“Pete's” Saloon & Restaurant of Elmsford was born in 1977, and has grown from “The Saloon”, the ambitious dream of former owner Peter Riekstins to another ambitious dream of new owner-Anthony Bartolotta.So many of our friends and clientele have grown with us remaining loyal through our six renovations, kitchen and staff upgrades. So many new folks have also joined the Pete's community in recent years, as the quality of the meals, ambience and venue have expanded and matured.Now, in 2020, in the most unprecedented times the restaurant industry has ever faced, Pet's is always a superb value, maintaining the standards of fresh ingredients and care in preparation of the meals so proudly served. Still, with almost four decades of changes, Pete's has never lost the warm, relaxed friendly atmosphere that is the cornerstone of the Restaurant’s popularity with locals and visitors alike.

We arrived and the place was overrun with people waiting for a table but we got a drink and were seated in the main dining just over a half hour. Service was excellent, portions are large, and the food was delicious. Steak for 3 could serve 4 or 5 people. Flavor of each dish was very tasty. I enjoyed lobster bisque and Cesar salad, and appetizer crab cakes, which had almost no filler. Leftovers are good too. Christmas Eve success.

Food was delicious, and have been there several times. Only draw back from my most recent visit was that I was seated in the front, and when new guests came in, there was a cold draft that kept interrupting my/ my party’s comfort. Fortunately enough, the electric grill in front of us helped, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that. Would definitely go back again.
