Driftwood Bistro closing??

I have seen some reports that the Driftwood Bistro is closing "in September". Owner retiring supposedly.

Does anyone know when in September they are closing? I want one more treat of fried okra, shrimp, their bread pudding and to thank their great staff for many dozens of special dinners!
