Hudson & Nash

I recently had dinner at Hudson & Nash and overall, the experience was a mix of highlights and a few disappointments. First, the positives — the food was absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared and flavorful. The ambiance of the restaurant is also beautiful, with a modern and upscale design that fits perfectly with the Hilton brand. However, my experience with the service left something to be desired. I’m currently dealing with a voice issue and can only speak softly. When I tried to ask the waiter a few questions, I felt he was rushed and lacked the patience I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Given the setting, I would have appreciated a bit more attentiveness and understanding. All in all, Hudson & Nash has a lot of potential with its excellent food and beautiful setting, but the service experience didn’t quite match the level I was expecting. I’d return for the food, hoping for a more welcoming and accommodating experience next time.

I'll start by saying I hate Hilton and refuse to stay at their properties. But, I love this restaurant! It is beautiful and gets tons of natural light inside no need to sit on the patio. The big difference is Ive had some of the best service here. Service is notoriously spotty in a tourist town like San Diego The holiday buffets are wonderful. Great food, I loved the charcuterie and holiday experience. Afterwards you can walk around the hotel or outside on the waterfront. And yes they validate parking.

Foods not real traditional Italian food's.price is little expensive for small potions. Small place. Good service. Food tastes just ok. I was looking for more traditional Italian favorites.

We had breakfast at Hudson & Nash during our stay at the Hilton Bayfront, and it was a great way to start the day. The Eggs Benedict and Egg Sandwich were both delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The location is super convenient if you're staying at the hotel, with beautiful bayfront views and a relaxed, modern ambiance. It’s spot that is perfect and convenient for a leisurely morning if you are staying here. Overall, solid food, great location.

Had breakfast here our first morning and was a little disappointed - the toast in my eggs Benedict was too burnt for my taste, and the Hollandaise was curiously unflavored, didn't discern a trace of citrus. My husband was equally disappointed - his chilaquiles were soggy and tasted overwhelmingly of cilantro and lime. Everyone has an off day, and maybe this was one of theirs. Service was excellent, fast and friendly. There were so many choices for breakfast places in the area that we didn't return to Hudson & Nash, but I'd definitely give them a second chance the next time I stay at the hotel.

I had expected better from this beautiful property with spectacular bayside views. My experience overall left much to be desired. The highlight was that the bartender was friendly and seemed to understand a higher level of service. I placed my order for Vodka soda cocktail, which was poured lightly. I should have tasted the vodka, but I can live with weak drinks. I found one of my favorite breakfast items on the menu, chilquilies. Being so close to Mexico with a heavy Hispanic cultural influence I figured it was a safe option. I struggled to get through the dish and asked for hot sauce to help with the flavor profile. The green chilies flavor was super acidic and tart. I gave the bartender my notes and they said they would let the chef know. Also I was hoping they would remove the item from the bill because I had managed to eat about 20% of the served portion. I received my bill and was shocked to see they had added a 20% gratuity, as well I quickly learned there is a 5% surcharge. I'm accustomed to excellent service and food from the Hilton Resort brand. Never going back...

Food was good. But not worth the price. Orange juice was not fresh, again for the price I had much higher expectations. Sat for 10 before someone took my order. Another 20 after getting my food before I asked for another drink. And then another 15-20 min of not touching my plate for me to wave someone down to get the check. Overall very subpar.

This place has some seriously delicious food, you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere is just right, not too loud and not too quiet. It's got a great energy that makes you feel comfortable. I can't wait to go back again soon. Definitely add this spot to your list of must-try restaurants.

Came into this restaurant before a concert at the shell. A great place to eat and very close to the venue! Our server Lucas gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. Food was amazing!

Late lunch on a Wednesday for three. The Hostess was missing, so we stood at the front for about 10 minutes or so. The Server saw us and came over to get us seated. He was friendly and very apologetic for the delay. Service was a little slow, but super friendly. I ordered the beer flight, I recommend! The food was good, friendly service and great views. I recommend.

WAY overpriced. The food was luke warm and the avocado toast was the worst i have ever had...more like old guacamole on top of nondescript bread with random picked toppings. They include 20% gratuity in the bill, so they must be aware of their dismal service and food quality. There are many, many other restaurants in San Diego. Skip this one, even if you're staying the hotel. Not worth it.

