Editorial Review for Hudson's on the Bend – by Susan Kirr
In Short
Set in an old cottage and nestled in a bend of the Colorado River, this place oozes warmth and intimacy. Bold paintings in a bright, fierce palette warm up the creamy white walls, while a fire blazes in the hearth. It is an excellent setting for festive, holiday meals as well as everyday celebrations. Inventive dishes abound, from a moist duck-tamale stuffing to the lovely pheasant in mole sauce to pecan-smoked kangaroo and ostrich.

Insider Tips
Where to SitThe restaurant tends a voluptuous garden in summer, overflowing with herbs and flowers. In winter, a powerful heater warms the rustic stone patio.

From the gardens, to the intimate seating in the cottage, to the wonderful food, everything is A+. My husband and I went to Hudson's for our 1st date 15 years ago and still love it everytime we go. We try and go at least twice a year. It is a special occasion restaurant to us and lives up to every bit of a special occasion. Customer service is impeccable, wine list is fabulous, presentation is wonderful, and the portions are perfect. It is pricey, but well worth the money! Enjoy!!
Pros: Easy access and easy parking
Cons: A little expensive, but worth it..

I thoroughly enjoyed my evening here. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I was on a date, and between the two of us we ordered the rattlesnake fritters, the bore and the elk. The rattlesnake fritters were undoubtedly one of the best items I have eaten in my entire life. Their pistachio crust along with chipotle sauce was great. The bore was good but nothing all that special in our opinion. The elk, however, was fantastic and the sauce that accompanied it really worked well. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, but with the warning that the prices are indeed up there. In terms of portion sizes, I felt they were appropriate for the entrees, but I did want the appetizers to be a little larger. However, I feel Americans (a category in which I am included) are spoiled into thinking that a plate should be completely covered in food in order to be satisfying. If you can get over this, and accept some white areas on your plate, this restaurant choice will not be regretted.
Pros: Food
