Bittersweet moment... a beautiful evening on our last day of service. It was a great 20+ years as our lease has ended and the landlord is developing the property. Looking forward to serving Sheepshead Bay for another 20+ years in our new location. Stay tuned for details. Thanks to our loyal guests for your support over the years. Can't wait to see you again soon.
