    Fantastic food, especially the New Year’s specials like cheesy pull apart bread and lobster ravioli. Service was a little slow. Food was quick to be delivered to our table - entrees came out before we were done with appetizers - but was delivered by runners rather than our server so we had to sit with empty glasses till our server finally returned. Probably a staffing issue due to the New Year’s holiday.

    Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!

    Food was delicious, service was Excellent! The Chef even came out to check on us. We went early, 5:30pm so it was a bit quiet but the restaurant is very charming and cozy. Would love to go back on a Saturday night when there is Flamenco and finish my night with an espresso from the beautiful machine they have. I wish them the best!
