One Red Door

The salads on the ORD menu deserve a special shout out. Salads can easily become dull afterthoughts, but not so here – they are generously portioned, with quality lettuces and a variety of deliciously fresh add-​ins. The Cobb salad was presented as a veritable mini buffet of proteins, veggies, and cheese. Every element was totally tasty and the sum was very filling.
The lemon and chocolate mousse plates were also quite strong, especially when ordered together and sampled in alternating bites! ORD has obviously become a staple of the Hudson dining scene, but it seems to continue to put out a dependably good product.

One Red Door is my go to restaurant when I’m in the area. The menu is fresh, the drinks are top notch, and you can’t beat the atmosphere. It’s upscale casual, meaning you’ll see people in suits and ties to others in nice shorts and shirts.
The food is crafty without being pretentious, such as pan roasted walleye with charred cherry tomatoes. Pizzas come in a wide variety. There are good vegetarian options too.
Overall this is a great little spot, and a definite must try.

This place has been on my to try list for years. I’m excited I finally got to give it a go; and I was not disappointed.
When we showed up around 10p on a Friday the patio was empty, the lights were off, etc… Since we had a dog though we had to sit out there so went in to ask if it would be okay. They happily sat us outside, changed the propane tank in the nearby heater to provide some warmth, and even volunteered to bring the dog a water bowl.
The Truffled Deviled Eggs ($ 6) were a good choice from the snack menu. They came with three egg halves and a slice of crispy prosciutto in each one (+$ 1).
Since I had eaten earlier in the night I just wanted something small so I got the tasting portion ($ 7) of the Lamb Bolognese Pasta. The house bucatini pasta was wonderful. The lamb sauce was flavorful and there was the perfect amount of it. Everything was topped with fresh basil and a just right amount of ricotta cheese.
The tasting portion was really small and it serves more as a one person appetizer than what one might consider a half or small portion compared to the full size. It was just what I wanted for this visit, but next time I come if I am more hungry I would seriously consider ordering the tasting portion of all 3 of the pastas just to try them and to create my own sampler entrée.
The only thing I could possibly find wrong with this place is that the butter served for the bread was so cold it was not spreadable. But this can be overlooked and I would happily return here again.
All the staff we encountered were beyond friendly and accommodating. Being located on a corner in retail development area the patio is nice and quiet with little traffic. The interior appeared very warm and inviting as well. And yes, the door is really red.

I really like this restaurant. I’ve begun to make a habit of dining here at least once every time I visit Hudson. The food never disappoints, and the staff seem to really enjoy serving customers and making recommendations.
We arrived quite early, at happy hour, and the bar was completely full. They set us up in a generously-​sized booth. We had two servers and they were incredibly friendly, full of good suggestions. The burger here is delicious. I always enjoy the warm spinach salad with it’s yummy zesty dressing and mouthwatering crumble of thick cut crisp bacon. Mmmm, getting an appetite just writing this.
The place has a cosy upscale vibe. It’s nice without being pretentious. You would be comfortable here coming straight from work in your business attire, or wearing jeans and a hoodie. It’s all good.
If you are in Hudson, make sure you dine here at least once. It’s the best restaurant in Hudson.

Excellent experience. Wife and I stopped in while randomly looking for someplace to eat. Impressed by nice atmosphere, and the décor. Charcuterie tray was good, good cocktail and beer selection. Several entrees sounded excellent. the stuffed pork chop that I got was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and we’ve done a lot of fine dining. Wife got the walleye and said it was good but not awesome. I’ll go back and there’s no way I’m not getting that pork chop again.

I haven’t been to One Red Door in years … literally years. Every time I used to go, I would leave feeling sick (and not because I ate too much). So I was a little hesitant to go back, but I thought that I would give it another shot. So I went for a different meal than just dinner … I went for brunch. I made a reservation on Opentable, but there wasn’t really anyone there when we got there (I still love the Opentable points though). The brunch menu had a lot of variety, and I ended up getting the chicken and waffles, and a side of hashbrowns (which were really potatoes). The food was amazing. Way too much though. I also liked that the chicken did not have any bones in it. It one of my pet peeves when I order chicken and waffles, and the chicken has bones in it. How am I supposed to eat it with syrup all over it if it has bones in it? Anyway, I highly recommend for brunch. It was a great experience, and it turned my opinion around about the restaurant.

No! This restaurant seems to be trying way too hard to be fancy. The food was good but too small of portions and it was trying too hard to be fancy for the sake of being fancy.

I really enjoy their weekend brunch, I can’t really speak to other times. My lobster brie omelette with wild mushrooms was delish!

