Very classic early 1900 bar vibes. Wine selection and food were way more than I expected. Kale salad was delicious and so was the dim sum menu. A nice seat by the sidewalk we really enjoyed ourselves. Keep up the great work. read more

*review is for upstairs menu* My partner and I have been regularly visiting Hudson for seven (!) years now yet we never made a point of visiting this space when it was a barbeque spot. During our most recent visit, I took a walk up and down Warren to see if there were any new stores I wanted to investigate, and there was Saint Florian, cozy and inviting, emanating warmth. It was a particularly frigid weekend so the warmth part (plus the signage) really drew me in. Just a few hours later and there we were upstairs, eating some delicious food and not wanting to leave. Because the weather was miserable, a reservation opened up pretty quickly after I got on the Resy notify list (the restaurant also called me). The upstairs is only open on Fridays and Saturdays so we took advantage of it being a weekend, but the downstairs menu looks fantastic as well and has plenty of overlap with the upstairs menu, though as one would expect it's a bit more casual. While the downstairs was relatively empty, upstairs was almost completely full, pretty impressive for bad weather. Overall, the space itself is quite large and I'm excited to see it buzzing with more life in the warmer months, because it definitely has the potential (both in vibes and in food) to be one of the new go-to spots in Hudson. I think Saint Florian deserves closer to a 4.5 star rating, but the only letdown was the cocktails (the wine was fantastic). I got the Martini Classico w/ gin, which was decent but not even close to cold enough, while my partner got the Royal Punch (rum, citrus blend, maraschino, lime). He disliked it more than I did and he remarked that a squeeze from the lime wedge garnish improved the overall flavor profile, but it still was a lackluster drink. The wine was redeeming, though, as the red and orange we got were both excellent and described to us in impressive detail prior to us ordering them. Food-wise, Saint Florian definitely markets itself as a steakhouse but there are plenty of other exciting menu options in addition to steak. We ended up getting three appetizers and two smaller entrees and it was the perfect amount of food. Eats, below: Beet salad w/ winter citrus: A Definitely the winning appetizer of the night. It made great use of seasonal produce and was presented beautifully. All elements of flavor and texture you'd want are there - a light dusting of cheese, cashews for some crunch, microgreen garnish, thinly sliced beets and blood orange that were as flavorful as they were vibrant. NJ Big Eye Tuna Crudo w/ rhubarb, gooseberry, celery, chive: A- This was one of the nightly specials. A solid dish though the flavors were a bit muted for our liking. Still very good, with fresh fish with thinly sliced gooseberries for some sweetness (again, props for using winter produce and an underappreciated one at that). Could've been made even better with a little chip or crostini or something on the side to add some texture. Gem Lettuce Caesar w/ House Dressing, Boquerones, Cotija, Garlic Crumbs: A- Decent but not memorable. I enjoy whole anchovies in a Caesar but something about the way this was executed didn't quite do it for me. Still, if you like Caesar salads (and they are always a go-to at a steakhouse), this is still a good option. Steelhead trout with lentils, labneh: A The fish listed on the online menu is now a cod, so I'm glad I got this one instead - both because I prefer steelhead trout to cod and the accompanying elements in this one are more exciting to me than those being offered with the cod. Anyway, enough about that because this dish was stellar. I mean, look at the picture - how could this be bad? The fish was perfectly cooked, the lentils and labneh giving the dish some earthiness and heartiness while still somehow managing to be light. Really expertly done and I loved every bite. Petite Wagyu Filet w/ Brown Butter Bearnaise: A Though I am not a steak person, my partner very much is, so of course we had to try some steak. I had a bite of it at least, and it was very good (for steak, that is - even the best steak in the world doesn't really do it for me, but I can tell when it is well-done --- in quality, not temperature!!). The brown butter bearnaise was heavenly and my partner ended up wishing he had saved the leftover to put on various other things he ate during the remainder of the trip. read more

TERRIBLE $62 SIRLOIN. I went here with a friend who wanted a steak dinner. $244 for two before tip. TERRIBLE CHEAP CUTS OF STEAK SUITABLE FOR DOGS. Or the grass fed steak was not fresh. The waiters are excellent and the side dishes are good-- not great. I was nice about the steak but complained to the chef that the cut of meat had " substantial grizzle and partially inedible." No manager or Chef came to apologize. No adjustment to my $244.00 check for two -- before tip. I've since been told the owner " rages" if staff bring complaints which is perhaps why my waiter was great but became very nervous and disappeared when I showed him the inedible rubbery steak fat and grizzle. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR STEAK. It's a nice atmosphere for the bar in an old Victorian firehouse. Bar, appetizers, wine, drinks. Very nice friendly staff. Absolutely TERRIBLE steaks and expensive. Expect $100 per person for dinner. Go to bar get the Skate and a Caesar and you're good. the staff is very nice. read more

I've had multiple great meals here. Very consistent great service. I loved it. They are open for lunch and dinner. read more

I visited Saint Florian in Hudson back in September, the food was absolutely delicious. When it came time to close out, our server accidentally brought us another table's check and said, "it's about the same prices as yours." We didn't think much of it, paid, and left a 20% tip since we'd enjoyed the meal. Later, after checking the menu, we realized we'd overpaid by about $20-$30. I understand things can get hectic when a restaurant is short-staffed, but a quick acknowledgment or even a small gesture like a drink or dessert would've gone a long way. read more

