I was so happy to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary on September 16th, 2018, and Harvest on Hudson Restaurant made it all the more memorable! Just feet from the Hudson River, 20 of our friends and family gathered for a beautiful evening that involved great food and lots of pictures!

Harvest on Hudson is breathtaking with no only scenic river views, but their own seasonal vegetable garden that you can wander through and see what’s probably going to be in your salad. We saw peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens and eggplant just to name a few. Wait staff breezed by every now and then to cater to outdoor guests seated throughout the patio all evening.

Offering a Mediterranean Italian menu, Harvest on Hudson has much of a European flare with their attention to detail, color, presentation and fresh cooking, yet there is a welcomed casual atmosphere through it all. While waiting for some of our party to arrive, we soaked up the setting sun rays ourselves meandering though their garden and patio and eventually to the river itself.

When we all gathered in the main dining room for dinner it was just in time to see the sun setting over the horizon through the large windows that capture the view. But dinner was just as enjoyable. No one was surprised at how fresh and flavorful the salad was, and our main courses were cooked to perfection. For our party we had selected a catered menu, but the a la carte menu offers something for every taste. I will need to return to experience more of their offerings as the great impression had already been made.

The warm interior design made it hard to realize the passing of time. Harvest on Hudson is not a breeze in, breeze out restaurant. As in Mediterranean culture, life is best enjoyed when your taking your time, especially if it involves being with family and friends. And so our small celebration was made that much more enjoyable with that precious truth in mind. A sincere thank you was made to management and the wait staff for their attentiveness and gracious service. They could not have been more kind.

For those of us who are local, a return visit to Harvest on Hudson is on the calendar, but this time to celebrate life itself and the privilege of living in the Hudson Valley!
