A longtime Cedar Rapids restaurant that initially planned on reopening its doors Monday says its pushing back the date to do so.

Boston Fish, at 8th Ave and 5th Street SE, was set to shut down in May after 77 years of business. But just days before closing, the new owners had a change of heart.

It then temporarily closed down for updates and to hire more staff.

Owners planned on opening Monday, but according to a Facebook post that morning, there was a change of date.

"It is taking a little longer than we planned, but we have the place cleared out (it's amazing what you accumulate after 77 years.)," the post said.

The owners said they were also revamping the menu.

The post did not include a new date.