Came in for saturday brunch with a party of 6 and overall it was a good experience. All of the food we had was quite good from the chicken bahn mi to the burger and the cobb salad. Server was very nice and accommodating and was timely. Girls at the front desk not so much. We didnt want to squeeze 6 people into a 4 top table and they were very reluctant to put 2 tables togther while the restaurant was not very full. Still would return again.

Meh. Meh service, meh food, Meh to being seated by the draft of the door, meh to the overpriced burger and streak, meh to the overpriced pricses. If I’m ever in the neighborhood again, I’d probably be smart to just go to Flip Side next door.

Wow! Late for bowling and husband hunts at this time of year. He wants MEAT! Our route takes us through Hudson so we decide to try Flipside — we have an hour to eat before lobbing 14+ pound balls down (overly) oiled lanes for 2 hours. When hubby drops me off at 1^st and Main to find a parking space, and a woman runs by me dragging her elderly mother in tow trying to beat me to the door, I realize there must be a line for Flipside. Yikes! There are people in line, people at the bar, and people congregating around the tables in Flipside. I (knowing that One Red Door shares a kitchen/​bar with Flipside) choose One Red Door for dinner. The hostess assures me that they can get us in and out in 45 minutes (which they do!)
I have dined at One Red Door a few times but my husband has never eaten there. We ordered the Truffled Deviled Eggs and Chicken Wings for appetizers. Ray had a draft seasonal beer and I had a red blend wine which were excellent! The waitstaff was attentive and helpful! The restaurant was dark and romantic and perfect for us! We were seated at a bar that was open to the kitchen. We watched a chef dressed in a Flipside coat make food for the people waiting in line next door. Why would you wait in line to save a few dollars?
We ordered hamburgers (with brie and fried scallions) for dinner… they were OUTRAGEOUSLY delicious! We talked with the chefs while they were cooking — it was so much fun! We were literally in and out of there in 45 minutes!
We were SO pleased with the staff and our «red carpet» treatment that we can’t wait to go back!

We had been to one red door twice before, both times of which were in the winter. We went this time on a Friday night in the summer when the weather was nice and sat outside on the patio. We got the charcuterie and cheese board with sopressata, prosciutto, black pepper feta, smoked gouda, and the blue cheese. We also split the grouper fish sandwich. My husband had a McKenzies pumpkin hard cider and I had a French martini. The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service was a little slow. Otherwise, the food was outstanding and the drinks were excellent. I finished the meal off with a cappuccino which is one of the better cappuccinos I have had. I really enjoyed the meal and sitting on the patio with the perfect weather was a nice bonus.

The boo and I stumbled upon this while walking around the shopping center and decided to stop in for drinks and snacks.
I forgot the name of my cocktail, but it was a gin and blackberry purée concoction and it was HEAVEN. it’s easily one of my favorite cocktails ever.
For snacks, we had the ahi tuna taco, deviled eggs, and the lobster gnocchi gratin. The ahi tuna taco is tiny – tiny as in you can eat it in two bites! It is served with a wasabi avocado purée. Less is more here. You only need a little bit to give the taco some flavor. The deviled eggs were good but nothing you haven’t had before at a cookout or party. I highly recommend the lobster gnocchi gratin as it was tasty! Lobster, gnocchi, asparagus, and peas. The dish definitely could have used more gnocchi though.
Some of the prices are a bit high in my opinion.

Very good, approaching excellent.
We’ve been several times, the most recent trip we did a variety of snacks and small plates. We started with an excellent Charcuterie plate, one of the best in the Cleveland area. The pork pâté was particularly excellent.
The tuna tartar Tacos were excellent, though the two little tacos were little more than two bites. The Truffled Deviled Eggs were very good. The Calamari and Shrimp was excellent, the best of the small plates. The Lamb Bolognese was very nice, the pickled chiles made it. I didn’t particularly like the Lobster gnocch, but my two companions did.
We each got a dessert and they were way too much for three people and frankly were just OK. I’d just skip the desserts in the future.
The waitress gave an excellent wine recommendation and was friendly and generally attentive. The place was busy but not too noisy or crazy.
For three people (who had a total of 5 drinks), it was $ 160 plus a tip. A little on the pricey side, and a solid very-​good.

