Right near Crestwood train station, in Eastchester, An American Bistro has been a staple of the Westchester dinner scene for years, in several locations. This location is the nicest. We were able to get reservations for 7:45 pm on a Saturday night due to a last minute cancellation.
Service was excellent, everything from the bus boy who said he was 17 years old but appeared to be about 13, and the wonderful waitress who insisted on bringing me a rarer piece of meat after my dinner appeared to be overcooked.
We did not have drinks. I ordered the special appetizer salad of the day ($6.50 with an entree), which was not extraordinary. It was, however, much larger than the salads that automatically come with the dinner (which the wait staff repeatedly reminded us of). It had lots of greens, fried brie (not that great, actually), beets, walnuts and some other stuff. Next time, get the salad that comes with the dinner.
My meal - ordered sauteed calves liver, which came with many pieces and was delicious, even as it was initially prepared, medium instead of rare. It was soft and delicious and melted in my mouth. It was prepared with smoked bacon, which sounded good, but truthfully, I do not like bacon. The mashed potatoes were very good, the vegetables on the side, tasting of fresh butter.
S. my husband, had and enjoyed the steak sandwich. Y. had pasta (orichette) with shrimp seasoned with coconut. A. had the fusilli.
We saw some Edgemont folks including one set of my son's friend's parents. We did not have coffee or dessert, instead having this back at our friends' house along with a movie - Two Days in Paris.
All in all, we enjoyed our meal.
