“The dinner parties are amazing but I'm obsessed with the vibe of Sunday service. I truly was not interested in eating anything else after visiting this place. Inspiring!!“

“They went way out of their way to make check-in a little special, asking how I want my AC and air purifier. I was staying alone on this trip but man, if you have a group the common area of this hotel is amazing. Perfect for hanging out, card games etc. Also really cool and unique location for both sunrise and sunset. Rooms are cutely decorated!“

“The Yellow Deli in Oak Hill, New York, is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Nestled in a beautifully restored two-story building in the heart of the hamlet, this hidden gem transports you to another world. As you step inside, it’s as if you’ve wandered into an enchanted treehouse in the middle of the forest. From the moment you walk across the gleaming hardwood floors and settle into the carved wooden booths—each one handcrafted with curvilinear precision—you are enveloped in warmth, charm, and intentional craftsmanship.

The ambiance is both rustic and whimsical. Farm baskets have been ingeniously converted into hanging light fixtures, casting a soft, golden glow over each table. The interior design reflects a deep reverence for nature, simplicity, and community. The aroma of freshly baked bread and sweets fills the air, and if you’re lucky, you might find yourself enjoying your meal to the sounds of a live six-piece band tucked in the corner, elevating the entire experience to something utterly magical.

Let’s talk about the food—crafted with care, creativity, and an unmistakable farm-to-table ethos. I started with their soup du jour, a velvety carrot ginger soup that struck a perfect balance between sweet and savory. It was delicately creamy, with just the right touch of ginger and a sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds for texture. The chili followed, bold and rich, with a slow-building spice that was warm and comforting.

Their toasted sourdough bread was a masterpiece in itself—crisp, buttered crust on the outside, light and tender within. Every bite crackled slightly before melting in your mouth.

The roast beef sandwich was tender, flavorful, and perfectly proportioned, with just the right meat-to-cheese ratio, all served on a warm, freshly baked roll. I also tried the combo roast beef and corned beef sandwich, which delivered a delightful kick of spice and robust flavor, making it an unforgettable choice.

To cleanse the palate and refresh, I opted for the Catskill Mountain Mint Iced Herbal Tea, which was phenomenal. Lightly sweetened, fresh, and cooling—an ideal accompaniment to a hearty meal on a summer day.

Naturally, I had to end on a sweet note, and the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting did not disappoint. Moist, spiced just right, and generously frosted—it was divine.

Inside the Yellow Deli, you’ll also find a charming mini country market, where they offer an impressive assortment of handmade soaps, botanical lotions, herbal teas, granolas, local honey, pure maple syrup, and house-baked goods. It’s a lovely place to pick up a thoughtful gift or something special to take home.

Whether you’re passing through or making this a destination, The Yellow Deli is a treasure along the Catskill Creek—a place where time slows down, and every detail invites you to savor, reflect, and return.

“Food that feeds the soul, beauty that speaks volumes, and travel that tells a story always through the eyes of Italy Loves India.”

“On our way home to Long Island, we stopped off in Leeds and found a gem…. Gracie’s !!! Everything was absolutely delicious!!! They even make their own ketchup!!! I highly recommend this place…. You will not be disappointed… 5 stars to Gracie’s!!!!!“

“Food is amazing. They are still getting up and running so our food took some time and the staff seemed to be running around, BUT it is extremely worth the wait. The wedge salad was super fresh with bleu cheese dressing, the crab cake sammie was delicious, and the braised short rib with grits was perfect. Everything I wanted.“

“I’ve never been to this hotel. The swimming hole behind is where you should go. The current at the bottom is not as dangerous as it seems, but don’t attempt to swim if you’re a weak swimmer (for safety).

Nearby activities: Go to the swimming hole.“

“Great delivery service and great food.“
