The food is consistently good and the management is very accommodating. My personal favorites are coconut shrimp and sweet corn pudding! Oh and the rosemary parmesan fries are simply to die for! Thank you and keep up the good work! read less

LOVE THE FOOD!

They catered my wedding 17 years ago and each year we go back and have lunch or dinner.  The food keeps getting better.

Last time our server was Armondo - Amazing!!

The food, location, staff and venue were all perfection.  All the planning was cohesive and well delivered.

This venue is easily accessible from the Hutchinson River Parkway and 95. As soon as I entered I learned that they had different areas with events taking place.  I found the The Oak Room to be very modern and classic. It comfortably fit my friend's 80 guests. The small dance floor and large dining area is perfect for small weddings. The DJ booth fit perfectly and the placement of the welcome table, gifts, food and Cake were spot on. Really loved the organization here. The Staff was kind and on top of everything. Making the Bride's big day special.

The dinner was buffet style. We started with appetizers which were meatballs, flatbread, calamari. Dinner consisted of salad, asparagus, Filet Mignon, Chicken Marsala, Salmon, mashed potatoes, ziti and bread. The steak and salmon were very good. I found all the food to be very fresh and not overly seasoned. The Horseradish and mushroom gravy paired well with my steak. For Dessert there was a small bar that featured s'mores, beignets, fondue, candy toppings and slices of the wedding cake.

The dance floor was adequate for the small wedding and mostly older people who were not getting busy on the dance floor were seated. I would definitely return to Sam's again. Possibly for my own event planning. The facility was well maintained and professionally staffed.

Well done. read less

Unlimited drinks for an additional $10 with your brunch meal is rare for a Saturday! Highly recommend this location and ask to be seated in Phil's section. (Phil is wonderful!!!! And has been here for over 10 years) It is the best deal you will find in White Plains in an establishment that you would expect to be charged a higher price. Bring your friends and families!!

Thank you Sam's of Gedney Way! I'll be back soon!! read less

We were just there on Saturday and had a particularly amazing waiter named Ron.  He was so pleasant, helpful, accommodating, and sincere. The wait staff there is always good but Ron was exceptional.  Thanks Ron! read less

After my mom originally said she did not want a party, a week ago I decided to do a very last minute dinner party for her anyway.

I googled places in Westchester and White Plains that could give a prefix menu for 20-30, and Sam's was the second place I reviewed- I thought this is too good to be true. I called and spoke to manager Steve that day- he was warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. I went to Sam's the next day to see the place and it was very nice. I met with another manger Peter who was very kind and and also very knowledgeable, he help me set up that party from appetizers-salad course-3 choices for dinner-sangria toast-sampler dessert, it was perfect family bistro style that I was looking for!! I booked the all season patio then and there!!

Steve and his staff were flawless!! I did not have to ask for everything, they were on point with every detail. Jeremy our server was caring, kind and everyone thought he was so sweet- which he was. He treated us all with thoughtfulness and my mom truly felt like a Queen. I actually got to enjoy the night as a guest and did not feel like I was a host or event coordinator.

Ambiance was fabulous- I did bring flowers in vases for the table, they allowed me to use their tea light candles, the white on white setup was crisp and flawless. Service- impeccable. Management- helpful and friendly. Food- absolutely delicious, not one person complained about the food and we have some picky eaters!!

All in all, Sam's of Gedney Way went above and beyond my expectations. We were thoroughly pleased and this will be my go to for events, dinner or drinks in the near future because I need their Calamari again REALLY soon!!

Thank you Steve, Peter, Jeremy and everyone else at Sam's of Gedney Way for making my mom's 70th Birthday truly spectacular. read less

I was just most recently there 5 days ago with my current partner.  It was my first time having Sunday brunch there.  It was fairly busy so Im glad Id made a reservation for noon.  At brunch, we were each offered 1 complimentary drink (mimosa, bellini, or bloody mary) which was a completely unexpected gift.  We didnt buy further drinks but they were only $4.  Also prior to entrees, a small basket was given to the table which consisted of 2 mini chocolate croissants and 2 mini plain croissant halves. They also offer espresso which therefore includes an offering of cappuccino and lattes.  Having more than simple plain coffee is always a pleasure.  The 2 of us ordered 2 entrees and split both, which we often do.. overall, there were plenty more savory options than there were sweet.  We went for one savory dish and one sweet... eggs benedict which served thickly sliced slices of ham that were sort of a tasty and thick coldcut. In my opinion, it made the dish stand out somehow.  We also got a Belgian waffle which came with a generous topping of fresh berries.  The other sweet option was for a french toast which would have been more decadent, given that I saw it being served nearby and its what I will try next time. 😉 read less
