Chinese Food at the Ice Palace

DK — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:11:54 +0000

I ventured over to Cherry Grove last night for dinner at the Ice Palace. They have a special $5 chinese buffet every wednesday, as well as half-priced wine. The food was pretty good, the manager said they got their stuff from a chinese place in Sayville. I recommend it to anyone who is floating around at the beach during the weekdays.
