Spenger Grotto to Open Saturday (April 1, 1943)
On Saturday Spenger’s Fish Grotto will be open to the public in the famous old ferry “Encinal” which is now located in Benicia city limits, two miles west of town on the Benicia-Vallejo highway.
Spenger Brothers who have had many years in specializing in fish and steak dinners, promise the public the same high class quality of foods and service that they maintain in their famous cafe in Berkeley. Their Berkeley establishment has been in operation since 1930 and the “Encinal” was anchored and operated as a cafe at San Rafael for six years, and was towed here several months ago.
The ferry was first launched at San Francisco in 1887 and was operated on San Francisco Bay by the Southern Pacific Company until sold to the Spenger's.
The management here will be under the direct supervision of Paul Spenger, and Frank Spenger will remain at the Berkeley Cafe.
