    First visit to Hudson House. Went with a friend. I had the Maple plank salmon but substituted the skinny fries for the broccoli since I avoid lemon, parmesan cheese and broccoli. Cooked medium with a soy glaze. It was excellent. I took half of the salmon home for dinner. My friend ordered the pan seared redfish and though it says lightly blackened she thought the outside was a bit hard but the flavor was good. The place filled up after we arrived so the noise level went up but wasn't too loud.
