The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful while the potatoes were extra crispy. The lamb on a bed of peas with bits of crunchy chick peas on top of tzatziki was also amazing (I don't think it can outshine the pork chop) the lamb was a hearty serving of tender deliciousness as well. Ended things with the brown butter cake drizzled in salted caramel topped with mousse and pumpkin seeds - also fabulous.

Nova prides itself on being a dive bar. To the point where they even scribbled their name on a…read moreposter, located, in an appropriate place, above the toilet in the men's bathroom! There's really no redeeming value to be associated with this place other than it being a cool place to have a beer during the hot summer months. And downright freezing during the winter! Me finding myself tethered to John (a local gadabout) who drags me to a seemingly endless line of beverage intakes of an alcohol nature, and I not being use to the effects of cold and ice. The ice in the parking lot can be treacherous, and the inside is like aging beef in cold storage! Ahhh but that only adds to its charm. Tie that in with the warm hearts sharing the bar and it makes for a memorable experience. But not one that I would frequent on a daily basis. I heard stories about there being caves associated with Nova. Who knows, maybe someday John will get me an invite to explore and I'll come across Injun' Joe just like Tom Sawyer. My luck though it'll be a rabid bat I find. A memory ever associated with the bowels of the dive which is Nova. Honestly speaking, I had fun at Nova, cold and all. We would have stayed longer but alas, a dinner engagement loomed which would provide us the opportunity to indulge once more, and more importantly, thaw out! Quick Tip: After you've had your fill at Nova you can walk down to the corner for ice cream at the Dairy Queen. You'll find that novelty warmer than what you had to endure at Hudsons finest dive.

They have ton of tvs on the rooftop to watch sports, etc. They also have huge see through panels to protect you from the elements. Weather can change in an instance. Food: We ordered the Gouda chicken nachos with guac. It was decadent. So delish. Highly recommend. We also had jalapenos on the side so those that love them can enjoy them. Also ordered a size of fries which were okay. Drinks: I ordered a mason jar cocktail of the pina colada (not blended). I don't remember seeing the cost on the menu for their cocktails and didn't realize it was going to be in a Large mason jar. I thought it would be in a smaller sized one. Anyways it was fine and tasted good but $25 for a cocktail was steep but it was also like having 2 cocktails. Look forward to coming back and trying an entree.

They had 2 of my favorite white wines on the list, great. Until the sweet new server nervously told me they were out of both of them and only had their house Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay available. Out of a lack of choices I ordered a Chardonnay and when I told the server it was so oaky it was undrinkable, she came back to say her manager wouldn't take it off the bill because there was "nothing wrong with it." Ok fine, I see his logic. What I will also say is that mentality as a manager to make a guest pay for something they were unhappy with due to a lack of managing inventory and limited selections, he lost a repeat customer and prompted a negative review. I was a server too for a long time. I know how wine pricing works. It would have cost nothing to help find a drink a guest actually wants. Putting profit over people always results in losing money. It's no wonder there were plenty of tables available there while San Pedro was on a 90 minute wait. I'd say there's a LOT of room for improvement in how it's run. Treat your guests and servers with respect and be generous with your offerings and problem solving. It always comes back ten fold. There's too many good places to eat in Hudson to come back here.

Thing is that one of the bars only has two Yelp reviews (one of them is mine), and this one only has 22. Either the places want to stay incognito, or the clientele want to keep certain elements out. If the latter is the case, then they blew it with me. I managed to sneak by their ever vigilant eyes. I, a tourist from Southern California, sporting a USC hat, at first sight looked out of place. I was initially stared down. It wasn't until they noticed that I was wearing a Hudson Raiders hoody that I was welcomed. Not with open arms, mind you, but let's just say that I was accepted. I was my jovial self and told them that it was ok to stare. Someone as handsome as I gets that all the time. The ice was broken. Starr's is a cool place. If you're a sports fan, you'll love the number of TVs scattered throughout. Literally one for each game no matter what the sport. Your choices of beer are just as numerous. It was fun sitting at the bar looking across at the locals tying one on. When new patrons filed in a quick cursory spy would give them the thumbs up. It's huge inside. I can only imagine what it's like when there's a full house. The food menu looks sufficient to meet the want of anyone needing to soak up the myriad of exotic beers ingested. A dad with 3 kids was doing just that. The dad, not the kids. They all looked happy. Either the kids were extremely well-behaved, or the food was so good that they didn't have to complain. Which is more than I can say about John, who was accompanying me on this tour of the north end. Quick Tip: Ample parking is available at Starr's. But park in the back behind the building. When it comes time to explain to your spouse where the hell you were for the past 3 hours, I wasn't at Starrs honey. Did you see my car there? Had you driven past the library, then your question would have been answered. If they ask, then why do you smell like a brewery? Just say free samples at Walmart.

Every meal…read moreand every visit has been consistently fantastic, which is why it's one of our favorite places to bring family and friends. We first discovered San Pedro's from a "best patios" list in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, decided to try it for a date night, and we've been hooked ever since. It's always worth the drive across the border into Wisconsin for this gem! The jerk chicken nachos are our absolute FAVORITE--we order them every single time. They're perfectly layered so every bite has that cheesy, flavorful goodness instead of everything sitting on top. A newer obsession of ours is the street corn pizza. It's the perfect balance of sweet and heat and easily one of the most unique, delicious pizzas we've tried. The cocktails always deliver, especially the jalapeño blood orange margaritas and the mojitos. San Pedro's is absolutely worth the wait for a table--especially if you can snag a spot on the patio!

We got a lovely long booth in the corner which was cozy and a little quieter. We grabbed some beverages and an appetizer of chips and the 3 dips.

I also caught the tail end of a great college basketball game too. Annie was our server who was great. I will note that it was super busy at the time with some larger parties requiring separate checks so when we wanted to close out it did take a little time to get our tab. Otherwise great service.
