Hudson Table Philadelphia

Today my sister and I attended a live chef competition at Hudson Table -Philly. It was a surprise treat for my sister’s birthday . The chefs and staff are so friendly and super knowledgeable about their industry and cooking tips ! This experience does cost a pretty penny, check out their website for pricing . Classes and competitions tend to fill up quickly . You will leave this experience with a full belly . PS, the chef in the Phillies hat is super cute 🙏🏽

I HIGHLY recommend Hudson Table! I would give it 10 stars if I could! My mom, my sisters and I did the Dumplings 101 hands on class, with Chef Jared. We had such a great experience! We were greeted by friendly staff, who readily helped us get settled in with our BYOB mimosas and wine. The chef gave everyone a tutorial on how to prepare our dumplings, while also sharing some kitchen tips and tricks that I never realized I didn't know especially after cooking for so many years! It was quite informative!! We then all made our way to our prep table to prepare our delicious dumplings, while also enjoying each other's company and sharing many laughs. It felt like we were in our old family kitchen. The atmosphere is laid back, and the chefs come around and assist and make sure everyone is on track. The best part was when we got to devour our delicious dumplings. They came out so good and I never thought I was capable of making dumplings! We had THE BEST day and this was truly a unique experience! We will definitely be returning!

We had an incredible experience at Hudson Table for Spanish Tapas night! The food was delicious - we particularly loved the romanesca dip and the chorizo and cheese croquettes. The class was super hands-on but you could always flag down a chef for assistance. Gary was a great resource for all things cooking - knife safety, food processor tips, and more. Would highly recommend for a date night!

HIGHLY recommend this unique experience!! It’s like being in person for chopped/iron chef and you’re the judge. For a reasonable price you get a live experience of having your meals cooked in front of you while speaking to chefs, seeing the plating process and seeing the chefs pour their hearts onto each plate while being timed. And it’s 6 courses!! You can’t beat that.

What an amazing experience. The staff were energetic and entertaining. The mystery box was top tier. Presentation and service, chefs kiss. Excellent concept. We will definitely be back.

Hudson Table was an amazing birthday gift for myself! I went with a friend and we cooked an amazing meal with a lovely couple. I am a chef myself so it was nice to brush up on a few skills. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They made accommodations for those with food allergies and intolerances. The class itself was perfectly timed. We worked together to put together this amazing dish that i still think about to this DAY!! Chef Justin was cool and awesome.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Mediterranean cooking class at Hudson Table in Northern Liberties, Philly, and it was an absolute delight. The menu featured a fantastic array of Mediterranean favorites, all easy to follow and recreate at home. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked, and the spacious work area made it easy to move around and engage with the cooking process. One of the highlights of the experience was the team of seasoned, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful chefs who guided us through each step with patience and expertise. Their passion for Mediterranean cuisine was evident, and they made the class both educational and enjoyable. The atmosphere at Hudson Table was lively and fun, creating the perfect environment for a memorable culinary experience. However, I did find that street parking was limited, and the nearby parking lot was quite expensive, which was a bit of a downside. Overall, though, I highly recommend Hudson Table for anyone looking to learn new culinary skills in a welcoming and enjoyable setting.

Such a great time! Came for the chef competition and it was the perfect way to spend a birthday. Chopped style cooking event, two chefs go head to head for the win. Books up fast so you have to be quick, but it's worth the cost. Good vibes and a lot of food. Put on your food critic hat and have a great time! I've also been for the cooking classes. Great direction and once again a lot of food. Perfect night out!

Whenever I'm watching the Food Network or Top Chef, I always dream of being able to try all of the food as one of the judges --- recently at Hudson Table, I was able to do just that! My husband and I had a gift card that we used to attend one of their Chef Competitions --- and it was by far one of the coolest brunch experience we've ever had that I would highly recommend for any foodie! We arrived 15-20 min prior to the start of the event and were greeted warmly and offered complimentary coffee. We were allowed to choose any open seat and bee-lined for one of the chef's counter seats (others are seated at tables elsewhere in the room, and it's first come-first serve). Our chefs introduced themselves and chatted with us as they prepped for the competition, explaining that they had both seen their "secret ingredient list" when they arrived that morning about 1 hour prior to the event. Eventually, our host reviewed the rules: the chefs would prepare 3 courses (appetizer, entree, dessert) using only the secret ingredients along with any pantry staples already present in the kitchen. Each chef and their sous chef could work on any of the three rounds at any time, but had time limits for when a course was anticipated to be plated. We were given rubrics to grade each course on taste, presentation, and creativity. And then --- they were off! We had a blast observing the chefs, picking up on cooking techniques via observation, sampling sauces at various points in their creation, and watching them plate each course. We were served 6 total dishes, with one chef clearly winning for presentation while the other really won us over for taste. Unfortunately, after a frittata debacle (it didn't cook all the way through within the time allotted, but the finished edge pieces were delectable), one chef emerged a clear winner. Some notes: The chef competitions have limited seats and seem to sell fast. Our date opened at 11 AM and was sold out by 11:20 AM, so if you're interested in attending, make sure you're ready to book right at ticket release! They request that patrons with dietary restrictions watch for special chef competitions accommodating these needs, but did ask about allergies/restrictions with the intention of trying to accommodate if able. It's BYOB!

