    Had a wonderful dinner in the dining room section of Drifthouse by David Burke. The Chicken Francese and Drifthouse Burger were cooked to perfection and the dining room offered 360 degree views of the ocean and sunset over the bay. The staff was so welcoming and friendly and they make you feel right at home. The updated Fireplace room's ambiance is so cozy and the perfect place to hang out and enjoy a cocktail on colder days. Drifthouse is open to the public all year round so make a reservation and dine in soon!
