After having been to Driftwood twelve times I can confidently say it’s the only restaurant in Seattle worth dining at.
Lots of places make claims about freshness and local ingredients, but chef Dan Mallahan shops at the Farmers Market two days a week. It’s not a joke or a gimmick. If you want to eat food grown exclusively in Washington State, that tastes real, then Driftwood is the spot. They serve tomatoes that actually have flavor, delicious veggie dishes,...read full review

We had a fantastic dining experience for our anniversary- the atmosphere was very welcoming, service was warm and friendly, and each dish was arranged with care and a clear love for the ingredients. Each plate was delicious. We can't wait to come back and experience a different seasonal menu!
The menu is simple, unique and very delicious. The staff is oh so wonderful. The view is spectacular. Can't recommend it enough

Driftwood is a hidden gem offering sensational food and a beachy atmosphere. The menu features unique seafood dishes, including oysters, sturgeon, rockfish, clams, and mussels, all presented beautifully. The dishes are crafted with attention to detail, from artistic plate designs to oyster wallpaper in the bathrooms. The fresh oysters are delightful, and the salmon tartare, heirloom tomato dish, and salmon with fingering potatoes are highly recommended. The restaurant provides a welcoming and caring environment, with helpful staff who ensure guests have plenty to eat and accommodate specific preferences. The service is excellent, and the friendly bartender enhances the experience with knowledgeable, funny, and sweet service. Although it is an upscale spot, generous portion sizes and high food value make it worth the cost. The front seating offers spectacular views, perfect for enjoying oysters and other dishes. Driftwood is especially suited for those who appreciate thoughtful, high-quality food sourced from local farmers and markets, avoiding imported goods. With its stunning views, unique menu, and attentive service, Driftwood remains a must-visit spot in West Seattle.