Came for their Lunch in Italy class, and it was one of the more disorganized and strange cooking classes I've taken. Most people came as a couple, and they have two couples at each prep table to create a group of four. Now, instead of each couple making a full meal from start to finish together, they want each group of four to make one meal. So they split you into pairs and actually recommend couples splitting up so that one person from each household can see parts of the cooking that the other person won't see. This makes sense in theory, but you end up spending the entire class with a stranger and only seeing half of the process (eg, I made pasta dough with my new partner, but later on my husband rolled that pasta dough with her husband...). Not exactly what most couples are looking for in this experience. Additionally, the chefs do not demonstrate how to make each dish in front of the class. They simply hand you a piece of paper with the recipe on it, tell you to follow it, and then are available if you have questions. And out of the three chefs in our class, they all had different and conflicting instructions when assisting students. I think if they can rework the class so that each couple cooks an entire meal together, and the chefs have cohesive demonstrations this would be a much better experience.

We've been to 3 events with Hudson Table - a virtual paella making class during COVID, an in-person Mediterranean cooking class last summer, and an in-person chef competition this past January. Hudson Table has such a wide variety of classes and offerings, there truly is something for everyone! Our first virtual experience was awesome - we stopped by in advance of the class to pick up the pre-portioned ingredients, logged on to the virtual link, and cooked alongside the chefs. It was sooo helpful to have the ingredients shared with us and measured out for us already; it really made the process go more smoothly. The Mediterranean class was amazing - my husband took me for my birthday, and while it was a "public" class, no one else booked that date, so we wound up having a private class for the 2 of us! Our chef helped guide us along the steps in the recipes, sharing some knife and prep skills along the way. We made a ton of dishes (lamb, spanakopita, tzatziki, shrimp, tabbouleh) that we got to enjoy at the end of the class (and we took home so many leftovers since we didn't have to share with others). It was during this class that we learned about the chef competition, which we knew we had to experience. We stalked the class releases and purchased tickets for the January chef competition for 4 so we could bring our brother and sister in law. Unfortunately, on the day of the event, my husband wound up being in the hospital, so we tried to get a refund for our tickets or reschedule. Hudson Table was not very helpful in our situation - since it was last minute, they tried to sell our tickets, but no one took the offer. They didn't offer a refund, which in fairness was in the comments when purchasing (but a hospitalization seemed like an extenuating circumstance...). Luckily, my husband got discharged literally 2 hours before the event, and since we paid a decent bit for the tickets and didn't want to eat the cost, we were still able to make it. He still enjoyed himself (just couldn't drink the wine pairing and stayed put for the most part of the night, not really walking around too much to see the chefs in action), but we were frustrated by the inflexibility of Hudson Table. Nevertheless ... the chef competition was an amazing experience. I loved being able to watch the chefs in action and seeing their creative takes on the available ingredients. While the ingredients were less crazy that some that we see on Chopped, it was still so fun to watch it all AND get to enjoy the creations. The ambience was amazing, really felling like we were on the Food Network with the countdown clock and rating process. Since it was full meals by 2 different chefs, it was a ton of food and I wound up taking ~50% home with me, haha. Despite our frustrations earlier in the day and stresses of if we were able to make it or if we had to eat the (expensive) costs, we had a great time at this event. The money was definitely worth it, and I would totally do it again (hopefully when my husband can fully enjoy it - hopefully no other scary situations beforehand!). Hudson Table is a great spot for a team visit, a date night, or just a chance to learn about a new cuisine, and I would recommend it - just be prepared to commit to your class!

