Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner joined community members and local business leaders on June 25 to celebrate the grand opening of The BlackSheep, a new eatery in Miller Place. The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at the restaurant’s new location at 465 Route 25A, formerly Maggie’s Eatery.
Bonner presented the owners with an official Certificate of Congratulations on behalf of the Town of Brookhaven for the grand opening of the restaurant.
“I’m excited to welcome The BlackSheep to Miller Place and look forward to seeing it become a staple in the neighborhood,” Bonner said. “It’s always inspiring to see a local business that brings people together through creativity and great food.”
Kopstein, a Port Jefferson resident and longtime chef, took over the location earlier this spring and has transformed it into a cozy, art-filled space that celebrates local talent and individuality. Formerly a sous chef at Maggie’s, Kopstein has launched The BlackSheep as his first independent venture, offering an inventive American fusion menu and an inclusive atmosphere.
In addition to offering lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, The BlackSheep features artwork from community members and students, each interpreting the idea of a “black sheep” in their own unique way — a nod to the restaurant’s mission of embracing creativity and celebrating those who stand out.
