The quiet privileges of belonging.
From chef's table dinners to private boardrooms, every service at 1790 is designed for members who expect discretion, distinction, and a familiar welcome. This is what we offer those who call our rooms their own.
A standard of service, quietly upheld.
Four pillars define the member experience at 1790. Each is curated by hand, refined season after season, and held to a standard befitting Columbia County's most distinguished residents. Together, they form a complete and considered alternative to public dining.

01 · The Dining Room
A seat reserved only for you.
Our chef builds each menu around what arrives that morning from Hudson Valley growers and the Berkshire foothills. The kitchen knows your aversions, your favorite courses, and the wines you've enjoyed before — because consistency is the deepest form of welcome.

- Hand-selected wine pairings from our cellar of 600+ labels
- Member dietary profile maintained on file
- Open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner service
02 · The Society Calendar

- Cigar & cognac salons in the Reading Room

04 · Member Concierge
Anticipation, as a house language.

- Personal preference profile for every member
- Off-premise services & private chef arrangements
- Guest hosting & introductions to fellow members
- Discreet logistics for travel, transport, and gifting

Frequently Asked
Matters of etiquette.
How do I become a member of 1790?
Membership is extended exclusively through introduction by an existing member. There is no public application. If you would like to learn more, our Director of Membership is happy to receive a discreet inquiry through our Contact page.
What does membership include?
Members enjoy priority reservations in the dining room, full access to our private rooms, the complete society calendar of events, and the personal attention of our concierge team. Specifics are reviewed in detail during your audience.
Where in Columbia County are you located?
We occupy a restored 18th-century house in the village of Hudson, New York — a private establishment marked only by a small brass plaque at the entrance. The full address is shared with members and confirmed inquiries.
May I bring guests?
Members may host up to four guests in the dining room and parties of any approved size in our private spaces. We ask that guests be introduced in advance so our team may prepare a proper welcome.
Is there a dress code?
We observe smart attire. Members and guests are expected to dress with the consideration the room deserves — jackets are encouraged in the evening, denim is welcome at lunch.
Can I host a private event?
Yes. Members may reserve any of our three private rooms — the Library, the Hudson Room, and the Cellar — for board meetings, celebrations, and intimate gatherings. Our concierge handles every detail of menu, service, and atmosphere.
