The staff was so wonderful and clearly really happy. The food was amazing and service was flawless. We had a ~beautifully~ cooked steak and a fresh and zesty endive salad. The desserts are to die for. Great wine selection. 10/10, felt so welcomed and cared for. Thank you!

The best meal I’ve had in a long time. Great drinks and perfect Prime Rib. The skate cheeks and mushrooms were huge standouts as well.

(2025 Dec) Love this place. Service staff was v friendly. Had a few drinks and had the apple cider crème brûlée (was here with my son). Was good. Met some frequent customer one of whom was a volunteer firefighter who had work in the same spot (it was an old fire station). Showed us the tire marks. There you go - history and good company and friendly staff - all you need in a good bar. There was a 21st birthday party and the crowd swoon in at 9 - just as the lovely lady bartender promised. 😄

Absolutely outstanding. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The steak was cooked perfectly and everything from the salad to the sides were great. We celebrated my birthday and the team did so much to make sure everything was special. Will be returning!

We were so impressed by Saint Florian - highly recommend! The meatloaf and steak with fries made the perfect meal on a cold, snowy night. The waiter and bartender were both so welcoming and friendly throughout our meal. Would definitely add to your list when in Hudson :)

We held a family dinner at Saint Florian for my mother's 90th birthday. Most of the group were hardened NYers with high expectations. Rob helped us reserve a private room and pick a menu including drinks and wine. We wanted to get this right for a special birthday and accomplished this objective. Thanks Rob and crew.

Had lunch for the second time last week here. Saint Florian is one of the truest examples of a "neighborhood gem" that my wife and I have ever stumbled upon. Absolutely perfect place for lunch with a great atmosphere, well crafted cocktails, and even more expertly executed food offerings both savory and sweet. Already planning two more meals here next month, one lunch and one dinner upstairs. Still thinking about their signature burger, clarified cosmo cocktail, the warm chocolate tart as well as the peach + sumac ice cream! The restaurant also offers up happy hour and late night deals as well as some nightly dinner specials on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Headed to Saint Florian with my husband. He got the 32oz porterhouse; cooked to PERFECT medium rare. The Caesar salad - impeccable. I had the Branzino; flawless. Highly recommend the creamed spinach. Thank you to the Saint Florian team for the hospitality! We will be back soon.

The best part of our dinner was the bone marrow and creamed spinach. If you're a fan, these are must tries. However, the battered cod was okay, very fried and missing seasoning. We also got a hanger steak ordered medium, the middle/thickest slice was blue raw and smelled like raw meat. Its understandable due to its shape it may be a bit undercooked in the center, but I do think the chef should understand that meat should be cooked until the thickest most piece reaches a certain temperature, which in this case it clearly did not. The buttered sauce it came with was delicious though. One last thing, the fries were extremely salty, after one or two I was done. Wait staff and bartender were very nice and friendly.

Not what we expected from the pictures we saw online. The burger was thin and small. No lettuces, tomatoes, fries. It’s like what you would get from the kid’s menu. We told the server our opinion and she said we could have ordered fixings on the side. Perhaps dinner menu would be better, I hope?

The food was delicious and the server was very nice but they were out of 4 menu items (including something we had already ordered). The server also forgot our drinks twice, and remembered once our food was already out.

I’ve been dining at Saint Florian since they opened and have watched the restaurant evolve over time. It’s only fair to let a new restaurant figure itself out before writing a review. I also don’t think it’s necessary to write a review for every single experience, but this experience kind of really stuck with me. I was celebrating my birthday and really wanted a steak, and with limited options in Hudson I was curious to see their steak game as I never tried before. The first thing that struck me was the prices, they have seemed to creep up considerably over time since they opened, however, the quality of the food has not changed. The next thing was that I was with my family and there were no kid friendly options anymore as the burger is now lunch or happy hour only. This is a huge miss seeing as how there are so many kids in Hudson. We don’t like being high maintenance but asked if they could do the burger since happy hour just ended a few minutes prior. The server (who was great BTW!) said ‘the chef has strict rules on menu changes’ and said he couldn’t even ask. Ok, fine, we got the mac and cheese instead. It was $21 for dry cavatappi that appeared to be premade and reheated as it had an off putting refrigerator odor. We asked to make sure there were nothing on the top (little kids don’t like green stuff!) but the server regretfully said they can’t make any changes. This is a weird red flag. I tried to order the hanger steak but with the bearnaise on the side, and was told there could not be any changes so I ordered the $68 18oz ribeye which I was happy to see was not bone-in as nobody likes paying for bone weight. Unfortunately the ribeye was much tougher than it should have been and seemed like it was either cooked from cold holding or had been frozen and improperly thawed. Super disappointing for a $68 steak, especially knowing that it wasn’t high quality locally sourced meat to start with. We (tried) to order the Waldorf Salad, but they wouldn’t do the gorgonzola on the side (this is pretty insane). The self seriousness of this place was really starting to annoy me, as every great steak house in NYC is HAPPY to make minor changes for a superior guest experience, this is what makes a great steak house. Instead we got the simple salad which was fine for mixed greens at $16 but the dressing was not emulsified and was too oily. The Whole Branzino had a char/gas note to it and was slightly over cooked. $42 for a smallish fish with no sides or additions looked a little sad on the plate. Still hungry. We ordered three sets of fries because the food was starting to fail the group and the fries are just ok, but filling, but could be much crisper. Cocktails and drinks were good, wine list has vastly improved over time. Service was very nice and competent but it seemed like they couldn’t do their job as well as they could because they were forced to say no to so many simple requests. We ended up ordering less drinks and no dessert because we wanted to go get ice cream because we were still hungry. Disappointing enough to not come back. Note to ownership: stop taking yourself soooo serious, Hudson needs a great local elevated tavern with a very similar menu but with more appropriate prices for the quality of the product. And seriously consider removing ‘no’ from the service lexicon. You had it right in the beginning.

