Westchester Restaurant Announces Closure: Here's Last Day

A well-liked Westchester restaurant known for its unique cocktails and oysters has announced its last day in business.

Saltaire Oyster Bar and Kitchen , located in Port Chester at 55 Abendroth Ave., will open for the last time on Sunday, July 14, the owners announced on social media on Friday, July 5.

The owners, Leslie and Elizabeth Barnes, did not make a reason for the closure public.

The restaurant is known for offering a daily selection of oysters from several different regions, including Canada, northern New England, and even the West Coast. It also features a raw bar and serves sandwiches, salads, steak, and delicious sides like truffle lobster mac n' cheese.
