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 Route 25A, which was previously Maggie’s Eatery. Attendees included Maureen Bond from the Mount Sinai-Miller Place Chamber of Commerce, Quentin Palifka from Legislator Chad Lennon’s office, and the restaurant 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 said. “It’s always inspiring to see a local business that brings people together through creativity and great food.”
Jon Kopstein, who resides in Port Jefferson and has experience as a chef, took over the site earlier this year. He transformed it into a space filled with art that celebrates local talent. Previously a sous chef at Maggie’s, Kopstein now offers an American fusion menu at his first independent venture.
The BlackSheep serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch while showcasing artwork from community members and students. This art reflects the theme of being a “black sheep,” aligning with the restaurant’s mission to embrace creativity.