I really enjoyed my fish sandwich and there was a good assortment of options. The mocktails were too sweet, colorful but not super drinkable. Nice sunny seating available and the folks working there were kind.

Have not been to San Diego in a year. Oh times have changed. Surcharge in 2 restaurants so far. Let's see how this works out.

Server was awesome and knows the menu well even more than the menu itself! She clarified the "creamy quinoa" is not at all creamy and that they plan on reprinting the menu. Burger and fries were being served at the table next to us but was no where on the menu. The chicken breast dish, in fact was not just chicken breast! It was a quarter of a breast with the drumette attached (ie dark meat). I don't recommend the chicken dish, as the chicken to giant bean ratio was 1:1. Food was underwhelming. We should have ordered the secret menu item of burger and fries. Elegant restaurant with great views.

Please take a good look at the chicken. It's uncooked and obv raw. We didn't even want to blame on them or say anything bad. The only thing we said were, ' Excuse me, the chicken was raw.' Our waitress took it back the kitchen. The manager came out. She spoke confidently, ' Our chef is not going to send out unchecked food and they are cooked. It's just certain part of the chicken is pink.' Cmon! If you did something wrong, just admit it. We are not difficult people. Even after I confronted her with the picture, she still responded with an attitude, ' Again, our chef will not send out the food that's not cooked. But I'll take that order off the bill and talk to the kitchen.' Good job manager! You certainly are the face of the Hilton hotel and Hudson & Nash restaurant! Shame!

The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel. Lovely views of San Diego Bay and also has outdoor patio Seating. Came here several days for breakfast during the conference. They have a nice selection of breakfast items but are definitely on the more pricey end, at about $20-30 per person. They charge 18% gratuity and 4% for increased wages. The waiter provided good service. The food was meh. Please do not waste your hard-earned money eating here.

We arrived and were greeted promptly and with a smile. The table they chose for us was lovely but had full sun. We asked for another table and - no problem. A perfect table was found. We had the fried Brussels Sprouts and Tuna Poke for appetizers. The poke was 10 out of 10. The Brussels were literally sitting in some oily sauce so many of them were inedible. Just too greasy. For dinner we had the Nashville hot chicken with no bun and the bolognase. The bolognase is plant based and is super yummy. The Nashville chicken Was ok. I had it without the bun on purpose and the presentation was really well done. The chicken was however was hammered. Thin, dry, and tasteless. The fries were amazing. Our server was solid but we had to ask for more iced tea three times which seemed odd in a place like this. Overall a delight and we would go back. Stay away from the Brussels sprouts and the Nashville chicken. Truly not worth it. The poke, however, is beyond amazing. The place was very clean and one thing I always check is the sugar bowl. If it is clean they pay attention to the details and this one was clean. Score big points.

Calamari - yessss! So good! Fresh, perfectly seasoned and crunchy! Must get!! Bulgogi noodle salad- loved this too! Cold thin noodles with julienne crunchy veggies with thinly sliced bulgogi beef. Didn't realize this was inside the hotel. Just wanted something near the water. Good choice for a light lunch! Afterwards, took a nice stroll towards Seaport Village. Our server was friendly, but she forgot to check on us. Luckily we weren't in a hurry to get somewhere. Just enjoyed our food and the view.

Amazing Sunday afternoon for lunch! Great service by Daniel! The food was amazing! Fresh calamari and the crispiness and we ordered the fish sandwich and chicken sandwich!! So delicious! Hot and tasty! We ordered Mai tum (whoaaaaaaa so good and they have a NICE amount of alcohol) and the margarita Sandia! Would definitely recommend and come back! The ambiance, vibe, and customer service from everyone including the lady at the host table was so pleasant and friendly!

