Lovely spot in the garden for lunch. The service was good and food was good overall. We were surprised how the portions more main entree pastas felt a bit small but starters and desserts were larger. It’s good for a sit down meal with lots of light in the main room. We did not need a reservation mid-afternoon.

Located within New York’s Botanical Gardens, the Hudson Garden Grill is a great place to sit, eat, and enjoy the scenery around you. The fare offered ranges from simple to more elegant, and the service is excellent. While reservations are recommended, we walked in and were promptly seated.

I visited 7 years ago with my mom and had the best experience. We even still cook a recipe from then, it was a thyme and honey goat cheese with grilled bread. Went back with my husband in August and it was a nice break before the Van Gogh show…but the food was gritty and unimpressive. The limeade was tasty. My husband enjoyed his burger. But the service was rushed and he seemed annoyed to be working, ha.

Visiting family in NY and we decided to stop off at the botanical gardens grill. Very disappointing food options. For a place that is meant to attract visitors and tourists of all ages, they really should offer more for all types of people. The atmosphere isn’t all that welcoming or friendly either. Clearly not meant for regular folks. Way over priced!

This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I’m so glad we chose it for lunch! I came with my husband and was a bit nervous at first—it looked quite packed and I did not have a reservation.
The hostess was incredibly accommodating and managed to seat us at a large table right away. She even apologized for the size of the table, but we actually love to sit side by side, so it worked out perfectly!
We had initially asked to sit at the bar because it looked so cozy and had these beautiful orchids—definitely planning to sit there next time (and yes, this experience has already given me a reason to return!).
I wish I remembered everyone’s names, because every staff member we interacted with—or even observed—was so warm, friendly, and welcoming. The hospitality here is truly unmatched.
The menu had so many tempting options that I had a hard time deciding. I ended up ordering a vegan dish that sounded light and refreshing—but I have to admit, I ended up eating my husband’s cheeseburger and fries instead! It was absolutely delicious—100/10!
Our waiter noticed that I was enjoying my husband’s meal more than mine and kindly offered to bring me another dish, but I was already so happy and content that I didn’t feel the need. To top it off, he offered us cocktails from the bar, which was such a thoughtful gesture.
There also seemed to be a manager walking around constantly to check on guests and staff which I appreciated as going above and beyond. This gem provided a resort-like feel experience. Everything—from the service to the atmosphere—was simply amazing.
I can’t wait to come back!

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Hudson Garden Grill in the New York Botanical Gardens on the Tuesday afternoon following Valentine’s Day, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience! The ambiance was nothing short of enchanting, reflecting the beauty of the ongoing orchid show with vibrant yellow décor that made the entire setting burst with life.
The menu was a celebration of brightness and flavor, with each dish thoughtfully crafted to highlight the stunning colors of the park. The drinks, aptly named “Blossoms,” were not only delicious but perfectly matched in their vivid yellow hues, adding to the festive atmosphere. Even the aprons worn by the staff were bright yellow, demonstrating the restaurant’s attention to detail and commitment to a cohesive experience.
Our server, Stephen, was a true gem! His dedication to perfection and attentiveness to our needs truly elevated our dining experience. From the moment we were greeted by the welcoming host to the impeccable service provided throughout our meal, it was clear that every team member is passionate about delivering excellence.
I can’t wait to bring my sister and daughter back for a beautiful girls’ day out. This charming spot in the heart of the gardens has become one of my favorite places, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a stunning meal in an equally stunning environment. Thank you, Hudson Garden Grill, for an incredible afternoon filled with joy, beauty, and unforgettable memories!

It was okay. They close at 3, I was seated at 2:30, and food was out by 2:40 it was insanely fast. Everything I got was pretty good, my friend got the chicken salad and she loved it. The local sautéed greens were great. Menu was clearly labeled for dietary restrictions, multiple drink options that were non-alcoholic. I would come again.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary here today and had a lovely experience. We reserved a table for two and took the train after work—about 20 minutes from Manhattan ($7+$7 ).
The setting is quiet, the atmosphere is charming, and service was generally attentive. As vegetarians, we were happy to find plenty of options, and everything we ordered was delicious.
We’re NYBG members and visit often, so we’d been wanting to try this spot. The only downside: they were out of sparkling rosé.
We asked for an Italian sparkling brut but received Cava instead (which is Spanish), so I’d rate service a 4/5 for that mix-up. Otherwise, everything was great, and we’ll definitely be back. Beautiful place and a relaxing escape in the city.

We were visiting the Botanical Garden on Mothers’ Day and got hungry so decided to try this place for lunch! We didn’t have a reservation but were able to make one for about an hour & 15 minutes later for outside dining on their patio. The outdoor dining vibe is more casual that indoors, but it actually suited us better since we had little kids dining with us and they were free to go and chase some squirrels or run around while we waited for our food! The food was great, the burrata was our favorite, even the kids loved it! I could have licked the plate to be honest, loved the cheese and all the sauces and veggies! The kids meals were good enough, they’re about $15-19 each and include a beverage. One my kids had the pasta with butter sauce which they liked and the other had the chicken tenders with French fries. I had the salmon dish, the salmon was amazing but I did not love the accompaniments, the grains were fine but the carrots were basically raw, I would have preferred them more cooked. The service was great, the food came out quickly and overall this was a great dining experience for us! It’s def on the pricey side (almost $200 for lunch with tip included) but in my opinion def worth it!!
