The Hudson

Omg, this Restaurant has SERIOUS management issues. We be been there several time in the past months, and every time, we were seated and then nothing happens for at least 20 minutes. Then a waiter finally arrives and apologizes that there was staffing confusion and that they’re understaffed. One of the times we went there, we finally got our drinks ourselves at the bar because the waiter failed to bring us two beers for over 30 minutes. During the last visit on a hot day, around 2pm, we ordered sparkling water, sparkling wine and regular wine. Then nothing happened for another 15 minutes. After that, the waiter brought the wine, apologized that they were out of the sparkling wine. We asked what about the water? “Oh sorry, I’ll bring it right away.” Then nothing happened. After another long while, we flag the waitress down and again ask about the water, and tell her that the wine glass was dirty. “Oh I’m so sorry, I’ll bring your water and a new wine glass right away, and I’m ready to take your orders.” We order oysters, Sushi, and a the Mango salad. I tell her I have an allergy and to please check on the dressing, or bring just oil and vinegar. Then nothing happens for another 10 minutes. Finally, she comes back with water, and apologizes that they were out of larger water bottles and had brought two tiny ones instead. No sign of a new wine glass…. I ask again about he wine, and she : “oh sure I’ll bring it right away”. Then she comes back, and tells us they were out of the Oysters, and also had no Sushi that day. We had to order a complete new meal, one of them was brisket. Finally she brought the food, no wine, and no mentioning of the salad dressing and my allergy, and told me she didn’t know if they had put the dressing on. I ask her for oil and vinegar and she came back and only brought oil and told us they didn’t have vinegar. I asked for salt and pepper, which we never got. The brisket was terrible, dry and almost inedible. There seem to be no food stations that just offer salt and pepper, or water. The waiters are completely without peripheral perception and only focus on one task a time, going back and forth for every single item. When I asked one waiter who was serving another table, why everything took so long, he said “because management is totally disorganized”. I can’t help, but agree.
