In Short
Transformed from its original function as a bank, this massive dining room is a sight to behold with high ceilings, parquet floors, ornately decorated lamps, glossy wood tables and a gorgeous art deco bar. Businessmen, shoppers and local bohos are usually found having a relaxed drink or celebrating some festive occasion. As for the menu, think classic American with a modern twist: Macaroni and cheese is a mix of many cheeses, including white cheddar and goat, while a grilled cheese can be prepared with crab, Brie and avocado salsa. For brunch, there's smoked-salmon crepes and eggs Benedict.

While recently dining at Pete's Cafe my purse fell over. I retrieved my pill box but was not aware that my credit card size camera had also fallen out. I called the following day and the day after to no avail. After speaking with 3 different employees, one a manager, I requested a call back either way, found or not . When I didn't hear back from any of the 3 employees, I sent a e-mail to Pete requesting a good look around and either a phone call or return e-mail. No luck, I sent a second e-mail, practically begging, and still no response. Too bad for Pete's, I will never go back there and have told my friends not to go there either. I am often downtown for theatre etc. where there are many good choice of places to eat were they treat their patrons with respect!!!

My friend broke her tooth on a ROCK that was in the meat of the "prized" Helman Burger. The staff was not supportive of the sensitive situation and refused to reimburse for the tooth. The staff at this place is as lame as the clientele.

WOW!!!!!!!! I had a GREAT experiece at Pete's, the food was GREAT !!! took my cousin to dinner for her birthday and we had the flat iron steak followed by the delicious bread pudding topped with strawberys. The service was wonderful, I was a little confuse about who was my waiter but the person who serve us was GREAT!!!!! his name is ROMAN he was always checking to see if we needed aniything, took our order, brought us drinks and was wonderful untill the time we left. The only time I got to see my waiter was when he brought our check and that was a little disapointed. Other than that ROMAN gave us GREAT service and I Loved it!!!!!!!!!!! Surely we will be back again :)
