We went for dinner during the Queen's Feast special, and everything was marvelous. We were really impressed with the food. Beyond that, our last two visits, we had the same waitress, who was just outstanding and made the whole experience so much better. A big thanks to Kirsten - we hope management knows what an asset you are to the restaurant!

We dined at Drift for the extended Queens Feast. The atmosphere was quiet, dim and warm. We sat upstairs. Our waiter Curtis was very friendly, and informative. The food was fantastic. We were extremely pleased with the serving size. Every course exceeded the other. Very reasonable, glad we were able to try during restaurant week. Will recommend to friends and others as well as be back ourselves! Thank you.

Our waitress, Sarah was incredible! She was so attentive and made a normal dinner night so much more. So grateful for her for making a fun experience!

My daughter and I had the best time celebrating her birthday! Our food was delicious and the people working were so kind and even hand wrote her a little birthday card. It was a perfect evening

Except for being put in a corner with no view it was a good experience. Where they sat us there was no view except of a fire alarm panel. Eric the server and the great steaks were the saving grace. They knew it was our 5 year anniversary, they said happy anniversary when we checked in. There were some what I assumed, was paint drips on the wall.

Had a fantastic experience, didn't rush us, food came out quickly, and keep an eye on us for refills. Food tasted fabulous.

Took my wife to celebrate her birthday. Curtis and staff made it amazing! Hands down the best meal and service we have ever received! The atmosphere was perfect! Everything we ordered was exceptional! We live in Cleveland,TN . My wife was in Gastonia for work. She has celiac and they were so accommodating to her needs and made her feel special. Thank you for making her night so memorable. We will visit again!

I booked this restaurant as we were celebrating a special occasion with my aunt and uncle. My uncle had to wait over 30 mins for a pilsner with the excuse that there was no beer glasses. This was not communicated to us. The food was excellent when it came but it was an hour coming. This is just not acceptable. Whilst desserts were offered as compensation for the earlier mis communication the harm was done with the lack of communication at the outset. Server was also not visible for periods of time so we could not get clarifications. Communication with customers is essential to maintain goodwill. Thank you for the wonderful food.

We had a wonderful experience tonight. We had a reservation at 5:30 and Georgia was our server. It was my mom's birthday and it was me, my husband, my 1.5 year old son, my mom and stepdad. The hostess brought my son Seth a tshirt over when we sat down and Georgia was attentive and wonderful the whole time. Then, she brought over a champagne toast for my mom's birthday. When we were leaving I thanked the hostess again for my son's shirt and making my mom's birthday so special and she said you guys like to make sure people know you're family friendly. What a WONDERFUL evening. We live 5 minutes away and how lucky are we to have you in our community. ❤️
As always, the wait staff was very attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. We traveled from Columbia, SC to visit friends and a special birthday dinner. We were not disappointed. The only thing that could have made the experience perfect was the temperature in the area in which we were sitting. We were seated near the outer area, as the inner tables were reserved. We were asked about a table in the general aisle, which was not preferred. A space heater was provided for our table, however since the windows are covered by plexiglass, it still remained cold. The food and staff far outweighed the cold seating area. We will continue to consider Drift for special occasions and a fine dining experience.

Me and my family ate dinner this past Saturday night. My wife Lisa along with my son Cameron  and his wife Madison  and my mother-in-law Susan. Everybody had different dishes. Absolutely fabulous. Will give the food a 10 star if I could. My sweet granddaughter Grace had the shrimp cocktail. Our waiter was Curtis. He was absolutely amazing, has a very good memory and is very cordial. Did not miss a step. This is probably the only restaurant where you will see the manager, Jennifer Out working tables. Something you don't see at most restaurants. Never even seen the manager , at most restaurants, let alone have her come by and say hello. I had the bone in fillet which was cooked to perfection. Lightly blackened and medium rare. Susan had the salmon and it was wonderful. My wife, Lisa. And daughter-in-law Madison had the seafood pasta. And pretty much cleaned the plate. My son Cameron had the scallops and they were done to perfection. Drank a few bourbons with Prosecco and Lisa had a few margaritas that were wonderful. I would give this restaurant a 10 star rating

The Drift was very cold inside. We complained three times and our table was moved slightly to the left to try to avoid the draft. It was not very effective. People were sitting with their jackets on. When others complained the fans were lowered. The food was very good, but I am not sure it is worth the price. The menu was a little limited. The food and service was good but I am not sure that we are returning.

We enjoyed Drift's Thanksgiving special, our first time on the beautiful upper level. Our waiter (Jason ?) was very attentive, including providing a small space heater since it was a cold evening and we were seated next to outside wall. Menu selections were very good, and the cooked food came out in reasonable time; it was perfectly cooked - very tasty. We look forward to returning to Drift for their good food, good service, and pleasant atmosphere. Bill P.

Overall a very decent place. Hard to find fault with but I will on just one issue. I had the beef tips for thanksgiving dinner and there was significant chewy, stringy fat in the meat. Couldnt eat most of it. Besides that, I enjoyed my dinner.
