There's a big stage and fab lighting throughout...looks like a great place to enjoy some live entertainment. We went before a (Paramount) show and sampled the pizza, Brussels sprouts, wings and specialty cocktails. Our friends had pasta dishes that received rave reviews. Service was very friendly but since it was on the busy side, the food took a little while (which was totally fine since we had plenty of time before the show started). Really enjoyed my meal and I'll be sure to visit again.

Tucked away under street level in downtown Peekskill is a little Italian restaurant called…read moreGleason's, and this little gem does not disappoint. We tend to follow the local cover band Run For Cover, and with them talking about this place on their podcast, we decided to make the drive from Connecticut to go see them play here. We came for the music, so I'll mention the stage first. I'd say there isn't a bad seat in the house, but there are. You can scoot your chair, though, so I'll say there isn't a bad table in the house. Acoustics are nice, and the stage lighting doesn't usually move around and shine directly into your retina. Table service keeps the food and drink coming so you don't miss a minute. Now, onto the food. Their pizzas are made from scratch with their house-made sourdough starter, and it sounds like they do a better job of keeping it healthy than I do. (I wonder if I can take some home. I should ask next time.) The result is a pizza crust that is light and airy, but is dense enough to provide what The Sporkful calls "toothsinkability." They don't put the kitchen sink on their pizzas, so don't expect the crust to flop over the entire time you're holding your slice. There are plenty of special pizzas, or you can build your own. Each one has a fully-cooked but not burnt crust, pretty close to the classic New York style that's an hour south. It's hard to resist a good pizza, so we haven't tried too much of the rest of the menu. Our forays into the appetizer section have been great, and the dishes I see pass by all give my eyeballs a feast. The craft beer selection is a little thin, with a list of five or six regional ones scrawled in chalk on one wall. Still, if you like IPA's, lagers, or ales, you should find at least one you'll like. Street parking can be a pain, but there is a parking garage a few blocks away that's free at night. EV owners, you'll have to fight over a double-corded L2 ChargePoint station around the corner. (Get with the times, Peekskill!) Fortunately, I think it's free for the first few hours, so consider yourself lucky to get a plug!

genuinely enjoyed my experience doing brunch here; the view is beautiful and the place is classy…read morewithout being overly formal. service (which i noticed was a pain point for a good chunk of reviews) was lovely: staff was attentive but not overbearing, and our main server (renato) was friendly and accommodating. food was all good -- between the two of us, we ordered the onion soup gratinee to start, the katsu chicken and biscuits and the duck and roasted potato hash as our mains, and finished off with a classic crème brûlée. onion soup was nicely light while still well-seasoned. i had the duck and hash -- duck was wonderfully crispy without tipping over into burnt territory, and the hash with the poached egg was delicious. crème brûlée was a classic but performed as a perfect end to a good meal.

My wife and I came here for my birthday dinner and, at first, it felt like it was going to be a…read moregreat experience. We had a 6 PM reservation, so the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. The space itself is spectacular, and the views are absolutely magnificent; definitely a beautiful way to start the evening. We were seated immediately, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the service felt a little off throughout the night. The servers did their job, but they weren't particularly attentive or especially friendly, which took away from the overall experience. We both ordered the three-course meal from the Cherry Blossom Spring Menu. My wife had a non-alcoholic drink that she loved, while I ordered the Blueskin's Bounce, a rye cocktail with cherry liqueur. My drink was just okay. For her meal, she ordered the local burrata, the Chilean sea bass, and the black sesame cheesecake. She really enjoyed the sea bass, but the cheesecake was disappointing. I had the tuna crudo, the cherry-glazed duck breast, and the cherry blossom panna cotta. Unfortunately, the duck was extremely tough, almost impossible to cut or chew, and the panna cotta was bland and forgettable. Overall, despite the stunning atmosphere and views, the food and service did not live up to expectations, especially for a birthday dinner. Sadly, I wouldn't return.

