On June 25, Councilwoman Jane Bonner participated in the grand opening of The BlackSheep, a new restaurant in Miller Place. The event took place at the eatery's location on 465 Route 25A, previously known as Maggie’s Eatery. Attendees included Maureen Bond, Vice President of the Mount Sinai-Miller Place Chamber of Commerce; Quentin Palifka, Legislative Aide from Legislator Chad Lennon’s office; and owners Jon and Ashley Kopstein with their children.
Councilwoman Bonner presented an official Certificate of Congratulations to the owners on behalf of the Town of Brookhaven. She expressed her enthusiasm for the new establishment: “I’m excited to welcome The BlackSheep to Miller Place and look forward to seeing it become a staple in the neighborhood,” she stated. “It’s always inspiring to see a local business that brings people together through creativity and great food.”
Jon Kopstein, a resident of Port Jefferson and experienced chef, took over the site earlier this year. Previously serving as a sous chef at Maggie’s, he has now launched his first independent venture with The BlackSheep. The restaurant offers an American fusion menu within an art-filled space that emphasizes local talent.
The BlackSheep serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch while showcasing artwork by community members and students interpreting the theme "black sheep." This reflects its mission to embrace creativity and celebrate individuality.
