My husband & I went on my birthday and they were so sweet and went out of their way to help me celebrate my birthday. Our server Hayley was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food was wonderful, I loved the French onion soup. My husband doesn't get dessert often but he ordered the exotic bomba, he said it's his favorite dessert ever and will be coming back just for it. The experience was great and we will be returning. Our new favorite place!

My husband surprised me with dinner this evening at Drift for my birthday. Everything was perfectly cooked, the wine was fabulous, and the dessert decadent! Out server, Ashton was so sweet and kind, and made our very first experience at Drift absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for the perfect evening and we will definitely be back!

We highly recommend the Drift. My husband and I had just traveled down from NH to be with our son and his girlfriend. We sadly had an infant death in the family. Marshall, our server was amazing. His personality was refreshing and sincere. He was quick to recommend an alternative to my husband for not having the prime rib available. Marshall was so detailed in his description of the cut and how it was prepared, my husband was convinced to try it. He was not disappointed. This was also the first good meal our children were able to enjoy. Marshall made them smile, made us happy, shook my husband and sons hands, gave us ladies a hug goodbye and welcomed us back. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, but Marshall was what we needed. We look forward to seeing him again on a return visit to NC.

Very nice ambiance. I had the shrimp and grits (no ham) and it was delicious. Our server, Bill, was THE BEST. He was helpful with recommendations and extremely personable. It was my first time but I'll certainly be returning.

Not terrible, but I expected more. I called ahead to ensure they had heated outdoor seating, and was told yes they do. When we arrived, they escorted us to the “outdoor” section, which is really just a 5 foot extension of the main dining room- it’s very much indoors. I felt misled. I will say, they were very accommodating in trying to help us from that point in finding a table that met our accommodation needs. Our server was very nice and attentive. The brunch food was good, nothing exceptional but we enjoyed it. However, I was served coffee in a clearly dirty cup - there was still a lipstick print on it (see photo). That tells me not only did the server not pay attention to the cleanliness of the cup, but neither did those responsible for cleaning the dishes. It made me question how safe it is to eat there - on top of it just being gross. The server also brought out the wrong dessert wine - a small issue that by itself wasn’t a problem. It was just all of these missteps put together that made for a not so great overall experience. The view was nice, and the carrot cake was great. The staff members are friendly. I likely won’t return for the experience at this price point.

We go often by car and also with out boat. Food is great, nice atmosphere. We went this past Saturday 1-25 and Brit was our server and she was the BEST !! Thank you Brit. Thomas and Pattilee.
Absolutely outstanding evening celebrating my birthday at Drift! Someone greeted us at the door to welcome us in, we were seated promptly with a wonderful table and view. Megan was THE SWEETEST server we have had in a VERY long time. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel so special on my birthday with my husband! She went above and beyond to make the evening out without our 3 small kids memorable. The food was delicious and atmosphere (music, decor, cleanliness) were top notch. Even ended the evening with special birthday desserts and candle! We have shared our experience with friends and family! Thank you Drift for a fantastic evening. We will be back soon! (The Mac and cheese is SO yummy!)

Beautiful place, spectacular service. Food services were stellar, I only gave 4 stars because I'm used to a little more seasoned flavor for the dishes I had although the were still cooked to perfection 🥰 Go dine at the Drift, please!!
