Description
Before its conversion to a restaurant in 1977, the building served as the City Island Post Office. Inside, guests eat under tall ceilings in a room with dim lighting, though outdoor dining is also available. The venue maintains a nostalgic draw for returning families and accommodates those looking for late-night dining.
