Nestled at the corner of Muir, Drift Restaurant offers a pleasant dining experience with its stylish decor and nice vibe. The restaurant is known for its beautiful interior, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, whether dining inside or on the scenic outdoor patio. The menu is quite interesting, featuring dishes like the well-seasoned Nova Scotian Hodgepodge, the beautifully plated Maritime Oysters, and Atlantic Salmon Tartare, as well as the popular scallops and pork belly. While many guests have praised the food as amazing and the appetizers as creative, some customers have mentioned that the service can be inconsistent.
Reviewers have noted that although the food is often enjoyed, the service quality may vary. Some guests reported longer wait times for the bill and felt that the service did not always meet a true “fine dining” level. Additionally, a few visitors experienced issues with the water served. The atmosphere has been described as cozy and great for special occasions or dates, making it a memorable dining experience for those who appreciate quality cuisine. Drift also offers photogenic cocktails and desserts, like the Pecan Butter Tart Sundae, that cater to those with a sweet tooth. Visitors are advised to keep an open mind regarding service but can expect great east coast food in a chic setting.
