Southampton Town Police and Fire Marshals were investigating the blaze, the FRES official said. The official could not provide information regarding injuries or damage to the restaurant.
A post on the restaurant's Instagram thanked the first responders that were on the scene and confirmed the eatery will remain closed through Memorial Day “cleaning up and making repairs where we can.”
“Everyone is safe and ok,” the post reads. “We’re assessing the damage and will continue to post updates as we go through all of this.”
Dockers Waterside could not be reached Thursday morning. .
