Breakfast buffet with Santa was the best yet this year. I think they simplified it. The cost was less and the menu was simple but everything was tasty (and GF!). My son loves it

The food was excellent as usual. We asked for a quieter area so we’re were seated in the garden room which was great. Nice ambience and cozy with patio heaters. Our wait person was very attentive and efficient and friendly and our delicious food came very timely. We enjoyed the complimentary birthday Dunday.

First time to Pete's. Staff was amazingly attentive, cheerful and efficient. We loved the Sole and Stripped Bass. Salad and focaccia was excellent. Desserts were fabulous. Only slight negative is the room is quite echoey and loud. Otherwise, 2 thumbs up.
