Brunch or dinner is always incredible!! The chefs seasonal menu’s are first class. Beautiful patio seating outside, or the chef counter inside to watch the magic happen. Classy interior is comfortable any time year and the marble bar is well stocked and first come first serve! There’s also a private wine cellar for larger groups!

Cozy spot with a nice courtyard. The Savory Tart and Linguine were OK. The ceviche and duck were great. The chocolate bread pudding was amazing.

Best gluten free pancakes in New York City!! The menu is extensively gluten-free friendly, and everything we tried was fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented!

A quintessential brunch spot with good food and lovely atmosphere. Delicious arugula salad, phenomenal duck hash, and a dark chocolate bread pudding that smoulders in its tastiness. You definitely should visit.

If you come here you better hope you get McKenna!!!! She is attentive, funny, and a dream of a server. She made our night more wonderful than we could have ever dreamed. Seriously. She is the real deal. One day when she’s a famous actress I will remember the night I had her as my server. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We had a great dining experience at Hudson Clearwater on our trip to NYC. The service and food were both amazing, and the restaurant was in a great location. I had a latte and a fried egg and cheese sandwich, and very much enjoyed every bit. We were very happy with our brunch experience, and would recommend a visit to anyone in the area!

Charming Hideaway in the West Village – Perfect for Lunch or an Intimate Evening COZY LUNCH/BRUNCH SPOT Hudson Clearwater is a cozy little gem tucked away in a quiet corner of the West Village. I’ve been here a few times for lunch, and it’s a lovely spot for a business meeting or a casual catch-up with a friend. The menu is limited but well-curated, with quality ingredients and thoughtful dishes that never disappoint. THE SPACE The space itself is small and intimate, with cozy tables and a warm, welcoming vibe. One of the best features is the adorable outdoor patio—a hidden little oasis that feels worlds away from the bustle of Manhattan. ROMANTIC EVENING While I haven’t had the chance to dine here in the evening, I imagine it would be magical. The string lights and quiet neighborhood would create a perfect, romantic atmosphere—ideal for date night or a special occasion. If you’re looking for a low-key, charming spot in the city with great ambiance and a reliable menu, Hudson Clearwater is a great choice.