Ended up here because Flip Side next door had a wait. One Red Door was pretty empty (it was about 7 p.m. on a Thursday).
The food was good — the bread and lemony butter we were served (inexplicably by a uniformed child?) before the meal was really good! I was so happy that my carb-​conscious boyfriend let me eat his bread, too.
The interior is beautiful.
I left pretty underwhelmed because I thought it was super expensive for food that is «good» or «pretty good». My entrée was $ 21 for two fish tacos… Huh? The burger is $ 19?
Also, the service was not what you would expect from a place that is trying to be «fine dining».
I guess a pretty good indication of where things go wrong here: There is a line almost literally out the door next door at Flip Side, which serves beer and hamburgers, and there were four or five tables of people at this «fancy place» next door.
Next time, we will wait for a table at Flip Side.

This review is for brunch only, &… feh. The service was snooty & unfriendly, not to mention surprisingly slow on a day when there were almost no other diners in the restaurant. We ended up here because FlipSide was too busy, & I was surprised to find that ORD was, well, not. At all. it crowded up a little bit as we ate, but for a reputable Hudson joint, I would’ve expected busier.
I ordered the chicken & waffles, which were, well, just plain old chicken & waffles — no seasoning, no sauce, no flavor, no nothing, aside from a little powdered sugar & some condiments on the side. It tasted fine, by virtue of both chicken & waffles being delicious, but it was nothing special — & was far more bland & uncreative than I’ve had in a long time. Want good chicken & waffles? Hit up Crave in Akron.
This place potential — awesome atmosphere, nice décor, a cozy feel — but it didn’t quite cut it for me as a brunch spot. The chicken & waffles were fine but not worth a return, although my friend said her burger was delicious & I can testify that her fries were AMAZING.
I’d go back to One Red Door, but probably only if it were, like, the most convenient meeting place & someone else suggested it.

Now that Downtown 140 has shifted its menu into more ordinary territory, One Red Door is my favorite «special occasion» restaurant in Hudson. Part of chef Shawn Monday’s empire, there are familiar favorites from the days when he was the executive chef at Downtown 140 (most notably and awesomely, the ahi tuna taco).
The menu is organized by «Snacks» (small-​to-​medium-​sized appetizers), «Small plates» (healthy-​sized appetizers), and «Large plates» (standard entrees), with some pizzas, vegetables, and a burger tossed in for good measure. Portion-​wise, I’ve found that two «snacks» and a «small» plate satisfies my relatively average appetite, but a «snack» or a «small» plus a «large» item won’t be overwhelming.
I always enjoy my meals here, and in addition to the aforementioned tuna taco, I’ve devoured with pleasure the chicken spring roll (snack), the clams (small), the crab cakes (snack), several of the fish entrees (some of which have been featured specials), and the deviled eggs (snack). Really, the only menu item I’ve ever had that hasn’t wowed me is the kale and cauliflower salad, which needs a slightly tangier or spicier dressing to enliven the veggies.
They now offer an entrée for vegans (rare around these parts), but I can’t speak to it personally.
Prices are good for this type of upscale experience; my Dad mentioned that his New York strip, which was a sizable cut and included potatoes and grilled romaine, was a virtual steal at $ 33. They have a nice list of good beers and about 12 (each) white and red wines by the glass. Full bar as well.
The atmosphere is stylish and sleek, and the service was spotty at first, but is getting better. Not a complaint at all the last two times I’ve been. Reservations available via OpenTable.

Cool spot. Brunch till 3! The food was really fantastic. I was really tempted to try the burger but it just seemed strange that it was on the pricier side of the menu. The other entrees didn’t disappoint however! One of our friends was a bit dismayed to see the crab cake dish only came with one standard size crab cake. Really seemed like there would have been two. Service was just mediocre. Nobody really wanted to be there. They also had the second door in the breezeway propped open when it was in the twenties outside. Got a nice arctic blast every time someone came or went. Regardless, the food and ambiance is nice. Just wished the staff fit the bill.

Good foodie place. Food is unique and good.
Snacks are tiny portions but scrumptious like the shisito peppers and ahi taco. You can order a Cheese boardman and charcuterie Board with a great wine selection. Entrees are pretty but the restaurant is super dark and service is snobby and yet too laxed.

Came with a large group of colleagues.
We had a huge array of appetizers; charcuterie and cheese, spring rolls, deviled eggs, fried calamari, clams casino and shishito pepper. All we excellent with the deviled eggs being the biggest hit.
I opted for a arugala salad and black bean soup for dinner. The salad was huge and came with a warm bacon dressing, cripsy lardons and a touch of cheese.
The soup was very good with a bit of cilantro crème fraîche and a wonderful somky flavor.
The drink list was extensive but I opted for a Hitachino White Ale which is always a great choice.
Service was very good and there were no issues.
