Set to open in July across from the Deering Estate at 16800 Old Cutler Rd., Old Cutler Inn is the reimagining of a beloved Palmetto Bay institution, which was formerly known as Snowden's (located down the street at 7271 SW 168th St.). Established in the 1920s by George Snowden on land purchased from Charles Deering during the Perrine Land Grants, Old Cutler Inn quickly became a landmark for the community.