First and foremost - Jared was amazing! I will start this review off with the negative. I asked for a gift certificate for Hudson Table as a holiday gift years ago and was elated when it came. I immediately went online and found many courses I'd love to take. However, when I went to sign up for one, as a single person, I COULDN'T. Odd. I went to choose another and still, couldn't - there were only even number options. Odd. I reached out to HT to see if I was doing something wrong and they responded that all classes were designed for even number groups but sometimes they ~allowed~ single people or uneven groups. Naturally I was upset. A single person can't take a cooking class? That seems discriminatory so I guess I'm out $100? Note that the owner, Allen, was the one who responded to my emails and was quite rude, stating "If you want to check back in the same day at 12 pm we can potentially sell a single ticket then depending on the sign ups. At this time, we can't sell a single ticket in case another pair potentially wants the last 2 tickets." However, after years of looking at classes, I was able to find one that ~allowed~ 3 people. Last night my friends and I attended the FORZA ITALIA - HANDS ON which featured Chicken Saltimbocca, Vegetarian Bolognese, Braised Green Beans, Crispy Potato Confit, and Apple Crostada. The night started off with a demonstration on basic knife skills, explanation as to how the night would go/the order in which to cook the dishes, and instruction regarding set-up. Wash your hands, put on your HT provided apron and name tag, and you're on your way! The prep stations were set up with everything you needed. All of the ingredients pre-portioned and freshly washed and instructions on exactly how to prep and cook your meal. We opened up a bottle of wine (yes, it's BYOB!) and went to town. Jared and the individual assisting him helped us along the way, offering advice, helping us clean up any scraps, putting items in the oven, etc. I will say that some of the items were pre-prepped as they needed to rest in the fridge (crostada crust and pounded chicken saltimbocca specifically). As far as the taste/results of the meal went - it was delicious! Who knew we were such great cooks!? Haha Sincerely, Jared and his team were wonderful and everything was fantastic. We cooked, we learned, we had wine, great laughs, listened to amazing music, AND didn't have to clean up. Perfect girl's night out. I would 10/10 come back to HT - I just have to be mindful that I can't come alone apparently

What a fun work gathering/team building event! Everyone got into it and the food was delicious! Our hosts were a great time and helped us when we were struggling a little bit but just enough to make people feel like they were owning their own meal! Was very easy to plan from a coordination standpoint and you get to pick from all the different menus they even let us add in a side dish for a little extra (which they prepared). Highly recommend!!!

We had our daughter's bridal shower at Hudson Table this weekend. Everything was just perfect. The team was helpful, efficient, and unobtrusive. The menu the chef created for us was creative and tasty, with care to keep it completely gluten free because of celiacs disease in the family. All our guests kept going back for seconds, saying what a scrumptious meal it was. Even the music playlist, curated by one of the staff, was the perfect accompaniment to set a festive mood. The bride was thrilled and all had a wonderful time. This is a really cool space to host an event or party, with spectacular food prepared in full view. We loved it!

I was expecting for this class to be more of a couple experience to be able to cook together- but it wasn't that at all. They chefs took most of the cooking into their hands. It was just my bf and I- so you will share your kitchen/dining space with another group/couple if you sign up as 2 people. We had a full class- so it was really tight working around the kitchen space. Our menu was a Spanish paella with churros for dessert. The paella we created was great-the rice was the one thing we were nervous about not being cooked fully-but luckily came out just fine. It's BYOB- so make sure to bring something to sip on for your meal. They give you instructions on what to do- with chefs following around the room to help out. They mention some tips/show you ways to cut, prepare any items before hand. Throughout half way, the class felt a very rushed and most of the time- the chefs who were instructing were using our group as the demo for most of the time. I only stirred the rice (since that was the one thing I was worried about most). We also did not get to make the desserts, which we were most excited for- we only prepared the batter for the churros-while the chefs fried the churros while everyone was eating. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here- but wish to have a class that is not fully booked, and where the guests can actually cook instead of the chefs.

We had a good time here though I'll say they're still ironing out kinks and could improve the instructions to make the buck fully worth the bang. I'll start by saying to get a spot for the February Valentine's Day course took some hoop jumping and stalking their Instagram in order to get enough info and book before things filled up. The process should be simpler and though I can understand that planning meals takes time, I wish the calendar of events was at least updated out a month in advance (so can book for February in January.) As far as background...This is a NYC concept that's made it's way over to Philly. It's nice operation in concept and I'm happy they're here to spread the fun! Our meal was "A Day in Italy" consisting of broccoli rabe, white bean dip, fresh pasta, and a tiramisu - solid menu! Located in the Piazza, it's a bit tough to find parking in the area so we did plan to show up early so we could leave enough time to circle and find parking. They do have good COVID precautions in place following city guidelines and asking us to be masked up until we enter and show valid vaccination status. We first gathered at the large kitchen area where the chefs go over the menu of the day and good kitchen safety and knife techniques. Then, by first come first serve, we sit at tables of 4 to make a meal for the table. The apps are made family style and then the pasta dish was made for two. There are instructions and pre portioned ingredients for all dishes. The instructions didn't exactly always go with what we actually ended up doing - so it became confusing. I found best to ask questions for better guidance. There was one main chef and then two supporting chefs that worked the room and helped answer questions and move things between set up and clean up - all very helpful and eager to aid! Overall the dishes came out great and they were generally simple enough to make. We've never made fresh pasta before and it was definitely the highlight of our experience and we could tell it was the general focus of the course. Our company at the table was also good to hang with and it was nice meeting new people. The course is BYOB and we came prepared along with some to go containers for leftovers (Hudson Table did communicate this via email before our course so it was nice to have this information prior to coming on site.) It is on the pricier side to do this experience but overall is worth it to do at least once. Thanks Hudson Table for a good time!

