Black Rooster Bistro

The entrance is like a speakeasy - small door, down a flight of stairs into a dark room with a large bar - fun. Two drinks we really fun - the smokey nightly special and the hibiscus happiness. Both were excellent. We bypassed the octopus and ricotta dumplings and jumped right into dinner - the bistro burger and the walleye. Both were nicely presented, hot and delicious. I upgraded to the fries - super thin & crispy. The potion was large enough to be shared. But it also doomed any chance of trying for desert. We will be back, try more items, and be more strategic so that warm brownie can make an appearance.

Such an amazing place. I don't know where to start...it was an average -5 degree day and we walked in to the back door and followed the picture of the black rooster down the steps below. We went through the black velvet curtain to our reserved table and the rest is history. An amazing waitress, atmosphere, the drinks....don't get me started. I called the next day for the recipe of the old fashioned and they gave it to me! I 100% won't be able to do it justice but my God was it good. So was the Paloma, proper lady and the something berry much. Now we get to the food....A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. As if the drinks weren't enough the food came, perfectly proportioned and every bite was better than the last. Every bite meant something. Every meal was so thoughtfully prepared. So good. So amazing. 1000% we

I have been to Black Rooster Bistro several times over the last few months. It never disappoints. I’ve really enjoyed the charred Zucchini Appetizer that has been available recently. The Long Bone Pork Chop is incredible over a bed of crispy potatoes. My Favorite may be the Grilled Lamb Dish with the fried green chic peas. I really appreciate their attention to details on each dish. Also the changing menu and using many locally sourced items is incredible. Can’t wait to get back for my next great dining experience!!!

Black Rooster is a winner. 4 people each with different fare. One is vegetarian and I forgot to say something when I called for a table. Which, call them if you want reservation. We were seated promptly without wait. Water delivered right away followed by wait staff for drinks. I had Catch Her in the Rye and it was excellent. So I had 2. Others had cocktails and they were all very good. They have a great menu but also specials you may find featured on FB. For hors d'oeurves we had a special item andthe ricotta dumplings and mushroom soup. Both fantastic. The vegetarian had a great pasta made on the fly. If you tell them in advance when getting a table they may have time to be even more creative. If I can say anything about everything, it's that each dish, concoction, dessert was creative a

A hidden gem tucked below Main Street in downtown Hudson. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet elevated. We started with the Beef Tartare, our first time trying it, and it blew us away. The tender beef paired perfectly with horseradish, cheddar, and tangy cornichons, while the crispy chips and brioche made each bite irresistible. For the main course, the Shrimp Fettuccine was outstanding—fresh homemade noodles, plump shrimp, and a spicy chili butter sauce layered with herbs, peas, corn, and green onion. Simply unforgettable. Cocktails were a highlight as well: the Cherry Mule, Meritage Sour, and Campfire Old Fashioned were all balanced and beautifully crafted. We finished with the Budino, a decadent peanut butter and chocolate dessert with pretzel crumb that