Well I rarely rate a place this low. For starters I came at 4:30ish on a cold windy day and there was no soup until 5pm so for 30 minutes the customer couldn’t be pleased. I felt in comparison to other places like the 4k restaurants that I have made reviews of on my social media it was not a fair priced “portion to price ratio”. Chicken and fries are under 10 bucks for most kids meals 15 the max. The Diet Coke was flat and when I told my waiter he tried to fix it at least but, I chose not to continue because at this point my experience was going down hill. Sometimes you’re better going to a small hole in the wall and the food is better. As for the rest of the meal no bread and butter while you wait for your food. The waiter pushed a glass of wine when explained if no specific red was available then a soda would be ok. But people make mistakes sometimes so It’s ok. Honestly as 36 year veteran cooking and owning a restaurant I know what is fair and what customers want. I could contribute more about my experience or post a video but I don’t see the further need to explain that this is one of those places where you don’t want to go.

This place is not worth the money. Some of the food we ordered was tasty, but the portions were very small. The appetizer was a skimpy amount, and my vegetarian hash was a pitiful amount. It looked like an appetizer. When I asked if I could have bread to accompany my meal, the waiter told me "We don't have table bread" and asked if I wanted to order something else. No. But my husband didn't like his overpriced fish and chips, so I ate part of it. As we exited I told waiter guy that the prices were too high for these small portions and he didn't apologize. He actually seemed arrogant. I dont recommend this place.

The food didn’t taste bad but the portions were tiny for such an expensive meal. One person I ate with ordered a cold brew and the waiter came back with hot coffee 💀 They didn’t have bread at the table which is weird especially for a restaurant that charges so much money for their meals. The waiter was ditzy and rude and didn’t apologize when we questioned why the portion size was so small. We were polite about it too, but the waiter wasn’t. I don’t know why this place is highly rated online. They also didn’t have any non dairy milk option if someone were to order coffee. 95% of restaurants always have at least one non dairy milk option; it’s 2025…… For a place with such a high rating and expensive meals, I expected better portion sizes and friendlier atmosphere and wait staff.

Rudeness at the intake turned out to be a blessing because we didn't actually eat there. My partner, my service dog snd I were "greeted" by a fellow whose first words were "Only service dogs allowed." When I showed him my dog's documentation, he gave me an incredulous look and asked the one question the A.D.A allows: What service does your dog perform?" I explained, and he questioned me further, so I said, "You've had your one question." He said to wait. Another gentleman came over and said, "No dogs inside," and I told him that we had already had this discussion. He said "Good, then you know you can't bring the dog in." I explained again about the service dog.He then asked me, "What service does your dog perform," and I answered again. He told us we'd have to wait for a table. While he was discussing seating options with a foursome who'd come in after us, my companion said, "I don't want to eat here," and we left. I've been disabled thirty years, and this is only the second time I have been treated this rudely. Congratulations, "Saint" Florian.

I'm sure this place is lovely - the vibes and food look incredible. We were super excited to dine here, but due to a family issue, I had to cancel my reservation - and cancelled 34 hours in advance - they do not list their reservation policy on the restaurant's website. I was charged $180.00 for a dinner, that I never had. I reached out to the restaurant to explain the situation and was met with the most condescending manager who acted like I was a complete idiot and refused to do anything about it... I was told that I was disrespectful to small businesses and he acted like I personally aggrieved them (meanwhile, this isn't a hard spot to get a reservation - the open tables are not short in supply). The standard across NY is 24hrs in advance avoids a charge.. so to be so hateful about it is kinda crazy. Being rude and condescending about the whole process has ruined my appetite to ever dine here.