Attended a private birthday party event here and it was my first time visiting the place. Amazing set up and can easily hold 40 people. Chef Doug Brown was amazing...loved everything on the menu starting from pork belly tostado (tomato jam was epic) , pumpkin sage agnolotti, Peruvian roast chicken. The entire staff was super attentive and made sure that tables were all the time clean, food was filled up continuously and very flawless transition from apps to entree to cake cutting to desserts. The host also had a bartender who served signature cocktails and they were excellent. I would love to come back here and try their cooking classes.

What a GEM! This has been by far the best cooking class we have been to. Doug was an amazing leader and chef for our "Advanced Thai" class accompanied by this three other colleagues. They were kind, instructive, and created an overall fantastic experience. As a pair, we made two dishes along with another pair who made another two dishes, creating a four-dish meal to share at the end. We did all the prep and cooking (just not the measurements) throughout the whole process. BYOB certainly makes it a fantastic experience for anniversaries, birthdays, or just a good time with friends. Can't wait to come back!

My kids gave me a gift certificate for Hudson Table for Christmas because I really enjoy cooking. Went to a cooking class themed "American Steakhouse" last night with the hubs. We prepared Mahi seviche. Fennel salad with charred orange, duck fat roasted potatoes, and NY strip steaks. Dessert was a vanilla bean crème brûlée. The menu was outstanding - we loved every aspect of it. Hudson Table has a cute vibe, and the service/hospitality was terrific. Chef Jared, Justin and Lily were amazing. I also picked up some great chopping/dicing tips (yes you can teach an old dog new tricks), and I can't wait to prepare the same menu for my family. Everything was perfect - thank you! Looking forward to Hudson Table's summer pop-ups.

We went to Hudson Table to celebrate a birthday. it was amazing. I highly recommend cooking/dining at Hudson Table. The staff were amazing and made the evening very enjoyable. Plus, it was a lot of fun meeting other patrons. Will go back for sure.

BEWARE!! Over the summer booked a date for my wife and I at Hudson Table but, unfortunately, 4 weeks before the date we ended up having a conflict. So I reached out to the Hudson Table team to see if there is a way to rebook another event as there were a number of other events (including ours) that had not been sold out yet. I figure 4 weeks notice would be enough time to make alternate reservations. That way we get to still experience Hudson Table, they still receive the revenue, etc. However, the staff would not accommodate any changes to the reservation. So we ended up eating $300. At first they claimed it was due to using the reservations to purchase adequate/correct amounts of food for the specific event, which I then questioned why food being purchased so far in advance? They then back tracked and said it's actually similar to purchasing a ticket to a Broadway play. If I had to cancel a Broadway Play, would I dare reach out to the staff to cancel? Unfortunately, I had to remind the owner that for a Broadway Play I would have a ticket(s) to a seat and would have the ability to resell the ticket online, as well as, dictate the price. In this scenario I have no ticket, just a reservation, and cannot resell this online. In fact, this may be more similar of a scenario to purchasing an airline flight. In which case, yes, 4 weeks out - I would reach out to the airline if I had a conflict and would ask to make alternate arrangements. My advice is only book this place if you know you won't miss it. From reading the reviews, if you attend the event it sounds like a blast. However, if for any reason you can't make the event, no matter how far in advance, I would not purchase anything here. As many of the reviews below mention, there is no Customer Service here. They'll make you eat the cost. Obviously, I would never advise doing business here because of my bad experience, but if you do decide to move forward, just proceed with caution.

