it use to be the village hall and jailhouse! They incorporated the jail into a wine cellar that seats two people for a fun drink before or after dinner. Highly give this place a 10 out of 10 for excellent food, drink, service and vibes!

The care and detail in everything presented to the diner are so thoughtful. The drinks deserve just as much praise and are beautifully crafted. If you're lucky enough to visit on a night when Izzy is behind the bar, consider yourself fortunate. He's not only a "DJ" of cocktails, but warm, friendly, and fun to be around. Honestly, sitting at the bar is just as good as, if not better than, a seat in the dining room. We travel from Manhattan just to come here, and Hudson House never disappoints. It's the kind of place you find yourself returning to again and again, and recommending to everyone you know.
