Spindrift Restaurant (on the Delta Loop) is now open and doing business. This well-known Delta eatery and watering hole has a long history going back to the sixties but has been closed for the last several years.
Months of hard work went into bringing the establishment back into shape and up to modern code. On the outside you will see new decking and ramps. Quite a bit of remodeling and renovation has been done, but those of you who remember Spindrift from the old days will still feel at home. There was a deliberate effort to keep most of it's classic Delta ambience intact.
Spindrift Restaurant is now open Wednesday through Sunday. The bar opens at three and food is served beginning at five.
Parking is available on the levee or take the thrilling drive off the road to parking behind the restaurant.
The store located below the restaurant has yet to re-open. I had a look at it two weeks ago. The old walk-in beverage locker has been joined by three other walk-ins to widen the selection of refrigerated goods. The aim is to have a market where lettuce, milk and most things that boaters want to find at a stop will be available without leaving Andrus Island. That will be nice.
The old green and red beacon on top of Spindrift Restaurant is working again. It was on when I stepped in on New Years' Eve.
