Hudson Malone

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, the service is phenomenal. Our waiter Steven recommended the pork chop which was the ultimate pork chop with a deep brown crust and juicy interior. Honestly the best I’ve even had, Hands down. Top notch will definitely recommend and revisit soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Kristen

Absolutely loved this place! my daughter and I were driving by and saw it and stopped and I am so glad we did! It was her 18th birthday and our server could not have been more incredible!!! She gave us fabulous menu and drink advice as well as ensured we were check in on many times! We will definitely be back!!!!

A bit over-hyped and over-priced, although that tends to be the case with most Fairfield County eateries, the food is good but nothing special. Service was choppy and lacking attention. The oysters were not shucked properly and had a lot of shell fragments inside. Hamburger and duck ragú pasta were average. The best picks were the steak tartare and the desserts.

Our waitress, Angelica, truly made our evening unforgettable. She was so much fun and brought such a warm, lively energy to our table that our night turned into much more than just a good dining experience—it was pure joy. Pair that with a beautiful, delicious meal, and it all added up to an evening we’ll remember fondly. Thank you, Angelica, for making it such a wonderful time!

Hudson Malone was an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the service was 5 stars! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

I stopped in at this restaurant for dinner. When I arrived I parked in the lot across the street. I walked in and was greeted by the great hostess Bea! The place is dimly lit, and Geanina was my server, and she was great! I ordered: Vodka martini Pesto Arancini di Palermo (rice balls with cheese and veggies) duck ragu Seafood lollipop Creme Brulee The food was really good and my favorite was the duck ragu dish! All in all, I had a great experience!

Literally one of the best places I’ve been at in a long long time. Everything about this place is absolutely magnificent! The music is very old school, the entire place reminds me of a cozy bar in NYC. The food is INCREDIBLE! I must say, if you come here I very much recommend the yogurt parfait and French toast for brunch! The servers are so kind and make jokes and it feels like such a loving environment! 10/10 can’t wait to come here more!! ❤️

To begin walking and hostess was very nice and showing us around for a first time experience around the restaurant. Once we sat down the servers bus boys and staff were exceptional to our great surprise. The food was just as great. We had the pleasure of having Jesus C taking care of as well as Carlos the busser we will definitely come back.

So my wife who can't pull off a surprise, surprised me with my birthday dinner here with two other couples. We arrived and had reservations 2 months back, but they seemed confused about it. After a few quick minutes, they led us to a dark booth meant for 4 and asked us 6 to squeeze in. They said they had no other tables so we decided to deal with it and check the menu out. Well, we tried. Take the uggo's here because there is zero light. Funny not funny, they actually stock mini flash lights to hand out when they see the whole table take out their phones. The manager, i assume, saw or tripped over a foot and said we will move you, you can't sit here. We were told a table was on desert so we decided to grab some drinks. WARNING: When you are at the restaurant and the prices are not printed on the cocktails, BUCKLE UP!!!! Now the food to change the subject. We had the bacon on the line that is fired at the table and it was superb!!!! The Ahi Tuna was also very tasty. My wife got the Cioppino and loved it! My steak Au poivre was cooked to perfection and the sauce was amazing. Could have tossed in a veggie, even some spinach would have been nice. So unbeknownst to me, my friend snuck to the bathroom and went to his car to bring in a cake for me. Well, the bill came and no cake. So he got up to ask and the waitress seemed annoyed and having gotten us to sign off, mentioned to him the problem no longer was hers. After some back and forth, they got the cake but we took it to go. The new busboy on his first night did an amazing job. Tough to pour water over a cramped and dark table into a glass on night 1. But he did a great job! Would go back to try some more food but would be cautious with every step

Was here twice. The first time, the experience and food was exceptional. The second time, not so much. Service was spotty and food was just average. Given the price point, food should be exceptional each time. Had the pork chops.

Food was delicious. Prolly some of the best food I've had in a while. The service was incredible. The staff was so nice and greeted us the second we walked in.