Last night, my boyfriend and I had scheduled a date night at Hudson Table. While on the way to the cooking class we parked where my car had been, only to realize it was stolen and pinging off in North Philly (total freak incident). Keeping in mind the poor reviews regarding refunds, we scrambled over to HT and explained our situation to head chef (needed to locate car, file police report, etc). The chef and all staff were very empathetic, encouraging us to take care of business and urging us to reach out to owner (Allen) to reschedule. The chef even noted he had texted the head chef and said everything would be handled if we reached out. This was countered by a blunt email from the owner indicating that the chef was in no position to allow this and that we'd be eating the cost of our class --- no rescheduling, discount, or credit was offered. The conditions of the class cancellation fees were understood prior, but the handling by the owner was dissatisfactory and disheartening. Staff seems nice; management needs to take a class on etiquette.

I visited Hudson Table last night for a live 3 course chef cooking competition and this was one of the best Philly dining experiences I've had in a while! I love the cozy quaint production style kitchen setup. You can be seated at the bar/island for a close up experience or there are also tables for a more private intimate experience. It was really cool being able to watch the Chefs live in action! They were super personable and gave insight onto how they were creating dishes, flavors, etc. the even cooler part is getting to feel like a real celebrity judge and actually rate the chefs and their dishes! The serving/portion sizes are decent and you may even leave with some leftovers as the chefs often give little tastings as the cook before you get your actual dish. Overall this place is a 10/10! Highly recommend for a cute date night experience that elevates the typical night out for dinner. **Full Video review can be found on my personal blog page on IG @EverythingAnythingAnyone**

Big fan of Hudson Table. My kids had a great time at the cooking class and I recently hosted a private corporate event there which was a huge hit. The food was excellent and they are very attentive. I had nothing but confidence that my event was going to run smoothly and they were very attentive to any allergies/preferences.

Hudson Table is such a fun night out if you're looking to do something different. My partner and I love to cook, but we make the same stuff all the time in our tiny kitchen with zero guidance. I had been eyeing the classes at Hudson Table for a few months before I pulled the trigger on booking the Japanese Surf and Turf class on Valentine's Day weekend. I signed up for the Hudson Table newsletter to be notified by e-mail when classes were added and available which seems to be the best way to make sure you get seats. This specific class literally sold out the day it was announced, so I'm glad I booked as soon as I received the e-mail. It was $110 per person for the 3-hour class plus gratuity which you have the option to add when booking or the night of the class by cash/Venmo/card. My partner and I showed up with another couple and were seated around the big kitchen area with about 10 other people - the classes are intimate which makes for more 1:1 attention. They do require proof of vaccination which also allows attendees the option to wear a mask indoors or not throughout the class. It's also BYOB so make sure to bring your own drinks! They do provide water and snacks when you arrive, so a little something to tide you over until your meals are prepared. Also note, they suggest you bring your own tupperware for leftovers which I appreciated because well, we love leftovers. We spent the first hour and a half following all of the instructions provided to create our 5-course meal. Everything was already measured and prepped for us to save time. The ingredients were simple and fresh, and the recipes were super easy to follow. I kind of wished it was a little harder to be honest, but I understand they want to keep it moving for all comfort levels. The rest of the time was spent having a nice sit-down meal and enjoying the fruits of our labor! The staff were so friendly and kept things moving quickly. We didn't have to lift a finger or clean a dish at any point in time. Anything we needed was in our hands before we could even ask for it. The food was delish, loved having leftovers, the experience was just fun overall, and we had a great time! Wished some of the recipes were a little more challenging/innovative, but it was a good first experience and I would attend a class here again.

Great space to go with friends, date night or if you just want to learn some great cooking tips!! Made our own pasta and bolognese along with chicken, white bean dip and tiramisu!

The chef competition of Ben vs Doug was so fun!!! Very interactive, food was delicious, & super fun atmosphere. Would definitely do this again!!

Updating review since the owner is desperately seeking to remove bad reviews. First there was a message from owner requesting to remove the review. Removing the review would not be fair to other restaurants in the area who are really serving good food. I did plan to update review after trying their dinner. You really need a special occasion to try an expensive from a restaurant that served you bad food on previous occasion. But, I was willing to do that to support a local business. And then the owner posts the public message yelp-shaming for a bad review is not the way. I msan you have an excuse for bad food but there is no excuse for bad behavior. This is so wrong! Using Covid to charge people for bad food is not right. You didn't ask people to remove their good reviews on the same pop-up that I gave you bad review. This is just bad attitude and not how business should be done.

My husband, myself, my sister and my brother in-law went to the pasta making class on a Sunday. We wanted to take a class that taught us to prepare food we had never made before. This was a great choice! the team were so kind and very attentive. Nothing was overwhelming or complicated, it was very fun. I definitely recommend taking this class.

