⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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

We chose this spot at the last minute on a Saturday before heading to a play at the Hudson Village Theatre, & we got there just in time before the place was fully booked. It was a wonderful surprise! We had just gotten back from a vacation in the maritimes & walking in there felt like we had never left. Their specialty is seafood & cocktails (but do have other choices) & my lobster roll was even better than the one I had in PEI! (I regret not taking a picture of it for this review). The stunning eclectic bar made us feel like we had walked into a secret speakeasy. The decor was very cool & classy & the bar stools / chairs were really comfortable. Loved their music playlist choices, playing at the perfect sound level so that it was easy to have a pleasant conversation. Paul, the restaurant manager/barman made us feel right at home & had a very refined, & delicate subtle attention to detail. It was also nice to see the chefs working & oyster chucking passionately & at ease in their open-concept kitchen. The Taverna is now our favourite hidden'pearl' in the area, & we look forward to going back.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica, the manager at Tawerna Raw Bar & Plancha, to organize my husband's 60th birthday party. From the start, Jessica exceeded every expectation, coming back the same day with a custom menu for 14 people that perfectly captured my vision. She listened to every detail & delivered an experience that was absolutely perfect. The chefs at Tawerna did an outstanding job-the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The entire staff was accommodating & helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly. Jessica's quick responses & attention to detail made the whole process stress-free. Tawerna is a true gem in Hudson Village, & I highly recommend Jessica & her team for your next event!

The seafood platter for two... chef's kiss. Right mix of lean & fatty meats, enough to satisfy even a hug appetite(s). I found the lobster tails a little small for my liking, but the flavour more than makes up for it. Yet another Hudson gem.
