    Outstanding dinner from start to finish. Danica, our server, was excellent, very welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable. The food was superb. The lobster bisque was so good. Then my husband had the swordfish which was fresh and flavorful. I had the salmon with the cauliflower mash and asparagus. Everything was so delicious and cooked to perfection.

    The Drifthouse gave us a most memorable Valentine experience. We were seated at a prime table with a view of the ocean and the pool. Although off season, we had the feel that wait staff through top management were there to make this the wonderful time it actually was for us. Mealwas excellent! The seafood platter was fresh and cooked to yield greatest taste. Having to choose between two wonderful pies, the General Manager Hafid Elboji, solved my predicament by giving me BOTH! Serve throughout the meal by Vincent was flawless, anticipating our every need, and resolving it in anticipation. This is a high spot of Jersey Shore dining. I expect to be returning often!
