This riverfront spot is absolutely stunning—if you dine at the right time, you’ll catch a nice sunset views. The atmosphere is cozy and aesthetic, perfect for a special occasion. While the menu isn’t huge, every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The drinks were fun and tasty, and the service was truly above and beyond. We came as a party of 12 for a friend’s birthday, and the staff handled it flawlessly with warmth and professionalism. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend

It's a place for drinks and vibes- and those are good. Food is not a reason to go.

This place is a great little hangout spot or date night spot so long as you eat before you show up. The atmosphere is very nice and the aesthetic is beautiful. The hostess was awesome, our waitress though was clearly ready to go home. It’s important to know though you’re pretty much just paying for the aesthetic. The drinks are extremely small, and the food portions are even smaller. For 4 very small sliders (enough to maybe satisfy a single person) , 1 drink, and some caviar, it came out to a little over $80 before the tip. With that said, the food was decent. Not great, but decent. So if you don’t mind paying the price of a full meal, for a small snack that doesn’t taste very impressive, come hungry. If you like to actually eat when you’re out, grab a meal from another establishment before showing up. The drinks were delicious, but as stated much smaller than drinks you’ll get almost anywhere else. Overall a nice experience. Would go back, just would not show up hungry.

Just went there this weekend for my birthday. The place was very pretty, loved the atmosphere. My service was great and my server Adrianna was so pleasant and friendly! She really made my birthday feel special! The food was lacking. I was hoping for more oyster options. The options they did have felt lackluster and taste wise was just simply okay. I would go back but only for drinks.

Stunning restaurant, but the food is incredibly expensive and not great. The deviled eggs were $12 and the portion was 4 very small, hard halves. We opted not to order the shrimp sliders—$15 for 2 that we were told would have been too small to share with the 4 of us. 4 dumplings. $12. Ridiculous. We paid our bill and went downstairs to eat. The pictures and menu shown are not correct; we were told they were for a different restaurant. So much potential, but we refuse to be ripped off.

Took my mom here. Had oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, and shrimp sliders. Oh, also had the watermelon crawl drink. The oysters were very good but they didnt bring us enough crackers ( 8 crackers for 12 oysters doesnt equal out). The shrimp were large but far from fresh and far from being even remotely ( Charleston or beaufort) sourced. And the shrimp sliders had no flavor at all. I wish I could tell all bartenders that a drink doesnt have to be strong to be good. In fact, it sometimes causes a good drink to be a really nasty one. This was that kind of drink. Could not drink more than 3 sips of it. The waitress checked on us 1 time. The table was way to small to hold more than 1 plate at a time. And it was overpriced for what we got. If it had not been for the good company I had with me I would have considered this a very dossapointing evening. They need to update their menu online ( both food and drink) because I didnt see half of what I had been looking forward to all week there.

Though the food was very delicious, portions were small and they don't have an entrée menu, just appetizer size.

Such a beautiful space. The location is literally perfect it feels like a beach front restaurant. Very elegant. The espresso martinis were so freaking good! The menu is small but the offerings are solid. I will definitely be revisiting.

My cousins and I went here and when I tell you the service, food and the drinks were on point. The general manager also talked to us and made sure that everything was exceeded our expectations. If you come to Drift, I recommend the shrimp sliders, the pot stickers and the wings.

Drift is an absolute gem on the river! The atmosphere is stunning with beautiful views, the food is fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the cocktails are some of the best around. Every visit feels like a mini getaway. The staff is friendly and attentive, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every detail. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a special night out, Drift never disappoints!

Great cocktails and the oysters were fantastic. Just ask for a little hot sauce to splash on top.
