Hudson Farmer & The Fish Restaurant Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Location

Pros:

• "Once you go around back, the atmosphere and view are top notch."

• "Great location with a waterfront river view."
• "Wonderfully located on the river bank."

Cons:

• "The patio did get hot and sunny even with the awning, the sun reflected from the water I think."
• "Had to sit in the bar area so couldn't take advantage of the view."
• "Outdoor seating lacks shade at times making it difficult to comfortably seat parties of four or more."
• "But parking is a mess."
• "It's impossible if you have a bigger car or truck."
• "The overhead meager awning did NOTHING to shield us from the sun at that time of day."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Every dish was fresh and on point. Scallop salad was so tender and perfect blend of dressing on the greens."

Cons:

• "Overpriced lobster roll. The lobster was finely chopped and amounted to perhaps three tablespoons."
• "Unfortunately my lobster roll was tough and overcooked."
• "The yellow fin tuna for main course came with rice which was crunchy and either undercooked or just dry from being burnt."
• "The oysters are disgusting and I’m honestly concerned of a bacterial infection."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It is not cheap but worth every penny!"
• "Hudson Farmer & The Fish is a rare combo of better than good food, great view, better than good service and an all around good value."
• "Totally worth a visit."

Cons:

• "For 2 people, for what was expected, it unfortunately did not earn the 107.00 tab."

• "I thought $27 for fish and chips was a little steep."
• "The food is overpriced and salty."
• "The goat cheese brûlée appetizer was delicious although also over-priced…as were their specialty cocktails."

Accessibility

Pros:

• "So I guess if you're walking or coming by motorcycle it's a great place."
