    We held a family dinner for 24 in Farmer's Merchant House. Beautiful, comfortable space, food and drink were delicious! We only had 1 server and definitely could have used another but I would book a dinner here again without hesitation!

    Classic, elegant, cozy & romantic restaurant. I went on a date with my wife & we loved it. Their Appalachian Onion Soup is mindblowing! Also tried their lasagne, original burger & bread butter skillet- all delicious. We were also treated with a birthday dessert on the house which made it truly special for us. The sticky toffee pudding was indulgent & lip smacking. Definitely make your way to Wm Farmers for a memorable evening.

    ChatGPT recommended this farm to table restaurant and I am so glad we didn't check yelp reviews before trying this fantastic restaurant fearing the low number of stars would have discouraged us to give it a try! It would be a shame if we didn't because everything was above and beyond our expectations and more! On a road trip to Niagara falls we passed through Hudson and the ambience, the service and the food really surprised us here! In a good way of course! The green goddess Endive salad is what we started with! heavenly fresh Endive, grated cheese, snap peas and pistachios oh so good! I had the award winning free range chicken dish and my hubby had the grass fed burger! 5 stars are not enough to rate this hip, cozy restaurant, the friendly staff and their fresh and healthy dishes on a rainy mid week summer day in upstate New York! A Hudson Valley restaurant experience to remember!

    We were in town for a week and this place peaked our interest the day we arrived when we heard rave reviews about their oyster specials. Foolishly, we waited until our last night in town and the very last minute to call for a reservation, special shout out to a friend who reached out to the owners who graciously accommodated our party. We were seated in a cute little room that felt like we were transported back to another era. The decor was fun and rustic. We had an amazing dinner. Our servers were awesome, the food was phenomenal! The oysters were worth the wait- so fresh! The lentil soup special was served in the cutest tea cup. The trio of veggies were tasty. The tartare was delectable. Everyone loved their food selection and we were in and out in an hour! We understand how it's become a local favorite. We highly recommend this establishment, just remember to make a reservation

    I was just trying to find something to eat. I wasn't looking for a particular experience BUT just trying to find something to eat. I not only found something to eat; I also found another reason to visit Hudson again soon. My experience here was absolutely stellar and I can easily write a whole novel about it. But I won't. I don't need to. If you're a foodie that finds yourself in this area, please do give this establishment a visit. The menu is well thought out with the components *all* made in house. The approach is similar to fine dining but laid out in a more casual and fun way. Despite my server obviously having an "off" day, everyone else continued to show their support to him and helped make the whole visit absolutely wonderful. Best part was running into two locals sitting outside having a drink (and semi-plastered) asking how I enjoyed it. They didn't think I *didn't* enjoyed it. They literally was asking how *MUCH* I enjoyed it. That says something doesn't it? Can't wait to be back when your menu changes again. Apparently, you cook to your heart's content and everyone around this block knows it and promotes it.

    Gosh, I don't get the negativity on here!!! I stayed here at the hotel and had dinner and had the BEST time, and they accommodated me coming late and having some complications. I just love this place! It's not easy out in these streets running a small hotel and restaurant, but I actually loved it. I only have a pic of my room but DO NOT BLAME THEM that I dumped my belongings on the bed before I took the pic.

    We had one more night in Hudson and had narrowed down our dinner options to a few restaurants we hadn't yet tried. Wm Farmer & Sons ended up being our choice because we were intrigued by the country ham board with biscuits. We were able to make a reservation a couple hours out online, and beat the dinner rush. It can get quite cozy with others in close proximity, so go early if you're not a fan of that. Lynette was our server and she was cordial and very knowledgeable about the menu. She was sensitive to dietary restrictions and worked with the kitchen to ensure our requests were accurate. The country ham board ended up being a great appetizer, with excellent biscuits and pickles to complement the ham. We followed up with the snail souffle (I would have ordered this without the giant egg on top, but it did not mention that ingredient on the menu) which was very good, as well as the beef tartar (the "chips" were a nice addition to this appetizer!). The cast-iron chicken was nice and I enjoyed the spoonbread with gravy, which I had never had before. Spouse enjoyed the gnocchetti. We were expecting small gnocchi (made of potato and a solid piece of pasta) but didn't realize that gnocchetti are just pasta in the shape of gnocchi. It was good none-the-less! We were pleased with our experience at Wm Farmer & Sons and would definitely come here again if in the area!

