To Our Beloved Community, Customers, and Friends,
After 46 wonderful years, the time has come to turn the page and begin a new chapter. It is with a heart full of gratitude that I announce my upcoming retirement and transition out of Eastridge Family Restaurant.
When my parents, Athanasios (Tommy) and Zaharia (Susie), started this business, they built it on hard work, great food, and a deep love for the Irondequoit community. I joined them behind the line when I was just 20 years old, and serving you all over the past four decades alongside my family has been the honor of my life.
A milestone like 46 years doesn’t happen without an extraordinary team. To my fiercely loyal, hard-working staff—many of whom have been by my side for decades—thank you. You are family, and this place would be nothing without your dedication, laughs, and grit.
To our regular customers and the entire Irondequoit community: thank you for welcoming us into your daily lives, your family traditions, and your milestone celebrations. Watching generations of families walk through our doors has been the greatest gift.
As I get ready to turn 66 and step into retirement, I look back on these 46 years with immense pride and joy. We don't have an exact final closing date just yet—we plan to keep our doors open and serve you for as long as we possibly can in these coming months!
Please note that we will be closed for our Summer Vacation from Wednesday, August 19th through Monday, August 24th so our team can recharge.
When we reopen on Tuesday, August 25th, our updated hours will be:
Monday – Sunday: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
A Note on Gift Cards: If you or a loved one have any outstanding gift cards, please be sure to stop by and use them as soon as possible before our final closing!
We hope you’ll stop by in the coming months, share a story, and enjoy a meal with us as we celebrate this incredible journey. We will keep everyone updated as our timeline becomes clearer.
With endless gratitude and love,
Aleka
And the Entire Family & Staff at Eastridge Family Restaurant
