Hudson Restaurant & Events

A bit disappointed. The website looked promising and the (all you can eat) "Barn Tasting" for dinner looked like a tasteful adventure. So reserved a table for 4 on a Friday evening. Arrived by car. Parking in front of the building was full, so had to park on an adjoining field, designated as parking. When we walked into the restaurant we found the reception pedestal unmanned. Accosted a waiter and he told me somebody would be there in a minute. The guy came and he then confirmed our reservation and took us to our table on the ground floor. Interior of the restaurant is as on the website, although a bit less "warm" in lighting. Our table looked nice: 1 large leather sofa, a wooden table and two comfortable seats facing the sofa. A very bubbly, friendly waitress then came to take our drinks order and to explain how the barn tasting concept works. She was hard to understand unfortunately because music was blurting out of a speaker that was mounted overhead about 9 feet up and pointing downward. That proved to be a continued nuisance throughout the evening because it was hard to have a conversation. Food you have to get yourself from a central area where food is prepared by various cooks. Basically several different "cuisines": potatoe dishes, fish, Italian(?), meat (the butcher) and Asian. Each cuisine has a few dishes you can order, which the cooks then will prepare. Then a salad bar, a fruit / dessert bar and sushi in a corner, just to the right of the entrance. Only the drinks you can order from the waitresses/waiters. Getting your food proved to be time consuming: you often had to wait in line before you could order and then of course you had to wait for the food to be prepared. This resulted in people spending a lot of time away from the table, which does not contribute to a sense of having a nice evening out together. The food itself is prepared without love, on automatic pilot. In general the taste is a bit bland. Annoying as well was the fruit and salad bar often running out of fruits /salads and it taking too long to get them refilled. Soft ice machine was out of order. Getting a waiter's attention to order more drinks also tests your patience. So the concept is far from ideal. Would be better if you could order the various dishes from a menu at the table, either digitally or through a waitress, and then have the dishes brought to your table.

The best all-you-can-eat concept! This restaurant was so good, that I wrote my first review here on Google. The concept is very nice. There are multiple open kitchens where you can order fresh food as much as you want. There is no limitations on how much portions you can get with one order. Also, even if it's bad, you can give food back without paying more. Its not nice to throw food away, but sometimes it's not tasty or something like this. The prices for drinks are also ok. And the atmosphere is really impressive. A modern barn with high roof and comfortable light. Last but not least, the employees are all very friendly and they even gave us tips for our stay in Den Haag. We bought our dinner with social deal.

The various options are quite nice and the food was good for the most part, although the "sushi" could be much better and the lobster was overcooked. The downsides are waiting at each kitchen for an order makes actually enjoying various dishes very time-consuming and inconvenient as everyone is scattered.

It is a nice place and our little kids love the playground. During the lockdown their drive in concept has been wonderful! Good job

Great place for a family date! The play area is fantastic and the food was very nice. Would definitely go back!
