We wanted to eat at this restaurant before heading to the nearby hike to Poet’s Ledge. We pulled up outside, waiting to meet a friend, when a man came outside and asked us why we were trespassing on his private property (we were on a public road, not private property). We said we wanted to eat at the restaurant. He told us the restaurant was closed and then later in a very threatening tone said, “if you cross my property one more time, I’m going to do something about it.” (Again, we were on a public street.) I can’t speak to the food here, but based on this experience I don’t ever want to find out.

All food is made to order. The specials are superb. The view of the waterfall from the deck is spectacular. The crowd is eclectic and friendly. The inside dining room is especially cozy in winter. The bistro bar is reasonably priced. Go play some darts!

We have driven by their sign in Palenville for 25 years as we headed up towards Hunter, NY, and finally decided to give it a try. Booked a table for 4 at 7:30. Decour is 1950s throwback and it feels more like someone's parlor than a public space. When we arrived we saw 4 tables seated, but they were in a state of disarray and explained the kitchen was backed up. We enjoyed some wine on the deck (served by the glass- no bottle service) until about 8:15. While we waited 2 non-reservation groups were turned away because they had "no food". Placed our orders from the deck- they had only 5 of entree choices available. The owner/manager came by several times to apologize and waitress could not have been more nice. Food was delicious (chicken piccata and chicken marsala) - on balance worth the wait for the experience and ambiance. Unique feel among all dining venues for 20+ miles. BOOK AHEAD!