Stayed at the Hilton and went down for brunch. We got seated quickly but service was really slow. Took a long time to get water and over 30 minutes to get our sandwiches and salad. We ordered two BLTA. The bacon was nice and crisp. Sandwich was yummy too bad took too long. We also had a Cesar salad. Was ok. And had kids grilled cheese and Mac and cheese. Kids loved it. Fries were great. Aside from waiting for food for so long, it will ruin a good meal. The restaurant was nice and not too packed. TVs on with various football games and nice view of water

I've been here 3 times now! They are located inside the Hilton and validate parking for up to 3 hours. The first time (back in August) was okay, but the next couple of times, the service and food was way better! On my first visit, I got the Hudson punch and hubby got the margarita sandia. The drinks were pretty and refreshing! For apps, we shared the mussels Marzano, big eye tuna poke, and the spinach artichoke dip. Everything was pretty good, but the poke wasn't very fresh to me. For our main entrees, I got the Kurobuta pork bao buns and hubby opted for the flat-iron and bone marrow. The presentation for the bao buns was a deconstructed one, so you build it yourself. It was a fusion of banh mi, so there were pickled daikon and carrots, mayo, and jalapenos, etc. It was fun to build and very enjoyable. Hubby liked his steak, so no complaints there. For dessert, we went with the Mexican panna cotta! It was delightful. The second time (in December) we went was for brunch! We started with the Berry Breeze and Morning Dove, which are both free spirits. Both drinks were so yummy. We shared the Convoy wings, pozole, old school Reuben, and a carnitas torta. Everything came out pretty fast! The pozole was enough for just one person, so we ordered another one for me. Everything we got was delicious! For our main entrees, I got the roasted branzino and he opted for the Banker's Hill flat-iron. Entrees took about 40 minutes, so good thing we weren't in a rush. Hubby asked for medium-rare steak, but it was well done. They refired his dish, so it was cooked perfectly afterwards. My branzino was light and citrusy. I saved room for dessert and got the Nutella divine. This dessert was rich and chocolatey. Hubby got a cup of espresso as well. This was such a great brunch! My third time here was recently after work. My friend got a cocktail and I opted for the Morning Dove this time. It was so refreshing! It's probably my favorite drink here, but all of their mocktails are good. We started with the organic blue masa bread and it came out in a skillet with lavender honey butter and sea salt. This combination was really good. We decided to try their Hokkaido dayboat scallops, which is available for a limited time. This dish was cooked perfectly! The Point Loma octopus was okay to me. We needed some carbs and ordered the bucatini bolognese. This dish is usually the same everywhere, but I was surprised that I really liked this one! They added crushed San Marzano tomatoes on top, so it had a nice crunchy texture. The beef cheeks were so flavorful and tender. Service was great as well- we were checked up on often. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

This is a bar/restaurant in the Hilton Hotel. The bar part is pretty good, though it closes early. The food part is also pretty good. We had lunch here and the food was fine. It was very expensive for what we got, but it tasted fine. $60 for a caesar salad and an Impossible Burger is quite a high price. The place was very busy at lunch and the servers did a good job. They kept everything moving and were a bright spot. The space is open and well lit. I'm perfectly fine spending money on quality, This just did not meet the level of quality for the price. So how do you judge this? A nice space with good service that has a ridiculously high cost? I can't go over 3 stars for this.

The food was delicious, but our server was not so fantastic. It felt like we were a colossal inconvenience from ordering to the end of our meal. Then he was upset when we wanted to pay with credit cards instead of charging it to a room I guess? His section was sort of getting slammed, so I understand getting flustered, but still, it wasn't a nice experience. Also my bag of tea was $8. $8 for a one use bag of tea and some hot water. Insane. But the food was delicious, so there's at least that.

Big portions of food, I shared eggs and sausage with my partner and we were full. The bartender made me a very pretty mimosa and the flower is edible! View of the bay right out the windows so it's a good spot almost anywhere you sit and you can enjoy that view. Friendly and fast service with a nice variety of beers.

This was a great place. The ambience by the water was casual and very picturesque. The food was savory . The drinks were delicious. The server was customer friendly and attentive.

Hudson & Nash feels like a restaurant created by AI. Hip name, waterfront location, tempting website. In reality, the environment is cold and noisy, the ambience is zero, The waitstaff was unfriendly with a depressed vibe knowing their jobs ended up here. There was no bread only an experience clearly designed for hotel efficiency and the idea that you probably won't come here twice. The food was overpriced hotel food and the desert was unpalatable. To cap off the night, the parking was expensive. This was maybe the worst dining experience that I've had as a local in San Diego.