Bartender understood the assignment. We ordered the Vespertine and a Manhattan. Both amazing. Will definitely come back to try the food. read more

Great food and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shrimp cocktail is the freshest and best i have ever had

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch while we were visiting for a wedding. Everything we had from the coffees to the burger and fries were excellent. The vibe is super cute inside, and the service was great for how busy it was. Would come back here the next time we're in town read more

I had the pleasure of dining at this gem of a restaurant a few months ago, and I'm still thinking about the wonderful and delightful time my wife and I had. It was so good we even brought out our extended family the next time we came. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone--warm lighting, tasteful decor, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere made it feel both welcoming and special. The food and drink selection has both classic and innovative elements--surely enough to appease both the gastronome and burger-eater alike. read more

Best thing in the menu is the burger... but it isn't available from 5pm to 9pm! High end bar food. Informal but expensive.

Popped in after skiing at Hunter. Saw they had a prime rib but only available Monday. Ended up with a Caesar salad and 16oz ribeye. Great attentive service, delicious food, and cool vibes. Wonderful new addition to Hudson. Rest of menu looks great so I will definitely come back. read more

I have to start off by saying that I am being generous with giving 2 stars as opposed to 1. The extra star is only due to the pleasant service from my two servers that were very attentive. My husband and I went to dinner here this past Saturday evening with great expectations of it being a prime steakhouse based on the prices alone, along with the reputation of Hudson NY and the clientele that are use to true NYC steakhouses. Boy were we sadly disappointed. I will keep this as brief as I can. The fried mushrooms and Confit Sunchokes were over fried almost burnt on the outside and firm, yet burning hot on the inside. Horrible to be honest. Both of them. Something I would expect at a fast food joint. My $50 14 oz NY strip was 3/4" thick at best, 1/2" of grizzle and fat boarding more that one full side of the cut and sitting in grease. It was served on a plate that I would find at a local diner with not so much as a sprinkle of garnish to make it the least bit more appealing. All I can say is that it was cooked to the temperature I ordered it at ... but I've had a better cut of meat found wrapped in plastic from price chopper. This steak was a joke. Again, horrible. Moving on to the wine that I so desperately needed to make this meal at all satisfying. As I sat and waited for it to arrive, I watched the bartender pour our two glasses of red wine one for myself and one for my husband. As I watched him finish pouring, I said to myself, surely he is reaching for another bottle because he ran out. No. He served us each a $15 glass of wine that was beyond pathetic. Not even a "2 finger" pour. It was barely 3+ ounces of wine in each glass. I actually made a comment to him asking him "is this really your pour that you serve a customer paying $15 a glass from the house "by the glass" selection. He said simply and confidently with a little arrogance, "yes, it's 5 ounces". I just walked away. In the end, our bill included 2 appetizers, 2 Tito's martinis, 2 entrees, and 2 glasses of wine. $250.00 later. NEVER AGIN!!! Beware. This place is a sad excuse for a steak house and will not be around very long if they don't turn things around FAST. Extremely disappointed and expecting so much more with Hudson's exceptional reputation. read more

Physical space is the best part of this restaurant. Very elegant with a funky vibe. Wish there were more good things to say. Menu is very limited and almost everything has some "unique" "unusual " flavoring that further limits choice. All except the steak, where you have to pay extra to get any sauce to flavor it. Ordered my filet med-well done, it came and was raw inside. They took it back to cook it more and returned it over done and completely tasteless. Plating was non existent- no garnish, and obviously, no sides. Cocktail tasted like fruit punch and had no detectable alcohol content ( and I'm a lightweight). Staff kept pushing drinks and clearly were just interested in running up the bill rather than contributing to an enjoyable evening. Paid a lot, ate almost nothing and would never go back. read more

Excellent service, and food. Strange choice of music, a bit too loud and funky to maintain a "normal" conversation. Yet worth repeating.

The bartender made delectable Manhattans! Cheers and bravo! The vibe in the place was great, the physical space is beautiful, and the staff were attentive and friendly. As a vegetarian, I can say this is the best steakhouse - I had more than one option! My partner raved about the prime rib. read more

I've eaten at St. Florian about ten times. Each time is great. The steaks are fantastic! Prime grade meats, perfectly aged and prepared. The burgers and apps are fantastic as are the fish dishes. Try the scallop and shrimp toast! Beyond the quality of the food, the rooms are very nicely done and the service is attentive without being overbearing. Give this place a try. read more

Deplorable business model and I would never give them a dime of my money. We had a reservation made through their preferred app, with a credit card used to hold the reservation. Unfortunately, on the day of the reservation, half of the party (including 2 persons in their 80s) was diagnosed with a contagious virus. I called the restaurant in person, explained the situation, and was assured that it was not a problem to cancel with no charge. I have now come to find a $300 cancelation fee was put on my credit card. Odd that even after I cancelled, a friend called to get a table and was told none were available. It was a busy holiday weekend so I am sure the table filled. read more
