I had heard great things about Hudson's. I was prepaared for the high prices. What I was not prepared for were the microscopic appetiser portions. Come on, two scallops on a plate for $20. And a good thing they didn't cook the Tuna Tartare, it silver dollar sized portion would have disappeared.\r

The entrees varied from great to not so good. The wild boar was gamey. The bison on the mixed grill was tough, and I mean really tough! The bison stuffed with venison sausage was excellent, but the beans on the side tasted like they came out of a pork and beans can. The duck and snapper were also good.\r

As for dessert, don't get the fruit. We counted about ten berries, so for $10, that's a dollar per berry.\r
\r
As a nice touch since it was my wife's birthday, they brought out a pound cake dessert (which no one ordered) topped with a candle - and then charged us for it!\r
\r
For icing on the cake, our no so friendly wait person added a 20% tip to our bill for us. In our case that meant she got paid $50 an hour for the two hours we were there, but since she was only at our table for 10 minutes an hour - gee, I wish I got paid that much!\r

Well, we went, we were mildly impressed, and will not be back. Fellow diner beware.
Pros: Some good food.
Cons: Some bad food.
