We used to go to the Oak and Embers in Chesterland, but it recently closed. We tried the Hudson location and were very happy. It is a much nicer location. We were served by Erica and warmly welcomed by Gina. Excellent food. We will be back.

We had a family dinner outing with 6 Adilts & 3 kids. Our server Edmund was awesome. He was very patient with us, brought the kids snacks and answered all our questions. The manager Tara was exceptional. I had a problem with my bill that I didn't notice until I walked out. I went back in and she took care of me promptly. Will definitely be back!!

    Service was excellent considering they had a full house. We had the fish fry it was very good except the coleslaw was just okay. Great bottle of wine and yummy carrot cake for dessert we will be back.

    The wait staff was nice and efficient. The drinks were good. The smoked meats- corned beef and ribs were tasty. I guess our only complaint was the sides- the coleslaw and cabbage sides were lacking in flavor. Also my meal could have been hotter.
