DRIFT & WAVE Kitchen is a popular restaurant known for its great atmosphere and prime location. The interior is super cute, and the view of the harbor adds to its charm. The food and drinks are generally delicious, with sushi receiving high praise for being the best on the island and possibly the best many have had in a long time. The menu includes Asian and South American fusion dishes, such as the pineapple roll and pork belly roll, which are highly recommended. The cocktail selection, including espresso martinis and mezcal drinks, is also excellent, with friendly bartenders providing personable and knowledgeable service.
While the restaurant offers an amazing experience, some reviews mention that the service can be inconsistent. On one occasion, waiting nearly an hour to be served and confusion about where to order food was frustrating. Despite this, many find the service attentive and friendly, with a chill atmosphere and great music, especially during lunch or a casual visit.
Prices are considered high by some, with steak tips and chicken Caesar salad seen as overpriced for the portions and quality. However, given the overall environment, food, and drink quality, it remains one of the better options near the beach. Overall, DRIFT & WAVE Kitchen is highly recommended for those seeking good food, drinks, and a lively, scenic setting.
