I was pleasantly surprised. Great brunch and party atmosphere. Service was a little slow but they were very accommodating and nice. The food was good, portions were ok. We went for brunch and had a party of 10. We ordered a drink before the group arrived. I got a mango margarita. It was good but I was not happy with the price. Picture attached $20 for my margarita, definitely not worth $20. The music was good and it was clean. I do wish they had a bathroom on the main floor because walking up the stairs while in heels and drinking was not fun. I will definitely go back, especially for a group brunch.

Absolutely loved our day brunch at Skinny’s Cantina! This gem on the Hudson was the perfect spot for a ladies’ day out. From the moment we arrived, the vibe was fantastic—everyone was so welcoming and the staff matched our energy, making us feel right at home. The food was good and the drinks definitely hit the spot; they really knew how to keep the fun going! Plus, it felt like the DJ was in tune with our vibe, playing all the right tracks to keep us dancing. We had an unforgettable time just enjoying each other’s company, and Skinny’s made it all the more special. Highly recommend for any girls’ day out!

Went on a Sunday for Brunch. It’s not that easy to find parking. As I entered, I was thoroughly patted down. I don’t think this place is to safe, and I was told they had problems there the last few nights. I stayed anyway because it was raining, and didn’t want to travel anywhere else. Brunch is $42.99 per person. Each person gets an appetizer, and a entree off the brunch menu. You also get one pitcher for the table; Mimosa, or Sangria. I ordered the White Sangria. After the first cup, it tasted like water. Half the pitcher stayed on the table. The staff is not that attentive. It took the waitress ten minutes to even come over to the table, and it wasn’t that crowded. The Buffalo Wings, & BBQ Wings are good. The Tilapia Tacos were okay, but lacking taste. Overall, I wasn’t a big fan of this place.

I was so happy to be invited to this restaurant. When my friend and I arrived, we parked on the street nearby. We walked up and saw there was indoor and outdoor seating. It was raining so no one was outside. We walked in and were greeted by the female manager. I totally forgot her name, but she was nice and accommodating. She sat us, and Erica was our server. While new, she was on point! I loved her energy, and she was super attentive.
We started with the sangria pitcher, and the awesome female bartender hooked us up with some specialty cocktails. The frozen margarita I had was so great! My friend enjoyed her coconut cocktail! For our appetizers, we both got wings, and the sweet chili wings were ok.
Now it was time for entrées and I got the fajitas which were tasty and plenty to eat. My friend got the steak and eggs and she enjoyed them! The vibe was great, the DJ was off the chain, and the service was good as well! I really enjoyed my time!

Had a really good time !! Went for brunch and the food was delicious. We got a few dishes but the French toast was really yummy we also did the bottomless mimosas which was a good choice
The DJ was hilarious and did a great job of getting the crowd moving and up and dancing which was soo much fun !! Literally almost everyone was dancing and having fun. It’s perfect for warmer weather since it’s a lot of outdoor seating.

They gave me a plastic fork with my mom’s steak and eggs order. I order the chicken fajitas and there was literally 5 mini pieces of chicken. Overall; the food was good, nothing to rav about. They do play a lot of hip hop. We requested latin/hispanic music and they played it for like 6 minutes .. maybe. But very hip hop oriented (we went Saturday for brunch).

We had the pleasure of being served by Terrance LaBoyd at Cantina on Hudson in NYC, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Terrance was attentive, accommodating, patient, and genuinely committed to making our experience exceptional. He went above and beyond by taking photos for us, adjusting our order to meet our specific needs, and consistently exceeding our expectations.
It’s clear that Terrance has a true passion for hospitality, and his dedication and kindness made our visit memorable. I am grateful for servers like him who take such pride in their work and deliver a genuinely outstanding dining experience. Much gratitude, Terrance.

My first time. My last time. Food and service were amazing however, the ridiculous charges on our bill were crazy. Our total arrived amounted to $119. We had food and beverage taxes (not combined in one tax) and other miscellaneous fees which resulted in our bill being $153. No baby, we have money and we’ve been to better places. Never have I seen charges like this. I eat Waygu and Tomahawk steaks on a regular in NYC and have never seen charges as such. Great vibes; over priced drinks. A sangria glass was $18. Why? Happy hour beverages are not happy hour prices. Please do better
