We were there for the New Years brunch. The food selection was but unfortunately, it wasn’t stocked enough, so we had to wait for several items. It was delicious. All of the staff, including our server, Addie, were very helpful and friendly.

Hudson & Essex is a high end restaurant with attentive staff & unique drinks and food. The wait staff helps each other out & you can see the comradery that exists between the servers. It's a terrific atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. In addition to typical filet, chicken dish, etc. there is always something new to try. We had a beef tartare and salmon poke & both were fabulous. In addition to the barrel aged Manhattan, there are always new drinks on the menu to try. Definitely recommend stopping in for a drink, app, or meal!