I've wanted to try this place for a very long time and after hearing they have a weekend seafood shack, I knew I had to get me some of that. So on a Sunday evening, hubster and i finally got around to ordering a warm lobster roll and coconut shrimp. We were not very hungry but in the mood for something nice so we were also initially contemplating to split the lobster roll only!! Fast forward 30 mins after we picked up our order, came back home and excitedly got drinks ready, we open the boxes to find a teeny tiny piece of lobster roll. I doubt it was even 4 inches. It was pretty average in taste too. Shrimp was still better but very small size and small portions. We were not hungry enough to start with but after paying $35, we still had to go back to cooking food at home so we could just fill our stomachs. I don't think I'll go back here.

What a fun experience! Would definitely recommend this place to any person who wants to cook unique dishes in a laid back atmosphere. We did the southwest Indian night and i learned so much! Definitely made dishes I never would have thought to attempt before. The instructors were very helpful throughout the class . I would definitely return!

We had a great time! The chef and assistant were very helpful and kept us on task. The only thing we expected and would recommend was more demonstration from the instructors during the evening instead of us simply reading the recipe off a paper and cooking it. We would have enjoyed more tips and guidance for sure!! All being said we would still recommend this experience and do it again!

This was a fun and unique experience! We were fortunate enough to attend on their opening night, and I don't have to tell anyone how wonderful a new place smells. Ahh! Hudson Table is located at The Piazza in a brandy-new spot. Our evening consisted of a hands-on cooking experience called "Couples Night Out: Seductive Foods". Hubba hubba. The menu consisted of Chorizo and Ham Croquettes, Fennel and Charred Orange Salad (and char the oranges we did!), Porterhouse Steak, Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes with Fried Rosemary, and Vanilla Crème Brulee. They provide you with everything you need - all you need to bring are your beverages of choice. We were provided with the recipes and away we went to slice, dice, chop, stir, sauté, and burn (a bit) our courses. Our group of 4 was like the rowdy kids in high school, so admittedly we were not paying attention to the recipe steps as best we could have. We were laughing and talking too much. Had we drank less and read the recipes more, then we may not have had to be course-corrected by the chef and staff. They were laughing along with us and that made the experience fun. Keep in mind that you will need to take a few minutes to really review the recipes. They're not overly complicated, but for someone like me who rarely cooks, I felt a little lost at times. My husband picked up the slack and bless his heart for that! You get to enjoy the fruits of your culinary labor at the end, which is the best part of the evening. They turned up the music and turned down the lights. It felt more like a restaurant than a cooking school atmosphere. The seating is first come, first served, so if you're a party of 4 or more, then it's a good idea to ensure that you arrive early enough to be able to sit together. Thank you to our awesome friend and Yelper Jason P for hooking us up with reservations, and for posting our Yelp pictures! Chop-chop-chop!

If you want a low stress, overpriced, BYOB date activity, this would be fine. However, if you're expecting authenticity or to learn anything, this is not it. A few friends and I recently did a class that was themed around Oaxacan cuisine. The instructor was nice but he was a white guy from Jersey with "chef" experience in rural Virginia. (In a city full of Mexicans, they couldn't find a Mexican chef?) The recipes were bland and from the internet (my friend recognized the "Oaxacan" chocolate chip cookie recipe from TikTok). The ingredients provided were not great (the Oaxaca cheese for the fundido did not taste good. They definitely didn't source ingredients from a store that sells actual Latino products, even though there are options within ten blocks). Another dish was "avocado risotto" - white rice mixed with an avocado cream sauce. No mole or other staples of Oaxacab cuisine. Overall, I felt misled by the description of what we signed up for. They clearly have never researched Oaxacan cuisine. I would never make any of these recipes again.

Do not book a reservation here with everything going on. If you happen to get sick and can't make it, they won't work with you to move your reservation to a new date, and will STEAL YOUR MONEY. They're worse than an airline when it comes to being rude and difficult to deal with about reservations, which is hard to do.

Yikes -- what a nightmare this has all been. I received an email yesterday from Hudson Table saying that they were able to sell the tickets and they offered a code in value for the cost of the class. Only to send an email ten minutes later voiding the code because I threatened a chargeback. I audibly laughed at the audacity of sending two separate emails in ten minutes with two completely different messages but it's par the course for Hudson Table. Allen Bari's responses to my email became increasingly erratic. Allen said: "...You pretty much are saying you don't care about any of that and demanding we give you a credit because you, not a business owner, are saying that's what should be the case? We responded within minutes of your cancelation request, relisted your tickets, told you what we can do and then you immediately throw out a threat of a chargeback. I'm sorry but you aren't in the restaurant industry. Feel free to do as you wish but in 6 months, 2 years, etc. when you start seeing restaurants closing, just know people like you who feel they are above the law are the reason small businesses are shuttering their doors." He claims that I'm painting a half picture. I'm happy to share our entire email chain to anyone who's considering purchasing a gift card for their loved one this holiday -- you deserve better.

