The Riverdale Banquet Hall

The Anastos family is a familiar name in the successful restaurant business.  Steve Anastos started in the restaurant business in 1968 in New York City and took his talents to this area where he and his sons Leon, John, and Jimmy are the proud owners of Broadway Diner for 20 years and have recently celebrated their 1 year anniversary of the opening of The Riverdale Banquet Hall.

The Riverdale Banquet Hall in Endwell got its name from Riverdale NY, the section of NYC Steve immigrated to from Greece and raised his three sons. The Riverdale is known for its class and elegance as well as delicious food and superior service.  Steve told us recently that he enjoys feeding people and loves to see the smiles on their faces when they eat.  And at 80 years young he has absolutely no plans of retirement anytime soon. As a way of giving back, Steve is a big supporter of local churches, fundraisers, not for profits, and schools… particularly the M.E. school district where he has made many donations and spearheaded the donation fund of the King Leonidas Statue in front of M.E. High School.

Thank you, Steve, for all you do to make this area a great place to live.