I came here for my uncle John/god father's birthday tonight. The service was attentive and helpful. They showed us the specials via black board as well as describing them to get a better idea. We started off with the clothes line bacon. They came over with a blowtorch and cooked the maple flavored bacon. It was thick cut and tender AMAAAAZING. My uncle is a bacon lover and it truly hit the spot for his birthday. For entrees we got duck ragu and a the filet. The filet was juicy and a perfect medium rare for me. The ragu had a bunch flavors somewhat masking the duck however it was just different but the whole plate for uncle was devoured so different but great! For dessert he got the soufflé which tasted super chocolaty with vanilla gelato. I got the west nice cheese cake which was very rich. They sang to my uncle happy birthday and gave a personalize birthday greeting card with his name hand written which was a great touch. The restaurant is cozy like up in a cabin but also gives that classic nyc vibe with all the old pop culture icons on the wall or art work from another area. The bathrooms also matched the main dinning areas vibes. The personalization and flavors can not be beat if we could give 10 stars we would.

Great service. Great atmosphere. Boy I just wish food was aligned too. Everything over cooked. Had to send burger back. Been twice. Love the vibe. Can't wrap my head around why the food fails.

With a NY-steakhouse vibe, the service is always great, and the food fantastic. My wife and I shared the collosal shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and I had the NY Strip au Poivre, cooked a perfect medium, while she enjoyed the Chicken Milanese for our entrees. Looking forward to returning again soon!

3 stars only for our server, food was not good. Been coming here since they opened. Tonight we shared a bunch of small plates. Mussels (white sauce, our favorite), tuna tartare, calamari and meatballs. Nothing had flavor and the meatballs were freezing cold. Our waitress took them back and warmed them up but they still were not hot. Angelina (our waitress) was AMAZING however! We did not complain other than to have the meatballs microwaved - I work in a restaurant, I really don't care how you heat them, I just want them hot. All this to say, this place used to be a favorite of ours and it has really gone downhill. We will not be back.

Hostess seemed irritated to be seeing people. Instead of a "hello"'it was "who are you?" The loud cacophony of this restaurant is beyond anything I've ever heard, in addition to music playing. Food did not come out together, bread never came - even though asked multiple times, food under (raw burger) or overcooked and would have drank more but never asked. Very disappointed.

We are big fans of Hudson Malone. There is always a warm greeting, the waiters are very professional and friendly ( especially Jesus) and the food is excellent. We particularly love the jumbo shrimp cocktail and grilled whole branzino. My husband loves the steak. It's the best gazpacho, but not always available. It is pricey, but worth it. A grown up restaurant that is not stuffy. We'll be back soon!

We love this restaurant. The ambiance, food service, staff. All great. We dine there frequently and all of the waitstaff is great but tonight Jesus C. was particularly terrific.

another great meal here. Every entree was so tasty. service perfect always a pleasure

Today my daughter and I went to Hudson Malone today for a nice late lunch. We had a lovely waitress whom we have had before. We ordered the soup special : New England Clam Chowder. It was very watery, and not flavorful. Then we ordered a cheeseburger ( $22) And the seafood fritter lollipops. The cheeseburger came with half cooked bacon, was cut in half, ( why?) and the bun was way too small & wimpy of the burger. Bottom line, it was sloppy, messy and not enjoyable at all. The seafood fritters were not great. Weird tasting and the dipping sauce was strange and oily. When I asked to speak to the manager after receiving the bill for $65 for an extremely sub par meal, I explained that that the food broke "Quinn's last rule on his list of rules which was placed on our table. The last rule is : MEDIOCRITY SUCKS! Danny the manager took $15 off the bill! LOL! We will never return, as it is my 3rd bad example at Hudson Malone!

Let me say this. 0 reason of not coming here on a regular but I will say the true basis of good bar. Good food. Good ownership. Good staff. Never had a bad meal here in years and the bartenders are amazing. Enrique, joe, Keith. Absolutely amazing. Come get a drink and base it on yourself!

Always gracious. Good food and drink. Relaxed, respectable. Fun & friendly. Above and beyond trying their best to get US Open tennis coverage on the bar TVs. Will return.

Food was exceptional. We had the tuna salad and calamari. Tuna salad was cooked well, great salad dressing and the calamari were a good size with a tasty breading. The service was a bit lacking. But all of the staff seem to be involved and approachable.

Great ambiance! Super cozy. Great lighting. Food was fantastic - highly recommend the faroe salmon.

