The Hudson
It was beautiful! We really were on the Hudson with a good view of the GW bridge, the cloisters and greenery. There was also live music in the corner.
There are 2 main areas. One is more in the sun. This area has some couches and umbrellas and there's also tall metal chairs with no shade.
I get hot easily and didn't want to bake, so we moved "inside." It's an open air building with ceiling fans. It was perfect. We got a breeze but still were part of the outside experience. No walls.
The server was very attentive and repeated everything back to us. They were able to make things spicy or not at all.
The family members i was with love alcohol so they all got some kind of fruity drink. I stuck to soda but it was a relatively big glass.
In terms of food, everyone liked theirs. I was not feeling great so my experience is not as important except to say that i could get something plain if i wanted.
Everyone else tried different tacos and they said they were delish. We also got some sides. The brussel sprouts were fresh and not mushy. We all liked them.
Another side was mashed potatoes with parmesan on top. I didn't want any. Nobody really liked it.
Earlier, it's worth mentioning that we got Guacamole and chips to share. The chips were homemade and the Guacamole was really good. But i do think they could have given us a bigger portion of Guacamole.
By the end of the meal, we were all stuffed but i am always intrigued by sweets. I got a scoop of vanilla and one of chocolate. A very nice hearty portion! There was even whipped cream and some chocolate sauce.
So, all in all, I would GO. I don't know when it closes for the season but it's like being in another city. You're far enough away from the traffic that you don't hear it at all!

Tacuba
My husband and i went there late in the evening and the front was noisy and warm. I asked for us to be seated in an air-conditioned area... and the back which was huge... was pretty, chill, and had good service. I tried some foods i had never heard of but my husband thought i might like. It was all very good.
We found this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did and i hope to go back.

Isohama
We went there just as it opened for the afternoon on a Saturday, so I don't know what it's like when it's full. But that has nothing to do with the food! I haven't had real Japanese food in a while. I don't eat sushi. I got and really liked the Beef Negimaki. I got a salad that was an option with it too. I finished that. The portion of the Negimaki was big enough that i took some home and had it for lunch the next day. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant!
Beautiful pieces of art from all over the world of different subjects. Some were done during lockdown so that made the photographers look outside the box on how to take photos. And you can take photos of the mounted pictures.
