The Maker Restaurant

Beautiful atmosphere with delicious food. Gluten free and vegetarian options available. Our waiter was wonderful. When in Hudson, a nice place for dinner.

Ambiance is gorgeous (a hair too dark, but still beautiful), and service was impeccable and so warm and friendly on all counts. The risotto was absolutely delicious, and made the authentic way (no cream), it was so flavorful with the perfect texture. The asparagus was a let down; the grated yolk and speck/bacon don't actually adhere at all to the spears so it doesn't make a lot of sense, the flavor was okay but not wow. I like a crisp asparagus but these seemed nearly raw. That dish seemed very overpriced for what seemed pretty basic and blah, unfortunately. Was still worth it for all the other wonderful factors I mentioned. Getting in is confusing as there's not a clear way of finding the restaurant entrance as separate from the Cafe, and it offers a different, better menu than the Cafe, with gluten-free options where the Cafe has none. But once I was sat, I had a lovely experience and would recommend it. Just skip the asparagus and admire the elegant decor.
