About

Taverna Raw Bar & Plancha specializes in the preparation of ocean-forward fare, highlighting the freshness of raw seafood alongside the distinct textures achieved through high-heat grilling. The menu emphasizes precise knife work in various tartare preparations, ensuring that the integrity of the primary proteins remains the focal point of every dish. Plancha cooking methods utilize intense, direct heat to sear ingredients rapidly, locking in natural moisture and creating robust flavor profiles. This culinary approach bridges the gap between delicate raw compositions and the bold characteristics of charred, fire-kissed proteins. Patrons engage with a focused menu that prioritizes seasonal accessibility and technical execution. The space facilitates a direct interaction with these varied cooking styles, emphasizing a clean, ingredient-driven presentation that relies on the inherent quality of sustainably sourced seafood and diverse regional produce.

Came here as a group of 4 on a Thursday. Was not busy so our service was phenomenal. I cannot remember our waitress' name but she was excellent with great recommendations.

We did a giant plancha with a mix of meat & seafood. I would say it is HEAVILY salted, but I loved it all & thought it was delicious! We also added some cooked oysters in the shell which were incredible.

This is a hidden gem in Hudson that should be shouted out to the world! What a great addition to the restaurant scene in the area (even though it's not really that new!).

Will be back - thank you!

We decided to try Taverna Raw Bar & Plancha because we saw the seafood tower advertised online, but when we arrived we were told it was from an old menu & is no longer offered. That was disappointing, & unfortunately it wasn't the only item they were out of.

We ordered a Prosecco, but they had run out. To their credit, they upgraded us to a nicer bottle of rosé bubbly for the same price, which we appreciated. We also ordered a dozen oysters but they only had six left.

The food was a mixed bag. The tuna tartare was fresh but needed more seasoning. The clam chowder was just okay. We expected the charred cauliflower to be a warm side dish, but it was actually served as a cold salad. The grilled octopus was underwhelming-just one tentacle-& although we ordered fries with it, we were served a few wilted vegetables instead.

Service was slow even though the restaurant was nearly empty. The servers were friendly & polite, so no complaints there.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience. Between the outdated online menu, several unavailable items, inconsistent food, & slow service, it's not a restaurant we would return to.

Chef Ryan is amazing. The special was the Mushroom Toast & it immediately made my all-time appetizer list. Oysters were also over the top. Not one was out of place. Octopus was perfectly tender & charred it melted on my knife. Thank you for the amazing night!
