A brand new dining experience is making its way to Port Jefferson this spring. P.J. Harbour Club, which is set to occupy the former location of Due Baci at 154 West Broadway, will offer Italian cuisine with an emphasis on steak and seafood. 

Friends and co-owners, Michael Russell and Joe Guerra, stumbled across the idea to open their own restaurant over a round of golf. The idea has since flourished into something much more tangible that Guerra and Russell hope to let customers experience come this April.

Russell, a recent retiree, has experience as a partner and investor in several restaurants over a 40 plus years-span while working for several major Wall Street firms. Guerra brings over 40 years of extensive experience in the restaurant and catering industry in restaurants and country clubs including Bryant and Cooper, Old Westbury Country Club and Cold Spring Country Club, where he spent the last two of his six years as the General Manager and CFO. 

The combined experience between the two friends only makes the expectations for P.J. Harbour club even higher, and its opening even more anticipated. Though an exact opening day has not yet been determined, Long Islanders can count on a great experience from Guerra and Russell soon.