What a great venue! We needed a space to serve dinner for a few family and friends, and Allen saved our event. We rented the space by contacting Allen and providing the details of the event. The space was beautiful, and the manager and assistant were great! Thank you so much!

Hudson Table catered our wedding and we would 100% recommend them! The service was exceptional all around and our guests are still talking about the food. Prior to the wedding, they took the time to discuss our vision with us and help us create it. They were excellent at keeping in touch and updating us each step of the way. On the day of the wedding, they had everything taken care of. Literally everything. We felt so at ease. The experience was very personalized from the asian themed appetizers to the ice cream and s'mores desserts by the campfire. Our wedding would not have been as special and unique if we didn't have the pleasure of working with Hudson Table. They made our wedding dreams come true!

My husband and I went for the pie making class, what a disaster. I will say the team was very nice, but were so focused on leaving the class that the pies were never fully baked. On the way home all of the juice from the apple pie spilled into the box and the cherry/cranberry was raw. At 8:40 the chef said that she had hoped to be home by that time, the class was supposed to be from 6:30-9:30. The ingredients were not measured correctly and we had to share rolling pins, there were only 4 in the place. We didn't make the meringue for the banana cream pie. I had hoped that we would have some delicious pies for Thanksgiving, the cost for 2 people in the class was ridiculous for what we received in return, stay away!

My wife and I had an amazing night at the Hudson Table. The overall experience was dope. I definitely recommend for date night. The chefs were very helpful. Our class had 6 couples so we had to pair up in teams with another couple. We split the menu. They made the dessert(which the oven was too high and burnt everybody's dessert. Chefs fault)& shrimp pasta. We made the clams and braised short ribs. It's worth every Penny. Also, it's BYOB if you drink alcohol. They also offer kid classes too.

Went to one of the chef competitions and it was amazing. I was a bit hesitant because it's pricey and I didn't realize it was brunch focused (user error I just didn't read that haha) so was worried we wouldn't get our money's worth. Not the case at all! It was incredible and so much fun. It's byob and we were nervous about what to bring but it was so low key, so many people making their own mimosas. The food was amazing and it was fun to be a judge. Felt like I was on the food network. Definitely a great time for special occasions! Will be back!!!

First of all, I am not writing anything about the class nor their food. I am writing about the owner Allen who has no concept of customer service whatsoever. No empathy nor trying to accommodate what I expressed was a bit misleading on their website. I have no problem and do not mind paying for what I was actually trying to purchase at all, which was for a hands-on cooking/dining. Yes, i understand that all sales are supposed to be final, but OWNERS can make an exception. Calls me back, very pushy, overbearing and arrogant, and just trying to make money because of the "covid pandemic". Definitely bad attitude not worth supporting. REPLY: definitely not with your shitty attitude! Not worth a penny. You can have my 200$ .. typical a** .. get some customer service 101 class

I've used Hudson Table for two dinner parties at my house: one for 10 people and one for 16 people. Chef Anne and Doug were a pleasure to work with and thoughtfully crafted a personalized 5 course plated menu each time. The service and food was excellent and they were respectful and left my kitchen in better shape than it was when they arrived. I will definitely be using them again.

Very disappointed in how the handle customer service. We purchased an event well in advance for my 35th birthday in April 2020. Due to COVID we were unable to attend due to the pandemic. We have a 2 year old so scheduling a night out is challenging for us. Hudson table would not honor the "$250 credit" when we tried to use it a year later. Disappointed in them, they clearly don't value their customers. Do not recommend, would give them 0 stars if I could.

We picked up the Hudson table Mother's Day meal kit today for a socially distanced picnic at my parents house. It was perfect! I was so happy to finally try their food. Altho I really can't wait til they reopen and I can cook! The pick-up was easy; the instructions were clear and everything was packaged nicely. Our menu was fantastic: Spring Strawberry Salad Cheddar and Bacon Cornbread with Honey Butter Crab Cakes - Lemon-Herb Panko, House Remoulade Grilled Chicken with Bruschetta Tomatoes and Pesto Spring Hash - Asparagus, Mushroom, and Baby Potato Hash with "Everything" Spice Crunch lemon Olive Oil Cake with Lavender Honey by Natalie We fired up the grill and heated up everything that needed it in the foil containers and had a nice meal 6' apart on a beautiful spring day. I can't wait to se what you cook up for Father's Day. I highly recommend checking it out.

