Tomato Grill

Not so great service from the waitress. Had to find her to get the bill
The food was way overpriced in comparison for what you get. Nothing special. The presentation was not good. Too mundane for the prices.

My boss took me to Tomato Grill for a business lunch. This was my first time at this restaurant and everything was great. Food and service was excellent so I don’t really understand the negative reviews from some people.

Ambience, service 5 stars. Food 3.5 stars. So overall 4 stars. Ordered crab cakes for appetizers and I had the Chicken Saltimboca and wifey had Eggplant Parmigiana. Both were between okay and good and not great. Our server was nice and the location and ambience was nice too, food was good but I have had better italian food before hence only 4 stars. I would definitely try them again.

One of the best restaurants around. Love the chicken saltimbacca! Only complaint is dinner pricing is 50% higher than lunch yet portion size is not that much bigger.

So this is the spot that my cousin chose for our post-​celebration dinner on a Saturday night. We had reservations for our party of 8 and were seated promptly. Our server was great and rolled with our nonsense which was lovely.
The food was excellent. I am a 3^rd coast seafood snob but had been assured by my relatives (who grew up in Louisiana and know) that the seafood was of great quality. And they were right, the shrimp and scallop cappellini was delicious. I also enjoyed my boston bibb salad, the gorgonzola kept it from being too sweet. Judging from the clean plates from the rest of my group, I’d say that everyone enjoyed their meals.
Various wines and beers were enjoyed by our group. I ordered the cucumber martini with vodka and it was OK. Definitely need some other non-​sweet cocktails on their menu.
Then, of course, we had to have desserts. We had both the special candy cane brulee and rasberry brulee. They bring out a big tray with all the desserts of the day when you ask, so be prepared to be tempted. They all looked delish.

a fan. its a quiet place that is bright with good food. We kind of forget about the place, living in Hudson, because we do not pass it. 90% of the time we go for lunch and use them for catering parties.
If your kids are well behaved then bring them. If they act up (or act like kids do) then I would not recommend it.

I ordered the D’Agneses and it was the perfect pasta meal for lunch! Two small pieces of juicy chicken, breaded to a crisp, were accompanied by a side of perfectly al dente pasta. Even more satisfying was the service. Three of us were in and out within 35 minutes during the lunch hour. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Definitely a must visit again!

As a Hudson resident, I’ve dined at Tomato Grill on numerous occasions and until recently, had been pleased with the quality of food and service. However, my most recent (and last) visit was a disaster.
I made 7:00 pm reservations for our party of five (30-​something women who were hoping to have a pleasant evening of dining, drinking and catching up), most of whom were out of town guests, and I am beyond disappointed with the entire experience. Keep in mind that this review comes from someone who worked as a waitress for several years in college, so I understand how difficult the profession can be and I’m extremely understanding of situations that are out of a server’s control (a slow/​busy kitchen or bar, etc). However, I have zero tolerance for poor, disrespectful service, which is exactly what we were given at Tomato Grill.
First of all, our server never introduced herself (it turns out that her name is Nancy, which we learned upon her wordless delivery of our checks at the end of the meal), never smiled, never responded to us when we placed our drinks, appetizers or entrée orders with so much as a grunt, much less a thank you. In addition to the rude service, all of our orders took entirely too long to be delivered – glasses of wine arrived 15 minutes after we placed the order, appetizers took 20+ minutes, and we had to request water refills from the hostess. When the appetizers arrived, we were still stuck with our menus (as Nancy never came back to take our dinner orders, much less check on our satisfaction with our drinks or inquire about another round), so we were stuck holding the menus on our laps while trying to eat our appetizers.
When Nancy finally did take our entrée orders, she acted as though she was doing us a favor – no response, no thank you – she simply wordlessly took the orders and then walked away, and left the empty appetizer plates on the table. After our entrees were delivered (and we had to request that the appetizer plates be cleared), Nancy never came back to inquire about our satisfaction with our meals or to see if there was anything else that we’d like – perhaps another round of drinks that would increase the balance of our checks, and in theory, Nancy’s potential tip (freshly grated cheese or cracked black pepper was never an option at our table either). Nancy finally showed back up after about 20 minutes after we’d finished our meals to inquire about dessert. We politely declined, as we were beyond frustrated with the horrible service we’d received for the past two hours. At this point, we requested to speak with a manager and were greeted by… another server? She informed us that she was «the closest thing» to a manager at that time. Really?! There’s NO MANAGER available to speak with customers on a Saturday night?!! So, we relayed our disappointment with our dining experience to this «closest thing» to a manager/​server and she offered up a vague «sorry to hear about that,» a blank stare, and a free dessert. Are you kidding me!!! I’d expect a MUCH higher level of concern or eagerness to remedy the situation of a table who’s bill was over $ 200. When we requested to be compensated with more than a free dessert, we received a 10% discount. What a joke. I’ll certainly never return to Tomato Grill and will make sure to inform everyone I know that there are plenty of other restaurant options in the Hudson area (many within walking distance of Tomato Grill, as a matter of fact) that value their customers and their business.

