We have gotten to like Saint Florian, which we had avoided initially because the menu was very limited. It has since been expanded so there are quite a few good options.

We love the buffalo skate cheeks, and the house-made sausages are excellent. Battered cod, wagyu burger and meat loaf are our favorite main courses.

The other recent discovery is Taiga, which serves Russian and Eastern European cuisine with a creative twist.

The atmosphere is opulent and colorful, service attentive. It’s highly unusual to find this kind of food in the area, so it’s a very nice addition to the Hudson dining scene. We really enjoyed the food, but the quantities are huge, so I recommend going with a group of at least 4 in order to try several dishes, which can be shared. This was what the waiter suggested. Prices are high, so we ended up spending a lot because we were only 2, and we couldn’t finish all the food. I would gladly go again if we have more people.
