I hosted my wedding here and it was spectacular! It does require some decorating which my wife did for the tables, chairs and walls. But what really made this special was the host. He gave us significant value for our money. The food was amazing!...Read More

My favorite place in Yonkers. Victor has been there for 27 years and is the only and best server there. The food is flavorful and delicious. If you’re ever in Yonkers, you should pay them a visit. You’ll love it. Ambiance is ok. No music.

Down to earth spot with excellent food and service. Family friendly. Furnishings are a bit sparse, so you won't impress your girlfriend here until the food arrives.