Was here last weekend and they truly exceeded our expectations!! We had 5 couples and 4 babies and we were seated in our own little private area that was beautiful. The drinks and food were excellent--everyone loved their meal which can be a challenge in a large group. The restaurant itself is so charming with a fireplace and rustic feel. The hostess was wonderful and very helpful when I was making the reservation. Highly recommend!

This place is solid. The food was very good. I had hanger steak with a wine glaze. Loved it. The service is a little slow and the spacing is tight. It's not a huge place but the ambiance in general is nice. Parking is tricky down there. The food, again, makes up for a lot of it.

We love Hudson Malone . Has a NYC restaurant/ bar vibe . If you are lucky and get a seat close to the fireplace that's always fun . The food is good , service is good , ambience is excellent. We've visited Hudson Malone many times over the years and it's a solid go to restaurant for us .

We have had good times and bad times at Hudson Malone. We. kept coming back after the good times but finally stopped going there after three bad meals. Enough! But we tried again recently after a long absence and we are back on the good times. Our waitress, Angelica, had a lot to do with that and the mussels were delicious. So all is well again. I recommend that you ask for Angelica if you go there.

The food and service were outstanding! The vibe of the place is great too. Really enjoyed it. I had the pork chop and my wife had the filet. She had the potato pancakes and I had sautéed spinach and French fries. All the food was fantastic!

Pub Food Central. Food is what you'd expect from a restaurant with a bar and tv with the game on. Burgers wings calamari and other fun food. When the mood or hankering for such fare strikes, Hudson Malone will satisfy.

The tomato soup is amazing. The coffee is great. Certain dishes are good . The steak sandwich was also good. I asked for chicken and waffle with the sirracha sauce on the side. The chicken was very dry and over cooked and they did have sauce on the side, but they also drizzled it all over both the chicken and the waffle . It infiltrated everything with its strong taste. Thats why I say maybe. I would avoid this particular dish.

Had brunch for the first time here and it was amazing. The French toast was incredible and the omelet was so yummy Brunch was reasonable priced too!

Doug did the whole community a great service opening this gem during the disorienting, dreary days of lockdowns. I've been a patron many times since then and the food and service, along with his personal warmth and that of his staff, has been consistently excellent. No place better in the fall and winter.

Brunch, dinner, drinks, or really any occasion, Hudson Malone is THE place to be! Food is always on point, atmosphere couldn't be better, and the bar well if you know you know... So what more can I say, just go, you won't be let down. Literally the only possible complaint I could make is the coffee, but really who's going there for that anyhow.

This is an all-around good bet. Stellar staff, a nice vibe when you walk in and a varied menu where even the pickiest eater can find something to eat and/or drink. Doug, the owner (The Mighty Quinn) seems to go out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. Whether you are a table for two or there with a large group, your experience at Hudson Malone will more than likely convince you to come back.

I've enjoyed 2 great meals at this restaurant. There is a very small parking lot around the restaurant, but a much larger lot just across the street. For lunch, the ambiance was comfortable and the " old pub feel" was welcoming & cozy even though the size of the restaurant is relatively large. Service was friendly and attentive. I had their steak salad and it was excellent!!! The steak was cooked perfectly and the portion was ample. The greens were fresh and the dressing perfect! For Dinner, my boyfriend and I joined 2 friends on a Saturday evening at 6:30. The restaurant was packed!! We were seated at a table against the wall and the seating was comfortable. However, the fully packed restaurant with the hardwood floors elevated the noise level so much so that it was hard to converse easily across the table. We actually had to lean in to hear one another. Nevertheless, we all fully enjoyed our meals. Three of us ordered the Haddock special and it was cooked perfectly with delicious flavorings. Again, the portions were ample. When I visit on a Friday or Saturday night, I might just dine a bit earlier before the restaurant fills. But, I would absolutely dine here again and I highly recommend this restaurant.

Went there last night. Pork chop to die for. Exemplary service.. they even called today to make sure I had a great experience. Place is great!?

