Lil' Deb's Oasis

18 Most Fun Dinners In America Right Now 2024 - The Infatuation

"Lil Deb’s Oasis in Hudson is full of serious food and wine in a place that makes a point not to take itself too seriously. Pretty much everyone at this tropical oasis in the Hudson Valley is wearing a crop top, and wine descriptions read like cryptic Connections solutions (tasting notes include “tiny pants" and “overdue apology”). Always order the whole fried fish—digging into the crisp, piping-hot flaky goodness with your bare hands before dipping it into the citrusy sauce is a sensual experience. Everything is delicious, but don’t leave without getting a slice of kabocha chocolate mousse cake for dessert." - anne cruz
