Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Upper West Side

Incredible experience, perfect service and food, amazing atmosphere, John the waiter and the team did everything to make us feel special and enjoy the food. I highly recommend Blu at the Hudson for any occasion it’s a very special place.

Really excellent food with large portions. It was served quickly but not too quickly and didn’t have to wait for the check. It is loud and the tables are tight. I prefer to sit outside during the summer but no choice during winter.

The food and ambiance are both exceptional. The restaurant's energy radiates cozy chic with notes of warmth and winsome furnishings, notably the upholstered chairs that neither bother the lower back nor hinder the hindquarters, ya feel? The food is a master stroke in Italian fare, with distinctive craft cocktails to match. The signature Oggi gin martini pairs Portofino gin with – not vermouth – but a small-batch bay leaf digestif from the Amalfi coast that evokes the holiest of cows from both the religiously reluctant and lactose ill-inclined lol. The food was yum yum in my tum tum and me most likey the flamey beets and noodles with quack quack. The little gem caesar salad was both a gem and the Caesar to my Roman empire okayyyyy?! P.S. Lexi was our server and she nailed not only the recommendations, but also the way she divided the courses for us. Mamá slayed the house down sneaks with her complete mastery of long division. Work!

Menu is full of interesting choices compelling me to go back again. A little noisy. Overall well worth it!
