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 Between the outdated online menu, several unavailable items, inconsistent food, & slow service, it's not a restaurant we would return to.

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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

Unfortunately I have to give a bad review to Taverna. First time last night, was looking forward to it all week, especially after hearing so much hype from others. However I was VERY disappointed in the quality of the food. I ordered the salmon tartare which came with their « homemade guacamole ». My husband ordered the lobster poutine. Surprisingly it came quite quickly, under 15 min, which was suspicious given the time it would take to make fries, prepare fresh lobster, & prepare a tartare.... My guacamole was BROWN. Like muddy green brown. Looked like it was 4-5 days old. I asked 2 servers if it was supposed to be like that as being a guac addict, i know well that not only is guac supposed to be VIBRANT GREEN but also brown=not fresh. First server basically brushed me off saying yeah yeah. 2nd had a worried face & went to ask the chef. (points to her) She returned saying yes, as it is mixed with a brown tamari sauce..... It didnt taste bad, salmon was fresh, however after googling « Guacamole with Tamari sauce », my suspicions were validated : GUAC IS STILL SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN! So not only do I believe they literally lied to me, they served a customer days-old brown-ass guac & tried to pass it off as « its mixed with brown sauce ». Husband also had 4 pieces of shell in his lobster poutine... Went home -60$ out, very hungry but no appetite. The only positives was that young 2nd waitress & my wine was chilled. Never going back. Sad...

We Just Love Taverna, this is one our most favorite places in the region, the dishes they prepare are delicious, light & thoughtful! The drinks are scrumptious, fresh & unique. The Madison spritz is the best cocktail ever. The staff are attentive, polite & thoughtful. If you are looking for a cozy night out, don't hesitate to make a reservation! 🥰🌅
