Wow! What a great meal! We started with a tini. Then, shared the tuna appetizer and a beet salad. For the main course, I got the halibut special and my wife got the Chilean sea bass. Amazing! Great service and ambience. We'll be back!
Went to dinner for my husband's birthday. He wanted seafood in a low key place on the water close to home and this met the expectations. Food and cocktails were delicious and loved the decor. Prices were fair, in line with other places we've been to recently. Only drawbacks were the noise level (super loud people at the table next to us didn't help) there's no real sound buffer, and although it wasn't crowded our waitress wasn't really attentive. Had to flag her down for drink refills after having empty glasses for at least 20 mins. Seemed like they were short staffed as she was handling tables both inside and outside. Oh and it was a special birthday which I noted when I made the reservation and they didn't do anything special. No offer for dessert or even a “Happy Birthday”. It was still a great dining experience and we would go back.
I love the experience in this restaurant. The food is out of this world flavors or amazing view is romantic.  it's clean happy environment. A bit on the pricey side however, the food is excellent. I have not had any complaints.
When we arrived, we were told the only seating available was outside due to a private event. It was a cool and damp evening and it started to rain when we were looking over the dessert menu. If they are hosting an event, they should notify those who reserved prior to let them know seating can only be accommodated outside.
We ate outside. Beautiful day. We started with a wedge salad. We then had the mahi mahi tacos. All was delicious. We then finished with a tiramisu and an espresso martini. It was a great experience.
We had a great lunch with excellent recommendations from our server Valerie. Tasty steak tidbit app to share with our table of 4 and huge fish tacos and fish and chips! Had a great view of the water as we dined. Our first but surely not our last visit!
Nothing special. They rave about their lobster bisque, yet it was unimpressive. The seafood chowder lacked...well, enough seafood to satisfy. The coconut shrimp were just four on a plate of nothing else but lettuce decor. The beet salad was kind of tasteless. The salmon on top wasn't fresh, probably from frozen because the only place salmon is on the menu is to add it to a salad. Someone else had the fish and chips, which consisted of plenty of coating and very little fish. We won't return anytime soon. Too bad because the location is nice.
Great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food in a beautiful setting. Great value for the money which is hard to find today.
It was a lovely dinner and beautiful afternoon. The food was delicious. We order a duplicate meal to take home. The staff are very pleasant . Thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent restaurant! Great food, very friendly and social staff. Nice menu with many options. Great views and love the live music!

Always a great time at Drift82. Food always consistently good. Apps included oysters Rockefeller, scallops special, baby lamb chops, entrees mussels, and Bronzino band was great, not too crowded, perfect weather. 
I've been Here once before. I had the mahi-mahi which was delicious. On this visit, I got the drift lobster dish. The lobster was a bit skimpy and the sauce I didn't care for. It was a little bit Too sweet. We did have the calamari that we shared at the table and this was good. Be aware there's red peppers in there so if you don't want them either see if they can remove them before cooking or choose a different appetizer. My son had the Leftover mac & cheese which he said was great. It's a nice atmosphere. Service was a little bit sluggish That day. It was also very noisy. Overall, we'll go back again. It was good.
The atmosphere was great for lunch!! Great service and great food on the water!! What more could you ask.. Will definitely be back soon!!
We have always enjoyed the singers and bands at this restaurant. Unfortunately, this particular band came off as more noise which made the evening far less enjoyable.
Fun spot. Althought a bit price, food is really good for a casual spot. Location on the water and live bands make for a great summer vibe.
