Driftlight Steakhouse Reviews
Driftlight Steakhouse exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the perfectly crafted martinis to the delectable Sweet Kiss oysters that melted in our mouths, every bite was a delight. The fabulous wedge salad and sweet potato bread were superb starters. The Delmonaco steak was cooked to perfection, and the seared salmon with carrot cream sauce was a flavorful delight. The evening culminated with a heavenly crème brulee and a perfectly brewed cappuccino. Impeccable service...read full review
Delicious food, and luxurious, upscale ambiance. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. I got the New York strip steak, my wife the salmon and my son the shrimp macaroni and cheese (side was big enough for him to use as an entrée) and we all loved it.

Driftlight Steakhouse provides an exceptional dining experience with expertly prepared dishes and an impressive drink menu. The steak is cooked to perfection, and the food is flavorful and robust. Side dishes like the delicious sweet potato bread and carrot cream sauce beautifully complement the main courses. The atmosphere is high-end yet casual, warm and inviting, with elegant decor and just the right lighting for a perfect evening. The food is extraordinary, featuring beautifully presented dishes made from fresh ingredients. The incredible Wagyu and perfectly seared scallops showcase the kitchen's passion for excellence. The dessert board, including the Nutella basque cheesecake, provides a perfect finale to a great evening.
Service at Driftlight is generally attentive, with staff, management, and even the sommelier making an effort to visit tables. While one reviewer mentioned a lack of enthusiasm during their anniversary dinner, others praised the great service. A personal waiter exemplified hospitality, being attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. Water glasses are kept full, and the timing between courses is impeccable. The attention to detail, from spotless silverware to personalized greetings, makes diners feel welcomed and valued. Although the prices are on the higher side, the overall quality of the food, service, and ambiance makes Driftlight Steakhouse a well-worth-it destination for special occasions or an unforgettable meal.
