Discriminatory bartender! Unbelieveable! Isn't it the 21st century? – I was visiting a friend in Manhattan who lives in Harlem and she suggested we grab a drink at Hudson River Cafe on a Saturday night. I looked at their specialty cocktail menu and saw their signature mojito was made with Cruzan Rum. I am from St. Croix where the rum is made and hardly ever see it in the states so that is the only reason I even ordered the drink. After ordering, I watched the bartender make mine with BACARDI LIMON! I would have rather had a ... read more
Valet parking - on bike path! – This restaurant uses the bike path for valet parking. this is, of course, illegal, and it also obviously endangers bikers - that can be a pretty busy road at times. It's also dangerous for patrons getting out of cars, and for their cars - bikers forced to ride a narrow line between the illegally parked cars and roadway can often end up causing damage to the parked cars. If you see the valet stand out on the bike path, please don't go into the restaurant.
BOUNCE THE HOSTESS, KEEP KURT !! – Working in the area my girlfriend and I were excited about being able to get a couple drinks nearby after work. When we arrived at the HRC there was some sort of function going on and no one at the door had a clue asto wether we could still use the bar or not. The 1st question was if we had reservations, we had none and the guy was told by the hostess right away that if we did not have reservations we were not allowed in but when I stated that we did not want to eat just chill at the bar I ... read more
A large, lively patio and a diverse New American menu attract a gaggle of pretty people in far-west Harlem. – The Hudson River Café may lack views of the titular river, it does have its own version of dramatic scenery. The large two-story patio gets buzz not only from its stylish Harlem clientele and live bands, but also from the occasional Amtrak train whizzing by mere feet away. The eclectic menu delves into oceanic eating--seviche, a raw bar and a lobster roll--and more earthbound fare like skirt steak with yucca fries an... read more
Came and Went...Already – 4 months ago, during a nice stroll with my dog down 12th Ave...I noticed a new restaurant coming up next to Fairway. After a bit of research, I was thrilled to find out that finally there is a high end restaurant in Harlem about to open...that is there for no other reason than to cater to Harlemites. So...needless to say...when it opened, I went to check it out. Now just so you know, in my 20+ years living in NYC, I've been to many many high end restaurants...I've seen celebrity chefs and newbies, g... read more
Tasty food, entertaining bar scene, friendly and professional service – After nearly a dozen visits, the lovely two-story indoor/outdoor Hudson River Cafe continues to delight. I remain as impressed with the restaurant, the bar scene, and the staff as I was upon first coming. As for the food: While I have sampled and enjoyed a number of dishes there I am particularly fond of the barbeque shrimp, both of the paellas, and a great salad named after Iman, the Cafe's Uber charming and engaging manager. Every time I have visited t... read more
Tasty appeizers; disasterous main – I had a mixed experience. The ambience and the service was great; the eclectic crowd interesting. Crabcake and shrimp appetizers were quite tasty and at $10 fairly priced. My dinner partner and I shared the paella. It was a disaster. The rice was dry and the seafood was overcooked. Never again. Moreover, it was $34! Wine prices are ridiculous. They appear to be 3x retail, if not more. We sat in the patio area in front of the bar which is the most animated space and best for people watching... read more
Harlem finally has great and friendly staff – Although I have had many dining experiences in lower and upper manhattan, I had never before come across such a genuine friendly, and happy restaurant staff. I mean from the hostesses when you first walked in, who I might say are gorgeous, to the management staff who personally stops by your table to thank your visit to this incredibly amazing establishment. Yes, I will admit, the prices are higher than expected for what is on the menu, but the indoor and outdoor architecture alo... read more
GREAT FOOD, DRINKS AND LIVE MUSIC – So I went with a couple of friends to go and check out the Hudson River Cafe and it was great. The drinks and food were awesome. This is truelly a GEM in Harlem. They also had live musis the night I went and from what I learned they do play nightly jazz music....what a great ambiance!!! The crowd was very cool and I will definitely go back this time and enjoy the bar with my friends. If you cant make it for a drink at the bar please go for the food!! IIt was great and fresh!!! Maybe ill se... read more
