Hudson’s on the Bend

Take a bit of a trip to the outskirts of Austin for a great romantic date at Hudson’s on the Bend. The restaurant is situated in a converted home, giving it an even more intimate feel. It may be a little bit pricey there, but if you want to impress the one you’re with it’s well worth the expense. From what people say, they have great food and very generous portions, so you don’t have to worry about that money going to waste. Finish up the meal with some quality deserts and a bottle of wine and your date
