Working with local farms to showcase the bounty of the Hudson Valley, Merchants Social is the newest restaurant from Chef John DeLucie and partners.

Merchants is the first project for DeLucie in the Hudson Valley. His formidable team includes many who have already left an indelible mark on the expansive food and beverage scene here, including Executive Chef Kevin Rubis (hailing from the culinary worlds of Pittsburgh, PA and Portland, OR and most recently of Kingston, NY’s Hutton Brickyards’ River Pavilion); GM/Partner Jaime Donato, formerly of Hudson’s Fish & Game in Hudson (under Chef Zak Pelaccio);  and others.

Taking its name with a bit of a nod to the history of this whaling and maritime river town, Merchants Social, located at 333 Warren Street (which housed the restaurant Ca’Mea for the past 20 years) is in a circa-1855 Italianate building. Interior design group Michael Tavano Design has worked with the Merchants’ team to reinvent the restaurant space with bar and lounge, raw bar, open kitchen dining room and a beautiful, expanded backyard patio.

The restaurant’s wine list is curated by Hudson Wine Merchants, with cheeses from noted provisions purveyors Talbott & Arding, drawing in other incredible sources within the Hudson community.

Please note that Merchants Social is currently operating with a beer and wine license.