    If I could give 3.5 stars I would. And if we hadn't paid 5 star money for our meal, I would be giving 4 stars. We just felt underwhelmed by the food for the price we paid. The decor and vibe and ambience were lovely. Beautifully decorated and felt warm inside. While it was good, it wasn't amazing and it felt wildly overpriced ($190 for dinner for two, with only one of us drinking alcohol -- tip included though). We were seated immediately but it took a very long time for someone to come take our drink order, and when they did, the delay wasn't acknowledged. After that the service was smooth and very attentive and warm. We had the crab dip appetizer, which was good but the flavor was underwhelming for me -- felt like it needed more oomph, more crab taste. For entrees we had the pork chop and the monkfish. Both were good but nothing life changing. The strawberries really made the pork chop dish, rounding out the flavor. Just felt like $46 for the pork chop dish was a lot considering it wasn't out of this world good. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding with cinnamon ice cream. The outside was moist but the inside I found a bit dry. The cinnamon ice cream was excellent. Cocktails were good!

    Long story short, I've been following the Maker Hotel on Instagram for quite a while and finally…read morevisited Valentine's weekend! I didn't stay at the hotel because it is pretty pricey, but I visited their Lounge after getting dinner in town. Didn't have a reservation so getting into the restaurant bar was impossible but they told us we could walk around the corner to their lounge. Upon entering the lounge, we were greeted immediately and told that there was no available seating due to full reservations yet half the bar and a few of the lounge tables were empty. The guy said he would take our names and that it could be up to an hour wait so we did that and stood there. After nearly 45 minutes and those empty bar seats + lounge yankee still not being filled, he offered us a half of a couch next to another couple. We would've sat next to them sooner if only he let us! Aside from that, service was fast and drinks were good. The menu included signature cocktails that paired with the Maker's signature fragrances. I tried the Rebel which was pretty good. We ordered some bites -- the beef tartare with onion rings and a side of fries. I love a beef tartare which is so rare to find as many places offer Tuna. It really hit the spot. Moral of the story: Make a reservation!

Picture super high ceilings and a dark but cozy space. I also loved my drink (the Dream cocktail) which was a perfect drink for autumn. My friend got the Naked cocktail which I personally didn't like (I'm not a fan of gin), but wow was the presentation of the cocktail incredible. Our server was friendly as well and gave us some nice suggestions for the drinks. We also walked through the hotel to its main entrance so that was nice seeing the way it was decorated.

The food menu is definitely limited, better for snacks than a meal. We got the esquites and it was ok, though a fairly small portion and the corn was either overcooked or canned. Either way, a shame at the height of local corn season. The cocktail menu seemed to highlight edgy and unconventional flavor pairings, which is generally my favorite kind of cocktail but both times the ones available were a bridge too far for my tastes. The wine list seems great, but each time I've asked questions the server or bartender has said they haven't tried it and had to go get the owner/manager. I've ordered local beer (none on tap, sadly, but some good local cans) and martinis, some of which are served in little swing top bottles on ice. When the bill came, I was shocked that our standard martinis cost $17 each, which was inexplicably more expensive than the fancy cocktails on the high proof menu (which all ranged from $14-16).

