Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked in advance for the 9 course tasting meal and it did not disappoint except perhaps for the asparagus! It was well balanced and can be held up high with many Michelin starred restaurants. The service was very good with each course well explained....We shared the wine paring as it would have been too much wine for us. The tables are well apart from each other. Enjoyed the amuse bouche too. Would recommend.More

Wonderful meal in Hudson’s last Friday evening. We were staying at the Grand and booked Hudson’s for our first night. Nine course taster menu and each course was a delight. Service was superb and wine list extensive. We also witnessed a proposal and acceptance of...an engagement it was lovely. Would highly recommend if visiting York and you can book if not staying at the hotel. Compliments to the chef and his team. Keep up the good work. We will go back.More

My partner I ate here and honest had a wonderful experience. Neither of us are connoisseurs of fine dining and the staff made sure we were well informed and able to enjoy a fine dining experience. Our waiter, Nicholas, was very attentive and informative and...we overall had a really good time! Our whole experience at the hotel has been a really great one but the dining was definitely a highlight for us!More

We ate at Hudson’s last night & was thoroughly impressed. Nicholas is a real credit to you. His passion, knowledge, love for his job & guest interaction is second to none. His ability to read guests is perfect knowing when to interact & when to...not. His wine pairings & recommendations were all well received. The entire experience was divine! The food was first class & meeting the chef really finished off the experience.More

My boyfriend and I have never had a tasting menu before but it was honestly so so so good. We had the 9 course with the wine pairing. The food was absolutely amazing. So much flavour and variety. The wine pairing was perfect too. Some...of the best flavours and textures I’ve ever eaten. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very intimate but so relaxing and exactly what we wanted from the experience. The staff were fantastic especially Nick. His way of reading each table to know exactly what they want from the dining experience was so clever and his knowledge of the food and drinks was so impressive and he was so friendly and charming. Would really recommend. My boyfriends took more photos than me but the few I have I’ll put up. A wonderful birthday treat.More

The nine course tasting menu was very good - not likely to pick up a star in the near future based on this visit, but not many people would leave disappointed. But what should have been a lovely romantic date night away from the kids...turned into an exercise in how not to do service: our cocky, know-it-all waiter just couldn't help himself but show off about the strangest things and it meant every interaction was through gritted teeth on our part. Claimed to have worked at The Grosvenor in Chester but thought the chef there was Sat Bains - nope! - and then went on to slag the place off anyway. Claimed to have chosen all the wines for the pairing despite only having been there four months, but didn't know that the house pour champagne had been changed from Perrier Jouet to Moet. Was quite happy to stand talking at us about his life while we were in the middle of one of the courses and please believe me when I say that we didn't give him any reason to think that we welcomed this... I'm getting annoyed just thinking about him. What a goon! I get the sense he doesn't tend to hang on to jobs for too long though, so perhaps this shouldn't put anyone off.More

Hudsons delivers the best dining experience available in York. Small, intimate restaurant located inside the Grand Hotel which is also open to non residents. Booking advisable particularly at week ends. It is a quality dining experience in every respect- decor, ambience, staff, service, wines and...outstanding food- both visually and taste. Two taster menus available 5 and 9 courses- both available with wine pairings. Food is amazing giving yiu the opportunity to taste things you may shy away from on an a la carte menu. Any dietry requirements can be accommodated and dishes can be substituted but obviously prior notice is required to do this. It is difficult to single out any particular course as a favourite. All were just wonderful and made uo fron top quality ingredients and presented extremely well visually. Unhurried service. Wonderful dining experience.More
