As we continue to re-review our earlier Infatuation hits, we’ve generally found that excellent restaurants have mostly remained excellent and that the ones in the middle – the good ones – have had mixed results thanks to a litany of ownership, location, and chef change-ups. So it’s rare we find a good spot that’s gotten significantly better without a complete overhaul, but Hudson Clearwater has done just that.
Hudson Clearwater is largely the same restaurant that it was in our initial review in 2011. You still enter from a sort-of-hidden side door. Their quaint little patio is still romantic as f*ck. And their staff, while extremely friendly, still beg the age old #HomelessOrHipster question. But there’s one significant improvement that resulted in today’s upgraded rating – the menu. We could never get around some of the curveballs that this place threw at us in our early days of eating here, and we must not have been alone. It seems that Hudson Clearwater has turned down the funk a bit in favor of more appetizing things that don’t rely on weirdness to impress.
The other thing we initially disliked about this place – the crowd – has also improved. We don’t know where the UrbanDaddy bros have moved on to, but we’re betting it’s underground and has tequila on tap. Either way, Hudson Clearwater seems to have settled into a more mellow West Village crowd, and for that we’re thankful.
At the end of the day, we can now fully embrace Hudson Clearwater as one of the better restaurants in this part of town, especially during the summer months when their backyard is in full swing. What prompted the changes for the better? Don’t know. Don’t care.
More lamb ribs, please.
