My Grandmother, Veronica was a Navy Nurse in WWII and a proud member of the American Legion. A building that we are humbled to now share with other proud Veterans.Sag Harbor is a special village with a great history and a wonderful community of wildly talented, hardworking folks. We are honored to be a part of this community and hope to do it proud.~Billy

    A wonderful little restaurant with excellent food and service. I was in Montauk for 4 nights. A friend that lives in town bought us there Friday night and my wife and I returned on Monday. If you are in Montauk, it’s a must go!
