WINE

Hello, we're Lil Deb's Oasis. Welcome to our world.

"The war is over, the war is over, said a young working woman next to me. Her face shone." from Les Guerilleres by Monique Wittig trans. David LeVay

The woman, at the time, or at another time, sat in Hudson's very own Lil Deb's Oasis. Like many others who walked through the passionfruit vestibule, as she licked the brine of Venus birth from her spotted ceviche spoon, she wanted to know more about how the restaurant got started, it's ethos. One of the wait staff began:

During the War lived & loved the artist-chefs Carla Perez-Gallardo & Hannah Black, two star-crossed luminaries under the sign of the Lacerta constellation (Little Cassiopeia). Hannah was trying to make a bonsai tree made of fondant & found the flowers too sweet to bloom. Carla, a renowned molecular gastronomist, found herself fond at her partner's ingenuity. She thought about it, & took out her atomic pestle to move this & that molecule over there, & suddenly the buds burst open. They had since united primarily through the shared desire of creating communion between peoples through the sacred vessel of comida, & have since fostered the creation of so much more: a community-centered crevice in the hearts of many, many legendary friends whose word of mouth grew potential for verdant collaboration with artists & galleries, other businesses, & other like-minded individuals & organizations dedicated to trying to end The War, thus trying to change the world for the better.

Wedded in matriarchal spirit, Hannah & Carla lead toward a place replete with pleasure & joy, where all are welcomed into a space where those who are marginal can feel at home. Where ever the world's going, we want to be there before, during, & after with a glass of great wine. The story still continues & we're waiting for you!

Tropical Comfort Food, in the heart of the Hudson Valley

We designed our menu to give us room to celebrate the seasonal variety mother nature provides for us in the Hudson Valley, while integrating them with the vibrant flavors of the tropics

​

We call our cuisine Tropical Comfort Food because warmth, nourishment and connection are at the core of what we do.

Queer Performance Night, Our annual Galas, and more.

“Queer Night of Performance” is a monthly happening/event that takes place within the restaurant space of Lil Deb's Oasis, a queer-run restaurant in Hudson, NY.  Since its inception in 2018, QNOP has been about showcasing and highlighting queer talent and expressions of wide varieties. These evenings have included but are never limited to drag. Often these nights include live music, readings, comedy, dance, and art. Artists and performers of all kinds are encouraged to take on a theme or prompt and use the opportunity to showcase, workshop, and experiment. These evenings have proven to be incredibly nurturing to the queer community of Hudson and our friends.