Fun new fusion place in downtown Peekskill dimly lit and romantic inside however- we may have tried…read moreon an off night (although it was a Saturday night) as the service seemed kinda off. Our server did mention he's usually a bartender at a local bar down the street, he did a nice job serving us but he did seem a bit flustered and it appeared only he and one runner was on shift at the time. The restaurant wasn't packed by any means though. They didn't have an ingredient for the cocktail my husband and I wanted to order and they ran out of the bok choy side. (Definitely some growing pains occur when restaurants first open). The server suggested one of his cocktails to us which we both ended up disliking and he kindly and graciously made us something different when we mentioned it. What I loved- the server asked the chef to come to our table to discuss my dietary restrictions and she was LOVELY. It was great to have information directly from the chef's mouth so I knew for sure what I was getting was safe for me to eat. I can't emphasize how much I appreciated that. They have a ton of lovely looking vegetarian options and a little less so for vegan options but the food I did have was good! I had the lions mane rice wrap which I expected to be cold because of the rice paper but was actually deep fried! It was a surprise and I think it would've been beneficial to note that on the menu as most rice paper wraps are cold. It was good though! Maybe needed some veg in the wrap to round it out (some carrots or cucumber would've been great to break up the texture). The charred broccoli side was ok, a little dry and needed salt. Also was only a few pieces of broccoli, it is offered as a side for $8 that's about the price of 3 whole heads of broccoli so not sure why it was so scant. I also had the edamame hummus with these really unique tapioca nori chips. They were essentially tapioca pearls and nori fused together to create a chip. They were a big surprise and I don't know if they're purchased or made in house but I've never had anything like them. The flavor of the hummus was good but needed a big hit of salt and some acid, maybe rice wine vinegar or yuzu would've done the trick to keep them in an Asian fusion place. My husband had the mushroom bao which he liked and the salmon entree which he also liked but did note that it felt a bit like an incomplete dish. Maybe some rice or something on the side would've rounded it out, especially for the price. Overall, if they added a few more vegan options and solved some of their growing pains with service and supply, I'd be down to come back again. We are glad we tried it but not sure it will become one of our regular spots in Peekskill, just yet.

This place won't be here long so I won't waste a lot of time. You can't figure out the vibe, menu, place, nothing! I guarantee you'll walk past it 5x's before you notice it. People kept coming in and out wearing black Slainte's shirts either bringing things in or taking them out. You like your food being handled and walked down the street? I don't know the relationship to that Irish bar down the street but that explains a lot! I was hoping to bump up my 2-stars from 6.24, but dropped to 1-star per a Feb. '25 visit. Gotta throw this one back! Not a keeper!

The owner is incredibly conceeted and needs to look up the word humble as he is clearly not…read more He is a drug addict making pizza that is pretty good but not great. I've had better pies elsewhere without having to hear his sob story or deal with his nonsense. I ordered a pie from him 3weeks ago as my train home was at 125th St station and when I got off at Cortlandt and drove over and in 55mins, my pie was still not yet even in the oven. Yes there were a few other customers but it was not by any means busy and it took 77min from order to pizza in hand. Might not take so long if he wasn't doing drugs in-between making orders. I am now completely done with this guy and his shop. 4 strikes and he is out. I hope the DEA and DTF take a close look at him and hopefully remind him of his place in the world. Even friends who were defending him a few years ago now tell me Hudson Oven is better (when they're doing pizza) -- and that it is hot and ready within 5min of the time they tell you. I'm here for food, not drug-fired social-media videos. You have ONE job, try to do it, instead of social media. You're not 25 anymore. Stop acting like it and be a responsible adult...

Let me tell you, it turned out to be one of the best Italian meals of my life -- and my grandmother is from Naples, so that means a lot when I say it! We had the chicken parm, eggplant parm, spaghetti and meatballs, sausage pizza, and plenty of Chianti! Joe, the owner -- what a guy! Funny, witty, incredibly knowledgeable about food, and truly passionate not only about his restaurant and cooking but also about his customers. You don't see that kind of warmth and authenticity very often. If you don't eat here, you're really missing out. After packing up our (many) leftovers, Joe surprised us with cream puffs -- OMG, to die for! A perfect meal. Perfect place. Cute, timeless, and unforgettable.

I just dont know how long it has been there because no one bothered to inform us that our order was ready. Then they expect tip from a customer that was given poor service by them.