Tomato Grill staff accommodated a large group late lunch after a sad occasion and service was excellent. Food was tasty, hot, and served to entire group at once. I would recommend the ambience and we were charmed with lovely Hudson.

We went in for a late lunch with my in-​laws and we are very glad we did. It was not crowded at the time and the service was great. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Fresh ingredients and you could taste it! The bruschetta and mozzarella were amazing appetizers. Dishes we ordered included salads, chicken and veal parm, penne arrabiata. The kids loved their chicken tenders and penne. My son also got the arrabiata sauce and he ate every last bite. The guys also got the tomato basil soup and said it was the best they have ever tasted. We will definitely return.

Tomatoe Grill is very delicious! Everything on your dish is absolutely fresh, served by very respectable and very friendly staff. The manager also serves, and has a wonderful time with all the customers that come to enjoy the food. I’m more than thankful to come to a restaurant, who puts customer satisfaction and social responsibility top of there priority list!

While visiting my bf’s family in the area we decided to grab a bite to eat at Tomato Grill. We arrived Friday evening around 6 p.m. and I had a feeling they would have a wait for a table. We did not call ahead to make a reservation and maybe we should have. When we asked the hostess for a table she didn’t seem to have anything available and asked if we made a reservation which we had not. She told us that she didn’t know if a table would become available for at least 30 – 45 minutes, but she did recommend the bar area instead. The bar area was fine for us and there were exactly 4 chairs left so it was perfect.
We sat down at the bar and were greeted by our server. She was really friendly and offered us drinks while placing the menus in front of us. I wish I remembered her name, but I just can’t think of it. Anyway, since I was visiting Great Lakes state I had to try one of the Great Lakes beers (Dortmunder) and it was exactly what I needed. the bartender/​server gave us some time to look over the menu and left us alone for a bit while we made decisions. The family decided to order the bruschetta for an appetizer and then we each ordered an entrée. I opted for the eggplant parmesan.
Our bartender was great at making sure we each had enough to drink and she kept checking on us to let us know that the kitchen was working on our order (she knew it was taking a long time). The appetizer came out and looked great and tasted great so that was a good start to the meal. Then when our meals came I was slightly disappointed. My eggplant parmesan looked a bit disappointing and seemed to be loaded with more cheese to make it look more filling. The eggplant itself was quite soggy and didn’t taste anything like what it should have. I ate about ¹⁄₃ of my meal, but opted to eat more of the pasta with marinara sauce instead. The pasta was very plain and the sauce wasn’t seasoned very well. It was definitely not a meal I would go back for.
If I could give our server/​bartender 5 stars I would, but since the food was lacking in flavor I have to give 3 stars with hopes that they will improve… or maybe they do better on a night when they aren’t as busy?
There are plenty of other good places to visit in the area for dinner so I would suggest skipping dinner at the Tomato Grill… maybe just go for drinks and apps instead.

Garbage. Hours go to 1030 on Saturday nights. Was walking in at 1015 and the bartender told the busboy to run up and flip the open sign over to closed as we were walking up. Called and they said they were really slow so they were closing. Every other decent restaurant is jammed at 1015 on a Saturday. Tells you something about this place. If you have to close early on a Saturday your restaurant has problems. Especially an «Italian» place. If you can even call it that. I’ve lived in Hudson 35 years. There are at least 15 places I would have eaten at before I even considered going here… and one of those is chipotle.

Love this quite place for a great meal! No disappointment with anything I’ve ordered!

Food was just okay but not wow. Wine was good. Service was abysmal. Not real authentic Italian.

Pretty bland food. Nothing special at all, and wayyyyy overpriced. $ 108 for a group of 3. Bruschetta was the best part of the meal. Marinara was flavorless, and a small portion for $ 15. Older clientele. Crowded and loud.

Not as authentic as the real thing but it’s a GREAT take on American Italian cooking. Atmosphere nothing special pretty generic along with service. But would go back if a friend desired so.

It was just ok. I went in for lunch during a weekday with my husband. There were the ladies who lunch that filled the whole restaurant practically. I think my husband was the only male customer there. So we sat in the bar area.
We ordered a pizza and a pasta dish. They were ok.
Also, the size of the restaurant is not that big.

We have never been here for dinner, but have for lunch. Their lunch pricing, even on weekends, is very reasonable for good food. Not sure if this carries over to dinner.
I noticed the prices are considerably more for dinner, which may be for the same portions. Kind of like a Chinese restaurant is so much more expensive at night. Never understood that. It is a nice restaurant though and we had good service and food.

I have dined here for lunch and dinner for years! The service, even when busy, is top notch. The pasta is consistently prepared al dente as requested. The wine list is varied and affordable. Get the homemade pizza — you won’t be disappointed! When my fiancé brought me here for dinner they treated us like royalty.
