We had a tribble experience in this place. This is really not a place to chill and enjoy after a beach day. They started by seating us on a broken table with nails sticking out it which is clearly a safety hazard (picture below). Then we ordered a cabernet red wine, but the waitress brought us a white wine and ran away. We were waving to get her attention for 10 minutes. Finally another guy came and unbelievably took the white wine back without any proper apology and then we waited for another 10 minutes to get a simple glass of red wine in a plastic cup. While we were half way eating our food and our plates were still full, waitresses in pink shirt asked us if we want the check or are we done. So rude!!!

Heard of this place from a friend of mine, that it was renovated. Went here after a nice weekday afternoon on the Boardwalk. The Margherita options are outstanding, the Shrimp Creviche and chips w/ guac were a perfect start to a pleasant dinner. Food was great, the ambiance was nice with the open air dining room. The staff was very nice and the new owner, Ron, is a fantastic gentleman. Can't wait to go back!

After we got seated by the hostess, we watched two other tables be seated, and the waitstaff helped them without ever approaching our table.
As we left, the hostess was apologetic but that meant zero at that point.
P.S. the menu looked weak!

Food is overpriced the crispy Bonzai is the most disappointing and overpriced item on the menu. 5 shrimp in a carved out pineapple with no pineapple and a scoop of plain sticky rice and some mixed greens with no dressing used as a filler. This is either the owner or chef being lazy. Drinks were better in the can and our water they gave us tasted like it came from the water park. Who ever is running the kitchen needs to go to culinary school and learn not to disrespect food like this.

We had dinner here last night and it was a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant itself must be new and it has a nice vibe about it with good music. The indoor area has a small bar and outside there is a large seating area made up of picnic tables in the sand. There's a bar out there too. The guy singing and playing the guitar on their small stage was very talented. My poke bowl was great. I'd definitely come back here again!

I’m so happy to have finally tried drifters. Went on a Sunday night, not too busy and was met with great service and food. Our waitress was attentive, the mixed drinks were delicious and the menu had lots of options that differ from the normal fried food/ sandwiches of the boardwalk restaurants. My mom had the shrimp tacos and I had the chicken skewers and both were delicious. The price point is similar to other elevated bar/ restaurants down the shore. I can’t recommend enough, especially if you’re looking for a great atmosphere and quality food while enjoying a night in seaside heights.

The food is kinda overrated and the service wasn’t great. The server forgot about us and didn’t give us half of the stuff we ordered, she later tells us that they were given to a different table that came way after we did. Train your servers better.

My shrimp tacos tasted great but had very little shrimp in them. Our server forgot about us so our food came before our drinks. The other servers apologized though. Drinks tasted fine.
