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.

I'm not a sea food lover but my wife is; I came here to please my wife. I had the tuna & she had the sea bass. I can honestly say that I am leaving here a sea food lover after my meal. My wife & I both agree, the best grilled fish in the area. Compliments to Chef Jay. Our server Heather was also fantastic; so welcoming & friendly. I strongly recommend this restaurant for the food, but also the wonderful service & atmosphere. Bravo

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Outstanding & Immersive!
The Taverna Raw Bar & Plancha is a true gem! We have lived in the Hudson area for years & this is by far the best licensed restaurant in the area.
The open concept makes it very intimate & personal. Being able to interact with Chef Jay & request dishes prepared in a custom manner, with Maitre d'D Paul offering an excellent wine selection & Heather covering with mixologist drinks, makes for a truly memorable gastronomic evening. Head Chef Tino ensures a amazing menu of bold flavours & flawlessly fresh oysters, fish & sea food. A must-visit! Jean C

The three Tartares were OK with the tuna the standout, the salmon good & the beef tasty but not cut fine enough & a little too chewy for my taste. The three thin slices of pork belly were well cooked & tasty. The main course should have been the highlight as it was the rarely available Chilean Sea Bass. The tiny, a quarter pound.or less, piece of fish was totally overwhelmed by a robust Mediterranean sauce. The sauce was tasty but the very expensive piece of fish could have been any well cooked white fish. The fries were not as good as they used to be - standard oven fries available at any supermarket.

The server was very nice but all of the tables next to us on the patio had not been cleared so not the best ambience. It would have taken 2 mins to clear up the mess. 1. The clam chowder came out brown & cold the first time - 2nd time it was white, creamy & hot & was actually quite nice. 2. The salmon tartare had no flavour & was on a base of watery guacamole that looked like it came out of a package 3. The tuna tartare was tasty but the fish looked like it had been cut with a blunt knife or put through a blender. The octopus was actually quite nice. So 1 out of 4 dishes made for a pretty dissapointing meal. To finish the night off a local drunk got kicked out of the restaurant & proceeded to run up & down main with bare feet - which was the highlight of the night.
