    Our second visit and it was as good as the first! We feel like we’re on vacation sitting on the covered terrace. The service is friendly and efficient. They were out of my fav Sauvignon blanc and our handsome server offered to bring me a taste of other wines . For dinner, I started with the watermelon salad that was delicious especially on a warm summer evening. For my entree, I ordered the drunken clams that are the tastiest I’ve ever had. They add roasted tomatoes to the garlic broth and it really adds a whole level of taste to the steamed clams. My husband had his usual plain burger that he said was cooked as ordered and was very tasty. Our only complaint and it really isn’t a big deal but it’s very noisy when there are large groups. Oh well, people are enjoying themselves on vacation! We’ll be back!

    Had three meals at Drift, thus enjoyed food, location, and atmosphere. First breakfast had prompt friendly service from waitress. Next two visits had waiters where we had to ask bus or hostess to get order taken and to pay check which should have been easy since we told in advance we would charge to room. Other staff were helpful. In particular thought bus staff did good job of cleaning between patrons. Almost everything at Spray Beach Hotel on the Ocean is clean and like new.

    Our server was terrific and it’s nice to “sit outside” but not have the sun beating down on you. Food is very good.

    We were very happy with Drift Bar and Restaurant. Service was excellent. Immediately upon meeting our server, she handed me a gluten free marked menu bc she had read my Open Table profile. Drinks and the mussels were delicious. The chef had no trouble with my asking for tuna instead of shrimp on my wonderful salad. What a pleasant evening! We will return!
