I have been to peniche a several times since it’s opened. The ambiance and service is great from bartenders like Seth who will go an extra mile. I read a blog by Kathy stating the 25ish should go to mamaroneck ave.I do not see anything wrong with 25ish hanging out in a new trendy restaurant,, As you all know white plains has a disability of trendy places , so when a new trendy place opens in town it doesn’t mean it’s meant for the slightly older , the next thing we will be reading from Kathy is that the place is full of different too many African Americans and Spanish people. Catch up Kathy seems like the train left you . If you can’t hang around the 25is-30ish then please you are most welcome to go somewhere else where your $30 a night would be welcome . I believe the 25ish bring in better business than you do You, your arrogances is intolerable.

As impressed and happy as I was on Monday when Penice opened, I was equally disappointed and unimpressed Friday evening. I had dinner with friends at a great little italian restaurant (La Bocca) on Church Street. I told my friends how impressed I was with Peniche and we should take a walk over. At 11:00 we left the resaturant to go to Peniche for a couple of after dinner drinks. We walked from Church to Main Street. As we got within sight of Peniche, we saw a crowd standing in front. As we got closer, we noticed a group of noisy young (25ish) people hanging out in front (like the bars on Mamaroneck Ave). We ventured inside and the bar was crowded (again with young 25ish people, the music was extemely loud and the dining area also was full of young noisy people hanging out at the tables and the music was loud. I love a crowd and good music but I never expected Peniche to turn into that type of place. Hopefully the youngish set will go to Mamaroneck ave and let the slightly older (30ish 40ish set) enjoy some cocktails and music you can actually talk over.

I was there on Monday evening when he reopened. Anthony served complimentary tapas that were delish – many of them were on the Trotters menu… Service and ambiance are excellent as always…. They will do well. The restaurant was quite busy and a visit by the Mayor was a nice touch. The bar does have an industrial feel to it. There is not a lot of space behind the bar stools so if the bar gets crowded on a weekend night,getting past can be tough.

Can’t wait for your review, it looks like they did a great job with the interior.

Is it just me or does this interior remind you of PF Chang’s??
