Hung out in the outside bar! What a phenomenal experience. Live music, and you can’t beat the vibes. The lobster roll was packed with meat and delicious. But what really made our experience memorable was. The Service. The bar was full and the Bartender Marty was on his game. He was attentive, extremely knowledgeable and can make a phenomenal drink. The service at Drift is what sets them apart from every where else.

I’ve been here before and had a great experience. Tonight was not one of them.
For starters, we were celebrating 2 friends birthdays, there was 7 of us. The air conditioner was dripping on one of us, the waitress did not care. WE had to move the chairs around and she gave an attitude about that. Then we asked what the specials were, 2 girls weren’t there yet, she complained that she had to say them twice. I ordered the beet salad with well done steak and romaine lettuce. The steak was rare, missing the cheese and was on a few pieces of lettuce. I wish I took a picture. The waitress said it was because I changed from the arugula? We all said it was the most pathetic salad ever. The waitress did notice the red meat and brought it back well done, but by that time everyone was eating. No one was impressed with the meals, fettuccine, lobster Mac and cheese and oysters. It was a very disappointing experience. From the service to the food.

We’ve always enjoyed Drift and have brought many friends and family there over the years, so it’s disappointing to share this experience. We came to celebrate my birthday, but after waiting nearly two hours for our entrées, we ended up asking for the food to-go.

Our server was kind and did her best, but the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed. What stood out most was the complete lack of acknowledgment from management. Having worked in the service industry myself, it was surprising that no one stepped in to address the delay.

I ended up eating a lobster roll on the couch at 9:45pm, not quite the birthday dinner I had imagined. I really hope this was just an off night, as we’ve always loved coming here.

Super long wait, over an hour for our food to arrive to our table, unbelievable, mocktails definitely not worth it.

Went for appetizers, had tuna tartar, absolutely delicious. Then my wife and I each had mussels. WOW, the size of the platter that came out was very large. Also was delicious. So worth the $$. Will definitely be going back.

Cool spot. Food was bad all around and found bug in one dish. They handled it professionally but will not be going back.

The food was great, along with our server! At 1st, they tried to seat us at a table that was too small & the hostess seemed to be annoyed to move us. Besides that, great place! Already have plans to go back!

My husband and I decided last minute to go out to eat on Sunday, since it was a beautiful day. We were happy to be able to get reservations by the water at The Drift 82.  The service was outstanding, and the food delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant .

Ruined birthday dinner. Took 2 hours to get our entree. Food was bland and dry. Music was insanely loud even though we were sitting far from the band.
