Hudson House, the East Coast-inspired concept from Vandelay Hospitality Group, is set to open their Preston Hollow location on Monday, April 22 in Preston Forest Village, in the former Corner Bakery Cafe, at 11700 Preston Rd, Suite 880, Dallas, TX 75230. This is the eighth Hudson House location and sixth in the DFW metroplex.
The original Hudson House opened in Highland Park in 2017 and quickly became a neighborhood favorite for lunch, dinner and happy hour. Patrons know the restaurant for its cheeseburgers, flown-in-daily East Coast oysters, the “World’s Coldest Martini” and interiors reminiscent of a New England dining institution. The restaurant and raw bar is inspired by the adored neighborhood joints of the West Village in New York City.
Hunter Pond, Founder of Vandelay Hospitality Group says of this new location in a statement, “Hudson House offers East Coast comfort food perfect for lunch, dinner, happy hour or brunch. We’re looking forward to bringing another concept to Preston Hollow in addition to D.L. Mack’s which we opened last fall.”
The Hudson House menu features coastal-inspired dishes and the raw bar. Dishes include Hudson’s Avocado Dip made with whipped avocado, green onion, herbs and ranch chips; The Cheeseburger – thin patties, American cheese, pickles, and Hudson sauce (special in-house recipe); Chicken Parm, classically prepared with creamy tomato pasta and reggiano; and American Tuna Tower – fresh ahi tuna, mashed avocado, English cucumber, mixed local greens and radishes, B & W sesame seeds, drizzled with wasabi vinaigrette. From the Raw Bar, specialty seafood tower, The Bouquet includes a spread of specialty East Coast oysters, shrimp cocktail with chipotle remoulade, princely cut snow crab claws, and tuna tartare.
To pair, the drink selection is known for the “World’s Coldest Martini” with options such as The Classic; Bleu & Gold – vodka, olive juice, bleu cheese salt, and housemade bleu cheese olives; Lemon Drop – lemon vodka, fresh lemon juice, Limoncello foam; and The Espresso – vodka, espresso, Kahlua and Bailey’s. Other standout cocktails include the Frozen Bellini; Strawberry Spritz – strawberry Aperol, grapefruit and prosecco; Spicy Mexican – socorro reposado, jalapeño, cucumber, and fresh lime; Manhattan – rittenhouse rye whiskey, vermouth and angostura bitters.
The space will have its trademark warm leather booths, large wraparound bar, an outdoor patio, and a large sit-down raw bar.
