Hudson House Brings East Coast Charm to Rice Village

Hudson House Brings East Coast Charm to Rice Village

RICE VILLAGE JUST got a whole lot tastier.

On Wednesday, May 21st, Hudson House — the latest outpost from Vandelay Hospitality Group and its visionary Founder & CEO, Hunter Pond — opens between CB2 and Banana Republic. This marks the second Houston location for the upscale American eatery, following the success of its River Oaks sibling.

The 6,077-square-foot restaurant brings an East Coast sensibility with a distinctly Texan soul to one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. Think: oysters flown in daily, buttery lobster rolls, cheeseburgers with a cult following, and a surprising sushi menu.

Shaken or stirred, Hudson House’s bar delivers with its famous “World’s Coldest Martinis,” Frozen Bellinis, Spicy Mexican Margaritas, and a curated wine list. Don’t sleep on dessert—the key lime pie and chocolate silk pie are worth the trip alone.

“We’re looking forward to bringing a second Hudson House to Houston,” says Pond, the Dallas-based restaurateur whose bold, style-forward concepts have made Vandelay Hospitality Group a force in the Texas dining scene. “Rice Village offers an ideal background for our beloved coastal-inspired American cuisine.”

Open daily for lunch and dinner, Hudson House also offers a can’t-miss happy hour from 3–6 p.m. on weekdays, ideal for post-shopping cocktails.
