Cortlandt Colonial Manor Restaurant is a 90 seat restaurant and 200 seat catering venue located in Northern Westchester County in the Town of Cortlandt. NY. Visit www.CortlandtColonial.com for information.

The restaurant was originally opened on October 9, 1978 as a partnership between three young Greek immigrants with a vision and an excellent work ethic—George Liaskos, Peter Tsagarakis, and Steve Hanziargiriou. Over the years, the two partners were bought out and the business was taken over exclusively by George and his family and is still owned and operated to this day by the Liaskos family.

In addition to George, and his wife, Kathy, the matriarch of the family, the restaurant is now operated by the second generation of the Liaskos family—brother and sister, Evan Liaskos and Irene Flor. Evan serves as the General Manager/Executive Chef and is a graduate of the famed Culinary Institute of America. Irene is a graduate of the University of New Haven School of Hospitality.

The Cortlandt Colonial Manor is open for lunch and dinner daily, and hosts weddings and special events celebrating all types of life's occasions. The business is well known as a family-owned and operated restaurant and catering facility with deep roots in the community. It is currently one of the oldest restaurants in Westchester County that has been continuously owned and operated by the same family under the same business name.

In addition to the Cortlandt Colonial Manor, George also developed the Holiday Inn Express hotel in Peekskill, NY.
