If you’re looking for a cute unassuming dinner place with indoor and outdoor seating then come to Driftwood. You will not regret this decision!Food/drinks: The drinks were excellent and the food was scrumptious. Wow! The cauliflower appetizer was our favorite and we also enjoyed the milk bread. We also ordered the shrimp and grits which was good but the cauliflower app was the winner at our table.Atmosphere: This is a cute smaller place with a good amount of indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. The patio area is a much different feel than the indoor dining area and I would recommend outdoor dining for a more wholesome experience.Price: The prices here are fairly normal for the prices of restaurants in this area. The quality of the food was worth it to us!Parking: There is a parking lot by the restaurant so you don’t have to pay for parking.

Ok so the family and I came here on a Saturday night which is usually against my rule of going out since you know weekends are a mad house.We saw this place after the wife wanted to find somewhere in boynton beach. We found out the map was wrong on here as it showed 3 miles north but I called the place and found it.We parked in the Sherman Williams parking lot due to the restaurant's parking lot being full. We walked in and did not have a reservation. Fun fact, have a reservation on a Saturday night. Luckily, they had a table open outside on the patio.We sat down and met our waiter Fransisco. He was very outgoing and excited to tell us about the menu as it's sustainable and local farms contribute to it.We ended up ordering the chicken wings which had a crème fresh sauce with coche cheese. We ordered beef tartar as I never tried that before. We also ordered Chicken oysters. The wings were delicious ! The sauce was very delicious as well. The beef tartar was excellent as well as it sat on top a bloomin onion thing. The star was the chicken oysters and I use star loosely as everything was excellent. The chicken oysters had like a sweet kick to it and reminded me of a chicken and waffles with delicious pasta underneath. It was dynamite.We then ordered braised beef and golden tile fish. The beef was delicious with a red sauce which wasn't strong at all. The tilefish was light and came out in a bag with a popcorn sauce. Everything was delicious.We then got dessert if we weren't already busting out buttons off our pants. First Fransisco then said they have the best expresso martini in palm beach which made my wife order it. My wife loved it. We then had the cornbread with mascarpone ice cream, blue berry and bee pollen. Holy snikeys I thought I saw heaven! We ate the hell out of that plate. It didn't last more than 45 seconds. That warm cornbread was to die for with the ice cream. It all went together well. Then came a homemade ice cream sandwich which was also amazing.We then, being fattys and who we are, ordered another corn bread ice cream. We devoured that one too. We were soooo full but damn it was so worth it. We ate everything.

Food was amazing, out of this world. The person that cooks truly is in love with food. The table service was great. We are locals so we will continue to eat here for sure.I do have to complain about your host, who became HOSTile when he pointed out my reservation mistake. I happened to book at Driftwood Queens at 7 by mistake. He reluctantly gave us a table but told me to make sure we were out of there by 8. So rude. We felt rushed and btw half of the amount of tables were available at that time. I did make the mistake of confronting him at the end, since he made our experience too stressful, and got nothing out of the exchange. Not an apology, nothing.

Came tonight for a belated valentines dinner. Had a 5pm reservation but came at 4 to have some drinks at the bar. Had 2 drinks each then cashed out to go to our table outside. We had an earlier reservation so it wasn't busy at all. We sat for 35 minutes, all dressed up, servers coming & going yet no1 acknowledged us. We decided to leave after that long. The drinks were great & I'm sure the food is too but unfortunately we didn't get to try it. My husband went inside to tell the host that no1 has come to us & he didn't say anything. Very disappointed.
Great relaxed service. Creative menu. Loved the Spanish Mackeralstarter- many textures and flavors. Always order the Chicken Liver Pate!Swordfish is fabulous ( maybe the chimichurri side sauce was a bit much for the fish). Spiny Lobster risotto was amazing. Menu should note that it is spicy. Perhaps lighten up on the heat! But so delicious!

We a party of 2 had a 7 pm reservation on Saturday night and we got seated right away. I sent back my first specialty drink as it tasted like medicine. The second was much better.The online menu did not match the menu at the restaurant and that was a disappointment as there was a dish we would have ordered. In this day and age of online presence there is no excuse for not keeping up with a website.Overall the appetizers were great. My Wahoo for $36 was small in portion and kind of tough and smokey so I did not really enjoy it. I did not bother to send it back. The other dish was a mushroom vegetable dish and was very good in portion and flavor.The service was very good, however the booth seat I was in was extremely lumpy and I had a hard time finding a comfortable position. The other side of the table seat was ok and not lumpy.Overall it was very good but the fish dish I ordered was really small in portion and being a fisherman and having the freshest of fish, I could not tell that it was really Wahoo. The sweet potato was very good but not much of it.If I go back I would skip the entrées and just get the appetizers and small plates.

Wow. What a fancy place to dine! We didn't have reservations and we could have used them. The restaurant was very busy. We were lucky enough to get seated outdoors. I wish I could remember the name of our server because she deserves special recognition. I was so impressed with her knowledge of the menu, which changes to some extent every night. Same thing can be said about her knowledge of the wine list. We had the deviled eggs and the truffle fries for the four of us at the table. Outstanding. It's been over a week since we dined there and I cannot remember what everyone ordered. I had the Driftwood burger and it came prepared as requested, a perfect Medium Rare. We ended up staying quite a while, moving indoors after our server was nice enough to find us a spot, as it was an unusually chilly night. Had such a great time. I'm visiting my brother from out of state and I've never dined so elegantly! The staff definitely had there "A" game on. Despite the large crowd of diners, they moved swiftly and fluidly throughout the place , not missing a beat and attending to everyone with sharp professionalism.
Plates here are simply amazing ?!