Wow, wow, wow. Great food with a fantastic view awaits at this casual and lively restaurant. The avocado toast is a satisfying and delicious option but if you're craving sweet and delectable then the cinnamon sticky buns are a winning option. The view of San Diego bay can be had from many seats within the restaurant. Our server was attentive and pleasant. I would highly recommend a visit to Hudson & Nash for any meal of the day!

Very pretty restaurant with a nice view. Balboa botanical was such a refreshing cocktail! Both of the appetizers, big eye tuna poke and salt & vinegar calamari, were delicious. Both flat breads were pretty good, but I prefer funghi over Little Italy (basically pizza). Had a great time catching up with folks!

It's a great location in a beautiful hotel but there are far better choices in the Gas Lamp district and places with even better views scattered around the bay. The prices are high but typical for a hotel of this caliber. Portion sizes are large. The downfall here was the service. It was very slow and the restaurant wasn't crowded. I attribute this to being understaffed. I had the BLT and it was good but again, nothing really won me over during my visit.

Great service and great food. Their BLT sandwich was so good. Bartenders were great people to talk to during some morning College Football!

The side salad, the steak and dessert were just perfection to my stay cation before returning to work on Monday. The Hilton Bayfront has stunning night views too. Worth my trip.

What happened to this place?! We used to love to come here, great food, beautiful view... Menu has changed so did the quality of the food... We ordered tortilla soup, it was so spicy and it tasted like hot sauce. Fries were greasy and rubbery. Coffee was watered down... Very sad...

We stayed at the Hilton bay front so this was part of the hotel. We had credits during our stay so we stopped by Hudson & Nash for breakfast. We ordered the avocado toast and the chilaquiles. Both dishes were rather bland. Nothing great. I liked that the avocado toast was a huge portion. The restaurant overlooks the industrial part of the promenade, which is a little further out from the seaport, which is a short walk about 15 mins. Would've skipped this restaurant if it wasn't for our credits.

Open bright atmosphere. Too bad we couldn't get served out in the patio seating since there was a strike going on and they didn't want the staff to get harassed. It's a full service bar but couldn't order any drinks besides beer or wine since there was no bartender available. Come on it's a Saturday. To top it off, there's a 4% surcharge. Service was eh. Staff should be more attentive. Worst part is that the busser was sweeping with a broom while patrons were dining. The sound of flying dust.

Delicious and comfortable. Nice view and good cocktails. My son liked the Mac n cheese.

Usually hotel restaurant food is not good but the food here is delicious and fresh. It is super expensive but it's a beautiful restaurant and the servers are very nice! I tried the bulgogi noodle which was refreshing and I had the strawberry shortcake for dinner which was so creamy. I would definitely return.

Located in the bottom level of the Hilton by the Gaslamp/convention center, a nicely decorated cozy hotel restaurant/bar with a decent selection of food/drink. Can sometimes get crowded with challenging wait times when large conferences all let out at the same time and everyone wants to grab a drink. Servers are otherwise friendly and are trying their best. It's difficult to have 100+ people swarming the bar in 20-30 minutes. Beer selection decent. Prices are a bit high/expensive, but probably something similar to what you'd expect in a hotel bar.

Mid. - Jidori chicken: salty, chicken was between not juicy but also not dry. Not a fan of the sauce, it gave BBQ - Mussels: probably my fave. Everything paired well together- the sauce, mussels, and lavash bread! - Calamari: so oily? - Bucatini: so confused as to why there was dill on top? It normally has basil? Has a slight kick. I thought it was bland, but my 6 year old really liked it. - Cobb salad: pretty good, exactly what you'd expect - Branzino: nothing out of the ordinary. Sauces and pairings were... just not what I expected. Service was alright. There were only two servers when we came. So it got a little hectic considering it was during a dinner rush and it was a really big space. Understandable service for the amount of people working, but please get more servers!

