Restaurant Manor Rock

Dining at Manor Rock is a must if you’re in Hudson. Farm to table sounds like a cliche at this point, but the folks at Manor Rock offer literally the best, most mind-blowing version of this approach to fine dining. Expect to fall in love with flavors and dishes that are incredibly unique, stunningly executed, and which instantly taste like new classics! Cannot recommend highly enough! One detail: the gf bread is the best! And if the head cheese is available, get it! Best I’ve ever had, and I love the stuff!

Gorgeous meal and lovely staff who even showed us around the restaurant ! It is farm fresh!! The short rib was a high light as well as the charcuterie and seasonal salads

Exciting menu, attentive and knowledgeable staff and skillful execution of thoughtful dishes. Incredible wine list and cocktails! Manor Rock is such a great addition to the Hudson Valley (and has wonderful owners)! A must visit for sure!

Had an amazing time at Manor Rock! Our waiters Davin & Jackson were the best vibe, and the food was absolutely fantastic- better than anything we’ve had in the city! You can go there with your eyes closed, and prepare to be impressed. Elegant, complex and yet simple. Devil is in the details, and the chefs are masters! We will be returning :)

This was one of me and my husband’s top 3 meals of the year (if not the past couple of years)! First, the ambience inside the restaurant is lovely and cozy. Our wait staff was very kind and helpful. Lastly, the FOOD—wow. We ordered a small plate that consisted of rice, seafood, nduja, and morel mushrooms. For mains, we got the lamb loin (negi, cilantro, nuoc cham sauce) and golden chicken (parsnip puree, baby bok choi). The depth of flavor in all these dishes was exquisite and not overpowering. It’s also been a while since I’ve eaten something and couldn’t pinpoint all the flavors. The dishes are both straightforward yet new. I know I could never recreate those flavors on my own. I feel so lucky we got to have a meal here and would highly recommend.

Had the pleasure of dining at RMR this past weekend. I can't say enough about the food, staff and atmosphere at this warm and inviting restaurant; a culinary destination and a must (and regular) stop when in or near Hudson. A delicious chicory salad, a sampling of their special hams, perfectly seared pork chops with a fennel/mint side, and exquisite dessert(s) speak volumes about the skill, dedication and sophistication of the entire kitchen team. And, there's a thoughtful wine and spirits list, reasonably priced, with unique selections that stand alone and/or pair well with the menus. The restaurant is smartly divided for bar room, main, private and terrace dining, the lighting and vibe throughout perfect, and a fitting backdrop for the professional, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. The owners should be proud of what they've created, and how they brought their farm and vision to your table in the truest sense.

I rarely write reviews, and am very picky about food but feel compelled to let others know about this gem. We have a weekend house in the area, and regularly eat out in the area. I have eaten here several times now, and this is one of the best, if not the best, food in Hudson right IMO. And their addition of the patio seating out back is delightful!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The cocktails were exquisite, the food absolutely mouthwatering, and the service warm and attentive. The ambiance, music, and overall vibe made for a perfect anniversary evening—but the food! Every dish was outstanding. I can’t wait to return with the changing of the seasons to savor their seasonal offerings. Wow.