We had a nice family birthday dinner fir my wife. The food was decent even though the ran out of a few choices and messed up My dish The decor was nice with a homey vibe ... but a couple glitches due to staffing problems

Had a light lunch at Hudson Malone the other day and it was a nice experience. They have done a great job with indoor decor. Seating is stylish yet comfortable. Many outdoor areas to sit as well and the bar area is very cool! We opted for inside but most outdoor areas are covered too which is ideal. Staff was courteous, helpful, and efficient. They have an extensive and unique cocktail list and there were quite a few I would try. For the day, I decided to go with the Kennedy Cocktail with is a rum based martini. It was excellent, sweet (which I tend to like), balanced, and refreshing. I could have easily took down a few of them! Food was good- the calamari was the real stand out though and I would totally get that again. It was extremely fresh, nice large rings and lightly fried so you really got to taste the calamari. It came with red sauce and an aioli which I love when places do. We also had the wedge salad and potato latkes which were both good but not as great as the calamari. Overall, cute lunch and/or dinner spot slightly away from the hustle of the downtown area!

It all started off well but a snafu at the end with the bill. The steak on the menu was priced at $45. The bill came and reflected $50! I didn't balk but just deducted it from the tip. NOT COOL DUDES!

Wanted to make a date night in Westport special so I asked my client who has excellent taste where he would recommend - his first response was Hudson Malone ... When we did our diligence and learned it was originally based in Manhattan we were sold. The atmosphere is casual but trendy and very old school NY nostalgia. The staff is well trained and the management is on top of things. The owner DougQuinn was not only on the floor but visited every table personally. The outdoor patio is covered. After Will our server bragged about their bar tender in Manhattan was ranked as one of the best in Manhattan - we put him to the test.... To help me decide on a wine Will brought out 3 bottles of wine to do a tasting and education at the table. Settled on "Cigar" wine which had a unique Smokey flavor - not overbearing. I've eaten at 5 star steakhouses all over the world so when HM took pride in their steaks it got our attention. For starters the spinach dip was incredible - unique blend of rich cheese and spinach. Wife's salad combo of prosciutto, mozzarella balls with balsamic vinaigrette was refreshing and light. The NY strip was served in strips from a hot sizzling pan and had a well balanced charred flavor and perfectly cooked middle for our liking. My wife doesn't normally like steak but we shared and she loved it. The asparagus was also perfectly seasoned and charred. The crème brûlée for dessert was served with a flame and was amazing. Great place for a business meeting, a date night, or just hanging with friends and family.

Cute brunch spot in Westport and was recommended by a couple of good friends who are regulars here. Gotta say this was a win in my book for good tasty brunch! Definitely recommend for the Westport area! 9/10

My GF wanted to take me out for a nice steak dinner in Westport. We originally went to The Cottage, however, being a Sunday, they were "out" of steak. We had to pivot and wound up trying out Hudson Malone. While the Cottage was very cramped and had a formal and somewhat stuffy atmosphere, I couldn't have been more pleased to see the opposite from Hudson Malone. While not overly formal in appearance, the interior was extremely spacious and comfortable. I was first drawn the large fireplace presenting a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The tables were well spaced out and the ambiance (while low-lit, which I also liked as it felt each table had more privacy) was exactly what I was hoping for. I was not planning to drink, but the environment lent itself very nicely to a bottle of wine and great conversation. The wait staff was pleasant, but the food was beyond my expectation. I had the Bacon appetizer, which was presented on a rack hung with Rosemary and was "torched" (Creme-Brule style) at our table. My steak entre (I got the strip) was both large, and well-seasoned. The au poivre was well balanced and actually superior to one of my favorite spots to get steak in my hometown of Fairfield. My GF ordered the Salmon which was also well presented and quite tasty. Being so pleasantly satisfied with my entire experience, I spoke to the house manager who was making the rounds, and he was beyond receptive and very happy with our feedback (to the tune of a complementary desert). I would highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants a high quality dining experience in a comfortable environment. The prices were reasonable for the area and the service, atmosphere and food quality were exceptional. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

We live down the street and decided to try this place out for mothers day. I really like the ambiance/decor. The service was good, drinks were OK, but the food was spectacular. The fresh bread was a nice touch. I wasn't a huge fan of their Aviation, as it sounded better then it tasted, but the Papa Doble was good, just very pricey for how small it was. For food, we started w/a Madison ave Cobb salad for the table, which I thought was fabulous. My brother got the tomato soup & a filet mignon, which I tried & was awesome. My mom got the Chicken Paillard, which was a nice lighter choice. (I would probably get this or the salad when I go back.) My brothers gf had the Halibut which she really enjoyed & I had El burger, which was good but probably my least favorite of everything. The creme brûlée was good, but def not the best i'd ever had. I will definitely be back, Overall, 4 stars.

