Thank you Rubens for your hospitality as we listened to the lieutenant governor of New York State thank you for having it right in the heart of Peekskill. My compliments goes to the chef. There was an open buffet with amazing vegan food that I tried for the first time. A variety as well of delicious appetizers. I look forward to eating more healthier like this LOL great hospitality as well and their chicken wingettes was crisp and delicious❤️thank you❤️💯

Ruben’s came through.
Sat at the bar and Angela solved all my problems.
Black bean soup, then veggie burrito- served with refritos, rice, & salad. Of course, there were the complementary chips & salsa.