The restaurant is located inside the Hilton close to their swimming pool. It just opened up last year, so it has a clean and welcoming look to it. I stayed at the Hilton and ate there twice, dinner and breakfast. We had dinner at the bar and was served right away. We had calamari, New York steak and Julian Apple old fashion. Calamari was great, I love that it had the crispy tentacles. The New York was cooked perfectly. Julian Apple old fashion was tasty and balanced. For breakfast, we were sat immediately but service was super slow. I got the smoked salmon toast which was delicious but messy. The toast itself was really thick and with the toppings it made it hard to bite. I had coffee and had to waive down to get refills and it took a while. The waitress was kind enough to offer a fresh coffee to go.

Great place to grab an ice cold draft with a beautiful view of the harbor. Staff is awesome and very attentive. Will definitely be back soon!

After a long day on the convention floor, the hotel restaurant can bring you back! Jo smiled when I walked in and directed me to Travis at the bar, who welcomed me with enthusiasm and prompt service! Daniel continued the stellar experience, not to mention the fantastic eats & attention paid each of the guests. Probably my best hotel bar experience ever!

Simple | Game-Day | Chicken Wings Simple - overall, their setup is easy. Being inside the Hilton hotel on the first floor, the ability to get in and out and reserve a table by calling down makes the reservation process very simple. Game Day - the place is good to watch a game if you get a seat at the bar. They have 5+ TV screens above the bar, making it easy to see the game from multiple seats. The place also has great natural lighting. So, if you want to be somewhere that has warmth and nice coastal decor - this is a great spot. Chicken Wings - I had Chicken Wings and breakfast potatoes. The chicken wings had a bit of spice to them but were not overwhelming. They had a great crispy glaze and were a great mid-day snack to hold me over after a long day at the conference. The breakfast potatoes had solid pepper flavoring. They had a sufficient amount of salt that made them enjoyable. I recommend both. Why not five stars? - Given the amount of amazing food in the area, it isn't special. It is a solid restaurant. But, you could easily find other options at better price/quality pricepoints within a 10-minute walk. Pro Tip - not a lot of parking outside of the Hilton parking, therefore, you should give yourself more time if you are meeting someone there.

Our little family is too spoiled with top notch hospitality service from all the traveling we do every month. I must say this is one of the freshest menu items we've had so far. It's our second day but our first eating inside the hotel and WOW! From the salad to the main dishes, everything this delicately plated, seasoned to perfection and delicious. Thank you to the staff for sharing your suggestions and for providing excellent service. We recommend: Shrimp Cobb salad, sea bass in green pozole, blue corn bread, NY steak and any and all the current seasonal cocktails!

Stopped in for dinner. They require reservations as it fills up. Location is exceptional with views of the bay. They asked us for inside or out, we said outside was fine if they have heaters. They do but they were not close to us, so we put on our jackets. Service was great. We ordered the octopus, fresh corn bread, pork chop and beef cheeks. Extremely long wait between the appetizers and dinner. Waiter said kitchen was having an oven problem? It happens....pork chop was dry but everything else delicious. We would give them another try, to see if the experience could be elevated.

A little pricey for breakfast entrees (about $26) but that's what you get for a restaurant in the Hilton! The food was fine. We all got omelettes and coffee. Nice view. Ask to be seated near the back part of restaurant so you can see the water. Restaurant validates which is great since parking is expensive at the structure attached to the hotel.

All of the one star reviews have to do with the poor service. I actually found the server to be delightful. The food, my god, the food, is actually the worst food I've ever had. The calamari is awful. Undercooked and the batter is terrible. The chicken Caesar salad is worse than anything I've ever had at Taco Bell, except it cost $35. Stay away from this place. Go to any other place. Drive to Mexico. You're better off eating at McDonalds.