Should be a 6 star - outstanding. We had an awesome time last night. The entire place has been gutted since it opened and it's a great inviting environment. The staff were all nice and accommodating for our large somewhat obnoxious party - well that was mostly me. The food was also outstanding along with the owner Doug who was very welcoming and Bea the hostess who was both charming and incredibly friendly. Just a great experience. Will definitely be back when I return to Westport in December. Highly recommend making a visit. Thanks for a memorable evening! Cheers, Scott

Lovely service, the interior decor feels like a place that has been there for a long time. Fire place was cool even in the summer. Food was good, not great, nothing that other places aren't already doing, but nothing wrong. Wish they had more options for live music. Very few parking spaces on their lot, had to park across the street and not very well lit because it's out of down town.

It may increase to 5 stars. Loved loved loved my first visit. Wish I went to this place sooner. The vibe is so Uber cool. The other location is in NYC and it shows. Each dish our table ordered was wonderful. We loved the potato pancakes and I would highly recommend to NOT share this dish as you will want to devour every morsel. You can't go wrong with any item and I'll update on subsequent visits.

Amazing service and very good food and cocktails; great atmosphere too. We dine there often.

We came to Hudson Malone for brunch and it was a big letdown. Unfortunately, I have to agree with other reviews that the service at this restaurant has a lot to improve. We were kind of forgotten by our waitress at the beginning - we weren't attended for more than 10min after being seated. After having to ask for water and menu, our waitress came to apologize but then kept coming back literally every 3-5min. The whole experience was awkward and the flow just felt very disrupted. We got salmon benedict and french toast, which were just average. Our bill came at $39 with a cup of latte. Quite pricey. Would not be coming back.

Have been here three times in the last two months - keep coming back for the food, the ambience and the service. We have enjoyed a variety of items on the menu - our favorite apps include the arancini, Mac and cheese and the calamari, the pork chop and the halibut special were excellent, and the burgers are juicy and delicious. The bar is excellent as well, with an extensive collection of bourbons, ryes and scotches - salute !

Only ordered a burger for take-out and had THE nicest service over the phone -- so patient and kind-- and at pick up too, which I really appreciate. The burger was quite good.. as were the fries. Looked nice inside and given the super nice service- I'd try it again for dining in.

Had a fantastic dinner here this past Friday night! Great atmosphere - felt warm and homey with all the exposed wood and fireplace. Was very impressed with the food and service! Looking forward to coming back and trying out more menu items (the people next to us ordered burgers which looked insane).

Outstanding food and service along with a fantastic liquor selection. Very noisy unless you get the right table. Best to raise that issue when you make your reservation.

My wife and I had dinner last night.We both had steaks , which were good.Although we felt rushed.We decided to have dessert ,Terimusu.My wife found a screw approximately 1/8 in diameter and 3/4 of an inch long in our dessert?The waitress said sorry, no management apology.They did not take it off the bill there was very little concern over the issue.We wondered what else was in our dessert.Will not be returning.

Really cool place. Drove by here many times and never knew it existed. Great drinks and excellent food and service.

We had heard some good things about Hudson Malone and this sunny lovely springtime Sunday afternoon was a wonderful day to experience it for ourselves. When I say "friendly" I mean Southern Hospitality friendly, which is very difficult to find in Fairfield County. This is why I give 5 stars. EVERYTHING was fantastic. The food (breakfast burger, salmon benedict ) was fantastic. Their hollandaise is the real deal and not out of a packet. I asked for extra and it was no problem. Our server, Joe was outstanding. He was attentive and friendly and went out of his way to see that we were happy with everything. Their Bloody Mary is awesome! We loved the place and we will return. And this blackboard hangs inside the restaurant and I realized that Quinn (owner) is my kind of people