On March 15 we had the delight of dining with our son and daughter-in-law at Manor Rock (726 Warren St.) in Hudson, NY. First opened in late October of 2024, Manor Rock is located in a historic townhouse in Hudson and offers the quintessential farm-to-table dining experience--primarily from their farm located a few miles away in Taghkanic. My review for card-carrying members of team Cliff Notes: "Creative cuisine featuring mainly ingredients--vegetables and meats--from the Manor Rock farm in a lovely venue with engaged staff, at prices competitive with the Hudson dining scene." Everyone else is invited to continue reading. We were seated promptly at our reserved time at a round table in a cozy alcove at the front of Manor Rock. The menu, while not extensive, is filled with various sized options, designed and plated to share. Our primary server throughout the evening, Jax, advised us on how many dishes we should order after taking our drink orders. Our son ordered the evening drink special, a Maple Old Fashioned, my wife ordered a Pinot Grigio, our DIL ordered a non-alcoholic bitter called Ghia, and I order their non-alcoholic Negroni---the St. Agrestis (which was, by my taste, indistinguishable from an alcohol-ladened Negroni). Everyone really took their time savoring their drinks throughout the meal, along with water of course which was refreshed throughout the meal by the staff. Our courses started arriving promptly, a few before our drinks which was okay with us since we had already enjoyed a round of cocktails at The Here After (just around the corner from Manor Rock--721 Columbia St.) beforehand (along with an appetite-enhancing bowl of anchovy buttered popcorn). First to arrive was the Sparrowbush bread (locally baked) and a tub of soft, salted butter along with a plate of house-make pickles. The bread was fresh, slightly warm, with a lovely, spongy texture. The pickles--an assortment of golden beets, sliced fennel, and florets of cauliflower were crisp and tart in a properly savory way. Next up a salad of assorted chicories with gold tangerine, candied pecans and small cubes of Pecorino sardo. This was an incredible collection of unusual chicories which were both delicate and flavorful. Apologies for not getting a photo of this attractive dish. Along with the salad, we enjoyed a dish of Butter beans, maple bacon in a smoked broth with chermoula and grilled bread for soaking up the rich broth. Nothing was left on any of the plates during our feeding frenzy. The third round of dishes featured the stuffed roasted leeks, natascha gold potatoes, dried basil all presented over a really rich Champagne-infused raclette. While the leeks were a little difficult to cut, the taste was luscious, though the taste-star of this dish IMO was the raclette. My personal favorite dish of the evening also arrived with the leeks--Crab panisse, green garlic aioli, pickled celery and lardo. The green garlic aioli was on the bottom of the plate holding the panisse made of quinoa flour on top of which rested the fresh crab meat, a small amount of pickled celery and paper-thin slices of lardo. It was a fascinating combination of flavors which everyone raved about. I immediately put in an order for a second round of those so we could enjoy the sensation again. Our final savory course was a grilled coppa steak, spigarello, and porcini sauce charcutière. I've never seen coppa steak on a menu before and knew we had to try it. Also known as pork collar steak, coppa is a cut of pork from the shoulder, specifically the neck muscle extending down to the shoulder. It was an amazing taste treat--served medium-rare, the steak was luscious and rich, a nice contrast to the slight bitterness of the roasted spigarello (which is similar to broccolini). The sauce, made with porcini mushrooms, was sumptuous enough to drink on its own--though we resisted the temptation to do so. While we were all well satiated--though not stuffed--we had to try one of their desserts. Our DIL chose the honey ice cream with a rhubarb granita. What a splendid taste to end the meal--the rich, sweetness of the ice cream balanced wonderfully against the tartness of the granita. This was served in an ice-cold, old-fashioned silver ice cream cup illustrating the attention to detail which characterized our entire dining experience at Manor Rock. It was a memorable dining experience and there are so many others to be had in Hudson's vibrant bar and restaurant scene.

I've now been to manor rock several times and i've been consistently impressed. Their farm to table menu is small but focused and surprises with impressive iterations on classics; there is obvious passion from cook staff present in each creation. Their steak had a beautiful crust and while i am usually averse to sauces i had to respect the pickled miniature peppers and lardons on a rich demiglace that complimented sumptuous dry aged beef without distracting from it. A personal first for me, their seared chicken thigh was full of delicious rendered brown fat that had me excited to enjoy fine dining chicken seriously who makes seared chicken exceptional? Sides are excellent with in season ingredients. Overall a delicious and unpredictable experience that delights and surprises.

Great dining experience. All the food was prepared perfectly, with fresh ingredients and interesting combinations.

This restaurant shines in an area with a lot of upscale places to choose from. The leek potato appetizer was scrumptious and the grilled red snapper was done perfectly. I woke up thinking about it! The wait staff is so attentive and gracious, soft spoken, and they have a terrific wine steward who really knows his stuff. Overall, a very memorable meal.

My only hesitation in writing a review is not wanting to contribute to the inevitability of not being able to book a table here. Exceptional food and a truly phenomenal experience- easily the best meal we've ever had anywhere in the Hudson Valley. Inventive menu perfectly executed and beautifully plated- the chicory salad is an Old Dutch Master come to life. And the red oak profiterole for dessert cannot be topped. Service, too, was excellent- warm and friendly but polished and attentive. Highly recommend.