My coworkers and I stopped by Hudson & Nash twice in one day as it was conveniently located in the conference building where we were attending a large medical meeting. Beyond arriving, we were quickly seated. During lunch, you seat yourself with no waiting service. During dinner, you get a waiter. Lunch - I ordered the double smashed burger and my coworkers got the calamari and the clam chowder. I really liked my meal but I don't think my coworkers enjoyed their food nearly as much. Dinner - we came back with a larger group and more food and drinks. I got the Blue Bayfront (super tasty!) and my coworker got the Margarita Sandia (also super good!). I ordered the same burger and my coworkers got the spinach artichoke dip, Thai chicken wings, and kurobuta pork bao buns. I got to taste the Thai chicken wings - a little spicy but so yummy - and the pork bao buns - the meat was so tender! Lowkey kinda upset that I didn't ordered the bao buns or the wings. For the hotel restaurant, Hudson & Nash was really good and would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Awful food, bland at best, terrible service. Made us wait 40 mins for a restaurant that is 70% empty! and of course the 24% tip is included. I have no problem with the tip, it's just the whole restaurant is just so bad. I wish i could give zero stars!

Melanie the hostess is amazing. I come every year and she is always happy, helpful & friendly Jorge has been my server for a couple years and never disappoints. On top of the table and impeccable server

Pretty good food for being inside a hotel. Beautiful view of the water from a few of their seats (inside and outside). Cali burrito was really good. Doesn't have great coffee options. Gets busy since it's at the hotel but if you go around 7/8am you're able to get in without a wait.

Looking for a date night spot? This is the place to go! Dishes we ordered - Mussels - Rock crab deviled eggs - Thai chicken wings - Flat iron & bone marrow - Roasted branzino - Mexican panna cotta - Peach crumble Their flat-iron steak was so flavorful and cooked well along with the asparagus. The Thai chicken wings was to die for! Definitely my favorite!! Reasonable portions. Overall a good value. The staff is very courteous and prompt with service. This place is great for date night, girls night out, or just a meetup with friends. Go and sit in their outdoor patio and you can see the amazing views of the bay. Overall, we enjoyed our food and definitely will be back!

I was expecting regular hotel food. The Ruben impressed me! I've had many Ruben's and this had almost a grilled cheese feel with seasoning on the bread. Cheese was melted perfectly on the corned beef. Sauerkraut ratio was also great and not pouring out of the sandwich. Fries are made from scratch and also had a crunch - which I really look for in fries! This dish was served with ranch, bbq, and ketchup. It's nice to have a place that gives you multiple dipping sauces. Service was great at the bar... I can't speak for a table. Ambiance was grand, modern, and clean. Only 4 stars due to the sandwich being $22 and Blue Moon at $10 a piece (talk about a mark up on the alcohol ) I would not travel out of my way to come here due to so many other options in the Gaslamp district... but if you are staying in this hotel absolutely!

Last night I attended an event on the patio space and the food was so good I kept going back for more. Specifically the calamari was a great combination with the salt and vinegar. The shroomer was a tasty pizza with a sweet hint. Staff was lovely and the service was very quick!

This is my husband's and my place to-go every week when we get a date night out - the food, service, and hospitality are always top-of-the-line consistent, fresh, and personable. Food is always creative, thoughtful, and homey. And Travis is our favorite bartender - very intentional, friendly, professional, and welcoming whenever we see him. We will always recommend this place to everyone who is looking for high quality, but with a personal touch, and always look forward to coming here every week for all the things we love...!

Hudson & Nash is basically the Hilton San Diego restaurant, so breakfast, lunch and dinner/bar are served in the same place. They have big screens on showing sports. Most of the guests are business people or usually when there's an expo, the attendees will eat/drink here. Very few families. In any case, servers and hosts are kind. We were here for breakfast and everything was fresh and good. Chilaquiles with ONE egg, the open sandwich with avocado, lox with cheese served with potatoes was delicious. They also have kids menu for breakfast (wets, pancakes, cereal, fruit bowls) Oh! And of course, they have non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks for breakfast.

Huge place at Hilton Bay Front. San Diego. We've been at Comic Con San Diego 2023, stayed at Hilton and ate a few times at Hudson & Nash. Calamaris fried, pizza and pasta all good. IPA was super! Other times I had pizza and clam chowder which was good . Location is by the water! Though it was not fancy ocean view restaurant but pricy. There was no other quick bite places between Hilton and Convention Center. Except Starbucks with super long lines all the time..

I enjoyed my meal both times that i ate here. I really like the seasoning of the french fries. The fish sandwich was great as well
