Jessie’s Harvest House
Jessie’s Harvest House Restaurant and Lodge is a warm and comfy place to dine, drink or stay. The restaurant features a delicious menu of elevated American-style cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients from the beautiful offerings of the Catskills. Overnight accommodations are also available in their cozy private guest rooms overlooking the scenic views of Hunter Mountain.
Owners Phil and Sarah DiFalco opened the doors approximately five years ago and they are still going strong. They started their business with the intent to welcome everyone that comes in their doors as if they are part of the family. “We want our place to be somewhere you can come regularly, but also a place where you can host parties and celebrate special occasions with your family and friends.” They themselves have built their family right alongside their five strong years of business. They have two beautiful girls, Capri (5) and Juniper (2), who can often be found milling around the restaurant checking in on their dad in the kitchen.
Chef Phil refined his lifelong cooking skills at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. After graduating, he worked and honed his farm-to-table skills at the highly rated Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Westchester County. He sources as much as he can from the local farms in the area (Fromer Market Gardens, Story Farms, Hudson Valley Fisheries and Highland Hollow Farms, to name a few), and his beautiful and every changing menu will bring you back again and again to see what he does next. Chef Phil is big on different flavor combinations, and is great at identifying how flavors should be combined … especially those that you wouldn’t expect. The menu at Jessie’s changes frequently, depending on what is in season and what is available. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options are always available, and for those regulars who have eaten there so often that they have already tried everything on the menu, Chef Phil always offers daily specials.
Jessie’s Harvest House is located at 5819 Main Street in Tannersville. They are open for indoor dining, outdoor patio dining for those warm summer evenings (weather permitting), take-out and catering services. Normal dinner service hours are Tuesday through Saturday evenings from 5 to 9 pm. Reservations are strongly recommended. For more information, visit jessiesharvesthouse.com or call 518 589 5445.
