Landmark Longboat restaurant says it will reopen

Euphemia Haye, the landmark restaurant that abruptly closed about three weeks ago on Longboat Key, announced on social media Thursday evening it would be open again for business Memorial Day weekend.

“We are thrilled to announce that we’re reopening our doors tomorrow, Friday, May 23 – and we’ve missed you more than words can say,’’ read the opening of the Facebook message posted around 5 p.m. Thursday.

The post immediately drew a flurry of responses from more than 100 commenters. Most were supportive.
