Reviews for Red Dot Restaurant & Bar in Hudson, NY

If you want the authentic Hudson, come here. There?s simply nothing better. The people who don?t like this place are just high... maintenance, I?m sorry. Prices are higher because of inflation. If you want cheap, go to Burger King. The martini is like 14bucks but they give you a shaker on the side with more in it, so it?s a 7 dollar martini. If you?re nice, they?re nice. Lovelypeople, great food, stiff drinks. This place has withstood 20 years, and it keeps getting better. It?s the real deal Hudson,it?s not the bs new stuff. Beautiful interior too. Read more

Hostess wasn't very friendly, seemed stressed. Waitress was unhappy, and to top it off, they charge 3.5% for credit cards.... Haven't come across this before. $55.00 for burger and fish & chips, no alcohol! Read more

Really disappointing? very expensive for what we were actually served (recession sized?) I felt so bad for all the customers who... came in and were turned away, they weren?t even halfway out the door before the bar tender started cursing them out, makingfaces at their backs and mother f?ing anyone who came in inquiring to those who were sitting at the bar. This happened theentire time we were there. Real mood killer. The hours were a bit confusing (the restaurant closes a few hours in betweenlunch and dinner it seems) so it happened pretty often. For such an ?all are welcome here? front- the bartender had the actualmeanest attitude to be in customer service. The only high points were our waitress and the Bloody Mary. Don?t waste your timeyou will be cursed out behind your back. Saddest 15$ chicken sandwich we ever had lol. Too bad because the ambiance could bereally cool. Read more

Best brunch I have had in years! My friend, teenage son and I had brunch here in the Red Dot garden on a beautiful Saturday. ... Every dish was excellent! The eggs benedict on latkes was simply the best eggs benedict I have ever had. Every component ofthe dish was perfect...from the hollandaise on top to the perfectly cooked latkes on the bottom. The croque madam was alsodelicious and my friend was very pleased with it. My teenage son had the smoked salmon BLT and he gobbled down every bite in notime and said it was fantastic. Our bloody marys were also very good. I have been to a couple of brunch places in Hudson andthis is by far the best I have been to. I will be coming back when in the area. Don't hesitate to try. You won't regret it! Read more

Excellent food and excellent service! My beloved Maltese pup Ali even was treated to bacon! I highly recommend this restaurant

Showed up for a drink and we were greeted with service that was indifferent at best. The staff seemed somewhat annoyed that we... were there. There was very little available (e.g. no sprite or ginger ale as mixers), and the very simple drinks we ordered wereall over the place. The main reason we showed up was the garden patio, but we were told we could only sit on benches next to thedoor and not at the many empty tables on the patio because ?those are for the dinner service?. Only two tables had sat down bythe time we left. Read more

What a place! Down to earth. Beautiful garden seating with a Zen fountain and incredible plantings. It?s obvious the owner is... invested in providing a memorable dining experience. The menu is imaginative but not out of reach of regular Joe. The EggsBenedict over Latkas is scrumptious! The omelette of the day was flavorful and fluffy. The Caesar Salad is crisp with crunchyhomemade croutons and not overly dressed. Bloody Marys are spot on, enough spice zip and boozy enough. Will be back for sure.Would love to try their dinner.

The food was outstanding, the service was quick and efficient, and the garden was gorgeous! We randomly stumbled upon this place... while walking around hungry and were NOT disappointed! The chicken meal was incredible, the fish and chips were perfectlycrispy, and their calamari has ruined me from my local pizzeria?s calamari for life. All of the food tasted so fresh and wellseasoned. Honestly shocked reading the reviews here, because we had an amazing experience. Read more
