Drift Beach Bar and Restaurant

Had lunch and drinks with another couple. Service was fast and attentive. Location and decor superb. Food was fine, and priced where you might expect for the location. It has it’s own beach access, so we were able to go out for a walk and come back. Not crowded for mid summer lunch on a Monday. Great afternoon hanging with friends.

Awful service.
My friend had a reservation for 5. We were sat right away and then not a single server stopped by to even greet us for over 15 minutes. The restaurant wasn't even busy. We told the hosts as we decided to walk out and of course they couldn't have cared less, which is what I'd expect from a couple of 16 year olds working summer jobs. Don't waste your time going to this restaurant.

Its okay but the portion was way too small. The scallops were nearly $40 and you get like nothing. At least put more risotto in there like why are you being stingy about the risotto? Not worth it

One of our favorite places. Amazing restaurant on the dunes that has great food. Cant believe they got rid of the sidewinder fries, they were so good.

The Drift Bar is a beautiful space, but unfortunately, that’s the only positive thing I can say about it.

The service was awful — the bartenders were more interested in chatting with their friends who came to visit than serving customers. It was nearly impossible to get a drink, even while sitting at the bar.

As for the food, my husband ordered the crabcakes, which were a total letdown. $20 for three tiny bites served on a metal tray with zero presentation (see photo). For that price, you’d expect at least a garnish or something that shows a little effort.

It’s clear the focus here is more on style over substance. Would not recommend and definitely won’t be returning.

Pleasant wait staff, my 'Porky Lovers' omelette was tasty, but the cocktails feel a little light on the spirits they're based on. A saving grace here is their nice selection of craft beers.
My wife and I look forward to returning.

Great beach bar, though not on the sand, etc. and view of the dunes not the beach.

Great beach side restaurant and bar. Service was quick and polite. I had a ribeye steak, which was cooked to my liking, and the potatoes were very well seasoned. The restaurant and bar are very nice areas and well maintained and have just the right amount of class to be nice, without being too expensive.

Our second visit and it was as good as the first! We feel like we're on vacation sitting on the covered terrace. The service is friendly and efficient. They were out of my fav Sauvignon blanc and our handsome server offered to bring me a taste of other wines . For dinner, I started with the watermelon salad that was delicious especially on a warm summer evening. For my entree, I ordered the drunken clams that are the tastiest I've ever had. They add roasted tomatoes to the garlic broth and it really adds a whole level of taste to the steamed clams. My husband had his usual plain burger that he said was cooked as ordered and was very tasty. Our only complaint and it really isn't a big deal but it's very noisy when there are large groups. Oh well, people are enjoying themselves on vacation! We'll be back!

Excellent dining experience great service great setting, great food, and excellent calming atmosphere.

The hotel is beautiful but the food was just really really bad. The shrimp cocktail was bait. I think someone ran down to the ACME and bought the frozen shrimp ring because some were still partially frozen. The oysters were not served on ice and were warm. All of our food- apps, entrees were served all at once - the Brussels sprouts appetizer was inedible. We were very disappointed.

Service was very good here and the restaurant has good vibes, but there's a limited menu and my food wasn't to very good. I requested the ribe eye medium rare, but it's about 1/4” 3/8” thick and when grilled flipped three times and re-orientated twice for the crossed burn marks, it's never going to be medium rare. It came out well done.