The second time it was oddly empty, but I generally have few complaints. The cocktails are delicious and original, and the list of tinned fish is unusual and vast. Sure, the food menu might not be for everyone (the few other reviews mention that the food is strange and/or unapproachable), but if you put aside your reservations what's offered really is quite good. I hope Padrona picks up in the coming months/years, because it's got great energy and has lots of potential. Most recently, we came here around around 8:30 on a Thursday night. As I mentioned, it was pretty empty. A few parties inside, a few outside. Not sure if it was just a down night or if people haven't discovered yet, but no matter. The place certain has potential for great vibes: good music, beautiful decor, nice feng shui. We ended up sitting at the bar just to get a front row seat to the action, which is always fun. I would say Padrona is much more of a drinks destination than a food destination, but we wanted to get a sense of the full menu so we ordered both, Drinks-wise, we like just about everything we tried. I started with the Haus Martini (olive oil washed gin, cocchi americano, salers, pickled tomato), which was such a smooth and elegant martini variation. I then tried the Pretty Hot Thing (mezcal, ancho reyes, yellow bell pepper, serrano pepper, honey), which had all the right components of a good mezcal drink - spice, smokiness, and vegetals notes. I finished with the most nightcap-worthy drink on the menu, the Smoke Gets in Your Eye (scotch, amaro china china, porter syrup) which was smoky, rich, and just delicious. My partner tried the OG Slush (mezcal, thai chili infused aperol, smoked agave, lime, sumac) and the French Gold (cognac, ginger liqueur, oro blanco grapefruit, honey, preserved grapefruit), and he preferred the flavor profile of the French Gold. The food here is fun and unique. I wouldn't recommend making a dinner out of it as we did (more on that in a moment), but I don't regret our approach. We ended up getting the English Pea and Mint Hummus, the Charcuterie and Cheese Board, the Nuri Spiced Mackerel, and the Razor Clams. I would say our favorites were the hummus and clams, but everything was solid. What I did not expect was the sheer amount of bread/crostini we received for dipping. Nothing could have prepared us for that! We ended up taking the leftovers home but in retrospect perhaps we could have ordered one fewer thing.

    Wow, what a treat to experience Willy's Rum Room on its opening night! Well, technically the space…read moreitself has been open for some time now, it's just moonlighting as Willy's now. By day, you know it as the Mercantile, the small coffee shop/bakery attached to Wm. Farmer and Sons. Though small in size and in what it offers, Willy's is a formidable venue. The cocktail program was created by the guy who created that of Wm. Farmer and Sons, which is probably the best of its kind in Hudson. As you'd guess, all drinks are rum-based (feel free to order from the adjacent bar if you're not feeling rum but in my opinion, only pop in here if you're looking for some funky rum cocktails). I'm not typically into rum, but I can be swayed if a drink is good enough. Such was the case here, and it didn't surprise me. Come here for a pre-dinner cocktail or a nightcap and learn a bit about a spirit you might've not thought much about prior to visiting. Welcome to the scene! Came here with my bf on a Friday night. We were getting dinner at Wm. Farmer and Sons but arrived a bit early for our reservation. Our gracious host recommend that we hang by the bar, OR, try out Willy's, just through the entryway. We apparently visited on its opening night, and I hope it enjoys a good life here. The hostess informed us that the cocktail menu there was different than that at Wm. Farmer and Sons--all rum-based--but if we weren't feeling rum, the bartender could still whip anything up from the restaurant's main menu. As I mentioned, the space itself is teeny tiny. Standing room only--more of a place to stop in as opposed to posting up and staying awhile. Just like its parent restaurant, the vibe in here is cozy and welcoming. Let's get to the important stuff: drinks. Everything at Willy's is rum-based. Even if you're not a rum lover, don't just assume you'll prefer the cocktail menu at Wm. Farmer and Sons better. I usually go for whiskey or gin, but I was thrilled with what I tried here. That said, if you come here and for some odd reason decide that you want to stay in this space but order from the other bar, you can indeed do that. I just don't suggest it, because what's the point? Between me and my bf, we tried the Mai Tai (Jamaican Rum, Bajan Rum, Rhum Agricole, Fresh lime juice, Curacao, Orgeat, Overproof Rum float) and the Fish House Punch (Jamaican Rum, Cognac, Peach Liquer, fresh lemon juice, soda water). Both fun tropical drinks, nice for the beginning of spring. Expertly crafted and impeccably balanced. I suppose I preferred the Fish House Punch slightly, but they were both fantastic. I thought the peach/cognac pairing was quite nice, rich but still refreshing. They also offer a Daiquiri and an Old Fashioned here, with your rum of choice. I'd probably recommend exploring that route if you want to explore different rums and understand a bit more about what each type brings to the table. I know lots about gin and whiskey and don't care to know too much more about rum (plus I don't like rum-based, spirit-forward drinks so the old fashioned would be a no-go) so it wasn't for me. That said, the bartender here is as knowledgable as they come and I somewhat regret not asking him about his selection to learn a bit more. They've got some fun stuff here that's worth looking into. Cheers!
