Duo Opens New Restaurant In Amityville

AMITYVILLE, NY - A new restaurant recently popped up in Amityville.

Bayview Kitchen officially opened on 393 Bayview Avenue at the former site of George's Diner on August 1.

Local officials came out to support co-chefs Antoine Reid and Asim Henry during the grand opening celebration.

"Watching these three men’s dream of owning their own restaurant become reality was inspiring," Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre said.

Reid, an Amityville native, previously lived just a few short blocks away from the restaurant until a fire destroyed it last December, Newsday reports.

"These young men put in their blood, sweat, and tears to make their dream of opening their own restaurant a reality," Legislator DuWayne Gregory wrote in a post on Facebook. "We wish them all the luck in the world on their journey."

Bayview offers a variety of comfort Caribbean fusion foods.

The business is open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays until 11 p.m. and Sundays until 3:30 p.m.
