Nothing beats a waterfront view along New Jersey’s Gold Coast, a roughly 20-mile stretch from Fort Lee to Bayonne. It’s no secret these spectacular sights are best taken in with a magnificent meal.
Located on 2nd Street in Jersey City’s Harborside, this 12,000-square-foot space is hard to miss with wide-open floor-to-ceiling windows where my company celebrated last night a milestone anniversary overlooking NYC even though the sky began grey but ended the festivity with a spectacular treat of the shimmering skyline.
Upon entering Hudson & Co. as first-timers, my colleague and I were greeted by the host and struck by its nautically themed vibe with basket-weave floor tiles, suspended oversized coffers, hammered copper wall insets, wrought iron Revolutionary War beam chandeliers, and steampunk lighting.
The establishment offers fantastic views, no matter where one sits—inside or outside.
Their menu is simple, eclectic, and heavily skewed towards seafood, with gastropub-centered choices such as from Sushi, Grilled Spanish Octopus, Smoked Brûlée Burrata and Mac & Cheese as appetizers and Mediterranean Sea Bass, Seafood Chitarra, Young Pressed Chicken, Braised Short Ribs, and NY Strip Steak & Frites for the main meal. Dessert was featured with Crème Brûlée, Molten Lava Cake or Gelato Trio.
Our meal was absolutely delicious, where the flavors were rich, cooked to perfection, and the portion size was generous.
Our server, Evelyn, and the staff were absolutely fantastic, informative, and attentive to our table.
Special thanks to the general manager, Roman, as every detail was thought of, and it made for one of the most memorable celebrations we've ever had, which we can recommend.