We booked Hudson Table for our wedding rehearsal dinner and WOW... IT WAS EPIC! It was so laid back and fun, with the open kitchen, and fun and friendly staff-- and ridiculously delicious food. If you're trying to think outside of the box to host 30-ish friends/family, you really should considering having it here! Everyone is still talking about how incredible the food was, how different it was, and how much fun they had watching the chefs get into the cooking. THE ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU-- MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM YOU WANT THE JACK DANIELS CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD PUDDING FOR DESSERT. Everyone is begging me to get the recipe! 10/10 recommend this-- you won't regret it!

Enjoyed a nice dinner here with friends. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group. Food was good and we enjoyed the experience. We would definitely refer and recommend to anyone.

Such a fun experience! This is way more than a demonstrating kitchen-- we were in the heart of all the prepping and cooking! We did the couples brunch and made creme brûlée French toast, popovers with raspberry butter, hash browns and chicken confit. Chef Chris was an incredible host and chefJustin was also a big help. Kudos to them and the rest of the staff for keeping us in check! We will definitely be back.

We did a private cooking class as a work event here, and it ended up being a huge hit! People loved the teachers and the recipes. The crew did a great job coaching less experienced chefs, and they effectively accommodated any food allergies/preferences.

I surprised my boyfriend for Valentine's Day for hT's "couples night out." I have never done a cooking class so had no idea what to expect going in. There were 8 couples there; we learned out to shuck oysters, and prepared beef wellington and chocolate lava cake. Two couples prepared the dishes together, sharing a station to prep ingredients, as well as a stove/oven to cook, so there is a social component that requires teamwork. While this was fun at times, I would have preferred to prepare/cook with my boyfriend/partner alone as this would have made the experience more romantic. On the negative side, as another reviewer mentioned things were a bit confusing & disorganized throughout the 3 hour event. I wasn't sure what we were supposed to be preparing at a given time. Overall there wasn't a whole lot of direction as to what we should be doing. They are within their first two weeks of opening, so definitely got the impression they were still getting in the groove of things, so wouldn't want this to deter others from trying it out. Overall, this was definitely a fun experience, at a nice venue with all of the best equipment/cookware. I'd like to go back and try out more events.

We completed their first class ever! We made pasta and raviolis from scratch with multiple sauces. The class was very organized and easy to follow along with the materials for each dish already set aside. The instructors were very helpful and relatable. The venue itself was beautiful, spacious, and had amazing cookware! The final product was delicious and I was shocked that we made it. I will definitely be returning to Hudson table.

This was our first time at Hudson Table and we loved it. They are offering outdoor seating and contactless ordering right now. The chefs even came to our table and we had the opportunity to share our positive thoughts. Even though we dined here doing the pandemic, the service and experience was great. We will definitely be back! Shortly after writing this review, I had to come back and edit this because they brought out complimentary dessert for my group and thanked us again. Just further supports my rating!

My family and I went to Hudson Table last night for a vegan cooking class. It was absolutely amazing. Chef gave good information, the ice breakers were a lot of fun, and the most important part was that the food was delicious and plentiful. We had such fun and were so excited to cook in such a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back for another class and look forward to it.

I booked the Mystery Basket competition for my boyfriend's birthday. It was SO much fun. Such a unique event we got to take part in. Everyone was really nice and informative. We had the opportunity to interact with the chefs and try new foods. I am pescatarian, and I knew dietary restrictions could not be accommodated BEFORE booking. I had no problem eating around the one entrée prepared with meat and still left VERY full. I told everyone about our experience and still have not stopped raving about it. I cannot wait to go back!

I used Hudson Table for an event at my home. Doug and his team were great to work with and very professional. The menu they came up with was inventive and the food was delicious. I received rave reviews from my guests about the event for days after. Would definitely recommend!

Great experience, great fun! The Greek Seafood experience was a great way to learn how to cook Bronzini and the interactive staff ensured our meal was cooked to perfection. The stuffed calamari was fun to assemble and grill, and was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to going back with even more friends. BYOB

Went to a vegan Mexican cooking class. It's a BYOB so we enjoyed a bottle of wine (Giant is across the street and sells beer and wine if you're in a rush). There were 8 people in the class, and we had one chef and an assistant. Chef Ben was awesome!! Really nice, answered all of our rookies questions and was patient with our many mistakes (including one student who set the tortillas on fire). The meals were fairly easy to make, but we still learned some new techniques to take home. Food was delicious and there was plenty. They even gave us containers to take home leftovers. We really enjoyed the company of the other students. Even after we finished eating we stayed to continue conversation. It was a huge success and I highly recommend checking it out. Not just for date night! It's a great group activity for friends.
