After landing in Halifax following a red-eye we were pleased to see such a nice restaurant open for breakfast right on the water. The blueberry pancakes were delicious! Only a few berries per pancake but that was okay with me because the pancakes themselves were delicious. There was a brown sugar crumble on top and it was like crack!! The only disappointment was the bacon which, while good quality and thick, was overcooked. Would go back for dinner.
Had a great meal at Drift, the food was exceptional and the server was very knowledgeable.
Knocking off a star as the food was very slow to come out. It was over two hours between being sat and receiving our main courses resulting in us missing the last ferry. We were provided two free desserts to share between the six of us due to the delay.

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.
