| - We were so so excited that a new restaurant option was going into Hudson, and when we heard it was going to be Southern Cooking we could hardly wait for it to open.
And then it did. And we went. And we were soooooo disappointed.
There wasn't much traditional southern food on the menu. It was hard to pick what to order because it just wasn't what we had in mind when we had our hearts set on "traditional" southern food. What bummed us out even more were the prices. So expensive! Why can't someone in Hudson open a decent restaurant that is a mid-price range instead of trying to be One Red Door/Rosewood Grill/Downtown 140 wannabes? This area is desperate for good food at a lower price point. We thought a good southern cooking place was going to deliver on this. We were let down.
Then the food came. It was OK. I wasn't all "wow! Now I get it" over the food.
Service was OK. But if you insist on being a high end restaurant then your service should match.
Hudson is known for its great restaurants. You can't just open something up, charge a lot, and expect to be successful.
If you are the owner/manager reading this, please reconsider your menu and price point. It's a great idea in theory and something completely different, which Hudson deparately needs. I promise you, if you do this, your place will be packed. There's and amazing New Orleans style restaurant in Denver called Lucille's. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. People will wait for hours with a line stretching down the street waiting to get in because the grits, biscuits and gravy, egg mash ups, beignets, fresh squeezed OJ etc are OFF the HOOK! The restaurant is nothing too fancy inside and it isn't excessively expensive to go. But it is top on our list of places to eat at whenever we visit Denver. Point is, it can be done.
